Approval of the remuneration report, item 16

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolve to approve the remuneration report by the Board of Directors according to Chapter 8 Section 53a of the Companies Act (2005:551).

Compulsory redemption of shares, item 17

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves on a procedure for the compulsory redemption of shares, in accordance with items 17 a - 17 c below. All resolutions are proposed to be conditional upon each other and are therefore adopted as one single resolution. A valid resolution requires the approval of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the AGM.

Resolution to implement a share split (item 17 a)

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to implement a share split, whereby one share in Sectra is converted into two shares. One of these shares will be a so-called redemption share. The Board of Directors proposes that the record date for the share split shall be October 8, 2024.

Resolution to reduce the share capital through a compulsory redemption of shares
(item 17 b)

The Board of Directors proposes that the share capital is reduced by SEK 19,412,089.50 through the redemption of shares for repayment to the shareholders and for transfer to unrestricted equity to the extent the reduction of the share capital is accomplished by way of the redemption of shares held by the company. The reduction shall be accomplished by way of the redemption of in total 13,103,460 Class A shares and 181,017,435 Class B shares.

The amount payable for each redemption share shall be SEK 1.10. Shares held by the company shall, however, be redeemed without repayment. The maximum redemption amount will thus be SEK 213,532,984.50, provided that the final redemption amount will be less to the extent the company itself owns shares on the record date. The Board of Directors proposes that trading in redemption shares shall take place during the period October 9-18, 2024, and that the record date for the redemption of the redemption shares shall be October 22, 2024. Payment is expected to be made through Euroclear Sweden AB around October 25, 2024.

Resolution to increase the share capital through a bonus issue (item 17 c)

In order to achieve a timely and efficient redemption procedure, without having to obtain permission from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or a court of law, the Board of Directors proposes to restore the company's share capital to its original amount by increasing the company's share capital by SEK 19,412,089.50 through a bonus issue without issuing new shares via a transfer from the company's unrestricted equity to the company's share capital. Upon completion of the bonus issue, the company's share capital will be restored to its original amount.

The Board of Directors' explanatory statement in connection with the proposal to reduce the share capital and the auditors opinions thereon in accordance with Chapter 20, Section 8 of the Companies Act, as well as the Board of Directors' statement in accordance with Chapter 20, Section 13 of the Companies Act and the auditors' statement in accordance with Chapter 20, Section 14 of the Companies Act will be available at the company's offices in Linköping and on the company's website, https://investor.sectra.com/agm2024, at the latest as of August 20, 2024. Shareholders wishing to take part of these documents may notify the company, whereupon the documents will be sent by mail to the address provided.

Long term performance based incentive program 2024 (LTIP 2024), item 18

Background and motive

As an employer, Sectra wants to both retain and recruit competent employees who are expected to contribute to the group's continued good development. The remuneration through the long-term incentive program that is proposed shall promote well thought-out decision-making and desirable results in a manner that is in line with the company's vision and values.

The intention is to increase the participants' affiliation with the company, which is expected to be good for the company in the long term. The Board of Directors wants the employees, through the program, to be encouraged to increase ownership in the company and has therefore proposed a share-based compensation where a condition for it to be paid is that certain criteria must be met. Increasing the employees' share of ownership is expected to lead to an increased level of loyalty towards the company. Participation in the program is voluntary.

The Board of Directors' proposal is set out in items 18 a - 18 c below. In order to obtain a valid decision, it is necessary to obtain the support of shareholders representing at least nine tenths of the votes cast as well as of the shares represented at the AGM. All decisions are proposed to be conditional on each other and are therefore adopted as one decision.

Resolution on terms and instructions for the incentive program (item 18 a)

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves on the introduction of one new long-term incentive program for employees within the Sectra Group in accordance with the following ("LTIP 2024"). LTIP 2024 will comprise a maximum of 1,400 employees in total within the Sectra Group.

