Instructions for the Nominations Committee
The Nominations Committee's proposed instructions and rules of procedure for the
Nominations Committee were adopted.
The Nominations Committee is to consist of three ordinary members, who are to be
representatives of the three largest shareholders as at 30 April 2011. The
chairman of the Board is to contact the three largest shareholders, and be co-
opted to the Committee. If any of the three largest shareholders waives the
right to appoint a representative, the chairman shall invite the next
shareholder in order of size to designate a representative until the Nominations
Committee consists of three members. The largest shareholders are defined here
as the shareholders registered by Euroclear and grouped by ownership. In the
event of a later material change in ownership among the largest shareholders
taking place earlier than six weeks prior to the Annual General Meeting, and if
one shareholder, having become one of the three largest shareholders after this
material change in ownership requests to be included in the Nominations
Committee, the Nominations Committee shall offer this shareholder a place on the
Nominations Committee either by deciding that this shareholder is to replace the
smallest shareholder after the change or by deciding to increase the Nominations
Committee to include one more member.
Remuneration policy for company management
Finally, the meeting adopted the Board's proposed remuneration policy for the
management team. The policy implies that a bonus of a maximum of 50 per cent of
fixed salary is payable, and that there is no severance pay other than salary
during a period of notice. The remuneration policy is the same as that adopted
by the previous Annual General Meeting.
