Item 13 – Resolution on guidelines for remuneration for the senior management

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting adopt guidelines for remuneration to senior management as set out below.

Scope and applicability of the guidelines

These guidelines include the Company's CEO and the persons who are part of Senzime's management team from time to time. The guidelines also apply to remuneration to the members of the board, to the extent that such remuneration is paid for work for or provided services to the Company outside the scope of their board assignment.

The guidelines apply to remuneration that is agreed, and to amendments to agreed remuneration that are made, after the guidelines have been adopted by the annual general meeting 2022. Transfers of securities and the right to acquire securities from the Company in the future is considered to be remuneration.

The guidelines do not apply to remuneration which is decided or approved by the annual general meeting, such as share-related incentive programs.

Senior executive who maintain a position as a member or deputy on the board of Group companies shall not receive special board remuneration for such position.

The guidelines' contribution to the Company’s business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability

Senzime is a Swedish Company that develops and markets systems, powered by unique algorithms and sensors, to monitor the patient's muscle function and electrical impulses - before, during and after surgery. The Company’s solution is called TetraGraph®, a medical technology system that digitally and continuously measures the degree of neuromuscular blockade in the patient.

Senzime’s vision is improved clinical precision and simplified management in healthcare. By preventing complications and enabling healthcare professionals to follow healthcare guidelines and drug recommendations, the Company's products contribute to shorter hospital stays and lower healthcare costs. The Company's development portfolio also includes innovative, patient-oriented solutions that enable automated and continuous measurement of biological substances such as glucose and lactate in blood and tissue fluids.

Senzime’s business model means that the Company works with development and sales together with distributors, licensees and other partners or under its own management.

A successful implementation of the Company's strategy and the safeguarding of the Company's long-term interests prerequires that the Company can recruit and retain management with good competence and capacity to achieve set goals. This requires that the Company can offer competitive remuneration. These guidelines contribute to the Company's business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability by giving the Company the opportunity to offer senior executives a competitive remuneration.

Remuneration forms

The remuneration offered must be market-based and may consist of fixed salary, variable cash remuneration, pension benefits and other benefits.

Fixed salary must be individual for each senior manager and be based on the manager's position, responsibility, competence, experience and performance. The senior manager may be offered the opportunity to change salaries between fixed salary and pension respectively other benefits, provided that it is cost-neutral for the Company.

Variable remuneration shall be related to the outcome of the Company's goals and strategies and shall be based on predetermined and measurable criteria designed with the aim of promoting long-term value creation. The proportion of the total remuneration that consists of variable remuneration must be able to vary depending on the position. In the case of the CEO and other senior executives, the variable remuneration may correspond to a maximum of 50 percent of the annual fixed salary. The variable remuneration shall not be pensionable, insofar as nothing else follows from mandatory collective agreement provisions. The board shall be able, in accordance with law or agreement, with the limitations that follow from it, to fully or partially recover variable remuneration paid on incorrect grounds.

Pension benefits shall be premium based, insofar as the executive is not covered by defined-benefit pension in accordance with mandatory collective agreement provisions. The pension premiums for premium based pensions may amount to a maximum of 40 percent of the senior executive's annual fixed salary.

Other benefits may include car benefits, occupational health care, life and health insurance and other similar benefits. Other benefits shall constitute a smaller proportion of the total remuneration and may correspond to a maximum of 10 percent of the senior manager's annual fixed salary.

Consultancy fees must be market-based. To the extent that consulting services are performed by a board member of the Company, the board member concerned is not entitled to participate in the board's (or the remuneration committee’s) preparation of issues concerning remuneration for the relevant consulting services.

In addition to and independently of these guidelines, the annual general meeting may decide on share-based payments and the like.

Criteria for payment of variable remuneration

The criteria for variable remuneration shall be determined annually by the board in order to ensure that the criteria is in line with Senzime’s current business strategy and financial targets. The criteria can be individual or collective, financial or non-financial and shall be designed in such a way that they promote the Company’s business strategy, sustainability strategy and long-term interests. The criteria may, for example, be linked to the Company achieving certain business-related goals, for example regarding sales and permits. The criteria can also be linked to the employee itself, for example that the employee must have worked within the Company for a certain period of time.

