The Nomination Committee proposes that the Board of Directors, for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, shall consist of seven shareholder-elected members without deputies. The Nomination Committee further proposes that the company shall have one auditor without a deputy.

 

Resolution on fees to the Board members and auditor (item 11)

The Nomination Committee proposes that fees to the Board remain unchanged for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, with SEK 515,000 to the Chair of the Board, SEK 250,000 to other shareholder-elected members who are independent in relation to the company's major shareholders, and SEK 200,000 to other shareholder-elected members who are dependent in relation to the company's major shareholders.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL

Appropriation of the company's profit in accordance with the adopted balance sheet (item 9 b)

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolve that the company's profit, as shown in the adopted income statement, be appropriated so that of the company's available earnings of SEK 3,792 million, a dividend to shareholders shall be paid in an amount corresponding to SEK 0.64 per share, and that the remaining amount be carried forward. It is proposed that the dividend be distributed in four installments of SEK 0.16 per share. The first record date is proposed to be 12 May 2025, the second 18 August 2025, the third 17 November 2025, and the fourth 16 February 2026. If the meeting resolves in accordance with the Board's proposal, the dividend is expected to be paid through Euroclear Sweden AB on 15 May 2025, 21 August 2025, 20 November 2025, and 19 February 2026.

 

The first time a dividend can be paid on shares that may be issued under the authorization for new share issues in item 17 below will be on the payment date following the first record date after the new shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and entered into the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB.

 

Resolution on approval of the remuneration report (item 14)

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting approve the Board's remuneration report regarding compensation in accordance with Chapter 8, Section 53 a of the Swedish Companies Act.

 

Resolution on guidelines for remuneration to senior executives (item 15)

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting adopt the following guidelines for remuneration to senior executives. These guidelines cover members of the company's Board of Directors and members of the company's Group Management. The guidelines shall apply to remuneration agreed upon, and changes made to already agreed remuneration, after the guidelines have been adopted by the Annual General Meeting. The guidelines remain in effect until the Annual General Meeting resolves to adopt new guidelines. The guidelines do not apply to remuneration decided by the Annual General Meeting.

 

Promotion of the company's business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability

The company's business strategy is, in brief, to focus geographically on southern Sweden, primarily in Småland along the "West Swedish Triangle", and to own and manage high-yielding commercial and residential properties on a long-term basis. With local presence, creativity and sound business acumen, the company aims to develop and create value in its property portfolio to achieve optimal conditions for stable cash flow, continued expansion and a strong reputation.

 

For further information about the company's vision, business concept and strategy, see the company's website www.nivika.se.

 

The Board considers that successful implementation of the company's business strategy and safeguarding of its long-term interests, including sustainability, require the company to recruit and retain senior executives with the competence and capacity to achieve set goals. To this end, the company must offer competitive remuneration that motivates senior executives to perform at their best. These guidelines enable the company to offer a competitive total remuneration.

 

If share-related incentive programs are established, these shall be decided by the Annual General Meeting and are therefore not covered by these guidelines.

 

Variable cash remuneration covered by these guidelines shall aim to promote the company's business strategy and long-term interests, including sustainability.

 

 

 

 

 

Forms of remuneration

Remuneration shall be market-based and may consist of the following components: fixed cash salary, variable cash remuneration, pension benefits and other benefits. In addition, the Annual General Meeting may - independently of these guidelines - resolve on, for example, share-based or share price-related remuneration.

 

Variable cash remuneration

Fulfilment of criteria for payment of variable cash remuneration shall be measurable over a period of one or more years. Variable cash remuneration may amount to a maximum of 100 percent of the total fixed cash salary during the measurement period for such criteria.

 

Variable cash remuneration shall be linked to predetermined and measurable criteria, which may be financial or non-financial. They may also consist of individual quantitative or qualitative goals. The criteria shall be designed to promote the company's business strategy and long-term interests, including sustainability, for example by linking to the business strategy or by creating increased alignment of interests between senior executives and the company's shareholders.

