Proposal for resolution regarding guidelines for remuneration and other terms of employment for the group management (item 13)

The Board of Directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to approve the Board of Directors' proposal regarding guidelines for remuneration and other terms of employment for senior executives as set forth below.

Senior executives' terms and remuneration, and general remuneration principles

The company offers salaries and remuneration in line with market practice, as verified by an external compensation database, based on a fixed and a variable component. Remuneration to the CEO and other senior executives consists of basic salary, variable remuneration and pension benefits. "Senior executives" refers to those people, including the CEO, who constitute executive management. The division between fixed and variable remuneration is in proportion to the manager's responsibility and authority. The variable remuneration is based on a combination of revenue, results and activity targets.

For the CEO, annual variable remuneration is capped at 100 per cent, and for the Global Head of Sales at 220 per cent, of basic salary. For other senior executives, variable remuneration is capped at 60 per cent of basic salary. For the CEO and other senior executives 70 per cent of the variable remuneration is based on measurable financial targets. For the Global Head of Sales, the compensation model is wholly based on the company's revenues.

For certain senior executives, half of the outcome of variable remuneration is put in escrow and paid out in the fourth year following the vesting period. At the time of payment, a multiplier will be applied to the amount held in escrow to reflect share price performance during these three years. The multiplier is based on the ratio of the average share price for two eight-week periods, where the first period commences on the publication date of Net Insight's Year-end Report in the year following the first year of the vesting period, and the second period commences on the publication date of the Year-end Report in the year when payment shall occur (i.e. three years between the periods). The average share price is the average of the daily closing share prices of each eight-week period. The multiplier is limited to a maximum value of 5 and minimum value of 0.5.

Where a Board member serves the company or another group company in addition to work on the Board, a consultancy fee and/or other remuneration may be payable.

A large portion of the staff is eligible for some form of variable remuneration. All variable remuneration and applicable social security contributions are provisioned in the accounts.

From time to time, the Board of Directors may propose share-based long-term incentive programs, which are then considered by shareholders' meetings as a separate item.

Pension liability

The company's pension liability to the CEO amounts to 30 per cent of basic annual salary, excluding variable components. Senior executives have defined contribution pension provisions, pursuant to the company's policy, legislation and contracts.

Redundancy payments

The company and the CEO have a reciprocal notice period of six months. Upon termination by the company, a redundancy payment corresponding to 12 months' salary becomes due. Any salary or other remuneration that the CEO receives from employment or other business the CEO conducts during the notice period of the following 12-month period should be deducted from redundancy payments. The company and other senior executives have reciprocal notice periods of 3-6 months.

The Board of Directors is entitled to deviate from these guidelines in special circumstances.

Proposal for resolution on the issue of synthetic options to group management and other key employees within the Net Insight group (item 14)

The Board of Directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to introduce a cash-based option programme related to Net Insight's share price development, mainly in line with the synthetic option programme adopted by the annual general meetings in 2017, 2016 and 2015. It is proposed that the programme is carried out through the issue of synthetic options ("Option Programme 2018").

The Board of Directors believes that a programme that in the long term gives employees within the group an opportunity to share in the growth in value of the company will maintain confidence in Net Insight and increase the value of its shares. Option Programme 2018 is expected to lead to greater involvement and increased motivation for the participants in the programme and result in those included in the programme having stronger ties to Net Insight. In addition, Option Programme 2018 is expected to align the interests of the participants with the interests of the shareholders. Option Programme 2018 is intended to include those who participated in Option Programme 2015, which expires in 2018, and newly employed members of the executive management and other key employees (the "Participants"). Net Insight's Board of Directors is of the opinion that Option Programme 2018 will benefit Net Insight's shareholders and that it will contribute to opportunities to recruit and retain competent employees.

In order to be able to carry out Option Programme 2018, the Board of Directors proposes that the annual general meeting decides on the main terms and conditions for the issue to the Participants of synthetic options related to Net Insight's share price during a period of three (3) years.

The proposal gives the Participants the right to acquire the synthetic options at market price. During the term of Option Programme 2018 there will be two payments made of equal installments to the Participants following the second and the third year of the term and these payments will in total correspond half of the price paid for the options. As the acquisitions will be made at market price, Net Insight will have no initial cost and the future cost for the company will depend on the development of Net Insight's share price. The payment per synthetic option cannot exceed three times the share price at the time of the start of the programme.

The total value of the synthetic options at the maturity of Option Programme 2018, adjusted for the Participants' initial investment, paid strike price and the abovementioned installments, including social security contributions, will be Net Insight's cost for Option Programme 2018.

