A shareholder who wishes to attend the AGM venue in person or by proxy must give notice of this in accordance with the instructions in (i) above. Hence, a notice of participation only through postal voting is not sufficient for a person who wishes to attend the AGM venue.
 
If a shareholder is represented by proxy, a written and dated Power of Attorney signed by the shareholder must be issued to the proxy and submitted to the company.

If a shareholder has submitted its postal vote and thereafter attends the AGM venue in person or by proxy, the postal vote will still be valid, to the extent that the shareholder does not participate in a voting during the meeting or otherwise withdraws its postal vote.

RESOLUTION ON GUIDELINES FOR REMUNERATION TO SENIOR EXECUTIVES (item 16)
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to adopt the following guidelines for remuneration to senior executives.
 
The executives covered by the guidelines are the CEO and the other members of the Group Management. The basis for the remuneration to members of the Group Management shall be the sustainability of the company within a commercial financial development, organizational structure to provide for a professionalism that is adapted to the company’s strategic objectives and also to provide the company with the adequate competence and resources at any given time. The remuneration to the Group Management shall comprise of fixed salary on market terms and variable remuneration, intended to stimulate the fulfilment of objectives of the company’s commercial and sustainable development, pension benefits and competitive other benefits. The total remuneration shall be on market terms, be competitive and reflect the individual’s performance and responsibilities.

For employments governed by rules other than Swedish, pension benefits and other benefits may be duly adjusted for compliance with mandatory such rules or established local practice, taking into account, to the extent possible, the overall purpose of these guidelines.

In accordance with a resolution by the annual general meeting 2023, a long-term share-based incentive scheme is established in the company. Such scheme is excluded from these guidelines. The purpose of the share-based incentive scheme is, among other things, to stimulate a sustainable and favourable value development of Thule Group’s share that will benefit the shareholders. The basis of the incentive scheme is the company’s strategic plan and sustainable development and constitute an incentive to fulfil the growth objectives that the company stipulated in its strategic three year plan.

Fixed salary shall be on market terms. The variable remuneration may compromise of annual variable cash remuneration and long-term variable cash remuneration. Annual variable cash remuneration shall be measured during a calendar year and be conditional upon the fulfilment of predefined and measurable objectives in relation to EBIT results, sales development, other financial objectives, sustainability objectives and/or other personal objectives. The annual variable remuneration shall amount to a maximum of 100 per cent of the annual fixed salary for the CEO and 80 per cent for the other executives, with requirements to use 50 per cent of the compensation net of tax to invest in the Thule share with a minimum holding period of three years.

If and to the extent the general meeting does not resolve to implement long-term share-based incentive schemes, variable remuneration may also consist of a long-term variable cash remuneration that is implemented annually. To participate in the scheme for long-term variable remuneration, an own investment is required by the participant. Long-term variable remuneration must be measured over a period of at least three calendar years and be conditional upon the fulfilment of predefined and measurable objectives during the measurement period, and the payment is conditional on a predetermined fulfilment of objectives within sustainability. The long-term variable remuneration must, with regard to each measurement period, be amount to a maximum of 150 per cent of the fixed salary.

The terms and conditions for variable remuneration shall be designed so that the Board of Directors may choose, under exceptional economic circumstances, to limit or refrain from payment of variable remuneration if such a measure is considered reasonable.

For members of the Group Management, pension benefits, including health insurance (Sw: sjukförsäkring), shall be premium defined. Variable cash remuneration shall not qualify for pension benefits. The pension premiums for premium defined pension shall amount to not more than 35 per cent of the annual fixed salary.

Other benefits may include, among other things, life insurance, medical insurance (Sw: sjukvårdsförsäkring), company car and fuel benefit. Such benefits may amount to a maximum of 15 per cent of the annual fixed salary.

Severance payments may be made when the employment is terminated by Thule Group. Members of the Group Management shall have a period of notice of not more than 12 months, in combination with severance pay corresponding to a maximum of 12 months fixed salary. No severance payment will be made when the employment is terminated by the employee.

