The General Meeting resolved in accordance with the board’s proposal for participation in a long-term incentive programme 2010. Long-term incentive programme 2010 comprises two sub-programmes, subprogramme A and sub-programme B. Sub-programme A comprises that senior executives in Sweden, Denmark and Finland are offered to purchase, in aggregate, not more than 505,000 call options from Industrivärden at market price. Each call option entitles the holder to purchase one share in the Company during the period as from May 1, 2013 up to and including October 31, 2013. Sub-programme B comprises that senior executives in, inter alia, Germany, Great Britain, Holland and Norway as well as certain other countries in which the Indutrade group operates, are offered to purchase, in aggregate, not more than 175,000 shares in the Company from Industrivärden at market price. The Company participates in the programme in so far that each purchased call option and share, respectively, entitles to a fixed subsidy of SEK 22 from the Company, provided that certain conditions are fulfilled. The subsidy is paid by the Company to the participants at two occasions and in equal parts (1/2), in December 2011 and June 2013. Assuming full participation, long-term incentive programme 2010 will comprise approximately 115 participants. A participant can only participate in one subprogramme. The General Meeting resolved to authorize the board to issue a maximum of 4,000,000 shares and, in relation to such issues, deviate from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights.
