Principles for the appointment of a nomination committee
The nomination committee proposes that the AGM resolves to appoint a new nomination committee for the AGM in 2016 in accordance with the model previously applied.
This model means that the Chairman of the board is being assigned to contact the three largest owner registered or otherwise known shareholders in the company as per 30 September 2015 and ask them whether these shareholders wish to appoint a member to the company's nomination committee for the 2016 AGM. In the event that such a shareholder does not wish to appoint a member, or if the shareholder sells a substantial portion of its shares before the nomination committee manages to constitute itself, the next largest shareholder who has not yet been contacted, shall be asked. The members appointed in this manner, together with the Chairman of the board as convener, are to form the nomination committee. The committee shall appoint one of its members as Chairman. The names of the committee members shall be announced not later than six (6) months before the AGM to be held in 2016. The nomination committee shall comply with and fulfill the duties ensuing from the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance and shall submit a proposal for the process of appointing a new nomination committee at the next AGM.
If any shareholder that has appointed a member to the nomination committee sells a substantial proportion of its shares in the company before the completion of the committee’s assignment, the member appointed by this shareholder shall resign, if the committee so decides, and be replaced by a new member to be appointed by the shareholder that is, at that point in time, the largest registered shareholder not already represented in the committee. If any member of the committee ceases to represent the shareholder that appointed the member or if a member should resign from the committee before the completion of the committee’s assignment, such member shall be replaced by a new member appointed by the shareholder, if the committee so decides. If the registered ownership situation otherwise significantly changes before the completion of the committee’s assignment, the composition of the committee shall be changed, if the committee so decides, in accordance with the principles stated above.
The term of office for the committee appointed in this manner shall run until a new nomination committee has been constituted.
No remuneration shall be paid for the work of the members of the nomination committee, with the exception of direct expenses that committee members incur in conjunction with their assignment. However, if required, the company shall cover any reasonable external costs that the committee considers necessary for the completion of its assignment.
Documents, etc.
The annual accounts with the auditors’ report will be available at the company (see address above) as well as on the company’s website www.paresources.se. Copies of the said documentation will be sent by post to shareholders requesting it and stating their postal address.
According to chapter 7, section 32, of the Swedish Companies Act, the board and the managing director, if a shareholder requests it and the board deems it may be done without harming the company, will inform the meeting regarding circumstances that may affect the evaluation of an item on the agenda, circumstances that may affect the financial situation of the company’s or a subsidiary’s financial situation, as well as the company’s relation to another company in the group. A question may be put in advance in the same manner as notice of participation above.
The number of outstanding shares and votes in the company at the time of this notice amounts to 113,167,992.
