The Nomination Committee for the 2024 Annual General Meeting has consisted of the chairman Henrik Didner, representing Didner & Gerge Fonder, Thomas Ehlin, representing Fjärde AP-fonden, Martin Nilsson, representing Första AP-fonden and Peter Nilsson, the chairman of the Board of Lindab International AB (publ).

Election of chairman of the Annual General Meeting (item 1)

The Nomination Committee proposes that the Annual General Meeting elects Peter Nilsson, the chairman of the Board, as the chairman of the Annual General Meeting.

Proposal for disposition of profits and record dates for dividend (item 8 b)

The Board proposes that a dividend of in total SEK 5.40 per share is resolved for the financial year 2023, to be paid half-yearly in two instalments of SEK 2.70 per share. As record dates for the half-yearly dividend the Board proposes May 16, 2024 and November 1, 2024, respectively. The dividend is expected to be distributed by Euroclear Sweden AB on the third banking day after the respective record date.

Proposal for number of Board members and deputy Board members (item 9)

The Nomination Committee proposes that the number of Board members elected by the Annual General Meeting shall remain unchanged and thus, be seven Board members without deputy Board members.

Proposal for fees to the Board and auditors (item 10)

The Nomination Committee has previous years evaluated the possibility to stimulate the Board members' interest in the Company and its financial development and to create the possibility for the Board members to have a financial interest in the Company that is equivalent to the shareholders. Thus, the Annual General Meeting of 2019 established a principle henceforth, stating that a part of the fee to the Board shall be invested in Lindab shares. In addition, the Nomination Committee has reviewed and compared the remuneration in comparable companies in order to ensure that the compensation for the Board’s work is on market terms.

Consequently, the Nomination Committee proposes, similar to previous years, that 1/3 of the net fee shall be invested in Lindab shares in accordance with the following terms:

• Acquisition of shares shall be made after the Annual General Meeting 2024 and before the second quarter financial report of 2024, or as soon as possible, if a Board member is prevented by law from acquiring the shares earlier.
• The shares shall be kept by the Board member for a five (5) year period from the date of acquisition by the Board member.
• The obligation to keep the shares for at least five (5) years shall be observed also if the Board member leaves the Board.

The Nomination Committee proposes that the fee to the chairman of the Board shall amount to SEK 1,400,000 and that the fee to each of the other Board members elected by the Annual General Meeting shall amount to SEK 550,000. The fee to each of the ordinary employee representatives shall amount to SEK 26,250. The fee for the ordinary work of the Board shall therefore in total amount to SEK 4,752,500.
 

The Nomination Committee proposes that the fee to the chairman of the Audit Committee shall amount to SEK 225,000 and that the fee to each of the other ordinary members shall amount to SEK 110,000.

The Nomination Committee proposes that the fee to the chairman of the Remuneration Committee shall amount to SEK 150,000 and that the fee to each of the other ordinary members shall amount to SEK 60,000.

The total fee for the Audit Committee and the Remuneration Committee shall not exceed SEK 655,000.

The Nomination Committee proposes that the auditor's fee shall be paid in accordance with approved account.

Proposal for election of the Board (item 11)

 

The Nomination Committee proposes: Re-election of the Board members Per Bertland, Sonat Burman-Olsson, Viveka Ekberg, Anette Frumerie, Marcus Hedblom, Peter Nilsson and Staffan Pehrson.

The Nomination Committee proposes Peter Nilsson to be the chairman of the Board.

Proposal for election of auditor (item 12)

In accordance with the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Nomination Committee proposes re-election of the registered audit firm Deloitte AB as the Company’s auditor for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting. Deloitte AB has informed the Company that the authorized public accountant Harald Jagner shall be the lead auditor.

Proposal for resolution regarding the Nomination Committee (item 13)

The Nomination Committee shall consist of at least four members, one of whom shall be the chairman of the Board. The chairman of the Board shall, no later than at the end of the third quarter of the year before the Annual General Meeting, contact the three largest shareholders listed in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden as of 31 August each year, and request them to appoint their representative to the Nomination Committee without delay. If a shareholder refrains from exercising its right to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee, the right to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee will pass on to the next largest shareholder that has not appointed a member of the Nomination Committee, whereby no more than ten shareholders need to be asked. Thereafter, the Nomination Committee may be constituted with three members. The chairman of the Nomination Committee shall be the member that has been appointed by the largest shareholder unless the Nomination Committee decides otherwise. The chairman of the Board shall not be appointed chairman of the Nomination Committee.

