remuneration to management, principally entailing that the total remuneration
shall be competitive and in accordance with market conditions. The benefits
shall consist of fixed salary, possible variable remuneration and other
customary benefits and pension. The variable remuneration shall have an upper
limit and be related to the fixed salary. The variable remuneration shall be
based on the outcome in relation to set targets and be in line with the
interests of the shareholders. Pension benefits shall be fee-based and pension
rights shall be applicable as from the age of 65, at the earliest. The variable
remuneration shall not be pension qualifying unless local regulations provide
otherwise. The Board shall have the right to deviate from the guidelines in
individual cases if there are particular grounds for such deviation. The
complete guidelines are published on the company website
www.securitas.com/remuneration-senior-management.

Incentive scheme
The Annual General Meeting resolved on a share and cash bonus scheme, a similar
incentive scheme that has been decided for the past three Annual General
Meetings. 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 apply under the cash bonus schemes, are met.
The Annual General meeting decided that the Incentive Scheme will be 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. Further information is published on
the company website www.securitas.com/agm-2013.

CEO Comments
President and CEO Alf Göransson reported on Securitas operations during the year
2012. The presentation is published at www.securitas.com/agm-2013. The quotas
below refer to the operations:

“2012 was a difficult year. We entered the year with confident strides, but we
faced a difficult first six months of the year, largely due to weak development
in certain areas of the U.S. operations and deteriorating market conditions,
particularly in Spain. During the second half of the year we implemented an
extensive restructuring program and we are now facing the future as a much
stronger company.”

“The course of events in the problematic markets demonstrates how important it
is that we together with our customers develop optimal, cost-effective security
solutions that are suited to their budgets. The key is finding the right balance
between what should be done by security officers on site and that can be done by
specially trained security officers from a monitoring center, and to what extent
security officers or technological solutions should be used.“

“In 2012, technological security solutions constituted 6 percent of Securitas’
total sales. We have set a target to triple this share of sales, which I
consider achievable by the end of 2015. The technology is there, as is the
knowledge and the market, and we know that more technology decreases the
customers’ total cost for a satisfactory security solution. We are now ramping
up our efforts, realizing the hurry and setting even higher ambitions.”
