The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on the following guidelines for remuneration and other remuneration for the company's senior executives, to apply at most until the end of the Annual General Meeting in 2028.

An overall objective of the operations in
A successful implementation of the company's business strategy and the safeguarding of the company's long-term interests, including its sustainability, requires that the company can recruit and retain qualified employees.
The forms of remuneration
Fixed salary
Remuneration for satisfactory performance shall be paid in the form of a fixed salary. The fixed salary shall be based on market conditions and determined with regard to competence, area of responsibility and performance. Senior executives do not receive remuneration for board assignments in the company or its subsidiaries.
Variable remuneration
In addition to fixed salary, variable remuneration that rewards clearly target-related performance in simple and transparent structures shall be able to be offered. The variable remunerations shall be linked to predetermined measurable criteria which shall be designed to promote the company's business strategy and long-term interests, including sustainability. The criteria shall be established annually by the remuneration committee and the board of directors respectively. Variable remuneration shall be based on outcomes in relation to set targets, both in relation to the company's results and in relation to individual performance, with the possibility to consider how the work effort contributes to the company's long-term interests. By linking the senior executives' remuneration to the company's performance and sustainability, the targets promote the implementation of the company's business strategy, long-term interests and competitiveness. The fulfilment of criteria for the payment of variable remuneration shall be measurable over a period of one year.
At the end of the measurement period for fulfilment of criteria for payment of variable remuneration, the extent to which the criteria have been fulfilled shall be assessed and determined. As regards financial targets, the assessment shall be based on the company's most recently published financial information. During the annual evaluation, the remuneration committee or, where applicable, the board of directors may adjust the targets and/or remuneration for both positive and negative extraordinary events, reorganizations and structural changes. Variable remuneration may amount to a maximum of 50 percent of the fixed annual salary and is paid in the form of cash non-pensionable salary.
Additional variable remuneration may be paid in extraordinary circumstances, provided that such extraordinary arrangements are limited in time and are only made on an individual basis either for the purpose of recruiting or retaining executives, or as remuneration for extraordinary work efforts in addition to the person's regular duties. The board of directors may decide that such additional remuneration shall be conditional on reinvestment in the company's shares. Such additional variable remuneration may not exceed an amount corresponding to 25 percent of the fixed annual salary and may not be paid more than once a year per individual. Decisions on such remuneration shall be made by the board of directors after preparation by the remuneration committee. Furthermore, the board of directors is entitled to reclaim variable remuneration paid based on information that has subsequently proved to be incorrect and misleadingly presented.
Pension benefits
Senior executives shall receive pension benefits in the form of retirement pension and waiver of premium, which shall be defined contribution, as well as health insurance, which shall be defined benefit. Variable remuneration shall not be pensionable, unless otherwise provided by mandatory collective agreement provisions applicable to the senior executive at the time of payment. Senior executives' pension benefits may not exceed 30 percent of the fixed annual salary, including vacation pay. The retirement age is 65 years.
Other benefits
Other benefits for senior executives may include, inter alia, health insurance, mobile phone and car benefit. Premiums and other costs related to such benefits may not exceed ten percent of the total fixed annual salary for the senior executive.
Notice of termination and severance pay
The notice period shall, in case of termination by the company, not exceed twelve months. Upon termination by the company, fixed salary during the notice period and severance pay may not exceed an amount corresponding to the fixed salary for two years. In the event of termination by the senior executive, the notice period shall not exceed six months, with no right to severance pay.
In addition, remuneration for any non-competition undertaking may be paid. Such remuneration shall compensate for any loss of income and shall only be paid during the period that the senior executive is not entitled to severance pay. The monthly remuneration shall amount to a maximum of 50 percent of the average monthly income for the twelve months preceding the termination of employment. The remuneration shall be paid for the duration of the non-compete undertaking, which shall be no more than nine months after the termination of employment.

Preparation and decision-making process
According to the Swedish Corporate Governance Code, the board of directors shall establish a remuneration committee which, in relation to the board of directors, shall have a preparatory function regarding remuneration principles, remuneration and other terms of employment for senior executives. The remuneration committee shall prepare the board of directors' decision on proposals for guidelines for remuneration to senior executives, remuneration and other terms of employment for this group and evaluate the application of the guidelines adopted by the annual general meeting. The board of directors shall prepare a proposal for new guidelines at least every four years and present the proposal for resolution at the annual general meeting. The guidelines shall apply until new guidelines are adopted by the general meeting. In case there is a need for significant changes to the guidelines, the board of directors shall prepare a proposal for new guidelines.
The remuneration committee shall also, within the framework of the guidelines adopted by the Annual General Meeting, prepare proposals regarding remuneration to the CEO and other senior executives. Furthermore, the remuneration committee shall monitor and evaluate during the year ongoing and completed programs for variable remuneration to senior executives as well as current remuneration structures and remuneration levels in

The board of directors may temporarily resolve to deviate from the guidelines, in whole or in part, if there are specific reasons for doing so in an individual case and a and a deviation is necessary to meet
Description of changes to the guidelines etc.
In relation to the guidelines for remuneration to senior executives resolved by the Annual General Meeting 2022, the proposal entails a few minor changes in that, when assessing whether variable remuneration should be paid, it should be possible to consider, in addition to target fulfilment in relation to the established targets, how the individual’s work effort contributes to the company’s long-term interests, and that the board of directors shall be able to decide that additional variable remuneration shall be conditional on such remuneration being reinvestment in the company's shares. Other changes proposed in the guidelines are only editorial changes.
The board of directors has not received any comments from shareholders on the existing guidelines for remuneration to senior executives.