The tasks of the Nomination Committee shall include evaluation of the composition and work of the Board, as well as submission of proposals to the Annual General Meeting regarding:

- election of the Board and chairman of the Board

- election of chairman for the upcoming Annual General Meeting

- election of auditor

- fees to the Board of Directors, any Board committees and the auditor

The mandate period of the Nomination Committee will run until a new Nomination Committee is constituted. In the event of a substantial change of ownership in the Company during the mandate period, the Nomination Committee shall invite the new major owner representation in the Nomination Committee. If a member appointed by a shareholder resigns during the mandate period, the shareholder shall have the right to appoint a new member within a time frame as decided by the Nomination Committee. No change in the composition of the Nomination Committee shall take place in the event that changes in the ownership structure occur later than two months prior to the Annual General Meeting.

The composition of the Nomination Committee shall be made public at least six months prior to the upcoming Annual General Meeting. The members of the Nomination Committee receive no remuneration from the Company but shall have the right to reimbursements from the Company for reasonable expenses.

This instruction for the Nomination Committee shall be valid until the Annual General Meeting decides otherwise.

Proposal for approval of remuneration report (item 14)

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to approve the Board’s remuneration report pursuant to Chapter 8, Section 53a of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551).
 

Guidelines for the remuneration to senior executives (item 15)

The Board proposes that the 2024 Annual General Meeting resolves that the following guidelines for remuneration to senior executives shall apply until further notice, unless circumstances arise that require revision.

These guidelines include the CEO and other members of the group management. The guidelines are applicable to remuneration agreed, and amendments to remuneration already agreed. The guidelines do not apply to any remuneration resolved or approved by the general meeting.

The guidelines’ promotion of the Company’s business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability
Lindab’s business strategy is founded on the Company’s internal strengths and unique opportunities to harness global trends and is in brief:

To propel our position on all markets with the aid of our strong distribution network, our wide and increasingly complete product offering and our close relationships with customers. To create higher value through our supply chain, from purchasing to distribution, by simplifying, rationalising, innovating and having a customer-oriented holistic focus. To generate ideas on the cutting edge and for continuous improvement that will ensure future growth and profitability through Lindab’s long-term innovative culture, strong leadership and brand.

For additional information on the Company’s business strategy, see www.lindabgroup.com.

To successfully implement the Company’s business strategy and sustainability plan in the long and short term, the Company must be able to recruit and retain qualified senior executives. An important component is being able to offer a competitive total remuneration, as enabled by these guidelines.

The variable cash remuneration covered by these guidelines shall aim at promoting the business strategy and long-term interests of the Company.

For information, the Company has implemented long-term incentive programs in the form of option programs, as adopted by the Annual General Meeting in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 2022and 2023. The programs comprise senior executives in the Company. As the option programs were adopted by the Annual General Meeting, they are not included in these guidelines. For more information on the programs and the qualification criteria, see www.lindabgroup.com.

Remuneration components and other terms for senior executives
The total remuneration shall be on market terms and may consist of the following components: fixed cash salary, variable cash remuneration, pension benefits and other benefits. In addition to what is determined by the guidelines, the Annual General Meeting may resolve on, among other things, share-related or share price-related remuneration.

The qualification period for the criteria for awarding variable cash remuneration shall be measured over a period of one or several years. The variable cash remuneration may not exceed 170% for the CEO and 100% for other senior executives during the measurement period for such criteria.

For all Company senior executives (who are not included in the collectively bargained pension benefit, ITP), a pension premium on the fixed cash salary may not exceed 30%. Variable cash remuneration shall not qualify for pension benefits.

Other benefits may include, for example, life insurance, medical insurance (Sw: sjukvårds-försäkring) and company cars. Premiums and other associated costs relating to such benefits may not collectively exceed 10% of the fixed cash salary. For senior executives acting in another country, pension benefits and other benefits are to be regulated according to established or mandatory local praxis, and any adjustments to these must remain within the framework of these guidelines to the greatest extent possible.

 

Termination of employment
For senior executives terminated at the Company's initiative, a maximum notice period of 12 months applies. A notice period of maximum six months applies when termination is made by the executive.

Criteria for awarding variable cash remuneration
Variable cash remuneration shall be linked to predetermined and measurable criteria which may be financial or non-financial in nature but that are clearly in line with the Company's predefined financial, sustainable or qualitative targets. In addition, they may also be individualized, quantitative or qualitative objectives. The criteria shall be designed so as to promote the Company’s business strategy and long-term interests for continued profitable and sustainable growth.

When the qualification period for the criteria for awarding variable cash remuneration has ended, the outcome will be assessed. The outcome assessment is managed in accordance with the grandfather principle. The assessment is based on financial targets as per the Company's most recent published financial information. 

The possibility of reclaiming variable salary is determined by the terms and conditions that apply for the program at the time.

Salary and employment conditions for employees
In preparing and applying these guidelines, the remuneration committee and the Board consider the salary and terms of employment of the Company's other employees, which in turn are affected by general market conditions and internal factors that affect the Company's goal fulfillment. The remuneration committee regularly consults with the CEO and HR Director to stay informed about other employees' salaries and other terms.

