Plan 2015 and a Performance Share Plan 2015. The conditions for the LTI 2015
correspond to the conditions for the LTI 2014. LTI 2015 comprises a maximum of
1,340,000 shares of series B.

The Share Matching Plan 2015 covers all employees within the Saab Group. The
participants can save up to 5 percent of the base salary, for purchase of Saab
shares of series B during twelve months. If the purchased shares are retained by
the employee for three years and employment within the Saab Group continues, the
employee will be granted a corresponding number of shares by Saab free of
consideration. The program covers a maximum of 900,000 shares of series B.

The Performance Share Plan 2015 is directed at a maximum of 175 key people,
including the President. The participants can save up to 7.5 percent of the base
salary for purchase of shares of series B during twelve months. If the purchased
shares are retained by the employee for three years and employment within the
Saab Group continues, the employee will be entitled to matching of performance
shares, free of consideration, provided that the performance targets are met.
The program gives the employee the right to 2-7 performance shares for each
purchased share, depending on the group belonging. The number of performance
shares is linked to the performance targets established by the Board of
Directors. The conditions for the performance matching are based on three
independent targets: organic sales growth, EBIT margin and free cash flow during
the financial year 2016. The performance targets are established by the Board of
Directors with a minimum level and a maximum level for each respective
performance target. The Performance Share Plan 2015 comprises of a maximum
number of 440,000 shares of series B in Saab.

The Annual General Meeting also decided to authorize the Board of Directors to
decide on acquisition of own shares of series B in Saab of a maximum of
1,340,000 shares to secure delivery of shares to participants in Saab’s
incentive program and for subsequent transfers on the stock exchange to cover
certain costs associated with LTI 2015, mainly social security costs. The
Shareholders’ Meeting further decided that no more than 1,340,000 shares of
series B may be transferred, free of consideration, to participants in LTI 2015.
Transfers of shares of series B in Saab shall be made at the time and on the
other terms and conditions that apply to participants in LTI 2015, i.e. normally
during the financial year 2019 and in January 2020.
Acquisition and transfer of own shares
The Annual General Meeting decided on authorizing the Board to, before the next
Annual General Meeting, decide on the acquisition of own shares of series B up
to a maximum of 10 percent of the total number of shares in the Company. The
purpose of the authorization is to be able to adjust the Company’s capital
structure and thereby contribute to an increased shareholder value as well as to
enable a continuous use of acquired shares in connection with potential
acquisitions of companies and for the Company’s share-related incentive
programs.

The Annual General Meeting also decided on authorizing the Board of Directors
to, before the next Annual General Meeting, decide on transfer of own shares in
connection with acquisition of companies. The purpose of the authorization is to
provide the Board of Directors with increased scope for action in connection
with financing of acquisitions of companies.

consideration of earlier years established incentive programs, before the next
Annual General Meeting, over the stock exchange transfer a maximum of 1,200,000
