Principles for salary and other forms of remuneration for senior executives of the company, item 17

The Board of Directors proposes that the 2020 AGM resolve on the following guidelines for salary and other forms of remuneration for senior executives at Sectra. Compared with the guidelines adopted by the 2019 AGM, these guidelines were developed and updated to meet the new requirements following from Chapter 8, Sections 51-53 of the Companies Act (2005:551).

Scope and applicability of the guidelines

These guidelines cover the President and CEO, other members of Group Management and, where applicable, remuneration to Board members for work performed above and beyond their commission. The guidelines will be applied to contractual remuneration, and changes made to remuneration already contracted, after the guidelines are adopted by the 2020 AGM. 

The guidelines do not cover remuneration that has been resolved on by the General Meeting of Shareholders. Board fees will not be paid to executives employed in the Group.

The guidelines' promotion of the company's business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability

Briefly, Sectra's business strategy entails developing and selling products and services for medical IT and cybersecurity. Helping our customers improve the efficiency and quality of patient care and increase cybersecurity in critical functions of society is the company's most significant contribution to a more sustainable society. For more information about the company's business strategy, refer to Sectra's latest Annual Report available at the company's website, sectra.com.

Successfully implementing the company's business strategy and looking after the company's long-term interests including sustainability assumes that the company can recruit and retain qualified employees. This requires the company to offer competitive remuneration. These guidelines make it possible to offer senior executives competitive total remuneration. 

Long-term share-based incentive programs have been introduced at the company in certain years. These programs are adopted, where necessary, by the General Meeting of Shareholders and are thus not covered by these guidelines.

Forms of remuneration, etc.

The terms and conditions of remuneration must emphasize remuneration after performance, and vary in relation to the individual's performance and the Group's earnings. Total remuneration shall be on market terms and can consist of the following components: fixed cash salary, variable cash remuneration, pension benefits and other benefits.

Fixed remuneration 
Fixed remuneration consists of a basic annual salary (the "Basic Salary"), which is to be competitive in the relevant market and reflect the responsibilities that the job entails. Salary levels will be reviewed once a year to ensure continued competitiveness and to reward individual performances. 

Variable remuneration
Variable cash remuneration covered by these guidelines must be intended to promote the company's business strategy and long-term interests, including sustainability.

Variable cash remuneration will be based on predetermined and measurable criteria. These criteria must be based on (i) financial earnings (profit, financial efficiency and sales) or alternately operational goals that over the long term are intended to lead to solid financial results; (ii) share-related goals and (iii) non-financial goals such as sustainability, customer satisfaction, quality and corporate culture. They could also consist of individually adapted quantitative or qualitative goals.
Meeting the criteria for disbursement of variable cash remuneration should be measurable over a period of one or more years. Variable cash remuneration can total a maximum of 50% of the Basic Salary as regards financial, operative, non-financial and individually adapted goals and a maximum of 25% as regards share-related goals during the relevant measurement period. 

When the measurement period for meeting the criteria for disbursement of variable cash remuneration has concluded, the extent to which the criteria were met must be determined. The Remuneration Committee is responsible for the assessment regarding variable cash remuneration to the CEO. As regards variable cash remuneration to other executives, the CEO is responsible for the assessment. As regards financial goals, the assessment must be based on the latest financial information released by the company.

In addition to variable remuneration that executives may receive in accordance with these guidelines, the Board of Directors may decide that such executives could be covered by programs for variable remuneration that also cover personnel categories other than senior executives such as all employees in the Group or in a particular business area. Such programs must entitle all employees (regardless of position) to the possibility of the same nominal remuneration.
The Board of Directors must also have the legal or contractual possibility - with the ensuing limitations - of demanding the return in full of erroneously disbursed variable remuneration (clawback). Such request for repayment must, where applicable, be made within five years of the disbursement.

Pension and other benefits
For the CEO and other executives covered by these guidelines, retirement and survivor benefits including health insurance must be provided and are to be defined-contribution. Variable cash remuneration must not be pensionable. Pension premiums must total a maximum of 30% of the Basic Salary.

The executive must be provided with the possibility of exchanging a portion of the Basic Salary with other benefits such as life insurance, healthcare insurance and a company car, provided that it is cost-neutral for the company.
As regards terms of employment subject to laws other than Swedish, the company may make the proper adjustments concerning pension and other benefits in order to comply with compulsory regulations or local practice, in which case the overall goals of these guidelines must be met to the greatest possible extent.

Period of notice

The period of notice must be linked to the age of the executive, in accordance with the following policies. 

Upon termination by the company or the executive, the period of notice must be at most (i) 6 months, if at the time of termination the executive is age 40 or younger; (ii) 12 months, if at the time of termination the executive is age 41-50; (iii) 18 months, if at the time of termination the executive is age 51-60; and (iv) 24 months, if at the time of termination the executive is age 61 or older. From the date the executive turns 67, however, the period of notice must be at most 6 months.

Salary and conditions of employment for employees

In preparing the Board's proposal for these remuneration guidelines, salary and conditions of employment for the company's employees were taken into account through information on total employee remuneration, the components of remuneration and the increase (and rate of increase) of the remuneration forming a part of the basis for decision by the Board and the Remuneration Committee in assessing the reasonableness of the guidelines and the ensuing limitations.

The decision-making process for adopting, reviewing and implementing the guidelines

The Board of Directors has set up a Remuneration Committee, the tasks of which include preparing the Board's decisions on proposals for guidelines on remuneration to senior executives. The Board of Directors will draw up proposals for new guidelines at least once every four years, and present the proposal for resolution by the AGM. The guidelines will be in force until new guidelines are adopted by the General Meeting of Shareholders. 