The decision-making process to determine, review and implement the guidelines
The Board’s established remuneration committee is tasked with preparing the Board’s decision to propose guidelines for executive remuneration. The Board shall prepare a proposal for new guidelines at least every fourth year and submit it to the Annual General Meeting. Adopted guidelines shall be in force until new guidelines are adopted by the Annual General Meeting.

In addition, the remuneration committee shall monitor and evaluate programs for variable remuneration for the Company's executives as well as the application of the guidelines with regard to compensation levels and structures. The members of the executive management do not participate in the Board’s processing of and resolutions regarding remuneration-related matters in so far as they are affected by such matters. The Board shall annually draw up a remuneration report which shall be presented to the Annual General Meeting for approval.

Derogation from the guidelines
The Board may temporarily resolve to derogate from the guidelines, in whole or in part, if in a specific case there is special cause for the derogation and a derogation is necessary to serve the Company’s long-term interests, including its sustainability, or to ensure the Company’s financial viability. As set out above, the remuneration committee’s tasks include preparing the Board’s resolutions in remuneration-related matters. This includes any resolutions to derogate from the guidelines.

Significant changes to the guidelines and how shareholder interests are harnessed
In essence, the guidelines proposed by the Board to the 2024 Annual General Meeting are in accordance with the guidelines that were adopted by the 2022 Annual General Meeting No remarks on the remuneration guidelines have emerged.

Proposal for resolution on a call option plan (item 16)

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting 2024 resolves to introduce a call option plan for senior executives and certain key employees in the Lindab Group (the "Call Option Plan"). In essence, the program is identical to the programs from 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.

 

The objective of the plan, and the reason for deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights, is to strengthen the link between the work of senior executives and the creation of shareholder value. By those means, it is considered that there will be an increased alignment of interests between the senior executives and the shareholders of Lindab International AB ("Lindab"). 

1. Number of call options, participants and allotment of call options
Lindab may issue up to 275,000 call options under the Call Option Plan. Senior executives and certain key employees within the Lindab Group shall have the right to participate in the Call Option Plan and shall be divided into three different categories:

 

Lindab's CEO shall have the right to acquire up to 100,000 call options. The remaining members of Lindab's Group Management Team (approx. 8 persons), shall have the right to acquire up to 50,000 call options each. Significant executives outside group management are awarded a maximum of 10,000 call options per person. The total number of persons offered an award, including group management, will amount to a maximum of 20 persons. A person who is not employed by the Lindab Group at the time of the Annual General Meeting but will commence their employment within the Lindab Group no later than 31 August 2024 shall be entitled to participate in the Call Option Plan. 

 

The call options shall be freely transferable but subject to an agreed right of first refusal in favour of Lindab to repurchase the call options at market value. 

 

Assignment of call options to employees outside of Sweden is dependent on tax effects, market assumptions and restrictions in certain jurisdictions, and that the Board assesses that the assignment of call options outside of Sweden can be executed with reasonable costs and reasonable administrative efforts. 

 

The participant is responsible for any tax consequences, possible financial support for acquiring call options or underlying shares, and for other practical handling of the call options.

2. Acquisition of call options
Acquisition of call options shall take place during an application period as soon as practically and legally possible after the Annual General Meeting. The price shall correspond to market value, calculated by an external appraiser based on the so called Black & Scholes-formula.

3. Time and price for acquisition of shares
Each call option shall entitle to acquisition of one (1) share in Lindab. The exercise price will be 119 per cent of the average volume-weighted price paid for Lindab's share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period May 15-May 28, 2024. Acquisition of shares in Lindab by exercise of call options may be made from and including the day after Lindab publishes the interim report for the period 1 January-30 June 2027, until and including 31 August 2027.

The number of shares that the call options entitle to, and the exercise price may be recalculated based on, among other things, extraordinary dividends paid, bonus issues, share splits or reverse share splits, rights issues or certain reductions of the share capital or similar actions.

4. Delivery of shares
Lindab owns 1,990,838 of its own shares of which 657,000 are subscribed to previous call option programs. The Board's proposal means that the Annual General Meeting approves that Lindab, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, to the holders of the call options transfer up to 275,000 of its own shares at the determined exercise price in connection with a possible exercise of the call options (subject to any recalculation).

5. Costs and effects on key ratios etc.
The market value of the call options is SEK 30.20 per call option, according to a preliminary valuation. The preliminary valuation is based on a market value of the underlying share of SEK 229.80 and an assumed exercise price of SEK 273.50 per share. The Black & Scholes-formula has been used for the valuation under the assumption of a risk-free interest rate of 2.61 per cent, a volatility of 28.5 per cent and a yield of 2.6 per cent. Lindab has no other costs for the Call Option Plan than administrative costs regarding advisors etc. in connection with the preparation of documentation for the resolution and for resolving on the issue of the call options etc.

