If a shareholder votes by proxy, a written and dated proxy shall be enclosed to the postal voting form. Proxy forms are available on the company's website www.annehem.se. If the shareholder is a legal entity, a certificate of incorporation or an equivalent certificate of authority should be enclosed.

Proposal for resolution on principles for appointing the nomination committee (item 17)
The nomination committee proposes to adopt principles for appointing the nomination committee as set out below.
The company shall have a nomination committee consisting of one member appointed by each of the three largest shareholders, or group of shareholders, in terms of votes, together with the chairman of the board of directors. The nomination committee shall be constituted based on shareholder statistics from Euroclear Sweden AB on 31 August each year and other reliable ownership information provided to the company at the time and the chairman of the board of directors who will also convene the first meeting of the nomination committee.
The board member representing the largest shareholder shall be appointed chairman of the nomination committee, unless the nomination committee unanimously appoints someone else. If earlier than three months prior to the Annual General Meeting, one or more of the shareholders having appointed representatives to the nomination committee no longer are among the three largest shareholders, representatives appointed by these shareholders shall resign and the shareholders who then are among the three largest shareholders may appoint their representatives. Should a representative resign from the nomination committee before its work is completed and the nomination committee considers it necessary to replace him or her, such substitute representative is to represent the same shareholder, or, if the shareholder is no longer one of the largest shareholders, the largest shareholder in turn. Shareholders who have appointed a representative to be a member of the nomination committee shall have the right to dismiss such member and appoint a new representative of the nomination committee. Changes to the composition of the nomination committee must be announced immediately. The nomination committee shall prepare the following proposals to be submitted to the Annual General Meeting for resolution:
-
proposal for chairman of the general meeting,
-
proposal for number of board members,
-
proposal for board members,
-
proposal for chairman of the board,
-
proposal for board remuneration divided between the chairman and other board member as well as remuneration for committee work,
-
proposal for auditors,
-
proposal for remuneration for the company's auditors, and
-
to the extent deemed necessary, proposal for changes in the current instruction for the nomination committee.
The nomination committee shall in connection with its duties meet the requirements according to the Swedish Companies Act and the Swedish Corporate Governance Code for Nominating Committees. The composition of the nomination committee for the Annual General Meeting shall generally be announced no later than six months before the Annual General Meeting. Remuneration shall not be paid to the representatives of the nomination committee. The company is to pay any necessary expenses that the nomination committee may incur in its work, for example, costs for external consultants deemed necessary by the nomination committee in order for the nomination committee to fulfil its duties. The term of office for the nomination committee ends when the composition of the following nomination committee has been announced.
Resolution regarding authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on new issues of class B shares (item 19)
The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the board of directors to, up until the next Annual General Meeting, on one or several occasions, resolve to increase the company's share capital by way of new issues of class B shares to such an extent that it corresponds to a dilution which corresponds to 10 percent, based on the number of shares that are outstanding at the time of the Annual General Meeting's resolution on the authorisation, after full exercise of the hereby proposed authorisation.
New issues of class B shares may be made with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights and with or without provisions for contribution in kind, set-off or other conditions. The purpose of the authorisation is to increase the company's financial flexibility and to enable the company to make payment with own shares in connection with any acquisition of properties, companies or business operations. Issuance with payment in cash with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights may only be made to finance the purchase price to be paid in cash in connection with the acquisition of properties, companies or business operations. In the event of issuances with payment in cash with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the starting point for determining the issuance price shall be the prevailing market conditions at the time when shares are issued.
The CEO shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments to this resolution that may be necessary in connection with the registration thereof with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket).
Resolution regarding authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on repurchase and transfer of own class B shares (item 20)
The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the board of directors to resolve to repurchase, on one or several occasions until the next Annual General Meeting, as many own class B shares as may be purchased without the company's holding at any time exceeding 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the company. The shares shall be purchased on Nasdaq Stockholm and only at a price per share within the price range applicable, i.e. the range between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price.
The board of directors also proposes that the meeting authorises the board of directors to resolve, on one or several occasions until the next Annual General Meeting, to transfer (sell) own class B shares. Transfers may be carried out on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price within the price range applicable, i.e. the range between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price. Transfers may also be made in other ways, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, against cash payment or against payment through set-off or in kind, or otherwise on special conditions. Upon such transfers, the price shall be established so that it is not below market terms. However, a discount to the stock market price may apply, in line with market practice. Transfers of own shares may be made of up to such number of class B shares as is held by the company at the time of the board of directors' resolution regarding the transfer.
The purpose of the authorisation to repurchase own class B shares is to promote efficient capital usage in the company and to enable financing of acquisitions with the company's own class B shares. The purpose of the authorisation to transfer own shares is to enable the board of directors to finance acquisitions of properties or property companies, or part of properties or property companies with own class B shares.
The board of director's statement in accordance with chapter 19 section 22 of the Swedish Companies Act is made available together with the proposal.
The CEO shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments to this resolution that may be necessary in connection with the registration thereof with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket).