In the preparation of the Board of Directors’ proposal for these remuneration guidelines, remuneration and employment conditions for employees of the company have been taken into account, in that information on the employees’ total income, the components of the remuneration and increase and growth rate over time has constituted part of the basis of decision in the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors in evaluating the reasonableness of the guidelines and the limitations following from these. The development of the gap between the remuneration to executives and remuneration to other employees will be disclosed in the remuneration report.

The Board of Directors has established a Remuneration Committee. The Committee’s tasks include preparing the Board of Directors’ decision to propose guidelines for executive remuneration. The Board of Directors shall prepare a proposal for new guidelines at least every four years and submit it to the AGM. The guidelines shall be in force until new guidelines are adopted by the general meeting. The Remuneration Committee shall also monitor and evaluate programs for variable remuneration for the Group Management, the application of the guidelines for executive remuneration as well as the current remuneration structures and compensation levels in the company. The members of the Remuneration Committee are independent of the company and its management. The CEO and other members of the Group Management do not participate in the Board of Directors’ processing of and resolutions regarding remuneration-related matters in so far as they are affected by such matters.

The Board of Directors may temporarily resolve to derogate from the guidelines, if in a specific case there is special cause for the derogation and a derogation is necessary to serve the company’s long-term interests and sustainability, or to ensure the company’s financial viability.

Details of the total remuneration to the Group Management, including previous commitments not yet due for payment, is included in the annual report. In addition, the company’s remuneration report contains information on how the company has applied the guidelines for remuneration to the CEO and other senior executives.

Description of significant changes to the guidelines and comments from shareholders
In relation to current guidelines, resolved by the 2023 AGM, the proposal for the 2025 AGM means that the company has increased the maximum annual variable remuneration to the CEO (by 25 percentage points) and the other executives (by 20 percentage points) and introduced a requirement to invest part of the variable remuneration in the Thule share. Furthermore, the detailed weighting of objectives for variable remuneration has been removed to increase flexibility in determining objectives for different senior executives, to ensure a relevant target structure.

The Board of Directors has not received any comments from shareholders on the guidelines for executive remuneration.

RESOLUTION ON AUTHORISATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO RESOLVE ON NEW SHARE ISSUE (item 17)
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorise the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions during the period up until the next AGM, resolve to issue new shares. Such issue may take place with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right and with or without provisions on payment in kind or set-off or other terms. The number of shares to be issued by virtue of the authorisation shall not exceed 10 per cent of the registered share capital at the time of the resolution to issue new shares. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to determine other terms and conditions of the issue, including the issue price. In case of deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right, the subscription price shall be determined in accordance with market conditions.

The purpose of the authorisation is to increase the company’s financial flexibility. If the Board of Directors resolves on an issue with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right, the reason may be to add new capital and/or new owners of strategic importance to the company and/or carry out acquisitions of other companies or businesses or parts thereof.
The Board of Directors, or the person appointed by the Board of Directors, is authorised to make such minor adjustments to the resolution of the general meeting that may be necessary in connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

A valid resolution requires that the proposal is supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

RESOLUTION ON AUTHORISATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO REPURCHASE OWN SHARES (item 18)

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorise the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions during the period up until the next AGM, resolve upon repurchases of own shares in accordance with the following:

  1. Repurchase shall maximum comprise so many shares that the company’s holding does not at any time exceed ten per cent of the total number of shares in the company.
  2. Repurchase may only take place on Nasdaq Stockholm.
  3. Repurchase may only take place at a price within the price range applicable at any given time, i.e. the range between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price.

The purpose of the proposed authorisation to repurchase own shares is to promote efficient capital usage in the company and to provide flexibility as regards the company’s possibilities to distribute capital to its shareholders.

The Board of Directors’ statement under Chapter 19, Section 22 of the Swedish Companies Act will be held available together with the proposal on the company’s website no later than three weeks prior to the AGM.
