The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors’ proposal regarding guidelines for remuneration and other employment terms for the company’s senior managers as follows.

The company applies market competitive salaries and compensations (on the geographic market the individual lives or works) including both a fixed and a variable component which are compared to an external database with employee compensation data. Compensation to the CEO and other senior managers are comprised of base salary, variable compensation, warrants, in some cases employee stock options and pension. Senior management includes those executives who, including the CEO, form the company’s Group Management Team. The variable compensation is based on pre-defined targets, and may for instance be a combination of revenue, income, cash flow and activity targets. The targets will be set annually by the board compensation committee with the intention that they shall be in line with the company’s strategy and financial goals.
For the CEO the variable compensation is capped at 100% of the base salary and for other senior managers at between 0% and 60% of the base salary.
The company makes provisions in its accounts for the total cost for all variable compensations, including pay-roll costs.
Pension liability
The pension obligation to senior managers amount to between 10% and 30% of the annual base salary. All pension plans are based on the fixed contribution principle.
Redundancy payment

The Board of Directors is entitled to make exception to these guidelines when there are special circumstances.
