Item 13: Proposal regarding principles for appointment of a nomination
committee for the annual general meeting 2018
The nomination committee proposes that the annual general meeting shall resolve to adopt
the following principles for the appointment of a nomination committee for the annual
general meeting 2018.

The nomination committee shall have three members. The chairman of the board shall
contact the two largest shareholders, with respect to voting power as per the end of the third
quarter of the year. These two shareholders are offered to appoint one member each to the
nomination committee, in which a member of the board also shall be a member. If any such
shareholder chooses not to exercise its right to appoint a member, the right shall pass on to
the shareholder who, after the aforementioned shareholder, has the largest shareholding. The
chairman of the nomination committee shall be elected by and from the members of the
nomination committee. However, a member of the board of the Company may not be
chairman of the nomination committee.

If a shareholder, who has appointed a member of the nomination committee, sells a not
insignificant part of its shareholding during the tenure of the nomination committee and
thereby ceases to be a shareholder with rights to appoint a member of the nomination
committee, the member appointed by such shareholder should resign from the
nomination committee. Such member shall then be replaced by a member appointed by
the shareholder who, based on voting power following the sale, is one of the two largest
shareholders in the Company. If such shareholder does not exercise its right to appoint a
member of the nomination committee, the procedure above shall be applicable.

In the event a member no longer represents the shareholder who appointed him or her, or in
any other way is dismissed from the nomination committee prior to the completion of the
nomination committee’s work, such shareholder shall be allowed to appoint a new member of
the nomination committee.

No fees shall be paid to the members of the nomination committee. The nomination
committee shall pursue the tasks that, according to the Swedish Code of Corporate
Governance, are of the responsibility of a nomination committee.

Proposals of the board

Item 8b: Appropriation of the Company’s results

The funds at the Meeting’s disposal consists of the result of the year, SEK 147,566,233, the
share premium reserve, SEK577,705,947, and the Company’s accumulated results,
SEK 117,349,505, in total SEK 842,621,685.

The board proposes that the funds at the Meeting’s disposal shall be carried forward and
that no dividends are paid out for the financial year 2016.

Item 14: Proposal for remuneration guidelines for the senior management

The board proposes that the Meeting resolves that the following guidelines shall apply for
remuneration to the Company’s senior management for the time until the end of the next
annual general meeting.

Remuneration to the Company’s senior management shall be market based and competitive
in order to enable the Company to attract and keep competent senior management.
Remuneration shall be appropriate in such way as to justify a long-term value creation for
the Company. Remuneration may consist of four parts:

 fixed salary and fees,
 variable remuneration, which includes share and share price related incentive

programs,

  •   pensions, as well as
  •   other economic benefits.The board decides which structure the remuneration shall consist of in order to efficiently
    fulfil its purpose. If variable remuneration shall be paid, this remuneration shall be linked to
    predetermined and measurable criteria, as well as be designed with the purpose to promote
    the Company’s long term value creation. Variable remuneration may amount to a maximum
    of 50 per cent of the fixed annual salary. Share and share price related incentive programs,
    if any, shall be designed to align the interest of the owners of the Company and the senior
    management.The board shall be entitled to deviate from the guidelines above if the board, in certain cases,
    deems that there are special reasons to motivate such deviation.

    Item 15: Proposal to authorise the board to acquire the Company’s own shares

    The board proposes that the Meeting resolves to authorise the board to decide on the
    acquisition of the Company’s own shares where, principally, the following shall apply;

  1. AcquisitionofownsharesshalltakeplaceonNasdaqStockholm.
  2. The authorisation may be utilised on one or several occasions, however not longer thanuntil the 2018 annual general meeting.
  3. Shares may be acquired to the extent that the Company’s holding of its own shares, onany occasion, does not exceed ten (10) per cent of the Company’s total shares.
  4. Acquisition of shares may only take place at a price within the price interval, on any
    occasion, recorded on Nasdaq Stockholm, which refers to the interval between thehighest buying price and the lowest selling price.

The purpose of the proposed authorisation is to provide flexibility in relation to the
Company’s possibilities to return capital to its shareholders, to improve the capital efficiency
in the Company, and to prevent an excessively wide NAV/share price discount in relation to
the Company’s shares, which altogether is deemed to be susceptible to have a positive
impact on the Company’s share price and thereby contribute to an increased shareholder
value.

A resolution in accordance with the board’s proposal shall only be valid where supported by
not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Meeting.

Item 16: Proposal to resolve to reduce the share capital and resolve on a bonus
issue
The board proposes that the Meeting resolves to reduce the share capital and resolves on a
bonus issue in accordance with item (a) – (b) below. The resolutions are contingent of each
other and are therefore proposed to be adopted as one resolution.

(a) Reduction of the share capital by way of cancellation of own shares

The board proposes that the Meeting resolves to reduce the Company’s share capital with

SEK 46,673.45 for allocation to unrestricted equity. The reduction shall be made by
cancellation of acquired own shares that are held by the Company on the day of the notice
to the annual general meeting.

(b) Bonus issue without the issuance of new shares

The board proposes that the Company’s share capital shall be increased with SEK 46,673.45
with the amount being transferred from unrestricted equity (according to the balance sheet
to be adopted by the Meeting). The bonus issue shall be carried out without the issuance of
new shares.

A resolution in accordance with the board’s proposal shall only be valid where supported by
not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Meeting.

The annual report and the auditor’s report, as well as the proposals from the board
according to items 14-16 and the auditor’s and the board’s statements according to the
Swedish Companies Act will be held available at the Company’s office on Grev Turegatan 10,
1st floor, Stockholm, Sweden as from Thursday, 11 May 2017, and will be sent to the
shareholders who so request and who inform the Company of their postal address. The
documents, together with the nomination committee’s proposals, will also be held available