Remuneration to the CEO and, where applicable, Board members (above and beyond ordinary remuneration resolved on by shareholders' meetings) is decided by the Board based on the recommendations of the Remuneration Committee. Remuneration to other executives is determined by the CEO. The Remuneration Committee must also monitor and evaluate programs for variable remuneration to Group Management, the application of guidelines for remuneration to senior executives and applicable remuneration structures and remuneration levels in the company. The members of the Remuneration Committee are independent in relation to the company and Group Management. To the extent they are affected by such issues, neither the CEO nor other members of Group Management are present when the Board discusses and decides on issues related to remuneration.

Departures from the guidelines

The Board of Directors may decide to temporarily depart from the guidelines in full or in part if, in an individual case, there are particular reasons to do so and a departure is necessary to safeguard the company's long-term interests including its sustainability, or to ensure the company's financial strength. As indicated above, the tasks of the Remuneration Committee include preparing Board decisions on remuneration issues, which includes decisions on departures from the guidelines.

Share split and automatic redemption of shares, item 18

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves on a procedure for the automatic redemption of shares, in accordance with items 18 a - 18 c below. All resolutions are proposed to be conditional upon each other and adopted as one single resolution. A valid resolution requires the approval of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the AGM.

Resolution to implement a share split (item 18 a)

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to implement a share split, whereby one share in Sectra is converted into two shares. One of these shares will be a so-called redemption share. The Board of Directors proposes that the record date for the share split shall be October 6, 2020.

Resolution to reduce the share capital through an automatic redemption of shares (item 18 b)

The Board of Directors proposes that the share capital is reduced by SEK 19,253,010 through the redemption of 2,620,692 Class A shares and 35,885,328 Class B shares for repayment to the shareholders. 

The shares to be redeemed are those shares which are referred to as redemption shares after shares have been split as described above. The amount payable for each redemption share shall be SEK 4.50. The maximum redemption amount will thus be SEK 173,277,090. The Board of Directors proposes that trading in redemption shares shall take place during the period October 7-16, 2020, and that the record date for the redemption of the redemption shares shall be October 20, 2020. Payment is expected to be made through Euroclear Sweden AB around October 23, 2020.

Resolution to increase the share capital through a bonus issue (item 18 c)

In order to achieve a timely and efficient redemption procedure, without having to obtain permission from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or a court of law, the Board of Directors proposes to restore the company's share capital to its original amount by increasing the company's share capital by SEK 19,253,010 through a bonus issue without issuing new shares via a transfer from the company's unrestricted equity to the company's share capital. Upon completion of the bonus issue, the company's share capital will be restored to its original amount.

The Board of Directors' explanatory statement in connection with the proposal to reduce the share capital and the auditors opinions thereon in accordance with Chapter 20, Section 8 of the Companies Act, as well as the Board of Directors' statement in accordance with Chapter 20, Section 13 of the Companies Act and the auditors' statement in accordance with Chapter 20, Section 14 of the Companies Act will be available at the company's offices in Linköping and on the company's website, investor.sectra.com/agm2020, at the latest as of August 18, 2020. Shareholders wishing to take part of these documents may notify the company, whereupon the documents will be sent by mail to the address provided.

Resolution regarding authorization for the Board of Directors to issue new shares, item 19

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to issue, on one or several occasions, during the period until the next AGM, not more than 3,700,000 Class B shares for payment in cash, payment by set-off of claims or payment in kind, and that for issues where payment is made by set-off of claims, the Board of Directors shall be able to disregard the shareholders' preferential rights. The subscription price of the new shares shall be determined on the basis of the prevailing market price of the Class B shares at the time of the issue. The purpose of the authorization is to facilitate the use of newly issued shares in connection with the implementation of or for the financing of acquisitions of companies or businesses or parts thereof and in connection with market investments.

A valid resolution requires approval of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the AGM.

Resolution regarding authorization for the Board of Directors to acquire and dispose of the company's own shares, item 20

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to, on one or several occasions, during the period until the next AGM, resolve on the acquisition of shares of the company. Such shares may be acquired up to a maximum amount not at any time exceeding 10% of the total number of shares issued by the company. Acquisitions of shares shall be made either on Nasdaq Stockholm at a purchase price within the range of share prices registered at any given time for the Class B shares, meaning the spread between the maximum buying rate and the minimum selling rate, or by way of an offer to all shareholders, whereby the purchase shall be made at a price which at the time of the decision corresponds at a minimum to the prevailing market price for the Class B shares and at a maximum to 150% of the prevailing market price for the Class B shares. The same price shall apply for Class A shares and Class B shares.

The Board of Directors also proposes that the Board of Directors shall be authorized to resolve, on one or several occasions during the period until the next AGM, to dispose all shares held by the company, via Nasdaq Stockholm or in connection with the acquisition of companies or businesses or parts thereof, in connection with market investments, for hedging costs that may arise relating to the company's incentive programs and for a continuous adaptation of the company's capital structure and thereby contributing to increased shareholders' value. The shareholders shall have a preferential right to acquire the shares in accordance with the provisions in the articles of association regarding the preferential right to subscribe for new shares, provided that the board of directors shall be entitled to deviate from the preferential right if the shares are paid for by way of set-off or if the purpose with the disposal is to secure the costs that arise as a result of the company's incentive program. A disposal of shares via Nasdaq Stockholm may only be made at a price within the range of share prices registered at any given time. 

A valid resolution requires approval of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the AGM.

The Board of Directors' motivated statement in accordance with Chapter 19, Section 22 of the Companies Act will be available at the company's offices in Linköping and on the company's website, investor.sectra.com/agm2020, at the latest as of August 18, 2020.
