Item 14 – Resolution regarding guidelines for the remuneration of senior executives

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting adopts guidelines for remuneration and other terms of employment for senior executives as follows. For this purpose, senior executive is defined as the Managing Director, the Chief Financial Officer and the Head of Beijer Ref.

The remuneration shall consist of a fixed salary, a variable salary, a pension and other remuneration such as a company car. The total remuneration shall be on market terms and support the interest of the shareholders by enabling the company to attract and retain senior executives.

The fixed salary is renegotiated annually and takes into account the area of responsibility, competence, performance and experience of the individual. The variable part of the salary is based on qualitative and quantitative target fulfilment. The individual will receive a maximum amount equivalent to one months’ salary. On the maximum outcome, the cost for the variable portion of the salary is estimated to amount to approximately SEK 1,000.000, in total.

The Executive Management’s pension scheme is contribution-based. An amount equivalent to 26 per cent of the gross salary, including variable salary, is appropriated annually for the Managing Director, and to an amount of up to 24 per cent of the gross salary, including variable salary, for the other Members of the Executive Management.

Severance pay of not more than 24 months’ salary will be paid to the Managing Director. Severance pay to the other Members of the Executive Management varies and amounts to no more than 24 months’ salary including salary upon notice. The Executive Management has a notice of termination of six months. Notice of termination by the Managing Director or other senior executives does not trigger any severance pay.

The Board of Directors prepares matters of remuneration and other terms of employment for the Executive Management and the Board of Directors as a whole constitutes the Remuneration Committee. The Managing Director does not participate in the work.

The Board of Directors may abandon these guidelines if there are specific reasons for it in an individual case.
