similar incentive scheme the Annual General Meeting 2010 resolved on.
Approximately 2,500 Securitas employees previously participating in the
Securitas cash bonus schemes will participate in the Incentive Scheme
and thereby be entitled to receive a part of the yearly cash bonus in
the form of shares in Securitas, provided that certain predetermined and
measurable performance criteria, which applied under the cash bonus
schemes, are met.

hedged by the entry of Securitas 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.

CEO Comments

President and CEO Alf Göransson reported on Securitas operations during
the year 2010. The presentation is published at
www.securitas.com (http://www.securitas.com/). The quotas below refer to
the operations:

“Briefly, I could summarize Securitas' business during 2010 as
successful. Our strategy is to focus on profitability and to
differentiate ourselves from our competitors. We offer added value to
our customers through optimized and innovative security solutions. Over
the past few years, this strategy has been successful in the various
business cycles - both in difficult and in more prosperous times.”

“Today, more than one third of our sales volume is generated by
specialized branch offices that focus on one or very few customer
segments. This is gradually leading to improved margins, higher growth
and long-term and improved customer relations. ”

“Acquisitions are a key component in reaching our target of increased
earnings per share of 10 percent annually in average over time. During
2010 we completed 15 major acquisitions, with total annual sales of
approximately MSEK 4,100 and approximately 19,500 employees and expanded
our global presence with five new countries. The target is to have
operations in approximately 60 countries within three years.”