If all the proposed 275,000 call options are acquired and exercised for acquisition of shares, these will constitute approx. 0.35 per cent of the current total number of shares and votes in Lindab. Transfer of repurchased own shares will have the effect that shares which previously could not be represented at the Annual General Meeting or entitle to dividend can after the transfer be represented at the Annual General Meeting and will entitle to dividend.

6. The preparation of the proposal
The Call Option Plan has been prepared by the remuneration committee of the Board and has been discussed at Board meetings during the spring 2024.

7. Other incentive plans in Lindab
Lindab has three previous outstanding option-based incentive programs decided at the Annual General Meetings 2021, 2022 and 2023. Further information is available in the Lindab Annual Reports of 2022 and 2023 and on Lindab’s website www.lindabgroup.com. Long-term variable remuneration in cash in Lindab follows from the proposal regarding guidelines for remuneration to senior executives.

8. Special authorization for the CEO
The CEO of Lindab is authorized to make such minor adjustments to the resolution by the Annual General Meeting that may be required for registration with Euroclear Sweden AB.

9. The Board's proposed resolution
Referring to the description above, the Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on the Call Option Plan.

10. Majority requirements
A resolution on the Call Option Plan in accordance with the Board's proposal is valid if it is supported by shareholders representing more than nine tenths of the votes cast and the shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.

Authorisation for the Board to resolve on repurchase and transfer of own shares (item 17)
 

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorizes the Board to, on one or several occasions during the period up until the next Annual General Meeting, resolve on repurchase of own shares on the following conditions.

• Repurchase of shares may be made at a maximum of so many shares that the company’s holding does not exceed ten (10) percent of the total number of shares in the company from time to time.
• Repurchase of shares may be made on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price per share within the share price interval registered at that time, where share price interval means the difference between the highest buying price and the lowest selling price. 
• Payment for the repurchased own shares shall be made in cash.
• The Board may resolve on other terms and conditions for the repurchase.

Furthermore, the Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorizes the Board to, on one or several occasions during the period up until the next Annual General Meeting, resolve on transfer of the company’s own shares in accordance with the following.

• The maximum number of shares to be transferred may not exceed the number of shares held by the company at the time of the transfer. 
• Transfer may be made with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right on Nasdaq Stockholm as well as to third parties in connection with acquisition of a company or a business.
• Payment for transferred shares can be made in cash, through an issue in kind or set-off.
• Payment for transferred shares on Nasdaq Stockholm may only occur at a price per share within the share price interval registered at that time, where share price interval means the difference between the highest buying price and the lowest selling price.
• Transfer in connection with acquisitions may be made at a market value assessed by the Board.
• The Board may resolve on other terms and conditions for the transfer.

The purpose of the authorizations is to give the Board the possibility to adjust the company’s capital structure and thereby contribute to increased shareholder value and to be able to exploit attractive acquisition opportunities by fully or partly financing future acquisitions with the company’s own shares.

The Board has presented a motivated statement pursuant to Chapter 19, Section 22 of the Swedish Companies Act. The statement is available at the company and on the company’s website.

A resolution in accordance with this proposal requires approval from shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the number of votes cast as well as the shares represented at the general meeting in order to be valid.

Authorisation for the Board to resolve on issue of shares, warrants and/or convertibles (item 18)

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorizes the Board to, on one or several occasions during the period up until the next Annual General Meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right, resolve on new issues of shares, warrants and/or convertibles. The authorization shall also include the right to resolve on new issues of shares, warrants and/or convertibles with terms concerning issues in kind, offset rights or other terms stated in Chapter 13, Section 5, first paragraph 6, Chapter 14, Section 5, first paragraph 6, and Chapter 15, Section 5, first paragraph 4 in the Swedish Companies Act. By resolutions in accordance with the authorization, the number of shares may be increased by a number corresponding to a maximum of ten (10) percent of the number of outstanding shares in the company at the time when the Board first uses the authorization.

The purpose of the authorization and the reasons for a potential deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights as set out above is to carry out and finance acquisitions of companies, part of companies or businesses or to strengthen the company’s capital base and equity/assets ratio, alternatively to enable a broadening of the ownership of the company with one or several owners of strategic importance to the company. Such issues may not require amendment of the Articles of Associations applicable from time to time. In case of deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, issues by virtue of the authorization shall be made on market conditions. In accordance with the conditions set out above, the Board shall also be authorized to resolve on other terms as considered necessary by the Board to carry out the issues.

The Managing Director, or anyone appointed by the Managing Director, shall have the right to make any adjustments that may be necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket).

A resolution in accordance with this proposal requires approval from shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the number of votes cast as well as the shares represented at the general meeting in order to be valid.