It is suggested that a maximum of 1,000,000 shares in the company be issued. These shares will be enough to cover allotment to employees at full performance and to cover the costs of the social security contributions that are expected to arise in connection with the allotment of the so-called Performance Shares (as defined below). To this, an assessment has been made that the average social security contributions and payroll overhead (considering all the countries in which employees whom can receive Performance Shares are located) when allotted are approximately 28 percent of the Performance Shares that may be allotted. This means that 780,000 shares are proposed to be available for allotment to employees and 220,000 are intended to be sold over the stock exchange to cover social security contributions and payroll overhead.

Definitions:

1. The Employment Condition refers to the employment conditions that employees must meet in order to be eligible to participate in the Program, namely either that the person (i) is a permanent or probationary employee of the Sectra Group for at least 50 percent of full time at the time of the annual general meeting on September 10, 2024, provided that the person in question then has commenced his or her employment and has not resigned or been dismissed from his employment or has retired or (ii) is deemed by the Remuneration Committee (or, after authorization by the Remuneration Committee, the Sectra CEO) to fulfill the criteria for a Key Person (see below) and who commences his or her employment after the AGM on September 10, 2024 but not later than the day before (a) the AGM 2026 or (b) a resolution by the general meeting to adopt a new long term performance based incentive program, whichever the first to occur of (a) or (b). Permanent and probationary employees who are on sick leave, on leave of absence or on parental leave are also covered by the program. The Board of Directors has the right to make exceptions from these terms if, according to the Board of Directors' reasonable assessment, there are special reasons.
2. A Key Person is an employee who (i) makes extraordinarily strong contributions to the Sectra Group's development, (ii) is in a senior position, (iii) has particular specialist competence or (iv) in any other way is considered of special importance for the Sectra Group's development.
3. The Qualification Period refers to May 1, 2024 - April 30, 2029. For Key Persons that are employed after the day of the 2024 AGM, the Qualification Period shall, however, be a period that commences on May 1 the financial year after the person's commencement of employment and run until April 30, 2029.
4. A Performance Share refers to a Series B share in the company.
5. A Share Grant refers to a right to receive a Performance Share free of charge, provided that certain conditions are met. If the company carries out a bonus issue, split, aggregation of shares or a similar measure, as a result of which the number of shares in the company changes, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to recalculate the number of Performance Shares that the participants may be entitled to at a conversion of a Share Grant, if the Board of Directors considers such a recalculation to be called for with reference to the purpose of LTIP 2024.

Summary

LTIP 2024 is proposed to include all employees in the Sectra Group whom meet the Employment Condition, meaning that LTIP 2024 is proposed to cover a maximum of 1,400 people. Persons employed after the AGM are not covered by the program, unless the Remuneration Committee (or the Sectra CEO, see above) considers them to be Key Persons and that they therefore should be part of the program.

The participants in LTIP 2024 will be allocated an individually determined number of Share Grants, which will result in a right to receive Performance Shares free of charge provided that certain conditions are fulfilled.

Allocation

LTIP 2024 shall comprise a maximum of 780,000 shares for allocation to employees, which means that a maximum of the corresponding number of Share Grants can be allotted.

Each employee shall be offered 150 Share Grants.

In addition, according to the Board of Directors' instructions, Key Persons can be allocated Share Grants up to a total number of not more than 15,000 Share Grants per person.

Since the Qualification Period for Key Persons that have been employed after the day of the 2024 AGM will be shorter than for persons that were employed on the day of the 2024 AGM, such Key Person's allocation shall bear the same proportion to the allocation of a Key Person that was employed on the day of the 2024 AGM as such Key Person's Qualification Period bears to the standard Qualification Period, i e May 1, 2024 - April 30, 2029. Example: If a Key Person commences his or her employment on February 1, 2025, such person's Qualification Period will be May 1, 2025 - April 30, 2029, i e four financial years instead of five, which means that the Key Person's allocation shall be four fifths (4/5) of the allocation that an equivalent key person would have received if he or she had been employed on the day for the 2024 AGM.

