Resolution on guidelines for remuneration of senior executives (item 15)
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on principally
the following guidelines for remuneration of senior executives.

The guidelines shall apply for remuneration and other terms of employment for
the executive management of the group which includes the CEO, all persons
reporting directly to the CEO and the Executive Vice President of Corporate
Development and M&A who reports to the board (“Executives”). The guiding
principles will be valid for employment agreements entered into after the
meeting and for any changes made to existing employment agreements thereafter.
It is proposed that the board is given the possibility to deviate from the guide
lines in individual cases where specific reasons exist.

Compensation components: The group compensation system comprises different forms
of compensation in order to create a well balanced remuneration which
strengthens and underpins long and short term objective setting and attainment. 

Fixed salary: The fixed salary shall be individual and based on the scope and
responsibility of the role as well as the individual's competence and experience
in relation to the role held.

Annual bonus: Executives shall have an annual bonus with annual measurement and
payment. The annual bonus shall be structured as a variable component of the
total cash remuneration package and shall primarily be related to the
achievement of common group financial performance goals. The goals for the
annual incentive shall be established annually by the board so as to sustain the
business strategy and objectives. 

Looking forward, the board recognizes that the Executives of the company will
face serious challenges in returning the company to sustained profitability.  To
motivate them appropriately and at the same time to limit the company's fixed
payroll costs, the board takes a view that wherever appropriate, it should seek
to minimize the fixed element of cash compensation and maximize the bonus
element of performance related cash compensation. Executives, excluding the CEO,
shall have a bonus level in the range from 40 percent to a maximum of 70 percent
of base salary, relative to their position. The CEO shall have a target bonus of
100 percent of base salary, which may be increased to 150 percent of the base
salary if targets are exceeded. The CFO shall have a target bonus which may be
increased to a maximum of 88 percent if company targets are exceeded. These are
also the levels that apply today with the exception for the CFO's target bonus
which cannot exceed 50 percent.

Pension: The company shall make contributions for the Executives into defined
contribution schemes, which shall be in the range of 8 - 25 percent of the
salary. The pension able age for Swedish citizens is 65 years while other
Executives follow the rules of their respective countries of residence. 

Other benefits: Other benefits, such as company cars and health, medical and
sickness related insurance schemes, should be in line with the market practice
for the respective geographic market.

Stock based incentive program: An incentive scheme based on stock options and
aimed at the CEO and senior management of the IBS Group was resolved by an
Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders 15 January 2009. In total no more
than 1 865 052 stock options will be granted in 2010.

Notice periods and severance agreements: The employment of the CEO and President
of the company may end at any time upon the initiative of him or the company
with 3 months notice. Other senior executives must provide a period of between 3
and 12 months notice to the company.  The notice required from the company is
between 6 and 12 months. Severance agreements will in principle not be signed,
with the exception for the CEO and President who may be granted a maximum of 12
months severance pay. In a redundancy situation, the current practice in the
geographic market where the executive is resident will apply. The same
principles shall apply under these guidelines.
