(b) The last sentence of Article 80.1 of the articles of association of the Company which reads as follows is deleted: 'No meeting of the Directors shall be held in the United Kingdom'. Article 80.1 would subsequently read as follows: 'Subject to the provisions of these Articles the Directors may meet together for the dispatch of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate their proceedings as they think fit. At any time any Director may, and the Secretary at the request of a Director shall, call a meeting of the Directors. Any Director may waive notice of any meeting and any such waiver may be retroactive.' (c) The last two sentences of Article 80.2 of the articles of association of the Company which read as follows are deleted: 'Such a meeting shall be deemed to take place where the largest group of Directors participating is assembled or, if there is no such group, where the chairman of the meeting then is. Provided that a Director shall not be entitled to participate in a meeting of the Directors by means of conference telephone or other communication equipment where such Director is physically present in the United Kingdom'. Article 80.2 would subsequently read as follows: 'The Directors shall be deemed to meet together if, being in separate locations, they are nonetheless linked by conference telephone or other communication equipment that allows those participating to hear and speak to each other, and a quorum in that event shall be three Directors so linked (provided that any meeting shall only be quorate if a majority of the Directors present are non-executive).' (d) The last sentence of Article 90 of the articles of association of the Company which reads as follows is deleted: 'No committee or sub-committee of the Directors shall meet in the United Kingdom.' Article 90 would subsequently read as follows: 'The Directors may delegate any of their powers or discretions (including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing all powers and discretions whose exercise involves or may involve the payment of remuneration to or the conferring of any other benefit on all or any of the Directors) to committees. Any such committee shall, unless the Directors otherwise resolve, have power to sub-delegate to sub-committees any of the powers or discretions delegated to it. Any such committee or sub-committee shall consist of one or more Directors and (if thought fit) one or more other named person or persons to be coopted as hereinafter provided. Insofar as any such power or discretion is delegated to a committee or subcommittee, any reference in these Articles to the exercise by the Directors of the power or discretion so delegated shall be read and construed as if it were a reference to the exercise thereof by such committee or sub-committee. Any committee or sub-committee so formed shall in the exercise of the powers so delegated conform to any regulations which may from time to time be imposed by the Directors. Any such regulations may provide for or authorise the co-option to the committee or sub-committee of persons other than Directors and may provide for members who are not Directors to have voting rights as members of the committee or sub-committee.'	Resolution (q)
25	The meeting will be requested to consider and if thought fit, approve, by extraordinary resolution, the following further resolution: it being noted that (i) at a Board of Directors´ meeting held on 6 March 2019, the directors resolved to obtain authority to buy back GBP 0.000625 Ordinary Shares/SDR´s in the Company (the purpose of buyback being to achieve added value for the Company's shareholders); and (ii) pursuant to article 106(1) (b) of the Companies Act (Cap.386 of the Laws of Malta) a company may acquire any of its own shares otherwise than by subscription, provided inter alia authorisation is given by an extraordinary resolution, which resolution will need to determine the terms and conditions of such acquisitions and in particular the maximum number of shares/SDR's to be acquired, the duration of the period for which the authorisation is given and the maximum and minimum consideration, given this it is proposed that the Company, through the Board, be generally authorised to make purchases of ordinary shares/SDR's of GBP 0.000625 each in its capital, subject to the following: (a) the maximum number of shares/SDR's that may be so acquired is 23,012,620; (b) the minimum price that may be paid for the shares/SDR's is 1 SEK per share/SDR's exclusive of tax; (c) the maximum price that may be paid for the shares/SDR's is 200 SEK per share/SDR's exclusive of tax; (d) the purchases may take place on multiple occasions and will be based on market terms, and (e) the authority conferred by this resolution shall expire on the date of the 2020 Annual General Meeting but not so as to prejudice the completion of a purchase contracted before that date on actual market price and terms and prevailing regulations.	Resolution (r)
26	The meeting will be requested to consider and if thought fit, approve, by extraordinary resolution, the following further resolution: That the directors be and are hereby duly authorised and empowered in accordance with articles 85(2) and 88(7) in the Companies Act, on one or several occasions prior to the date of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company, to issue and allot up to a maximum of 23 million ordinary shares in the Company of a nominal value of GBP 0.000625 each (corresponding to a dilution of about 10 per cent) for payment in kind in connection with an acquisition without first offering the said shares to existing shareholders. Such acquisition will be only in line with the Group's other strategy, and acquisition cost and the valuation of the acquisition will be clearly reported. This resolution is being taken in terms and for the purposes of the approvals necessary in terms of the Companies Act and the Articles of Association of the Company. The board has no intention to use the two authorisations in such manner that more than an aggregate of 10 percent of the total number of outstanding shares will be bought back or used to make an acquisition from the date of the authorisation until 2020 Annual General Meeting	Resolution (s)