The period on which the assessment of whether the criteria have been met or not must be at least one year. The assessment of the extent to which the criteria have been met shall be made when the measurement period has ended. The assessment of whether financial criteria have been met shall be based on the most recently published financial information by the Company. The board decides on the payment of any variable remuneration after preparation by the remuneration committee .

Salary and terms of employment for employees

In order to assess the reasonableness of the guidelines, the board has taken into account the salary and terms of employment for the Company's employees when preparing the proposal for these guidelines. In doing so, the board has taken into account information regarding the employees' total remuneration, what forms the remuneration consists of and the increase and growth rate of the remuneration over time

Termination period and severance pay

With regard to the CEO, the notice period in the event of termination by the Company shall not exceed twelve months, while the notice period in the event of termination by the CEO shall not exceed six months.

With regard to senior management other than the CEO, the notice period in the event of termination by the Company shall be a minimum of three months and a maximum of twelve months, while the notice period in the event of termination by the senior manager shall be a minimum of three months and a maximum of six months, unless otherwise follows from law.

Severance pay can be paid to senior management in the event of termination by the Company. Fixed salary during the notice period and severance pay may not, in aggregate, exceed an amount corresponding to the fixed salary for one year.

Compensation may be paid for non-compete undertakings. Such compensation shall compensate for any loss of income and shall only be paid to the extent that the former senior manager has no right to severance pay. The remuneration may amount to a maximum of 60 percent of the senior manager's fixed salary at the time of termination, unless otherwise follows from mandatory collective agreement provisions. Such compensation may be paid during the period in which the compete undertaking is valid, which may not exceed 12 months after the termination of employment, with the possibility of settlement against other income from employment or pursuant to a consulting agreement.

Decision-making process for establishing, reviewing and implementing the guidelines

The board has established a remuneration committee and the committee’s mains tasks include preparing the board’s decisions regarding renumeration principles, renumeration and other terms of employment for the Company management, monitoring and evaluating ongoing and under the year completed programs for variable remuneration to the senior management, and monitoring and evaluating the application of the guidelines for remuneration to the senior management which is to be decided by the general meeting, and renumeration structures and levels in the Company. The committee's tasks also include preparing the board's decision on proposals for guidelines for remuneration to the senior management.

The board shall prepare proposals for new guidelines in the event of a need for significant changes to the guidelines, however, at least every fourth year. The board shall submit the proposal for resolution to the general meeting. The guidelines shall be in force until new guidelines are adopted by the general meeting.

In order to avoid conflicts of interest, the senior management will not participate in the board’s processing of and resolutions regarding remuneration-related matters in so far as they are affected by such matters.

Deviations from the guidelines

The board may decide to temporarily deviate from the guidelines only in individual cases if there are special and considerable reasons for doing so and the deviation is necessary to meet Company’s long-term interests and sustainability or to ensure the Company's financial viability.

Special and considerable reasons may, for example, be that a deviation is deemed necessary in order to recruit or retain key personnel or in extraordinary circumstances such as that the Company achieves a certain desired result in a shorter time than planned, that the Company succeeds in concluding a certain agreement in a shorter time and with better conditions than anticipated or that the Company increases in value or increases its sales or profit to a greater extent than forecasted.

Item 15 – Resolution on introducing incentive program 2022/2026

Introduction

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves (A) on the introduction of an employee stock option program (“Program 2022/2026or the “Program”) intended for the Company's or the group’s employees and key employees, (B) on a directed issue of warrants to the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company MD Biomedical AB, corp. reg. no. 556837-0273 (the ”Subsidiary”), to ensure the Company's delivery of shares under the employee stock option program and to cover any cash flow effects due to social security costs as a result of the employee stock option program and (C) on approval of transfer of warrants or shares in the Company from the Subsidiary to the participants in the employee stock option program. Resolutions according to A, B and C above must be made as one decision and are thus conditional to each other.

