Guidelines for remuneration and other terms of employment
The Annual General Meeting decided in accordance with the Board’s proposal of
guidelines for remuneration and other terms of employment for senior executives.
The guidelines correspond to the guidelines approved by the Annual General
Meeting in 2012.

Long-term incentive program
The Annual General Meeting decided in accordance with the Board’s proposal of a
Share Matching Plan for 2013 and a Performance Share Plan for 2013. The plans
correspond to incentive programs in earlier years.
Share Matching Plan 2013 covers all employees, including those covered by the
Performance Share Plan 2013. The program gives the employees a possibility to
save up to 5 percent of the gross salary, for purchase of Saab shares of series
B to market value. If the purchased shares are retained by the employee for
three years and employment with the Saab Group continues, the employee will be
granted shares for each purchased share free of consideration. The program
covers a maximum of 1,040,000 shares of series B.
The Performance Share Plan is directed at 286 key people, including the CEO.
This program gives the employee 1-4 shares free of consideration for each
purchased share (in addition to the shares granted through the Share Matching
Plan 2013). The matching of the shares is dependent on achievement of a
performance target which is average annual growth in earnings per share between
5 and 15 per cent. The employee can, within the Performance Share Plan 2013,
save up to 7.5 percent of the gross salary for purchase of Saab shares of series
B, whereof only an amount of maximum 5 per cent of the gross salary can be the
basis for allocation of matching shares free of consideration in the Share
Matching Plan. The Performance Share Plan thus comes with a certain level of
risk and is connected to performance. The program covers a maximum of 300,000
shares of series B.
Acquisition and transfer of the Company’s own shares
The Annual General Meeting resolved on authorizing the Board to decide on the
acquisition of own shares, however only up to a maximum of 10 percent of the
total number of shares in the Company, and the transfer of own shares of series
B. The purpose of the authorization is to allow the Board an increased scope for
action in working with the Company’s capital structure or in connection with the
financing of the Company’s acquisitions as well as to give the Company the
possibility to transfer shares to the employees and secure the associated costs
under the long-term Share Matching Plans and the Performance Share Plans.
The Annual General Meeting also resolved on the transfer of a maximum of
1,040,000 shares of series B to the employees in accordance with the Share
Matching Plan 2013, and to cover mainly social security payments, as well as the
transfer of a maximum of 300,000 shares of series B to employees in accordance
with the Performance Share Plan 2013, and to cover mainly social security
payments.
The Annual General Meeting also decided that the company shall have the right
to, as a result of the Share Matching Plans 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and the
Performance Share Plans 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, before the next Annual
General Meeting, transfer a maximum of 1,200,000 shares of series B on the stock
exchange in order to cover certain expenses, mainly social security payments.
