Appointment of members etc.
The chairman of the board shall - at the latest at the end of the third quarter of each year - ensure that the company's two largest shareholders, in terms of votes, are offered to nominate a  member of the nomination committee. The reconciliation is based on Euroclear Sweden AB's shareholder list as of the last banking day in August. If one or more shareholders refrain from appointing a member of the nomination committee, the next shareholders in terms of ownership will be contacted with instructions to appoint a member of the nomination committee.

The chairman of the board is a member of the nomination committee and convenes the first meeting of the nomination committee.

The composition of the nomination committee shall be published as soon as they have been appointed.

The chairman of the nomination committee shall, unless the members agree otherwise, be the member who have been nominated by the largest shareholder in terms of votes. However, the chairman of the board shall not be the chairman of the nomination committee.

The nomination committee shall hold its mandate until a new nomination committee is appointed. No fees shall be paid to the members of the nomination committee.

If a shareholder who has appointed a member is no longer one of the two largest shareholders, the shareholder which in terms of ownership is one of the two largest shareholders will be offered to appoint a member. If such shareholder wish to appoint a member, the member that has been appointed by the shareholder no longer one of the two largest shareholders shall leave the nomination committee. If there are no special reasons, however, no changes shall be made to the composition of the nomination committee if only minor changes in the number of votes have taken place or the change occurs later than three months before the annual general meeting. Shareholders who have appointed a member of the nomination committee have the right to dismiss such member and appoint a new member of the nomination committee.

The tasks of the nomination committee
The nomination committee shall prepare and submit the following proposals to the annual general meeting:

  • election of chairman of the annual general meeting;
  • the election of members of the company's board of directors and, where appropriate, any other special committee or committee that the annual general meeting may decide to appoint;
  • the election of an auditor and, where appropriate, alternate auditors;
  • remuneration to members of the board of directors, auditors and, where applicable, to members of any other special committee or committee that the annual general meeting decided to appoint, and
  • any changes in the procedure for the appointment of the nomination committee.
The chairman of the board shall, as appropriate, provide the nomination committee with information on the board's competence profile and working method.

The company shall, at the request of the nomination committee, provide personal resources such as secretarial assistance to facilitate the work of the nomination committee. If necessary, the company shall also be responsible for reasonable costs for external consultants who are deemed necessary by the nomination committee for the nomination committee to fulfil its mandate.

Item 13: Resolution regarding Remuneration guidelines
The board and the remuneration committee proposes that the annual general meeting decide to adopt the following changes to the Remuneration guidelines currently in force. The Guidelines shall remain in effect until any changes are decided by the general meeting.

Proposed changes to the Remuneration guidelines:

Cash based variable remuneration shall be earned and paid out pro rata based on the number of working months and days since first employment date assuming the employee starts with the Company no later than September 30 of the fiscal year preceding payout. If the employee starts with the Company after September 30, any entitlement to cash based variable remuneration will commence from the following fiscal year. An employee who has given notice of resignation at latest on December 31st of the fiscal year preceding payout, will no longer be eligible for the variable remuneration. Any variable cash remuneration shall not exceed 75 percent of the fixed salary (calculated at the date for completed vesting). The conditions of any variable cash remuneration should be designed so that the board of directors may reduce or withhold payment of variable remuneration in the event of exceptional economic circumstances, or if the board of directors finds the payments unreasonable and incompatible with the Company's responsibility to its shareholders. With respect to yearly bonuses, it should be possible to reduce or withhold payments, if the board of directors deems it reasonable because of any other reasons. The Company has no right according to agreements to reclaim variable remuneration paid in cash.

Item 14: Resolution regarding authorisation to the board to issue shares, warrants and/or convertibles
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting of the shareholders resolves to authorise the board of directors during the period up until the next annual general meeting to, on one or more occasions, resolve to issue shares, convertibles and/or warrants with right to convert into and subscribe for shares respectively, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, in the amount not exceeding five percent of the total number of shares in the Company at the time when the authorisation is used the first time, to be paid in cash, in kind and/or by way of set-off. The purpose for the board to resolve on issuances with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights in accordance with the above is primarily for the purpose to raise new capital to increase flexibility of the Company or in connection with acquisitions.

The board of directors, or a person nominated by it, is proposed to be authorised to make such minor adjustments as may be required in connection with registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Majority requirements
A resolution in accordance with item 14 requires support by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes and shares represented at the annual general meeting.

The notice and all the above documents are available at the Company at Gjörwellsgatan 30 in Stockholm and at the Company's website https://corporate.readly.com and will be sent to shareholders who request it and provide their e-mail or postal address.