The board of directors considers that it is important and in all shareholders' interests that the Company’s employees, who are deemed to be important for the Company's further development, have a long-term interest in a good growth in value of the shares in the Company. A personal long-term ownership commitment can be expected to contribute to an increased interest in the Company's operations and earnings development, and increase the participants’ motivation and relationship with the Company and its shareholders. The board also considers that the employee stock option program creates the conditions for limiting future salary costs, as the program becomes part of the participants' remuneration package and replaces, partially or entirely, any bonus programs.

The maximum dilution effect of the proposed incentive program, assuming that all warrants are exercised for subscription of new shares, will be approximately 1.6 per cent of the share capital in the Company. The estimation has been made in relation to the number of outstanding shares and options in the Company at the date of the notice of the extra general meeting. For the relationship to previous incentive programs in the Company, see below.

This proposal was prepared by the board in consultation with external counsel.

The employee stock option program in relation to other remuneration

In general. The Company shall offer terms in line with market conditions that enable the Company to recruit and retain competent personnel and other key personnel. The Company therefore needs to be able to offer competitive total compensation to its personnel. Remuneration to the employees shall comprise a fixed salary, variable remuneration in some cases, pensions and other customary benefits (when applicable) and, upon the decision of the general meeting, a possibility to take part in long-term incentive programs. Remuneration is based on the individual’s commitment and performance in relation to previously established goals, both individual goals and goals for the entire Company. Individual performance is continuously evaluated. Examples of goals are sales and profit targets, development goals and share price.

Fixed salary and variable renumeration. The fixed salary is generally reviewed on an annual basis and shall take into account the individual’s level of responsibility and degree. The share of the fixed salary in relation to potential variable compensation shall be determined in relation to the employee’s responsibility and authority. The variable renumeration shall in each case be limited to a maximum amount in advance and shall be connected to pre-determined and measurable criteria and designed to promote long-term value creation of the Company.

Long-term incentive programs. The board intends to introduce a long-term employee stock program to the employees of the Company in accordance with the proposal below. The incentive program has been set up for the purpose of increasing the interest in the Company's business and contributing to a positive development of the business. The vesting period until a share may be acquired may not be less than 3 years.

Pension. Pension benefits shall be offered on market terms in relation to what applies to corresponding employees in the market and shall be based on a defined contribution scheme.

A. Program 2022/2026

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on the introduction of Program 2022/2026 on essentially the following terms.

  1. The Program shall include not more than 900,000 employee stock options.
  2. The employee stock options shall be assigned to the program participants free of charge.
  3. An offer of employee stock options is decided by the board of the Company regarding the CEO, as well as by the Board or the CEO of other employees.

    3. Exercising period. Participants can exercise granted and earned employee stock options during the period 1 February 2026 to 28 February 2027 (the “Exercising Period”).
    4. Goal fulfilment.

    6. For participants who have not been employed during the Evaluation Period and who have instead been allotted options in accordance with Section 6 above, shall this Section 11 apply regarding the exercise price.

Decisions on recalculation shall be made by the board of directors of the Company.
    10. The board or a person designated by the board shall have the right to decide on the minor deviations in the Program that may be needed to fulfil the purpose of the Program.

    11. Participation in the employee stock option program requires, first, that such participation may lawfully be made, secondly, that such participation according to the Company's assessment can be made with reasonable administrative costs and financial efforts.

B. Directed issue of warrants to the Subsidiary

To enable the Company's delivery of shares under employee stock option program 2022/2026 and to cover potential social security costs arising from the employee stock option program, the board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on a directed issue of a maximum of 1,000,000 warrants, out of which maximum of 900,000 warrants to cover the Company’s delivery of shares un the employee stock option program and a maximum of 100,000 warrants to cover cash flow effects from potential social security costs arising from the Program, according to the following terms.

