BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS
It is proposed that Marc J.A. Beuls, Vigo Carlund, Bruce Grant, Sven Hagströmer and Håkan Ledin shall be re-elected Board members and that John Shakeshaft and Cristina Stenbeck shall be elected new members of the Board of Directors.
 
At the Annual General Meeting 2001, Pål Wingren was elected auditor and Christine Rankin Johansson was elected deputy auditor for a period of four years. At the Annual General Meeting 2002, Carl Lindgren was elected auditor and Björn Flink was elected deputy auditor for a period of four years. Since Christine Rankin Johansson has asked to be relieved, election of Mikael Winkvist as deputy auditor is proposed.
 
The above proposals are supported by shareholders representing more than 50 per cent of the votes in the company.
 
AUTHORISATION FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO ISSUE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES WITH DETACHABLE WARRANTS
To enable further stock options to be granted under the incentive programme adopted at the Annual General Meeting held on 16 May 2002, the Board of Directors proposes that the Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to, on one or several occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, issue subordinated debentures with no more than 217,300 detachable warrants.
 
The proposal is a renewal of the present authorisation to ensure the option undertaking under the incentive programme, however adjusted in regard of the number of warrants that have been issued in the scope of the programme. The right to subscribe for debentures shall, disregarding the shareholders' preferential rights, be given to wholly owned subsidiaries in the group.
 
OTHER INFORMATION
The Board of Directors complete proposal according to item 14 above will be available to the shareholders at the company offices at Skeppsbron 18 in Stockholm as of 1 May 2003. The documents will be sent to those shareholders who request them and who state their postal or email address.