Resolution on implementation of a long-term incentive program 2024/2027, including resolution on a directed issue of warrants with subsequent transfer to the participants, item 17

The warrants are issued free of charge to the Subsidiary while the transfer to the Participants shall be made against a payment corresponding to the market value based on the Black & Scholes valuation model.

1.9 Complete terms and conditions for the warrants are set out in “Terms and conditions for warrants of series 2024/2027”, which are kept available in Swedish on the company’s website, www.logistea.se.
- Approval of transfer of warrants to senior executives and employees
2.1 The board of directors proposes that the general meeting approves that the Subsidiary transfers a maximum of 630,000 warrants in LTIP 2024/2027 to the Participants, or otherwise dispose of the warrants in order to secure the commitments due to LTIP 2024/2027.
2.2 The right to acquire the warrants shall be granted to the Participants in accordance with the principles set out in 2.5 below.

2.3 The warrants shall be offered to the Participants at a price corresponding to an estimated market value for the warrants using the Black & Scholes valuation model.

The value of the warrants has preliminary been calculated to

- Miscellaneous
3.1 Dilution
Based on the number of shares in the company at the time of issuing the notice to the Annual General Meeting, the proposed incentive program, upon exercise of all warrants, entails a dilution of approximately 0.3 percent of the number of shares in the company. According to item 3.2 below, an alternative exercise model may be applied upon exercise of the warrants, which means that each warrant as a starting point entitles to a lower number of shares and that the expected dilution of the program is thus lower than the maximum dilution according to the above.
3.2 Alternative exercise model
The participants in LTIP 2024/2027 shall have the right to, upon subscription for shares using the warrants, request that an alternative exercise model shall be applied in accordance with the complete terms and conditions. Upon application of the alternative exercise model, the subscription price for each share shall correspond to
Illustrative calculation example based on an assumed subscription price of
Share price | Total dilution | Total number of new ordinary shares of class B |
17.50 | 0.03% | 74,118 |
20.00 | 0.07% | 145,385 |
22.50 | 0.09% | 200,455 |
25.00 | 0.11% | 244,286 |
Recalculation of the number of shares that each warrant entitles to subscription of shall be carried out by the company in accordance with the following formula:
recalculated number of ordinary shares of class B that each warrant entitles to subscription of = | The ordinary share of class B’s average price during the first five trading days following the first day in the subscription period (“Actual Share Price”) reduced by the subscription price- (divided by) -Actual Share Price reduced by |
3.3 Costs and impact on key ratios
Considering that the warrants will be transferred to the Participants at an estimated market value, LTIP 2024/2027 is not expected to entail any costs other than certain costs for preparation and administration, as well as the issue of shares upon exercise of the warrants.
The warrants will not result in any accounting consequences. However, the dilution effect of the warrants may affect key ratios per share in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
If the company would repurchase warrants in cases where this is possible according to the separate agreements with the Participants, the estimated issue proceeds relating to repurchased warrants would not be realized and any premium already paid would be refunded.
The company considers offering loans to Participants for the acquisition of warrants under LTIP 2024/2027, to the extent it is compatible with Chapter 21 of the Swedish Companies Act.
3.4 Other outstanding share-related incentive programs
3.5 Preparation of the program
The principles for LTIP 2024/2027 have been prepared by the company’s board of directors and remuneration committee. The proposal has been prepared with the support of external advisors and after consultations with shareholders. The board of directors has subsequently decided to submit this proposal to the general meeting. Except from the employees who prepared the matter according to instructions from the board of directors, no employee who may be covered by the program has participated in the preparation of the terms and conditions.
Resolution on authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on new issue of shares, item 18
The board of directors proposes that the board of directors be authorised, within the limits of the articles of association applicable at the time of exercise of the authorisation, on one or several occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, to decide on new issues of ordinary shares of class A, B and D and/or preference shares with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights. Based on the authorisation, the number of shares that may be issued may correspond to an increase of a maximum of one hundred (100) percent of the total number of shares issued in the company at the time of the Annual General Meeting, however, the number of preference shares that may be issued by virtue of the authorisation may only amount to so many shares that the dividend on the shares is covered by the company’s restricted equity. The shares may be subscribed for in cash, by contribution in kind or by way of set-off or on terms set out in Chapter 2, Section 5 of the Swedish Companies Act.
The purpose of the authorisation is to increase the company’s financial flexibility and the board of director’s scope for action. If the board of directors decides on an issue with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the reason shall be to enable external fundraising for the financing of the company’s business, acquisitions of properties or property-owning companies and/or acquisition of other companies or operations.
A new issue decided by virtue of the authorisation which takes place with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights shall be in line with market terms.
Resolution on authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on repurchase of own ordinary shares, item 19
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorises the board of directors to, on one or several occasions for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, resolve to acquire a maximum number of own ordinary shares so that the company holds a maximum of five percent of all shares in the company at any time following the acquisition. Acquisitions may only be conducted on Nasdaq Stockholm and at a price within the price range for the share price prevailing at any time, i.e., the range between the highest ask price and the lowest bid price. In the event that the acquisitions are effected by a stock broker as assigned by the company, the price of own ordinary shares may, however, correspond to the volume weighted average price during the time period within which the ordinary shares were acquired, even if the volume weighted average price on the record day to the company falls outside the price range. Payment for the ordinary shares shall be made in cash.
The purpose of the above authorisation regarding repurchase of own ordinary shares is to adjust the company’s capital structure according to the capital requirements from time to time, thereby contributing to an increased shareholder value, as well as to be able to transfer own ordinary shares of as payment, or in order to finance acquisitions of real property companies or business for real property, or in order to finance real property investments. The purpose of the authorisation does not include trading in the company’s own shares for short-term profit.