The Board of Directors shall, no later than November 15, 2024, ensure that the terms and distribution of Share Grants are made accessible for eligible employees. Employees who wish to participate in the Program must, no later than December 1, 2024, give notice whether they wish to participate.

Terms

Share Grants shall be allotted free of charge, after the participant has entered into an agreement with Sectra relating to the allotment of Share Grants and in which the terms of participation are described in more detail. Allotment shall be made no later than December 31, 2024.

Share Grants may not be transferred, pledged or otherwise transferred to others, with the exception of the participant's estate.

A participant's right to receive Performance Shares is vested during the Qualification Period, provide that the Employment Condition and the Performance Conditions have been fulfilled as detailed below.

The Employment Condition

The participant must fulfill the Employment Condition during the entire Qualification Period. If the participant leaves the employment during a financial year, the participant is not considered to have been employed at all during such financial year, but still during previous financial years during the Qualification Period. The detailed conditions for participants' entitlement to receive Performance Shares, even if they are leaving their employment, shall be determined by the Board of Directors, which shall be entitled to authorize the Sectra CEO to make such determination.

The Performance Conditions

In order to be able to exercise a Share Grant and thereby obtain a Performance Share, the following performance conditions ("Performance Conditions") must be met:

A. For employees in companies other than Sectra Communications AB and its subsidiaries (the Sectra Communications Group), Sectra must for each financial year during the Qualification Period have achieved

(1) first place in "Best in KLAS" (in any category in the employee's region, if that region is not the United States, and in any category except for PACS/Radiology for large hospitals in the United States, if the region is the United States) and

(2) first place in "Best in KLAS" for PACS / Radiology for large hospitals in the United States.

The term region shall mean the region to which the person belong according KLAS' division of regions for the awards as of the date on which KLAS announces the award. For employees within central functions in Sweden (i e Sectra AB, Sectra Imaging IT Solutions AB, Sectra Education AB and Sectra Orthopaedics AB) and employees outside the regions applied by KLAS, Sectra shall, as regards performance criteria (1), for each financial year during the Qualification Period have achieved at least two first places in "Best in KLAS" in any category in any of the regions, except for PACS/Radiology for large hospitals in the United States. If an employee changes his or her region during a financial year, such person shall for that entire financial year be considered as belonging to the region in which the person was employed at the commencement of the financial year.

If for a particular financial year KLAS would not grant these awards or the conditions for participating in KLAS' evaluations would change, Sectra's Board of Directors may determine that a different customer satisfaction criteria should be used for that particular year.

Best in KLAS means that Best in KLAS which is granted a particular financial year and is determinative for the fulfillment of the performance criteria for the financial year during which the award is announced. Example: if Sectra achieves Best in KLAS in June 2025 that award is relevant for the fulfillment of the performance criteria for the financial year 2025/2026.

B. For employees in the Sectra Communications Group, for each financial year during the Qualification Period, the Sectra Communications Group must have achieved

(1) an operating margin (EBIT margin) of at least (a) 15 percent, as regards the financial year 2024/2025, (b) 17 percent, as regards the financial year 2025/2026, (c) 19 percent, as regards the financial year 2026/2027 and (d) 20 percent, as regards the subsequent financial years and

(2) a turnover growth of at least 10 percent compared to the previous financial year. In case of an acquisition or a transfer of a business during a particular financial year, the Sectra's Board of Directors shall determine what impact it will have on the performance criteria.

C. In the event of transitions between the Sectra Communications Group and other companies within the Sectra Group, the criteria for the program you leave will apply up to and including the financial year during which the transition occurs and the program to which you transition shall be applied from the first full financial year after the transition has taken place.

For each financial year during the Qualification Period (with the financial year 2024/2025 being the first) that one of the above-mentioned Performance Conditions has not been met, one tenth of the participant's all Share Grants shall lapse.

The Board of Directors may, with respect to a particular financial year, make an exception from the requirement that a Performance Criteria must be fulfilled in order for Share Rights not to lapse, if there are extraordinary reasons for such an exception.

