Resolution to approve an employee ownership program
The AGM resolved in accordance with the Board's proposal to approve three employee ownership programs for 2018, 2019 and 2020 with the aim that the Programs should cover as far as possible all employees in the Group. The purpose of the Programs is to increase the ability to retain and recruit employees in the Group.

To be able to participate in the Programs, the participants are required to purchase and retain shares of Class B in Serneke during the term of the Programs. Participants who retain the Savings Shares during the Savings Period and, in addition, are employed by the Group throughout the Savings Period, will receive, after the expiration of the respective Savings Period, 0.5 shares of Class B in Serneke (the “Matching Shares”) for each Savings Share attributable to such Savings Period at no cost. In addition to Matching Shares, participants will be able to obtain additional shares of Class B in Serneke (the “Performance Shares”), provided that the participant is employed in the Group throughout the Savings Period and that certain performance conditions are met.

The maximum number of shares under included in the Programs amounts to 1,353,120 Class B shares, corresponding to approximately 5.5 percent of the number of issued shares after dilution and approximately 1.9 percent of the votes after dilution.

The AGM resolved in accordance with the Board's proposal that the Company’s obligations to deliver Matching Shares and Performance Shares under the Programs shall be secured by the Company repurchasing own Class B shares, which may subsequently be transferred free of charge to participants in the Programs. The AGM authorized the Board of Directors, on one or more occasions until the next Annual General Meeting, to resolve to repurchase a total of 1,778,271 own Class B shares. The authorization to repurchase shares is also including the number of Class B shares required to secure certain costs related to the Programs, mainly social security contributions.

Resolution regarding the adoption of guidelines for remuneration to senior executives
The AGM approved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, the guidelines for remuneration and other employment terms for senior executives.

Board resolution regarding the repurchase of shares
At the constituent board meeting following the AGM, the Board of Directors of Serneke Group AB resolved to utilize the authorization for repurchase of own shares granted at the AGM. Repurchases can only be made of a total of 1,778,271 Class B shares in Serneke Group AB, on one or more occasions, but not later than the AGM 2019. Acquisitions shall take place at Nasdaq Stockholm and at a price within the price range registered at any given time, i.e. the range between the highest bid price and the lowest offer price. Payment for shares repurchased shall be in cash.

The purpose of the authorization is to ensure the delivery of Matching Shares and Performance Shares to participants pursuant to the Programs, as well as to hedged costs of the Company, mainly social security contributions, attributable to these programs
