Nomination committee

The annual general meeting decided that the Nomination Committee shall consist
of representatives of at least three and not more than five of the largest
shareholders in terms of voting (by groups of owners) as of the last business
day in August, along with the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The names of
the members of the Nomination Committee and the names of the shareholders they
have designated are to be published not later than six months before the annual
general meeting.

Convertible debentures for staff

It was decided that ÅF AB shall raise a convertible subordinated loan of a
nominal maximum of SEK 200 000 000 by the issuance of convertible debentures. If
the conversion rate at the moment of issue will be determined at an amount which
would lead to a dilution after full conversion by more than 2% of the share
capital, the maximum loan amount shall be reduced so that the maximum dilution
will be 2%. The subscription price for each convertible should correspond to its
nominal amount. Subscribers shall be the employees of the ÅF group in Sweden.

Employees are to be guaranteed a minimum allocation of between SEK 20 000 and
SEK 1 000 000, whereas the highest possible award ranges from SEK 60 000 to SEK
3 000 000. It was also decided, to counteract the diluting the conversion
otherwise can result in, that the Board is authorised to acquire as many shares
as subscribed convertible debentures convert into, and it was decided to reduce
the share capital corresponding to the number of shares equal to the number of
convertible debentures subscribed to.

Performance Share Program

The establishment of the Performance Share Program 2013, for which only
employees outside Sweden are eligible, was decided. The program includes a
maximum of 80 000 shares of series B. Employees subscribing to the program will
be able to save an amount equal to a maximum of 5% of gross compensation for the
purchase of shares of series B on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm during a 12-month
period. If the purchased shares are retained by the employees for three years
from the date of the investment and the employees are then still with the ÅF
Group, they will be allocated an equal number of shares of series B, free of any
charge. In addition to the regular match in accordance with the above, the
employees will also be offered performance matching shares conditional on the
result of the ÅF group.

The Board was authorized to, until the annual general meeting in 2014, to decide
on the acquisition and transfer of more than 80 000 own shares of series B on
Nasdaq OMX Stockholm at a price within the registered price interval at any
time. Such authorization is required for delivery of the shares to participants
in Performance Share Program in 2013 and to secure the ancillary costs.
