In accordance with the Board's proposal, the AGM adopted the Performance-Related Share Programme 2014. The programme encompasses at most 250 000 shares of series B. Employees subscribing to the programme will be able to save an amount equal to a maximum of 5% of their gross salary for the purchase of shares of series B on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm during a 12-month period.

In addition to the regular match in accordance with the above, the employees will also be offered performance matching shares conditional on the earnings of the ÅF group.

The Board was authorised to, until the Annual General Meeting 2015, decide on the acquisition and transfer of at most 250 000 own shares of series B on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm at a price within the registered price interval at any time. The authorisation is required for delivery of the shares to participants in Performance-Related Share Programme 2014 and to secure the ancillary costs. The mandate also extends to the right to acquire and transfer the larger number of shares that results from a share split.

Authorisation for the Board to acquire and transfer own shares

The Board was authorised, for the period until the next annual general meeting, to decide on the acquisition of own shares on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm and acquisition in case of purchase offer(s) to the shareholders.

Purchases may be made only on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm exchange and at a price within the current registered price range on the purchase date. A maximum of 140,000 class B shares may be transferred to participants in the Performance-Related Share Programmes for 2010-2013. In addition, the company shall have the right to transfer on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm exchange before the 2015 Annual General Meeting a maximum of 50,000 shares from its holding in order to cover certain expenditures for the programme, primarily social security contributions.
