- Six board members (with no deputy board members) shall be appointed and the number of auditors shall be one authorised audit firm.
 -The remuneration to the Board of Directors, for the period until the end of the 2027 Annual General Meeting, shall be allocated as follows (2025 remuneration in brackets): the chairperson shall receive SEK 500,000 (500,000) and the other members elected by the Annual General Meeting, who are not employed by the company, shall receive SEK 250,000 (250,000).

Furthermore, re-election is proposed of Kenneth Bengtsson as chairperson of the Board. Carl-Mikael Lindholm has declined re-election. Additionally, in order to align the composition of the Board with the Swedish Corporate Governance Code, which recommends a clear separation between the Board and executive management, CEO Rickard Lyko has decided to step down from his position as a board member.

Item 8 - Proposal for the appropriation of profits

Item 14 - Resolution on principles for the appointment of the Nomination Committee
The Nomination Committee proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on principles for the appointment of the Nomination Committee for the 2027 Annual General Meeting as set out below.
 
The Nomination Committee shall consist of the chairperson of the Board of Directors and one representative of each of the four largest shareholders based on the ownership in the company at the end of the third quarter of the fiscal year. Should any of the four largest shareholders refrain from appointing a representative to the Nomination Committee, the right shall pass to the shareholder who, after these four shareholders, has the largest shareholding in the company. The chairperson of the Board shall convene the Nomination Committee. The member representing the largest shareholder shall be appointed chairperson of the Nomination Committee unless the nomination committee unanimously appoints another member.
 
If a shareholder who appointed a member of the Nomination Committee no longer belongs to the four largest shareholders, the member appointed by that shareholder shall make his or her seat available and the shareholder who has joined the four largest shareholders shall be entitled to appoint a representative to the Nomination Committee. However, unless there are special reasons, there shall be no change in the composition of the Nomination Committee if there is only a marginal change in ownership or if the change occurs later than three months before the Annual General Meeting. However, shareholders who have become one of the four largest shareholders as a result of a significant change in ownership later than three months before the General Meeting shall be entitled to appoint a representative who shall be entitled to take part in the work of the Nomination Committee and attend its meetings. In the event that a member leaves the Nomination Committee before its work is completed, the shareholder who appointed the member shall appoint a new member. If that shareholder is no longer one of the four largest shareholders, a new member shall be appointed in the order set out above. Shareholders who have appointed a representative as a member of the Nomination Committee have the right to dismiss such member and appoint a new representative as a member of the Nomination Committee.
 
Changes in the composition of the Nomination Committee shall be announced immediately. The Nomination Committee's term of office runs until a new Nomination Committee is appointed. The Nomination Committee shall fulfil its duties under the Swedish Corporate Governance Code.
