The tasks of the Nomination Committee shall be to prepare, for the next annual general meeting, proposals in respect of number of directors of the Board of Directors, remuneration to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the other directors of the Board of Directors and the auditors, respectively, remuneration, if any, for committee work, the composition of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, resolution regarding the Nomination Committee, chairman at the annual general meeting and election of auditors.

The Board of Directors shall have an appropriate composition with regard to the company's operations, development phase and conditions, characterized by versatility and breadth of the elected members' competence, experience and background. An even gender distribution should be sought.

The Nomination Committee shall consist of four members. The three, in terms of votes, largest shareholders/owner groups (the “Largest Shareholders”) as per 31 August the year prior to the next annual general meeting, according to the list of shareholders in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB or that in another way are proved to be one of the Largest Shareholders, are entitled to appoint one member each of the Nomination Committee. In addition, the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall be appointed as member of the Nomination Committee. The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall summon the Largest Shareholders by 15 October the year preceding the annual general meeting, at the latest.

If it becomes known that a shareholder that has appointed a member of the Nomination Committee, as a result of changes in said owner’s shareholdings or due to changes in other owners’ shareholdings, is no longer one of the Largest Shareholders, the committee member who was appointed by said shareholder shall, if the Nomination Committee so decides, resign and be replaced by a new member appointed by the shareholder who at the time is the largest registered shareholder that has not already appointed a member of the Nomination Committee.

If the registered ownership structure is otherwise significantly changed prior to the completion of the Nomination Committee’s work, the composition of the  Nomination Committee shall, if the Nomination Committee so decides, be changed in accordance with the above stated principle.

The Company shall pay for reasonable costs that the Nomination Committee has considered to be necessary in order for the Nomination Committee to be able to complete its assignment.

Item 9 b) – Resolution on allocation of the result of the Company in accordance with the adopted balance sheet

The Board of Directors proposes that the meeting resolves upon a dividend to shareholders of preference shares in accordance with the articles of association.

Of the funds disposable by the general meeting, SEK 811,914,765, SEK 8 per preference share, i.e. in total SEK 14,000,000, shall be paid quarterly to shareholders of preference shares with a quarter of the total amount (i.e. SEK 2 per preference share) per payment. The proposal is based on all the outstanding preference shares as of the day of this notice (i.e. a total of 1,750,000 preference shares).

Suggested record dates for the dividend are:

  • 13 September 2019 with an estimated payment date on 18 September 2019;
  • 13 December 2018 with an estimated payment date on 18 December 2019; and
  • 13 March 2020 with an estimated payment date of 18 March 2020.

The Board of Directors proposes that no dividends are paid for ordinary shares of series A or series B, and that the Company’s remaining accumulated results of SEK 893,164,545 are instead carried forward on new account, of which SEK 715, 397,976 are transferred to share premium.

Item 16 – Resolution regarding guidelines for remuneration to the senior management

Senior executives refer to the CEO and to members of the group management, which currently consists of six persons (“Senior Executives”). The purpose of the guidelines is to enable the Company’s and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) to recruit, motivate and retain senior executives within the Group. The goal of the remuneration is for it to be competitive while at the same time being in line with the interests of the shareholders. Remuneration paid to Senior Executives shall consist of fixed and variable salary, the possibility to participate in a long-term incentive program, and pension compensation. These components will, jointly, create a well-balanced remuneration that reflects individual expertise, responsibility and performance, both over the short term and long term, as well as the Group’s total performance.

Fixed salary

Fixed salary paid to Senior Executives shall be competitive and based on the expertise, responsibility and performance of the individual executive.

Variable salary

In addition to a fixed salary, the Senior Executives may receive variable remuneration. Such variable remuneration may not exceed 50 per cent of the fixed annual salary. The variable remuneration shall be based on the results of predetermined and documented financial and individual targets. Long-term variable remuneration in the form of shares and/or share related instruments in the Company shall be distributed by participation in long-term incentive programs resolved by a general meeting. Such programs shall be based on performance, require a continuing employment in the Group and require an investment by the participants themselves.

Other benefits

The Group offers other benefits to Senior Executives in accordance with local practice. Such other benefits may include, for example, a company car and corporate healthcare. For a limited period of time and where applicable, housing may be provided.

Pension

The Senior Executives shall be entitled to pension compensation based on what is customary in the country of employment. The compensation shall preferably be premium based.

Termination period and severance pay

A termination period of maximum 12 months, with right to severance during the termination period, applies to termination with respect to Senior Executives, according to their contract. The Company does not grant any further severance.

Deviations from the guidelines

Where special cause exists, the board of directors may deviate from the guidelines above, such as for example with respect to additional variable compensation in the event of exceptional performance. In such cases, the Board of Directors shall explain the reasons for the deviation at the immediately following annual general meeting of the shareholders.

Miscellaneous

The annual report and the auditors’ report and complete proposals together with a proxy form will be available at the Company’s website www.sdiptech.com, and at the Company’s head of office at Stureplan 15, 111 45 Stockholm, Sweden not later than on 22 April 2019. All documents will also be sent free of charge to those shareholders who so request and provide the Company with their address.

Shareholders attending the general meeting may request information in accordance with Chapter 7, section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)).
