Monday, April 15, 2024 has been proposed as the record date for payment of the dividend. Provided that the AGM votes in favor of this proposal, the dividend is expected to be sent out via Euroclear on Thursday, April 18, 2024.

Guidelines for compensation of senior executives

The guidelines apply to Industrivärden's CEO and other senior executives. The guidelines must be applied to compensation that is agreed, and changes that are made to previously agreed compensation, after the guidelines are adopted by the 2024 AGM. Compensation decided by the AGM is not covered by the guidelines.

No substantive changes have been made to the guidelines for compensation to senior executives compared to those most recently adopted by the 2020 AGM, except under the heading Forms of compensation etc., where a simplification has been made in the passage concerning Pension benefits by deleting the regulation of retirement age in respect of the right to receive pension benefits, and the cap on Other benefits has been increased. In addition, certain editorial changes have been made.

The guidelines' promotion of the Company's business mission, long-term interests and sustainability

The company's business mission, goals and strategy are presented on Industrivärden's website www.industrivarden.net.

The successful and sustainable implementation of the company's business mission, goals and strategy to safeguard the Company's long-term interests require the Company to recruit and retain qualified employees. The guidelines support this in that senior executives can be offered a market- based and competitive total compensation in relation to responsibility and authority.

Forms of compensation etc.

Compensation must be market-based and competitive and be related to individual performance as well as the Company's performance. Compensation may consist of the following components: fixed cash salary, short-term variable cash compensation, pension benefits and other benefits.

Short-term variable cash compensation may amount to a maximum of 50 percent of fixed annual cash salary. Compensation must be linked to fulfillment of individual criteria which are determined annually and evaluated based on the executive's effort and performance. Criteria may be financial or non- financial, and consist of individually adapted quantitative or qualitative goals. Criteria must be designed so that they have a clear connection to value creation for the Company and promote the Company's business mission and a sustainable implementation of the Company's long-term interests.

Fulfillment of criteria for payment of short-term variable cash compensation must be measured over a period of one year. The Compensation Committee is responsible for assessing to what extent criteria for payment of short-term variable cash compensation to the CEO have been met. The Board then determines the compensation for the CEO. The CEO is responsible for the assessment of fulfillment of the criteria for short-term variable cash compensation to other senior executives. Short-term variable cash compensation shall not be pensionable.

The Board must have the opportunity, according to law or agreement, with the limitations that may follow therefrom, wholly or partially reclaim variable cash compensation paid on incorrect grounds.

Pension benefits, including health insurance, must be defined contributions, unless the executive has a defined benefit pension according to mandatory collective bargaining provisions. Premiums and other costs due to defined contribution pension benefits are paid to the CEO and other senior executives in a total amount of up to 40 percent of fixed annual cash salary, depending on the senior executive's position.

This is a translation of the Swedish original.

Other benefits may include life insurance, health insurance, car benefit and fitness benefits. Such benefits may amount to no more than ten (10) percent of fixed annual cash salary, depending on the position of the executive.

In addition to the above - and independently of these guidelines - the AGM may decide on share and share price-related compensation. Since 2012, the Company has established long-term incentive programs, as resolved by the AGM. The programs are open to all employees, require employees to buy shares in the Company, and have three-year terms. Results are assessed based on performance targets that relate to the performance of Industrivärden's Class C shares. Current share incentive programs and those that have ended during the year are presented in more detail on Industrivärden's website www.industrivarden.net.

In the event of the termination of employment by the Company, a notice period of no more than two (2) years is applicable. Fixed cash salary during the notice period and severance pay must not exceed a total corresponding to the fixed cash salary for two (2) years. In the event of termination by an executive, the notice period may be a maximum of six (6) months, without the right to severance pay.

Furthermore, compensation related to any non-compete clause may be paid. Such compensation shall compensate for any loss of income and shall only be paid to the extent that the former employee is not entitled to severance pay. Compensation may amount to no more than 60 percent of fixed cash salary at the time of notice of termination, unless otherwise stated in mandatory collective agreement provisions, and be paid during the period for which the commitment to restrict competition applies, which may be no more than 12 months after the cessation of employment.

Decision-making process to determine, review and implement the guidelines

The Board has established a Compensation Committee. The Committee's tasks include preparing the Board's decisions on proposed guidelines for compensation to senior executives. The Board must draw up proposals for new guidelines at least every four years and submit these proposals for resolution at the AGM. Guidelines apply until new guidelines are adopted by a general meeting of shareholders. The Compensation Committee must also monitor and evaluate variable compensation programs for Company management, the application of compensation guidelines to senior executives and the Company's current compensation structures and compensation levels.

When preparing the Board's proposal for compensation guidelines, pay and employment conditions for the Company's other employees are taken into account as information on employee's total compensation, compensation components, as well as increase and rate of increase of compensation over time have constituted part of the Compensation Committee's and the Board's decision-making basis when evaluating the fairness of the guidelines and the limitations that follows from these.

The members of the Compensation Committee are independent of the Company and Company management. When the Board reviews and decides on compensation-related matters, the CEO or others in the Company's management are not present, insofar as they are affected by such matters.

Departing from the guidelines

The Board may decide to temporarily depart from the guidelines in whole or in part if, in an individual case, there are special reasons for this and a departure is necessary to satisfy the Company's long- term interests or to ensure the Company's financial viability. The Compensation Committee's responsibilities include preparing the Board's decisions on compensation matters, which includes decisions on deviations from the guidelines.