Agenda item 12

The Nomination Committee proposes that a total fee of maximum GBP 764,000 (2018: GBP 730,000) be paid to Directors elected at the AGM, who are not employees of the Company.

The Nomination Committee proposes that the US Committee comprises three members and that the fee should be the same as for the Remuneration Committee, GBP 12,000 to each member and an additional GBP 8,000 be paid to the Chairman of the Committee.

Agenda item 20

The Nomination Committee proposes that Anders Ström is appointed the Chairman of the Board.

Agenda item 21

The Nomination Committee proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves that, until the general meeting of the shareholders decides otherwise, the Nomination Committee shall consist of not less than four and not more than five members, of which one shall be the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The members of the Nomination Committee shall represent all shareholders and be appointed by the four largest shareholders at the end of August 2019 having expressed their willingness to participate in the Nomination Committee. Should one of these shareholders appoint the Chairman of the Board of Directors as its member, the Nomination Committee shall consist of four members. The other three members shall be appointed by each of the other three of the four largest shareholders expressing their willingness to participate in the Nomination Committee within one week from that they are asked. The appointment of a member of the Nomination Committee shall state which shareholder has appointed that member. Should one of the four largest shareholders waive its right to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee, the opportunity to appoint a member shall be offered to the largest shareholder who not already have a member in the Nomination Committee. The opportunity to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee shall thereafter be passed on in order of the largest shareholding. The members of the Nomination Committee shall appoint the committee chair among themselves. The names of the members of the Nomination Committee shall be announced not later than the date of the publication of the Company's interim report for the third quarter of 2019. Should the ownership in the Company change, after the announcement of the Nomination Committee but before the end of the fourth quarter of 2019, to such extent that the members of the Nomination Committee no longer reflect the shareholding as stipulated above, and the Nomination Committee so considers appropriate, then the member of the Nomination Committee representing the shareholder with the lesser number of shares in the Company shall resign from the committee and the shareholder who has become the larger shareholder in the Company shall, in the order corresponding to its shareholding in the Company, be offered to appoint a new member of the Nomination Committee. Minor changes in the shareholding of the Company shall not be taken into account. Shareholders who have appointed a member in the Nomination Committee have the right to dismiss that member and appoint a new member. Should a member of the Nomination Committee leave his/her assignment prematurely and if the Nomination Committee deems it appropriate, a new member shall be appointed by the shareholder who appointed the resigning member or that other shareholder who at that point of time has the larger shareholding in the Company. All changes of the Nomination Committee will be announced. No remuneration will be paid to the members of the Nomination Committee.

Agenda item 22

The Nomination Committee proposes that PricewaterhouseCoopers are re-appointed as auditors for the Company for 2019 and that the auditor fees be paid against approved account.