  1. The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders pre-emption rights, apply to the Subsidiary.
  2. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights is that the issue forms a part in the introduction of Program 2022/2026 and to cover cash flow effects from potential social security costs arising from the Program.
  3. The warrants are issued free of charge. The reason for that is that the warrants are issued to the Subsidiary as a part of establishing the Program.
  4. Subscription of warrants shall be made on a subscription list within three weeks from the date of the resolution of the annual general meeting. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription period.
  5. Each warrant shall entitle a right to acquire one (1) new share in the Company at a subscription price of SEK 30 per share.
  6. Subscription of shares through the exercise of the warrants shall be done in accordance with the terms and conditions for the warrants from 1 February 2026 to 28 February 2027.
  7. If all warrants are exercised for subscription of shares, the Company’s registered share capital will increase by approximately SEK 125,000 (taking into account the current quota value and assuming that no recalculation takes place in accordance with the warrant terms).
  8. A new share that has been issued through a warrant entitles to dividends for the first time on the first record date for dividends that takes place after the subscription of new shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and registered in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB.
  9. The board of directors, or a person designated by the board, is authorized to make minor adjustments that are required for the registration and execution of the decision

The complete terms and conditions for the warrants are stated in “Terms and conditions for warrants 2022/2026, Senzime AB (publ)”. In the terms and conditions, it is stated that the subscription price, as well as the number of new shares to which each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe, may be recalculated in the event of certain situations.

C. Approval of transfer of warrants or shares in the Company

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to approve (i) that the Subsidiary may transfer a maximum of 900,000 warrants or shares in the Company to participants in the Program, or otherwise dispose of the warrants to secure the Company's commitments due to the program in connection with the participants exercising the employee stock options for subscription of new shares, and (ii) that the Subsidiary may dispose of no more than 100,000 warrants to cover potential cash flow effects from social security costs in accordance with the terms of the program.

Miscellaneous

Costs relating to Program 2022/2026

The employee stock option program has been designed in consultation with external legal and financial advisors. The cost of this advice is estimated at not more than SEK 100,000 (excluding VAT).

In addition to the advisory costs, the board of directors considers that the Program will entail costs in the form of social security contributions and administrative costs in connection with subscription of shares through exercise of the warrants and registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. These costs cannot currently be calculated with proper reliability, but as the proposal includes the issuance of options to cover cash flow effects as a result of any social security contributions, the Company's costs may be considered planned/managed in a satisfactory manner.

Previous incentive programs in the Company; dilution

The Company currently has four ongoing incentive programs:

  • warrant program 2019/2022 - 400,000 options (fully allotted),
  • employee stock option program 2020/2023 - 100,000 options (fully allotted), and
  • employee stock option program 2020/2024 - 1,100,000 options. Of these, 825,000 options have been allotted, and
  • employee stock option program 2021/2025 – 456,050 options (fully allotted)

Within the framework of the above option programs, an additional 830,450 options have also been issued to the Subsidiary, which can be used to cover any cash flow effects as a result of social costs due to the option program. Based on the existing number of shares and outstanding warrants at the time of this notice, the potential dilution due to all outstanding programs (including the now proposed Program 2022/2026), assuming that all warrants are exercised for new subscription of shares, will not exceed 4.3 percent of the shares and votes (of which, as mentioned above, the now proposed program accounts for about 1.6 percent). For a more detailed description of the Company's share-related incentive program, please refer to the annual report for the financial year 2021.

Item 16 – Resolution on a general authorization to the board of directors

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorizes the board of directors, for the time until the next annual general meeting, whether on one or several occasions, to increase the Company’s share capital with an amount that corresponds to ten (10) percent of the Company’s registered share capital at the time of the first utilization of the authorization. The board of directors shall be entitled to resolve on issues of shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments with or without deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights and/or by an issue in kind or by way of set-off.

An issue in accordance with this authorization shall be on market conditions. The board of directors shall be authorized to decide on the terms and conditions regarding issues under this authorization and what persons shall be entitled to subscribe for the shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments. The reason to propose that the board of directors shall be authorized to resolve on issues with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights and/or to resolve on issues in kind or by way of set-off, is that the Company shall be able to issue shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments in connection with acquisitions of companies or businesses as well as to raise capital to the Company by carrying out directed issues.

The CEO, or any other person appointed by the board of directors, shall have the right to make such minor adjustments to this resolution that may be necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
