The Meeting adopted the Income Statement and Balance Sheet, as well as the consolidated financial statements and the Auditor’s report on the consolidated financial statements. The Meeting discharged the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability for the full year 2013. The Meeting resolved to re-elect all current members of the Board, which continues to comprise David Chance, Blake Chandlee, Simon Duffy, Lorenzo Grabau, Michelle Guthrie, Alexander Izosimov and Mia Brunell Livfors and to re-elect David Chance as Chairman of the Board, until the close of the 2015 Annual General Meeting. The Meeting resolved to re-elect the accounting firm KPMG AB as auditor for a term of office ending at the close of the 2018 Annual General Meeting. The Meeting approved the payment of an annual ordinary dividend of SEK 10.50 per share to shareholders as at the record date of Friday 16 May 2014. The dividend payment is expected to be made on Wednesday 21 May 2014. The Meeting resolved to approve the proposal for remuneration to the Board and auditor and procedures for the Nomination Committee, as well as the guidelines for the remuneration to senior executives. The Meeting resolved to adopt a long term performance-based and share related incentive programme (“the Plan”) for approximately 140 senior executives and other key employees. In order to participate in the Plan, the CEO and the senior executives are required to make a personal investment in MTG Class B shares. Other key employees are not required to make a personal investment in MTG shares to participate in the Plan.