When allocating Performance Shares, the total sum of the number of Share Grants is rounded down to the nearest whole number. Performance Shares shall be allotted by August 31, 2029, at the latest.

Taxation

LTIP 2024 has been designed in such way that participants are normally taxed for the benefit of receiving shares only the income year in which the Performance Shares are received, however, the tax rules may be different in some countries where Share Grants are granted. The taxable benefit value that arises is normally calculated as the share's market value when it is received. The benefit value is normally taxed for the participants as income from employment, which means that social security contributions will be levied on the employer.

Preparation of the proposal

LTIP 2024 has been prepared by the company's Board of Directors in consultation with external advisors and has been processed by the Board of Directors at a meeting on July 5, 2024.

Design and handling

The Board of Directors shall be responsible for the detailed design and handling of LTIP 2024, within the framework of the specified terms and instructions, including provisions for recalculation in the event of changes in Sectra's capital structure such as intermediate bonus issue, split, aggregation of shares or a similar measure, as a result of which the number of shares in the company changes. In connection with this, the Board of Directors shall have the right to make adjustments to comply with special foreign rules or market conditions. If there are significant changes in the Sectra Group or its surroundings, which would mean that decided conditions for the allocation and vesting of Share Grants according to LTIP 2024 are no longer appropriate, the Board of Directors shall have the right to make other adjustments. Before the Board of Directors decides on vesting and payment in accordance with the terms of the Share Grants, the Board of Directors shall determine whether the outcome from LTIP 2024 is reasonable. This determination shall be performed in relation to the company's financial results and position, the conditions on the stock market and otherwise. If the Board of Directors, in its determination, concludes that the outcome is not reasonable, the Board of Directors shall be able to reduce the number of Class B shares to be allotted.

Receipt of Performance Shares in accordance with LTIP 2024 and hedging measures

In order to be able to implement LTIP 2024 in a cost-effective and flexible manner, the Board of Directors has considered different methods for transferring Class B shares to participants who have been allocated Share Grants. The Board of Directors has found the most cost-effective alternative to be, and therefore proposes that the annual general meeting resolves

A. to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on a directed issue of a maximum of 1,000,000 C shares to the bank that the company engages, in order to facilitate the delivery of Performance Shares and financing of costs for social security contributions under LTIP 2024 (see paragraph 18 (b) below), and

B. to authorize the Board of Directors to resolve on the repurchase of all issued C shares in accordance with below (see item 18 (b) below).
 

Following the conversion of the repurchased C shares into B shares, the B shares will be transferred after the expiry of the Qualification Period partly free of charge to participants in LTIP 2024 and partly through the stock exchange to finance the costs of social security contributions related to LTIP 2024. For this purpose, the Board of Directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on

C. the transfer of a maximum of 780,000 own B shares to participants in accordance with LTIP 2024 and a maximum of 220,000 B shares on the stock exchange to finance costs for social security contributions due to LTIP 2024 (see item 18 (c) below).

Costs and impact on important key ratios

Assuming a share price of SEK 235 upon allotment of the Share Grants, the cost, including estimated costs for social security contributions, is estimated to amount to approximately SEK 211.5 million for the entire period of five years. The finally reported cost depends on the degree to which performance and employment conditions are met and on the value development of Sectra's share price. The costs of administering the program will be minimized and taken on an ongoing basis but is estimated to a maximum of 5 percent of the total scope of the program.

LTIP 2024 will be reported in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payments (Sw: Aktierelaterade ersättningar) and the cost of social security contributions will be reported in accordance with UFR 7 IFRS 2 and social security contributions for listed companies (Sw: IFRS 2 och sociala avgifter för noterade företag). This means that the fair value of the Share Grants when allocating the Share Grants will be recognised as an employee cost and accrue over the vesting period, based on ongoing assessments and finally on the final outcome of the performance and employment conditions. The cost of social security contributions is accrued in a corresponding manner but on an ongoing basis and finally upon vesting based on the current share price.

