Item 13 –Resolution regarding instructions for the Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee proposes the following instructions for the Nomination Committee.

The Nomination Committee shall consist of four members. The chairman of the Board of Directors shall contact the three largest shareholders of the company, in terms of voting capital, pursuant to Euroclear Sweden AB’s print out of the share register on 31 August. Each of the three largest shareholders shall be afforded the opportunity, within a reasonable time, to appoint a member who, together with the chairman of the Board of Directors shall constitute the Nomination Committee. In the event any of them fails to exercise the right to appoint a member, such right to appoint such member shall pass to the next largest shareholder in terms of voting power who has not already appointed a member of the Nomination Committee. The chairman of the Board of Directors may not also serve at the same time as a shareholder-appointed member. The chairman of the Nomination Committee shall be the member who represents the largest shareholder in terms of voting power, unless otherwise unanimously agreed by the members.

The names of the members of the Nomination Committee shall be published as soon as the Nomination Committee has been appointed, however not later than six months prior to the next Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee is appointed for a term commencing at the time its composition is published until a new Nomination Committee has been appointed.

In the event of any change in the ownership structure of the company after 31 August but before 12 weeks prior to the next Annual General Meeting, and provided a shareholder after this change becomes one of the three largest shareholders of the company in terms of voting capital submits a request to the chairman of the Nomination Committee to be included in the Nomination Committee, such shareholder shall be entitled, in the discretion of the Nomination Committee, either to appoint an additional member to the Nomination Committee or a member shall replace the member appointed by the shareholder with less voting power after the change in ownership.

In the event a member appointed by a shareholder resigns from the Nomination Committee during his/her term of office or where such member is prevented from performing his/her duties, the Nomination Committee shall encourage the shareholder who appointed a member to appoint a new member within a reasonable time. In the event the shareholder fails to exercise his/her right to appoint a new member, the right to appoint such member shall pass to the next largest shareholder in terms of voting capital who has not already appointed a member of the Nomination Committee or who has waived his/her right to appoint a member to the Nomination Committee. Changes in the composition of the Nomination Committee shall be published immediately.

The Nomination Committee shall perform its duties in accordance with these instructions and applicable rules. The duties include, among other things, submitting proposals for:
• a chairman of the annual general meeting;
• a chairman and other members of the Board of Directors;
• fees for the Board of Directors, with a breakdown between the chairman and other members of the Board of Directors, and any compensation for committee work;
• where applicable, election of an auditor;
• fees for the auditor; and
• any changes in these instructions for the Nomination Committee to the extent deemed necessary.

No fee shall be payable to the members of the Nomination Committee. However, the company shall bear any reasonable costs reasonably associated with the work performed by the Nomination Committee.

These instructions for the composition of the Nomination Committee and its work shall apply until otherwise resolved by a shareholder meeting.

Item 14 – Resolution regarding guidelines for compensation to senior management

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting adopt the following guidelines for compensation and other employment terms and conditions for senior management.

Senior management means the CEO and other senior management personnel of Bactiguard, and members of the Board of Directors to the extent they receive compensation outside of their board duties. Bactiguard shall apply the compensation levels and terms and conditions which are necessary in order to recruit and retain senior management personnel with the expertise and experience required in order to achieve the company’s operating goals. The total compensation paid to senior management shall be competitive, reasonable and suited for its purpose.

Senior management personnel shall be offered a fixed salary on market terms, which shall be determined based on the individual’s area of responsibility and experience. A review of the fixed salary shall be carried out on an annual basis for each calendar year.

Senior management personnel may, from time to time, be offered variable compensation on market terms. Such variable compensation must be designed with the purpose of promoting Bactiguard’s long-term growth and linked to predetermined and measurable criteria. Any variable compensation must be limited to 50% of the fixed annual salary. When structuring variable compensation for senior management which is to be paid in cash, the Board of Directors shall consider imposing conditions such as (i) making payment of a certain portion of such compensation conditional on the performance on which such earnings are based proving to be sustainable over time; and (ii) providing the company with an opportunity to claim repayment of such compensation paid on the basis of information which subsequently proves to be obviously incorrect.

Senior management personnel shall be entitled to pension solutions on market terms. Fee-based pension benefits are preferable.

Other benefits may consist of a company car, healthcare contributions and other customary benefits. Other benefits shall not constitute a significant part of the total compensation.

Upon notice of termination by the company of the employment of a senior management employee, the notice of termination period shall not be longer than six months. Severance compensation may be paid in an amount not greater than one year’s fixed salary.

Provided the Board of Directors deems such appropriate, the company’s senior management shall also be offered an opportunity to participate in long-term stock or stock price-based incentive programs designed to ensure a long-term commitment to the company’s growth. Decisions regarding any stock and stock price-related incentive programs shall be adopted by the shareholder meeting. On an annual basis, the Board of Directors shall evaluate whether a long-term incentive program shall be proposed to the shareholder meeting and, if so, whether the proposed long-term incentive program shall include a transfer of shares in the company.

These guidelines shall apply to agreements entered into after the shareholder meeting and, in the event changes are made in existing agreements, after such time. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to deviate from the above-stated guidelines where it deems that special cause exists to do so in an individual case.