Agenda item 23

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves upon guidelines for remuneration to management. The policy of the Board is to attract, retain and motivate the best managers by rewarding them with competitive salary and benefit packages linked to achieving the Company's financial objectives. Senior Managers receive base salaries based on position, responsibilities, performance and skills. The base salary is a fixed amount, payable monthly, which is usually reviewed annually in January. Benefits are based on the requirements of the country where the manager is employed. The performance-related salary is designed to support key business strategies and financial objectives and create a strong, performance-orientated environment. The performance targets are reviewed annually and are based on both quantitative and qualitative goals. The pay-out is conditional upon the Company achieving set financial targets. Thereafter, individual targets are mainly linked to financial objectives such as Gross winnings revenue and EBITDA. There is also a part which is based on delivery of specific projects and business critical processes. The 2018 performance related salary included objectives relating to Sustainability and Customer Experience. Achievement of targets is assessed on an annual basis. The amount of potential variable pay compared to basic salary varies depending on position and situation. All variable elements have a limit, which means that they cannot exceed a predetermined amount. Under the standard annual cycle of bonuses for the CEO and executive management, formal approval and payment of bonuses is typically completed after the publication of the results for the fourth quarter. Equity awards are made through the Performance Share Plan which was introduced in 2013. They are granted under the terms of the Kindred Performance Share Plan (PSP), and are linked to the performance of the Group to further align senior management's interests with those of the shareholders. The PSP share awards outstanding at 31 December 2018 may generally only vest if the holder is employed by the Kindred Group at the date of vesting. Exceptions are made in special circumstances. The PSP performance measures are non-market based conditions providing participants with a high degree of alignment to Company performance. PSP awards will depend on Kindred achieving financial performance targets over three financial years establishing a clearer link between how Kindred performs and the value that the PSP can deliver. These targets are Gross Contribution (Gross Winnings Revenue Less Cost of Sales less Marketing Costs), Free Cash Flow per Share and EBITDA and will be measured on an aggregate basis over three years.

Agenda item 24

The rationale for the deletion to Article 5 of the memorandum of association of the Company is due to amendments made to the Companies Act, Chapter 386 of the laws of Malta so as to, among other things, abolish the possibility of Maltese companies issuing share warrants to bearer with respect to any fully paid up shares if so authorised by their memorandum or articles of association. As amended, no Maltese company may now issue a share warrant to bearer notwithstanding anything contained in its memorandum and articles of association. The rationale for the deletions to Article 80.1, 80.2 and 90 of the articles of association of the Company is so as to allow for greater flexibility in the location of board meetings. The full Memorandum and Articles of Association with the proposed amendments can be found on the Company's website www.kindredgroupplc.com/AGM.

Agenda item 25

The Board of Directors proposes that the acquisition of shares/SDR´s shall take place on Nasdaq Stockholm or via an offer to acquire the shares/SDR´s to all shareholders. Repurchases may take place on multiple occasions and will be based on actual market price and terms, prevailing regulations and the capital situation at any given time. Notification of any purchase will be made to Nasdaq Stockholm and details will appear in the Company's annual report and accounts. The objective of the buyback is to achieve added value for the Company's shareholders and to give the Board increased flexibility with the Company's capital structure. Following repurchase the intention of the Board would be to either cancel, use as consideration for an acquisition or issue to employees under a Share Option programme or Share Performance Scheme. Once repurchased under Companies Act (Cap.386 of the Laws of Malta) further shareholder approval will be required before those shares could be cancelled only. If used as consideration for an acquisition, the intention would be that the actual Shares/SDRS would be offered to any potential transferor.

Agenda item 26

The objectives of the authorisation are to increase the financial flexibility of the Company and to enable the Company to use its own financial instruments for payment in kind to a selling partner in connection with any business acquisitions the Company may undertake or to settle any deferred payments in connection with business acquisitions. The market value of the shares on each issue date that will be used in determining the price at which shares will be issued, should be the same as the market value of the shares/SDR's listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.

Shareholders/SDR holders representing approximately 27.8 per cent of the voting rights of all shares in the Company have stated that they intend to vote in favour of the proposals of the Nomination Committee.