 

When the measurement period for fulfilment of criteria for payment of variable cash remuneration has ended, the extent to which the criteria have been met shall be assessed/determined. The Board is responsible for the assessment regarding variable cash remuneration to the CEO and, where applicable, to Board members. The CEO is responsible for the assessment regarding variable cash remuneration to other senior executives. For financial targets, the assessment shall be based on the company's most recently published financial information.

 

Pension m.m.

For the CEO, pension benefits, including health insurance, shall be defined contribution. Variable cash remuneration shall not be pensionable. Pension premiums for defined contribution pensions shall amount to a maximum of 30 percent of the fixed annual cash salary. The stated limit for pension contributions shall not prevent salary exchange of cash salary for pension contributions in accordance with the company's prevailing policy.

 

For other senior executives, pension benefits, including health insurance, shall be defined contribution unless the executive is covered by defined benefit pension under mandatory collective agreement provisions. Variable cash remuneration shall be pensionable to the extent required by mandatory collective agreement provisions applicable to the executive. Pension premiums for defined contribution pensions shall amount to a maximum of 30 percent of the fixed annual cash salary. The stated limit for pension contributions shall not prevent salary exchange of cash salary for pension contributions in accordance with the company's prevailing policy.

 

Insurance and other benefits

Other benefits may include, for example, life insurance, health insurance and car benefit. Such benefits may amount to a maximum of 15 percent of the fixed annual cash salary.

 

Termination of employment

In the event of termination by the company, the notice period may be a maximum of 12 months. Fixed cash salary during the notice period and severance pay may not exceed an amount corresponding to the fixed cash salary for two years. In the event of termination by the senior executive, the notice period may be a maximum of 12 months, without entitlement to severance pay.


In addition, compensation may be paid for any non-compete undertaking. Such compensation shall compensate for any loss of income and shall only be paid to the extent that the former senior executive has no right to severance pay. The compensation shall amount to a maximum of 100 percent of the fixed cash salary at the time of termination, unless otherwise required by mandatory collective agreement provisions, and shall be paid during the period the non-compete undertaking applies, which shall be a maximum of 12 months after termination of employment.

 

Consideration of current salary and employment conditions for employees

In preparing the Board's proposal for these remuneration guidelines, current salary and employment conditions for the company's employees have been considered by including information on employees' total remuneration, remuneration components and remuneration increases and rate of increase over time as part of the Board's decision-making basis when evaluating the reasonableness of the guidelines and the limitations resulting from them. The development of the gap between senior executives' remuneration and other employees' remuneration will be reported in the remuneration report ahead of the next Annual General Meeting.

 

Decision-making process for establishing, reviewing and implementing the guidelines

The Board as a whole performs the remuneration-related tasks normally assigned to a remuneration committee. These tasks include preparing proposals for guidelines for remuneration to senior executives. The Board shall prepare proposals for new guidelines when there is a need for significant changes and present the proposal for resolution at the Annual General Meeting, but at least every four years. The Board shall also monitor and evaluate programs for variable remuneration for company management, application of guidelines for remuneration to senior executives and current remuneration structures and remuneration levels in the company.

 

To avoid conflicts of interest, Board members participating in the handling and decision-making of remuneration matters for senior executives shall be independent in relation to the company and company management. When the Board handles and decides on remuneration-related matters, persons in company management or the Board shall not be present to the extent they are affected by the matters. External advice may be used in the preparation of remuneration-related matters when deemed necessary.

 

If the Board decides to establish a remuneration committee, what is stated in these guidelines regarding the Board in its capacity as the company's remuneration committee shall apply to the remuneration committee.

 

Deviation from the guidelines

The Board may decide to temporarily deviate from the guidelines, in whole or in part, if there are special reasons for doing so in an individual case and a deviation is necessary to meet the company's long-term interests, including sustainability, or to ensure the company's financial viability. Any such deviations shall be reported in the remuneration report ahead of the next Annual General Meeting.

