Proposal for Guidelines for Remuneration to Group Management (item 14 on the agenda)

The Board’s proposal for guidelines for salary and other remuneration to Group Management principally entails that the total remuneration are to be competitive and in accordance with market conditions.

The variable remuneration is to have an upper limit and be related to the fixed salary. The variable remuneration is to be based on the outcome in relation to set targets and be in line with the interests of the shareholders. Pension benefits are to be fee-based and pension rights are to be applicable as from the age of 65, at the earliest. For members of Group Management that are not subject to any collective agreement (ITP-plan), variable remuneration shall not be pension qualifying.

The Board has the right to deviate from the guidelines in individual cases if there are particular grounds for such deviation.

Proposal for a resolution on the implementation of an incentive scheme, including hedging measures through the conclusion of a share swap agreement (item 15 on the agenda)

Background and Motives

Loomis AB presently has a recurring incentive scheme resolved by the AGM 2017. In the long run, this incentive scheme will make it possible for approximately 350 of Loomis’ key-employees to become shareholders of Loomis which is important in order to further strengthen the employee ownership in Loomis’ future success and development. It is the opinion of the Board that the incentive scheme (which has been applied since 2010) has been appropriate and contributed to the creation of joint goals for key-employees and the shareholders. The Board, therefore, proposes that the AGM 2018 resolve on a new incentive scheme with terms and conditions which in essence corresponds with the terms and conditions of the incentive schemes adopted by the AGMs 2010-2017.

The proposal principally entails that 1/3 of any annual bonus earned may be paid in the form of class B shares in Loomis with delayed payment and subject to continued employment with Loomis. It is the assessment of the Board that the proposed incentive scheme will retain the group’s attractiveness as an employer.

(A) Implementation of an Incentive Scheme

The Board proposes that the AGM resolves on a share and cash bonus incentive scheme (the “Incentive Scheme”), in accordance with the following main principles. Approximately 350 employees will participate in the Incentive Scheme and thereby be entitled to receive a part of the yearly bonus in the form of shares in Loomis, provided that certain predetermined and measurable performance criteria are met. The principles already applicable under the existing incentive scheme, within the scope of the principles on remuneration to Group Management adopted by the AGM, will continue to apply. The existing principles relate to result in improvements and are set as close to the local business as possible and aim for long term profitability of the group. For parent company employees the performance-based targets are relating to earnings per share (“EPS”) for Loomis compared with previous year. For other participants in the Incentive Scheme, the performance-based targets are relating to improvement of profits of the applicable profit centre. The performance-based targets vary depending on in which part of the business the employee works, but are principally based on an annual improvement of EPS or EBITA2 within the employee’s area of responsibility. Provided that applicable performance criteria are met, the annual bonus will be determined at the outset of 2019 and be payable by (i) 2/3 in cash at the outset of 2019 and (ii) 1/3 in class B shares (the “Bonus Shares”) at the outset of 2020. The number of Bonus Shares to which each participant will be entitled shall be determined by the ratio between the available bonus and the share price at the time of determination of the bonus. Distribution of Bonus Shares in accordance with (ii) is subject to the following two conditions: (1) if the total accrued bonus amounts to less than EUR 4200, the whole bonus will be paid out in cash in accordance with (i) above, and (2) the employee must remain employed by Loomis as of the last day of February 2020, except where an employee has left his/her employment due to retirement, death or long-term disability, in which case the employee shall have a continued right to receive Bonus Shares.

Prior to the distribution of Bonus Shares, the employee will not be awarded any shareholder rights (e.g. voting rights or rights to dividend) connected to the Bonus Shares. At distribution of the Bonus Shares, the employee shall, however, be entitled to additional shares up to a value corresponding to any dividend paid as regards the Bonus Shares (based on the value of the share at the time of distribution) during the period from payment of the cash bonus until the distribution of the Bonus Shares. The Board shall be entitled to resolve on a reduction of the distribution of Bonus Shares if distribution in accordance with the above conditions – considering Loomis’ result and financial position, other circumstances regarding the group’s development, and the conditions on the stock market – would be clearly unreasonable. Participation in the Incentive Scheme presumes that such participation is lawful and that such participation in Loomis’ opinion can take place with reasonable administrative costs and economic efforts. The Board shall however be entitled to implement an alternative incentive solution for employees in such countries where participation in the Incentive Scheme is not advisable, which alternative solution shall, as far as practically possible, correspond to the terms of the Incentive Scheme.

The Board shall be responsible for the particulars and the handling of the Incentive Scheme within the frame of the above principal guidelines and shall also be entitled to make such minor adjustments which may prove necessary due to legal or administrative circumstances.

(B) Incentive Scheme Costs and Hedging Measures Based on a Share Swap Agreement

Except as stated below regarding the share swap agreement, the fact that a part of the bonus is made share related does not entail any material costs in addition to costs, such as payroll expenses and social security payments, which would follow if the Incentive Scheme would have been implemented as a completely cash-settled program.

The financial exposure of the Incentive Scheme is proposed to be hedged by Loomis entering into a share swap agreement with a third party, whereby the third party in its own name shall acquire and transfer shares in the company to employees participating in the scheme. The conclusion of a swap agreement is estimated to involve additional costs of approximately SEK 350,000.

Total Number of Shares and Effects on Important Key Ratios

The hedging measure above will have no effect on the profit per share except for the increased costs that the Incentive Scheme may entail.

The Incentive Scheme is estimated to comprise maximum 135,000 shares (based on the maximum outcome adjusted to the present number of entitled employees and an estimated share price of SEK 300) corresponding to 0.18 percent of the total number of outstanding shares and 0.13 percent of the total number of votes in Loomis.

Voting Majority

The resolutions according to (A) and (B) above shall be adopted as one resolution. In order to be valid, this resolution must be supported by shareholders representing more than half of the votes cast, or, in case of equal voting, by the opinion supported by the Chairman of the AGM.

C. Available Documentation ETC.

The following documentation will be available at the company and on the company website www.loomis.com as from 12 April 2018, will be available at the AGM and copies of the documentation will also be sent to the shareholders who so request: (i) the accounting material and the Auditor’s Report, including the Board’s proposal for guidelines for remuneration to Group Management, (ii) the statement by the auditor on the compliance of the guidelines for remuneration to Group Management applicable since the last AGM, (iii) the complete proposal of the Board with respect to appropriation of profit and the Board’s motivated statement thereon, (iv) the Nomination Committee’s complete proposal for resolution on instructions for the appointment of the Nomination Committee and (v) the complete proposal of the Board with respect to the Incentive Scheme.

D. NUMBER OF SHARES AND VOTES IN THE COMPANY

At the time of issue of this notice, the total number of shares in the company amounts to 75,279,829, of which 3,428,520 class A shares and 71,851,309 class B shares. Class A shares entitle to ten votes. Class B shares entitle to one vote. The total number of votes in the company amounts to 106,136,509. The company holds 53,797 treasury shares.

E. INFORMATION AT THE AGM

The Board of Directors and the President shall, if any shareholder so requests, and if the Board of Directors considers that this can be done without significant harm for the company, give information on circumstances that can affect the judgment of an item on the agenda, circumstances that can affect the assessment of the financial situation of the company or its subsidiaries and the company’s relationship with another group company.
