The Board proposes guidelines principally entailing that the
Company shall offer total remuneration on market terms,
facilitating the recruitment and retention of competent senior
executives. Remuneration of senior executives may comprise fixed
salary, any variable salary, pensions and other benefits. The fixed
salary shall take into consideration the individual's area of
responsibility and experience. The variable salary shall, where
applicable, depend on the individual's fulfillment of quantitative
and qualitative goals. Pension benefits shall comprise
defined-contribution schemes. For senior executives covered by the

The Board proposes that the Meeting resolve to grant authorization
to the Board, for a period that does not extend past the date of
the next Annual General Meeting, on one or several occasions, with
or without pre-emptive rights for shareholders, to resolve on the
issue of new shares and/or convertibles. It should also be possible
to make such an issue resolution stipulating in-kind payment, the
right to offset debt or other conditions. The authorization may not
be utilized to a greater extent than would enable a total of not
more than nine million shares to be issued and/or arise through the
conversion of convertibles issued with the support of the

shareholders' equity. The reduction shall be made without
