The meeting approved the Board's remuneration report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting adopted a long-term incentive program aimed at members of the Group Management and certain other key personnel in the Scandic Group, which includes a maximum of 80 participants. Scandic will, within the framework of the long-term incentive program, award participants share rights which, provided that certain conditions are met, give the right to receive one ordinary share in Scandic free of charge. In order to ensure that shares can be delivered to the participants, it was decided that Scandic should be able to enter into a share swap agreement with a third party. Scandic may also enable the delivery of shares by acquiring its own shares which are then transferred to the participants in the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting resolved to authorize the board of directors to, until the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, against cash payment or against payment by set-off or with property in kind, or otherwise with conditions, decide on the issue of new shares and\/or warrants and\/or convertibles. The number of shares that may be issued and the number of shares that may be converted\/subscribed to under the authorization shall in total amount to a maximum of a number of shares that entails an increase in the share capital, at the time of the notice of the annual general meeting, of a maximum of ten percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting resolved to authorize the board of directors to \u2013 on one or more occasions and at the latest until the next annual general meeting \u2013 decide on the acquisition and transfer of own shares. The purpose of the authorization is to be able to adapt Scandic's capital structure to the capital requirement from time to time in order to thereby contribute to increased shareholder value, to give Scandic the opportunity to transfer shares to participants in the long-term incentive program that the meeting has decided on and to hedge costs related to this program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting resolved that a maximum of 520,000 treasury shares may be transferred to participants in the long-term incentive program decided upon by the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting resolved to reduce the company's share capital by cancelling 4,030,622 shares previously repurchased by Scandic. The meeting further resolved to restore the company's share capital to its original level through a bonus issue without the issuance of new shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
