Point 16: The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting
resolves to adopt the following Remuneration Policy for senior executives.

This Policy concerns the remuneration and other terms of employment for the
Volvo Group Executive Team. The members of the Volvo Group Executive Team,
including the President and any possible Deputy President, are in the following
referred to as the “Executives”.

This Policy will be valid for employment agreements entered into after the
approval of the Policy by the Annual General Meeting and for changes made to
existing employment agreements thereafter.

1       Guiding principles for remuneration and other terms of employment

          The guiding principle is that the remuneration and the other terms of
employment for the Executives shall be competitive in order to ensure that the
Volvo Group can attract and retain competent Executives.

The Annual Report 2014 sets out details on the total remuneration and benefits
awarded to the Executives during 2014.

2       The principles for fixed salaries

The Executive’s fixed salary shall be competitive and based on the individual
Executive’s responsibilities and performance.

3       The principal terms of variable salary and incentive schemes, including
the relation between fixed and variable components of the remuneration and the
linkage between performance and remuneration

The Executives may receive variable salaries in addition to fixed salaries. The
variable salary may, as regards the President, amount to a maximum of 75% of the
fixed annual salary and, as regards the other Executives, a maximum of 60% of
the fixed annual salary.

The variable salary may be based on inter alia the performance of the entire
Volvo Group or the performance of a certain part of the Group where the
Executive is employed. The performance will be related to the fulfilment of
various improvement targets or the attainment of certain financial objectives.
Such targets will be set by the Board and may relate to inter alia operating
income, operating margin or cash flow. The Board may under certain conditions
decide to reclaim variable salary already paid or to cancel or limit variable
salary to be paid to the Executives.

The Annual General Meeting 2014 decided to adopt a share-based incentive program
for senior executives in the Volvo Group relating to the financial years 2014,
2015 and 2016.

4       The principal terms of non-monetary benefits, pension, notice of
termination and severance pay

4.1    Non-monetary benefits

The Executives will be entitled to customary non-monetary benefits such as
company cars and company health care. In addition thereto in individual cases
company housing and other benefits may also be offered.

4.2    Pension

In addition to pension benefits which the Executives are entitled to according
to law and collective bargaining agreements, Executives resident in Sweden may
be offered two different defined-contribution plans with annual premiums. For
the first plan the annual premiums amount to SEK 30,000 plus 20% of the
pensionable salary over 30 income base amounts and for the second plan the
annual premiums amount to 10% of pensionable salary. In the two defined
-contribution plans, the pension earned will correspond to the sum of paid-in
premiums and possible return without any guaranteed level of pension received by
the employee. Further no definite retirement date is set in the two plans but
premiums will be paid for the employee until his or her 65th birthday.

Executives resident outside Sweden or resident in Sweden but having a material
connection to or having been resident in a country other than Sweden may be
offered pension benefits that are competitive in the country where the
Executives are or have been resident or to which the Executives have a material
connection, preferably defined-contribution plans.

4.3      Notice of termination and severance pay

For Executives resident in Sweden, the termination period from the Company will
be 12 months and 6 months from the Executive. In addition thereto, the
Executive, provided that termination has been made by the Company, will be
entitled to 12 months’ severance pay.

Executives resident outside Sweden or resident in Sweden but having a material
connection to or having been resident in a country other than Sweden may be
offered notice periods for termination and severance payment that are
competitive in the country where the Executives are or have been resident or to
which the Executives have a material connection, preferably solutions comparable
to the solutions applied to Executives resident in Sweden.

5       The Board’s preparation and decision-making on issues concerning
remuneration and other terms of employment for the Volvo Group Executive Team

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for (i) preparing the Board’s
decisions on issues concerning principles for remuneration, remunerations and
other terms of employment for Executives, (ii) monitoring and evaluating
programs for variable remuneration, both ongoing and those that have ended
during the year, for Executives, (iii) monitoring and evaluating the application
of this Policy, and (iv) monitoring and evaluating current remuneration
structures and levels in the Company.

The Remuneration Committee prepares and the Board decides on (i) terms of
employment and remuneration of the President and the Deputy President, if any,
and (ii) principles for remuneration (incl. pension and severance pay) for the
Executives. The Remuneration Committee shall approve proposals on remuneration
of the members of the Volvo Group Executive Team.

The Remuneration Committee is further responsible for the review and
recommendation to the Board of share and share price related incentive programs
to be decided upon by the Annual General Meeting.

6         Authority to decide on deviations from this Policy

The Board of Directors may deviate from this Policy if there are specific
reasons to do so in an individual case.
