The Committee’s duties are to prepare and submit to the Board proposals for resolutions relating to remuneration and other terms of employment for the Company’s President, principles regarding remuneration to senior executives, which the Board will present to the AGM for a resolution and other remuneration and employment term matters which by law or other regulations, the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance or established practice shall be resolved by the General Meeting or the Board of Directors.