 

Resolution on authorization for the Board to resolve on acquisition of own shares (item 16 a)

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorize the Board, on one or more occasions before the next Annual General Meeting, to resolve on the acquisition of own shares on essentially the following terms:

 

  1. Acquisitions of own shares shall take place on Nasdaq Stockholm.
  2. Acquisitions may be made so that the company's holding of own shares amounts to no more than one-tenth of all shares in the company.
  3. Acquisitions on Nasdaq Stockholm shall be made for cash at a price within the prevailing price range, meaning the range between the highest bid price and the lowest ask price.

 

The purpose of the proposed authorization to acquire own shares is to enable an improvement of the company's capital structure, to facilitate transfers of shares in accordance with the Board's proposal for authorization to transfer own shares, and to provide the Board with increased flexibility in connection with potential future acquisitions of companies, businesses or properties by enabling quick and cost-effective financing through payment with or disposal of own shares, as well as to broaden the company's institutional ownership base through the disposal of own shares.


The Board, or a person appointed by the Board, shall have the right to make such minor adjustments to the resolution as may be required due to formal requirements.

 

 

 

Resolution on authorization for the Board to resolve on transfer of own shares (item 16 b)

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorize the Board, on one or more occasions before the next Annual General Meeting, to resolve on the transfer of own shares on essentially the following terms:

 

  1. Transfers of own shares may take place either on Nasdaq Stockholm or in another manner.
  2. Transfers of own shares may be made with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights.
  3. No more shares than those held by the company at the time of the Board's resolution on the transfer may be transferred.
  4. Transfers on Nasdaq Stockholm shall be made at a price within the prevailing price range, meaning the range between the highest bid price and the lowest ask price. Transfers in another manner shall be made at a minimum price determined in close connection with the share's market price at the time of the Board's resolution on the transfer.
  5. Payment for transferred shares may be made in cash, by contribution in kind or by set-off.
  6. The Board shall have the right to determine other terms for the transfer, which shall, however, be market-based.

 

The purpose of the proposed authorization to transfer own shares and the reason for deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to enable an improvement of the company's capital structure and to provide the Board with increased flexibility in connection with potential future acquisitions of companies, businesses or properties by enabling quick and cost-effective financing through payment with or disposal of own shares, as well as to broaden the company's institutional ownership base through the disposal of own shares.


The Board, or a person appointed by the Board, shall have the right to make such minor adjustments to the resolution as may be required due to formal requirements.

 

Resolution on authorization for new share issues (item 17)

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorize the Board, during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, on one or more occasions, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, to resolve on new issues of shares, warrants and/or convertibles corresponding to a maximum of ten percent of the total number of outstanding shares in the company. The authorization shall also include the right to resolve on new issues of shares, warrants (with or without consideration) and/or convertibles with provisions on contribution in kind, set-off or otherwise with conditions in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act. Cash or set-off issues made with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights shall be made on market terms.


The reason for the proposal and the possibility to deviate from the shareholders' preferential rights is to provide flexibility in connection with potential acquisitions or capital raising.


The Board, or a person appointed by the Board, shall have the right to make such minor adjustments to the resolution as may be required in connection with registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or due to other formal requirements.

MAJORITY REQUIREMENTS

Resolutions under items 16 a (authorization to acquire own shares), 16 b (authorization to transfer own shares) and 17 (authorization for new share issues) are valid only if supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

 

DOCUMENTS

All documents required under the Swedish Companies Act will be available at the company and on the company's website no later than Thursday, 17 April 2025, and will be sent immediately and free of charge to shareholders who request them and provide their postal address. The documents will also be available at the meeting.

 

NUMBER OF SHARES AND VOTES

The total number of shares in the company at the time of issuing this notice is 95,885,594 shares, corresponding to a total of 319,848,794 votes. At the same time, the company holds 1,297,353 own Class B shares.

 

INFORMATION AT THE MEETING

The Board of Directors and the CEO shall, if any shareholder so requests and the Board considers that it can be done without causing significant harm to the company, provide information at the meeting regarding circumstances that may affect the assessment of an item on the agenda, circumstances that may affect the assessment of the company's or its subsidiaries' financial situation, the consolidated accounts and the company's relationship to other group companies.