The proposal has been prepared together with external advisers and has been examined by the Reumuneration Committee and the Board of Directors. The proposal was adopted by the Board of Directors on March 19, 2018.

Invitation for acquisition of and entering into an agreement regarding synthetic options shall be resolved by the Board of Directors according to the following terms and conditions:

1. The opportunity to acquire synthetic options shall include the CEO, with a maximum of 400,000 synthetic options, members of group management, with a maximum of 150,000 synthetic options per person (or the higher number decided by the remuneration committee in the event that full subscription does not occur), and other key employees with a maximum of 75,000 synthetic options per person (or the higher number decided by the remuneration committee in the event that full subscription does not occur). Option Programme 2018 will consist of approximately twenty (20) persons. Members of Net Insight's Board of Directors are not included in the invitation.
2. A maximum total of 2,425,000 synthetic options shall be issued in Option Programme 2018.
3. Participants shall no later than June 20, 2018, or such other date as decided by the Board of Directors, provide notification of how many synthetic options he or she wishes to acquire.
4. The Participants' acquisitions of synthetic options shall be made at market price. The price will be calculated by an independent valuation institute applying a standard valuation model (Black & Scholes).
5. An amount corresponding to half the premium on the options will be repaid to Participants, net of tax, by way of two identical payments after the second and third year of the term for Option Programme 2018, subject to that the Participant are still employed within the Net Insight Group.
6. The issue of synthetic options shall take place by an agreement being concluded between Net Insight and the Participants containing the following terms and conditions.
   • One synthetic option shall give the Participant the right to receive from Net Insight a cash amount corresponding to an average price of the Net Insight Class B share during a certain period before the request for exercise, after deducting the strike price set out below, however, with the limitation that such amount may not exceed three times the share price for the Net Insight Class B share at the time of the start of Option Programme 2018,
   • The strike price shall be 120 per cent of the share price for the Net Insight Class B share at the time of the start of Option Programme 2018,
   • The term of the option shall be three (3) years,
   • The option shall be freely transferable, but subject to a pre-emptive right for Net Insight to acquire the option,
   • The participants are encouraged to re-invest the amount in the company's share.
      
7. The Board of Directors shall be responsible for the detailed design and management of Option Programme 2018 within the framework of the main terms and guidelines set out above.
8. The company's maximum total cost for Option Programme 2018 is estimated to amount to approximately MSEK 37. The costs have been estimated based on a share price of SEK 4.86 at the time of the start of the programme and that full allocation and maximum outcome will apply.

The annual general meeting's resolution according to the above shall be made taking into account the majority rules stipulated in Chapter 7, Section 40 of the Swedish Companies Act, which means that the resolution must be supported by shareholders representing more than half of the number of votes represented at the meeting.

Proposal for resolution regarding authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve to repurchase and transfer of own shares (item 15)

The Board of Directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to resolve to repurchase, on one or several occasions until the next annual general meeting, as many own shares as may be purchased without the company's holding at any time exceeding 2 per cent of the total number of shares in the company. The shares shall be purchased on Nasdaq Stockholm and only at a price per share within the price range applicable, i.e. the range between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price.

The Board of Directors also proposes that the annual general meeting authorises the Board of Directors to resolve, on one or several occasions until the next annual general meeting, to transfer (sell) own shares. Transfers may be carried out on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price within the price range applicable, i.e. the range between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price. Transfers may also be made in other ways, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, against cash payment or against payment through set-off or in kind, or otherwise on special conditions. Upon such transfers, the price shall be established so that it is not below market terms. However, a discount to the stock market price may apply, in line with market practice. Transfers of own shares may be made of up to such number of shares as is held by the Company at the time of the Board of Directors's resolution regarding the transfer.

The purpose of the authorisation to repurchase own shares is to promote efficient capital usage in the company, to provide flexibility as regards the company's possibilities to distribute capital to its shareholders and to provide hedging for the company's option programme. The purpose of the authorization to transfer own shares is to enable the Board of Directors to make corporate acquisitions, product acquisitions or enter into collaboration agreements, or to raise working capital or broaden the shareholder base or for use in the context of the company's incentive plans or to provide hedging for the company's option programme.

The annual general meeting's resolution according to the above shall be made taking into account the majority rules stipulated in Chapter 19, Sections 18 and 33 of the Swedish Companies Act, which means that the resolution must be supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

Proposal for resolution on amendment of the articles of association (item 16)

The Board of Directors proposes that Section 2 of the articles of association is amended so the Board's registered office will be Solna, Sweden, replacing the reference to the current registered office, and that Section 12 is updated so it references to the new name of the act, since the act has changed name.

The complete articles of association that is proposed to be adopted by the general meeting is available at the company's website.