Dilution of existing shares and votes

With a maximum allotment of Performance Shares, up to 780,000 Class B shares may be allotted to participants in accordance with LTIP 2024 and 220,000 Class B shares may be used to finance the cost of social security contributions as a result of LTIP 2024, which means that LTIP 2024 will result in a maximum dilution of 0.5 percent. If added to LTIP 2021 and LTIP 2022 (including the extension of the ability to allocate share grants decided by the 2023 AGM) this will result in a total a maximum dilution of 1.3 percent.

Resolution on authorizing the Board of Directors to resolve upon (i) a new issue of shares of series C and (ii) the repurchase of series C shares (item 18 b)

Authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve upon the issue of C shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to increase the company's share capital by a maximum of SEK 200,000 through the issue of a maximum of SEK 1,000,000 C shares, on one or more occasions, up until the AGM 2025. The new shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, be subscribed for by such bank with which the company signs a cooperation agreement to facilitate the delivery of Performance Shares and financing of social security costs under the long-term incentive programs LTIP 2024 at a subscription price corresponding to the quota value. Payment shall be made in cash. The purpose of the authorization and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights in carrying out the issue is to ensure delivery of shares to participants in accordance with LTIP 2024 and to cover any social security costs due to LTIP 2024.

Authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve upon repurchase of own C shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions, resolve upon the repurchase of class C shares up until the AGM 2025. Repurchases may only take place through an acquisition offer addressed to all holders of class C shares and shall include all outstanding class C shares. Acquisitions must be made at a price corresponding to the share's quota value. Payment for acquired C shares must be made in cash. The purpose of the proposed repurchase authorization is to ensure delivery of Performance Shares in accordance with the long-term performance-based incentive programs LTIP 2024 and to cover any social security costs due to LTIP 2024.

Resolution on the acquisition of class C shares may only be made provided that the company's holding of its own shares at any given time does not exceed 10 percent of all shares in the company (including such shares that are acquired in accordance with item 20 below).

Resolution on transfer of series B shares (paragraph 18 c)

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves that (after conversion from C shares) a maximum of 780,000 class B shares may be transferred to participants in accordance with the terms of LTIP 2024, and that a maximum of 220,000 class B shares may be transferred on Nasdaq Stockholm, including by way of a financial intermediary, at a price within the price range registered at any given time, to finance social security costs in accordance with the terms of LTIP 2024.

The subscription price of the new shares shall be determined on the basis of the prevailing market price of the Class B shares at the time of the issue. The purpose of the authorization is to facilitate the use of newly issued shares in connection with the implementation of or for the financing of acquisitions of companies or businesses or parts thereof and in connection with market investments.

Acquisitions of shares shall be made either on Nasdaq Stockholm at a purchase price within the range of share prices registered at any given time for the Class B shares, meaning the spread between the maximum buying rate and the minimum selling rate, or by way of an offer to all shareholders, whereby the purchase shall be made at a price which at the time of the decision corresponds at a minimum to the prevailing market price for the Class B shares and at a maximum to 150 percent of the prevailing market price for the Class B shares. The same price shall apply for Class A shares and Class B shares.

The Board of Directors also proposes that the Board of Directors shall be authorized to resolve, on one or several occasions during the period until the next AGM, to dispose all shares held by the company, via Nasdaq Stockholm or in connection with the acquisition of companies or businesses or parts thereof, in connection with market investments, for hedging costs that may arise relating to the company's incentive programs and for a continuous adaptation of the company's capital structure and thereby contributing to increased shareholders' value. The shareholders shall have a preferential right to acquire the shares in accordance with the provisions in the articles of association regarding the preferential right to subscribe for new shares, provided that the board of directors shall be entitled to deviate from the preferential right if the shares are paid for by way of set-off or if the purpose with the disposal is to secure the costs that arise as a result of the company's incentive program. A disposal of shares via Nasdaq Stockholm may only be made at a price within the range of share prices registered at any given time.
