Resolution on Nomination Committee (item 16)

The Nomination Committee proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to adopt the following procedure for the Nomination Committee to be applied until the next Annual General Meeting.

Procedure of the Nomination Committee

The work of preparing proposals to Viaplay Group AB's (publ) Annual General Meeting regarding the Board and auditor, in the case that an auditor should be elected, and their remuneration, Chair of the Annual General Meeting and the procedure for the Nomination Committee shall be performed by a Nomination Committee. This procedure shall apply until the next Annual General Meeting.

The Nomination Committee will be formed during September in consultation with the largest shareholders of the company as of the last business day in August. The Nomination Committee shall consist of at least three members. The three largest shareholders will be asked to appoint one member each, and if any of these shareholders decline to appoint a member, their right to appoint a member is transferred to the next largest qualified shareholder until the earlier of (i) at least three members of the Nomination Committee have been appointed, or (ii) a total of ten shareholders have been approached. The Chair of the Board will also be a co-opted member of the Nomination Committee and will act as its convenor. The members of the Nomination Committee will appoint the Committee's Chair at their first meeting.

The name of the members in the Nomination Committee and the shareholders they represent shall normally be made public on the company's website at the latest six months prior to the Annual General Meeting.

The Nomination Committee is appointed for a term of office commencing at the time of its formation and ending when a new Committee is formed. If a member resigns during the Committee term, the Committee may choose to appoint a new member. The shareholder that appointed the resigning member shall in such case be asked to appoint a new member, provided that the shareholder still is one of the largest shareholders in the company. If that shareholder declines participation on the Nomination Committee, the Committee may choose to ask the next largest qualified shareholder to participate (the Chair shall however continue to contact the shareholders that are next in line if required to form a Nomination Committee composed of three members, including the Chair of the Board). In the event of changes to the ownership structure of the company, the Committee may choose to amend its composition in order to ensure that the Committee appropriately reflects the ownership of the company. However, unless there are special circumstances, the composition of the Nomination Committee may remain unchanged following changes in the ownership structure of the company that are either minor or occur less than three months prior to the Annual General Meeting.

The Nomination Committee shall have the right to upon request receive personnel resources such as secretarial services from the company, and to charge the company with costs for recruitment consultants and related travel if deemed necessary.
