The nomination committee is to propose:

• the chairman of the annual general meeting;
• candidates for the post of chairman and other directors of the board;
• fees and other remuneration to each director;
• fees to members of committees within the board;
• election and remuneration of the Company auditor; and

1.4 Regardless of how they have been appointed, the members of the nomination committee are to promote the interests of all shareholders of the Company.

2. Members of the nomination committee

The chairman of the board shall as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the third quarter, in an adequate manner, contact the three owner-registered largest shareholders, by voting power, according to the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB at that time and request that they, taken into consideration the circumstances, within reasonable time which cannot exceed 30 days, in writing to the nomination committee nominate that person whom the shareholder wishes to appoint as member of the nomination committee. If any of the three largest shareholders wish not to exercise their right to appoint a member of the nomination committee, the next shareholder in consecutive order shall be entitled to appoint a member of the nomination committee. In the case that several shareholders abstain their right to appoint a member of the nomination committee, the chairman of the board shall not be required to contact more than eight shareholders, unless it is necessary in order to obtain a nomination committee consisting of a minimum of three members.

2.2 Unless otherwise agreed between the members, the chairman of the nomination committee shall be nominated by the largest shareholder by voting power. The chairman of the board shall never be the chairman of the nomination committee.

2.3 If a member nominated by a shareholder, during the year ceases to be one of the Company’s three largest shareholders by voting powers, the member nominated by such shareholder shall resign from the nomination committee. Instead, a new shareholder among the three largest shareholders shall be entitled to independently and in its sole discretion appoint a member of the nomination committee. However, no marginal changes in shareholding and no changes in shareholding which occur later than three months prior to the annual general meeting shall lead to a change in the composition of the nomination committee, unless there are exceptional reasons.

2.4 If a member of the nomination committee resigns before the nomination committee has completed its assignment, for reasons other than set out in item 2.3, the shareholder who nominated such member shall be entitled to independently and in its sole discretion appoint a replacement member. If the chairman of the board resigns from the board, his/her successor shall replace the chairman of the board also on the nomination committee.

3. Announcement of the nomination committee members

• any holdings of shares and other financial instruments in the Company owned by the candidate or the candidate’s related natural or legal persons;
• whether the nomination committee deems the candidate to be independent from the Company and its executive management, as well as of the major shareholders in the Company. If the committee considers a candidate independent regardless of the existence of such circumstances which, according to the criteria of the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance, may give cause to consider the candidate not independent, the nomination committee shall explain its proposal; and
• in the case of re-election, the year that the person was first elected to the board.

8.3 The chairman of the nomination committee may make public statements about the work of the nomination committee. No other nomination committee member may make statements to the press or otherwise make public statements regarding the Company and the Company group unless the chairman of the board has given permission thereto.

Item 12: Resolution regarding guidelines for remuneration to senior executives

The board of directors of the Company proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on guidelines for remuneration to senior executives in accordance with the below.

Who the guidelines include and the applicability of the guidelines

These guidelines for remuneration to senior executives include directors, the CEO and persons who report directly to the CEO.

The guidelines shall be applied to fixed based salary and variable remuneration agreed upon, and to changes made to such remuneration, after the guidelines have been adopted by the general meeting.

The guidelines do not include remuneration resolved by the general meeting or other remuneration paid to senior executives and which is not explicitly stated in these guidelines.

The board of directors shall have the right to temporarily deviate, in whole or in part, from the guidelines if in an individual case it is considered that a deviation from the guidelines is commercially justified according to the Board's assessment.

The forms of remuneration, etc.

Remuneration to senior executives consists of a fixed based salary and variable remuneration (short-term incentives). The general meeting may in addition - and independently of these guidelines - resolve on share or share price-related remuneration.

The Company's board of directors must in special cases be able to be remunerated for services within their respective areas of competence, which do not constitute board work. A market fee must be paid for these services, which must be approved by the board of directors and informed at the general meeting.

Fixed based salary

Fixed based salary for the CEO and other senior executives is reassessed annually.

Variable compensation (short-term incentives)

The variable remuneration shall consist of two parts. One part is determined by the achievement of certain goals for the Company, while the other part is determined by the achievement of individual goals.

The main part of the variable remuneration is linked to the Company's financial targets, while the individual part constitutes a smaller share of the same.

Goals for the CEO are proposed by the Remuneration Committee and decided by the Board, while goals for other senior executives are proposed by the CEO and decided by the Remuneration Committee.

Goals are decided during the first quarter of each financial year and the fulfillment of goals is measured and payment is made as soon as possible after the annual general meeting has approved the annual report for the year of earnings.

The variable remuneration can amount to a maximum of 30 percent of the fixed basic salary for the CEO and CFO and 20 percent of the fixed basic salary for other senior executives.

The current employment agreement runs during the notice period. If severance pay were to be paid, no variable compensation is paid for the period after the end of the notice period. The variable remuneration must be pensionable.

Long-term incentives

Senior executives may be offered incentive programs which are mainly to be share or share price related. Share and share price-related incentive programs must be resolved by the general meeting and are therefore not covered by these guidelines.

Item 13: Resolution for the board to resolve on issuances

The board of directors of the Company proposes that the annual general meeting of the shareholders shall resolves to authorize the board of directors until the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, to issue shares, convertibles and/or warrants, with the right to subscribe for and convert into shares in the Company, respectively, corresponding to a maximum of 10 percent of the Company's share capital after dilution based on the number of shares in the Company at the time when the authorization is used for the first time, to be paid in cash, through set-off or in kind. The reason for the authorization and deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to enable raising capital for expansion through acquisitions of companies or assets and for the business of the Company as well as to adapt the Company’s capital and/or ownership structure. If issuances are carried out with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, such issue shall be made in accordance with customary market terms. If the board of directors finds it suitable in order to enable delivery of shares in connection with a share issuance as set out above it may be made at a subscription price corresponding to the shares quota value.

The board of directors or anyone appointed by the board of directors is given the right to make the adjustments necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution at the Companies Registration Office.

Majority requirements

A resolution in accordance with item 13 is valid where supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting.

Number of shares and votes

The total number of shares and votes in the Company as of the date of the notice amounts to

45,511,751. The Company does not own any shares.

Other

Copies of accounts, auditor statement and proxy form are available at least three weeks in advance of the annual general meeting. The complete proposals and other documents that shall be available in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act, including the complete proposed articles of association, are available at least two weeks in advance of the meeting. All documents are available at the Company's address at Stockholmsvägen 116 B, 187 30 Täby, Sweden and at the Company’s website www.nilar.com in accordance with the above and will be sent to shareholders who request it and provide their e-mail or postal address.

The shareholders are hereby notified regarding the right to, at the annual general meeting, request information from the board of directors and managing director according to Ch. 7 § 32 of the Swedish Companies Act.
