Remuneration will not be paid to the members of the Nomination Committee. It is further proposed that instruction and charter for the Nomination Committee is adopted. Item 14 The Board proposes that the AGM resolves to adopt guidelines regarding remuneration for the CEO and other senior executives in Nexam. The remuneration for the CEO and other senior executives may be fixed salary, pension, other benefits and share-based incentive programs. The guidelines means i.e that the CEO and other senior executives will be offered a fixed salary that is marketable. The remuneration of the CEO and other senior executives is based on factors such as work tasks, expertise, experience, position and performance. The CEO and other senior executives are entitled to annual pension contributions equivalent to 12 percent of the pensionable salary. A mutual notice period of six months for Nexam, the CEO and other senior executives and severance pay, in addition to salary, during the notice period may be up to a maximum of nine months' salary for the CEO and a maximum of 6 months for other senior executives. Item 15 The Board proposes that the AGM resolves to implement an incentive program with warrants for senior executives and key persons in the company in accordance with the following: · A maximum of 1,083,849 warrants shall be issued. · With deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the warrants may only be subscribed for by Nexam’s wholly owned subsidiary Nexam Chemical AB. Over subscription cannot occur. · Subscription shall be made at the latest on 31 October 2014, provided that the Board shall be entitled to prolong the subscription period. · The warrants shall be issued without consideration. The reason for issuing the warrants without consideration is that the warrants shall be utilized for implementation of Incentive Program 2014/2017. · Nexam Chemical AB shall have the right to, at one or several occasions, transfer warrants to senior executives and key persons in the Nexam group and to otherwise handle the warrants to fulfil the obligations under Incentive Program 2014/2017. Transfers to participants in Incentive Program 2014/2017 shall be made against cash consideration corresponding to the market value of the warrants calculated in accordance with the “Black Scholes” formula and accepted assumptions regarding among others volatility and risk free interest, which assumptions shall be based on measurements during the period 1 September 2014 – 12 September 2014 (the “Measurement Period”). · Each warrant confers right to subscribe for one new share in Nexam against cash payment at a subscription price corresponding to 150 per cent of the volume weighted average last closing price for Nexam’s share on Nasdaq OMX First North during the Measurement Period. The subscription price shall be rounded off to the nearest whole 10 öre, where 5 öre shall be rounded upwards. The subscription price and the number of shares that each warrant confers right to subscribe for shall be subject to customary recalculation formulas in connection with i.a. split, consolidation and rights issues. · The subscription right may be utilized during the period from and including 25 September 2017 to and including 9 October 2017. · The shares issued upon utilization of a warrant shall confer right to dividends as from the first AGM occurring after effectuation of the subscription. · The Board shall be entitled to resolve on transfer of warrants to senior executives and key persons in the Nexam group in accordance with the following guidelines: a) Key executives       at maximum 160,000 warrants per individual (apprx. 5) b) Key persons           at maximum 40,000 warrants per individual (apprx. 12) · Key executive who is also a member of the Board, shall not be entitled to participate in Incentive Program 2014/2017. · Notice of participation from key executives and key persons to participate in Incentive Program 2014/2017 shall have been received by Nexam at the latest on 30 September 2014, provided that the Board shall be entitled to prolong this time period and to apply a different notification period for participants that are subsequently employed in the Nexam group. · In case all warrants are exercised for subscription of new shares, the share capital will increase with SEK 20,843.250001. The reasons for the implementation of the warrant program with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights are to be able to create possibilities for Nexam to retain competent key persons through the offering of a long term ownership engagement for the key persons. Such ownership engagement is expected to stimulate the key persons to an increased interest in the business and profit development and increase the feeling of connectedness with Nexam. Nexam’s subsidiary Nexam Chemical AB has previously issued 7,280 warrants to employees. Each warrant confers right to subscription of one new share in the subsidiary at a subscription price of SEK 1,000 per share (4,340 warrants) and the subscription price of SEK 2,000 per share (2,940 warrants), respectively. The warrants can be utilized during the periods 15 September 2016 – 15 December 2016 (2,040 warrants), 15 September 2017 – 15 December 2017 (2,300 warrants) and 1 October 2018 – 31 December 2018 (2,940 warrants). Nexam has entered into agreements with the holder of the warrants pursuant to which Nexam has the right to acquire the shares potentially subscribed for against payment in the form of 182.5034 shares in Nexam for each new issued share in the subsidiary. In case all warrants are exercised for subscription of shares in the subsidiary, Nexam will issue 1,328,625 shares as consideration. The now proposed Incentive Program 2014/2017 and thereby associated issue of at maximum 1,083,849 warrants in accordance with the proposal above, may cause a dilution of approximately 2.0 per cent of Nexam’s share capital and votes after full dilution, calculated as the number of shares that will be added upon full exercise of Incentive Program 2014/2017 in relation to the number of existing shares with the addition of the shares that will be added upon full exercise of all warrants outstanding in the group. In case all warrants (existing as well as the now proposed) are exercised, the aggregate dilution, calculated in the same manner, will amount to approximately 4.45 per cent. Since the warrants in Incentive Program 2014/2017 will be transferred at market value, it is Nexam’s opinion that no social charges will be triggered for Nexam due to Incentive Program 2014/2017. The costs for Incentive Program 2014/2017 will hence only consist of limited costs related to implementation and administration of the program. Item 16 The Board proposes that the AGM authorizes the Board, on one or several occasions until the next AGM, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, to resolve on new issues of shares. Issues may be made with or without the provisions regarding contribution in kind, set-off or other conditions. The number of shares that may be issued may not exceed a total of 5,753,333 shares (provided that such number of shares may be issued without amendment of the Articles of Association). The dilution may, upon full exercise of the authorization, amount to at the highest approximately 10 per cent. The purpose of the authorization is to enable to raise working capital, to enable to execute and finance acquisitions and to enable new issues to industrial partners within the framework of partnerships and alliances. To the extent the authorization is used for new issues with cash payment with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the issue price shall be on market terms. Particular majority decisions Valid resolution under item 15 requires that the proposals are supported by shareholders representing at least nine tenths of the votes submitted and represented at the AGM. Valid resolution under item 16 requires that the proposals are supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes submitted and represented at the AGM. Number of shares and votes As of the date of issuing of this notice to attend, the total number of registered shares and votes in the company amounts to 51,780,000. The company holds no own shares.
