RESOLUTION PROPSAL

Chairman of the Meeting
(agenda item 1)
The Nomination Committee has proposed that the Chairman of the Board, Fredrik Arp, shall be elected Chairman of the 2023 Annual General Meeting, or in the event of his absence, the person appointed by the Nomination Committee.

Approval of remuneration report
(agenda item 7 b)
Prior to the 2023 Annual General Meeting, the Board has, in accordance with Chapter 8, section 53 a of the Swedish Companies Act, prepared a report detailing paid and outstanding compensation which is covered by the remuneration guidelines resolved at the 2022 Annual General Meeting.

The remuneration report, which is available on Nolato’s website, must be approved by the Annual General Meeting. Thus, the Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting approves the remuneration report for the financial year 2022.

Dividend and record date
(agenda item 7 c)
The Board proposes a dividend of SEK 1.90 per share, which constitutes 78 % of the profit for 2022 after tax, excluding non-recurring items. The proposal is consistent with Nolato’s dividend policy, which is to propose a dividend that exceeds 50 % of profit after tax, taking into account Nolato’s long-term development opportunities, financial position and investment needs.

The Board has decided to propose that 5 May 2023 be set as the dividend record date, meaning that, if the Meeting resolves in accordance with the proposal, the dividend is expected to be paid out by Euroclear on 10 May 2023.

Determination of the number of Board members, deputy Board members, auditors and deputy auditors to be appointed by the Meeting
(agenda item 8)
The Nomination Committee has proposed that the Board shall consist of eight ordinary members elected by the Meeting and no deputies and that the number of auditors shall be one accounting firm without any deputies.

Determination of fees payable to the Board and the auditors
(agenda item 9)
The Nomination Committee has proposed that, until the next Annual General Meeting, the Board shall receive fees totaling SEK 3,467,000 (3,360,000), excluding travel allowance, for board work and remuneration for work in the Audit and Remuneration Committee, to be distributed as follows among the non-employed members elected by the Annual General Meeting: SEK 1,000,000 (975,000) to the Chairman of the Board and SEK 310,000 (300,000) each to the other members, SEK 110,000 (100,000) to the Chairman of the Audit Committee and SEK 67,000 (65,000) to the ordinary member, SEK 80,000 (80,000) to the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee and SEK 40,000 (40,000) to the ordinary member. In addition, it is proposed that Carina van den Berg receives a fee of SEK 65,000 for her work as a member of the Audit Committee in 2022, which was not covered by the remuneration decision at the 2022 Annual General Meeting. Thus, the total remuneration proposed to be paid by the Nomination Committee amounts to SEK 3,532,000.

The Nomination Committee has also proposed that the auditor’s fee shall be payable in accordance with approved invoice.

Election of Board members, deputy Board members, Chairman of the Board and auditors
(agenda item 10)
The Nomination Committee has proposed that re-election of the following members of the Board will take place: Fredrik Arp, Carina van den Berg, Tomas Blomquist, Sven Boström, Lovisa Hamrin, Åsa Hedin, Erik Lynge-Jorlén and Lars-Åke Rydh until the next Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee has also proposed that Fredrik Arp be re-elected as Chairman of the Board.

The Nomination Committee has also proposed that the registered auditing firm Ernst & Young Aktiebolag be appointed auditor until the end of the 2024 Annual General Meeting, in accordance with the Audit Committee’s proposal. The auditing firm has announced that Authorized Public Accountant Joakim Falck will continue to serve as auditor in charge, provided that the firm is re-elected.

Guidelines for the remuneration of senior executives
(agenda item 11)
The Board propose that the Annual General Meeting adopt updated guidelines for remuneration of Board members and senior executives. The senior executives are the CEO and other members of group management. The changes compared with the previously applicable guidelines consists of an increase, from 40 percent to 50 percent of the base salary, in the maximum amount that the senior executives can receive as variable compensation. For full guidelines, see the complete proposal on the Company’s website www.nolato.com/agm.

Resolution on authorization for the Board to resolve on new issues of class B shares
(agenda item 12)
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorizes the Board to resolve – on one or more occasions and for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting – to increase the Company’s share capital by issuing new class B shares, to the extent that such new issues can be made without amending the Articles of Association. The total number of class B shares that may be issued pursuant to the authorization may not exceed ten per cent of the total number of outstanding shares in the Company, at the time of the notice of the Meeting.

New share issues may be made with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and with or without provisions for assets contribution in kind or set-off. The purpose of the authorization is to increase the financial flexibility of the Company and the acting scope of the Board. Should the Board resolve on a new issue with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the reason shall be to secure financing capacity for Company acquisitions, alternatively, to enable shares to be used as payment in such acquisitions. Upon such deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the new issue shall be made at market terms and conditions.

The CEO, or any person appointed by the CEO, shall be authorized to make minor adjustments of the resolution mentioned above, as may be required in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

A valid resolution in accordance with the Boards’ submitted proposal as described above, requires that the resolution is supported by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.

The Board and CEO shall, if requested by any shareholder and if the Board is of the opinion that it can be done without causing material harm to the Company, provide information regarding circumstances that may affect the assessment of an item on the agenda or circumstances that may affect the assessment of the Company's or a subsidiary’s financial situation and the Company’s relationship with another Group company.
