The Nomination Committee is to consist of five members, comprising representatives of the five largest shareholders, in terms of votes registered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB on August 31 in the year prior to the Annual General Meeting.

Not later than September 15 in the year prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Chairman of the Board is to contact shareholders in the company as stated above, each of whom shall have the right to appoint one member, who should not be a Board member, to the Nomination Committee. If any of the shareholders should waive their right to appoint a representative to the Nomination Committee, or if a member should resign or leave before his/her work is complete, the Chairman is to invite the next owner in order of priority to appoint a member, in which case no more than a total of ten shareholders need to be asked, unless this is required for the Nomination Committee to consist of at least four members.

13 - RESOLUTION ON AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to amend the Articles of Association in accordance with the following. The board of directors proposes that the in the law removed term "name" (Sw. firma) is removed from article 1 of the Articles of Association and is replaced with "business name" (Sw. företagsnamn) (this change is only relevant for the Swedish version of the Articles of Association) and that the deadline "3:00 p.m. on" be removed from article 9 of the Articles of Association so that the relevant sentence reads as follows: "To participate in a shareholders' meeting, shareholders shall notify the Company not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified in the notice convening the meeting." Furthermore, the Board of Directors proposes that a new article 14 be entered in the Articles of Association and consequently, the numbering of the following articles be updated accordingly. The intention of the proposal regarding the introduction of a new article 14 is to enable the Board of Directors to decide that shareholders may be entitled to exercise their voting rights by post ahead of a shareholders' meeting. In conclusion, the Board of Directors proposes that the reference to the act in article 16 (according to the updated numbering following the introduction of a new article 14) be updated as a result of a legislative change.
