A nomination committee consisting of Göran Carlson representing his own
shareholding, Elisabet Jamal Bergström representing Handelsbanken Fonder, Anders
Algotsson representing AFA Försäkring and Nils Blomstrand representing Nordea
Fonder was appointed in October 2015. Following the formation of the nomination
committee, Carnegie increased its shareholdings to a higher ownership percentage
than Nordea. However, the parties have agreed that the composition of the
nomination committee will not change and Nordea will perform its office. Göran
Carlson was appointed chairman of the nomination committee. The nomination
committee, which by September 30, 2015 represented 17,4 per cent of the shares
and votes in the company, proposes that the general meeting resolves in
accordance with the following:

The number of directors is proposed to be unchanged six with no deputy
directors. The nomination committee proposes re-election of: Göran Carlson,
Magnus Johansson, Staffan Jufors, Carina Olson and Annika Sten Pärson. Further,
new election of Anders Nielsen is proposed. Göran Carlson is proposed be re
-elected chairman of the board. Arne Karlsson has declined re-election.

Anders Nielsen, born in 1962, is currently Head of Business development at
Volkswagen Truck & Bus including brands such as MAN and SCANIA. After studies in
Industrial Engineering and Management at Linköpings tekniska högskola, Anders
was employed at Scania in 1987. During his first years at Scania he was
Production manager for transmissions and cabins as well as Technical director
for Latin America. In recent years, Anders has been globally responsible for
operations and logistics within Scania before he in 2012 was appointed President
for MAN Truck & Bus.

The nomination committee further proposes a registered auditing firm be elected
as the company’s auditor. The nomination committee proposes re-election of
Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers AB as the company’s auditor for the period until
the end of the annual general meeting 2017. The auditor-in-charge is Bror Frid.

Fees to the directors for the period up to and including the annual general
meeting 2017 are proposed to be slightly raised in relation to the previous
year. The chairman of the board of directors shall receive SEK 554,000 (540,000)
and each of the other directors shall receive SEK 220,000 (215,000). In
addition, unchanged consideration for committee work shall be allocated as
follows: the chairman of the audit committee SEK 100,000, each member of the
audit committee SEK 50,000, the chairman of the compensation committee SEK
50,000 and each member of the compensation committee SEK 25,000.

Fees to the auditors in respect of services performed are proposed to be paid on
current account.

Proposal for resolution on approval of guidelines for remuneration to senior
executives (item 13 on the agenda)

The remuneration to the managing director and other senior executives shall
consist of a balanced combination of fixed remuneration, annual bonus, long-term
incentive program, pension and other benefits and conditions of termination of
employment/severance payment. The total remuneration shall be in accordance with
market practice and shall be based on performance. The fixed remuneration shall
be individually determined and be based on each individual’s responsibility,
role, competence and position. The annual bonus shall be based on outcomes of
predetermined financial and individual objectives and amount to a maximum of 50
per cent of the fixed annual salary. In extraordinary situations a special
compensation may be paid out to attract and retain key competence or to induce
individuals to move to new locations of service or accept new positions. Such
compensation may not be paid out for a period longer than 36 months and may not
exceed a total maximum of two times the compensation the executive would
otherwise have received. The board of directors may propose the general meeting
to resolve on long-term incentive programs. Pension benefits shall be based on
defined contribution plans and shall (for Swedish employees) entitle to pension
by the age of 65. Upon termination by the company, the notice period for the
managing director is 12 months and for other senior executives up to 6 months.
In addition hereto, when entering into new employment contracts, agreement may
be made on severance pay up to a maximum amount corresponding to 12 months’
fixed salary. The board of directors shall be entitled to deviate from the
guidelines if there are specific reasons or needs in an individual case.

Proposals regarding the implementation of a long-term incentive program, and
hedging arrangements in respect thereof (items 14(a) – 14(b) on the agenda)

Proposal for resolution on implementing of the Program (item 14(a) on the
agenda)

The board of directors of Haldex Aktiebolag (publ) (“Haldex” or the “Company”)
proposes that the annual general meeting 2016 resolves on the implementation of
an incentive program (”LTI 2016” or the “Program”), essentially on the same
principles as the incentive program LTI 2015 which was implemented in accordance
with a resolution by the annual general meeting 2015.

The board of directors’ overall assessment is that LTI 2016 creates a uniform
and sustainable system for variable remuneration within the Haldex group (the
“Group”) and will motivate long-term creation of value by aligning the interests
of the employees with those of the shareholders.

Purpose and main features

LTI 2016 aims to:

  · create a program for variable pay that will contribute to the ability of
Haldex to retain and recruit key employees and that will ensure that Haldex’s
remuneration levels are competitive in the relevant market;
  · stimulate and motivate the employees to make efforts which will strengthen
the Company in a long-term perspective; and
  · create a long-term engagement in the Company by the employees and to align
their interests with those of the shareholders through deferred variable
remuneration in the form of shares.

In brief, LTI 2016 means that if certain performance targets (the “Performance
Targets”) are achieved during the financial year 2016 (the ”Performance Year”)
the participants in LTI 2016 (the ”Participants”) are awarded a variable
remuneration in the beginning of 2017 (the “Performance Amount”), of which 60
per cent (the “Cash Amount”) will be awarded in cash and 40 per cent (the “Share
Amount”) will be awarded in the form of employee stock options which are
conditional, non-transferable deferred rights (the “Performance Rights”) to
receive one ordinary share in Haldex for each Performance Right, automatically
during 2020 and free of charge (a “Performance Share”).

The term of LTI 2016 is four years, with vesting during the Performance Year.
After the expiry of the Performance Year, allotment of any Performance Amount
will occur. Settlement of any Cash Amount is expected to occur during the spring
2017.

Subsequent to the allotment of any Share Amount, Performance Rights will be
awarded the Participant followed by a deferral period of three years (the “Lock
-up Period”), before final transfer of Performance Shares to the Participant is
expected to occur during 2020, after the annual general meeting 2020 and before
the end of June 2020.

Deferred variable remuneration under the LTI 2016 will not be pensionable
income.

Participants

The Program will be open to approximately 24 Participants employed within the
Group, including the CEO.

Participants that during the term of LTI 2016 give or receive notice to leave or
leave the Group due to any other reason will not, as a general rule, have the
right to receive Performance Shares. Participants who enter leave of absence,
parental leave, sick leave or similar during the Performance Year and remain
employed have the right to receive Performance Shares, subject to individual
adjustments of the terms and conditions. Participants who have received
allotment of Performance Rights and after the allotment enter leave of absence,
parental leave, sick leave or similar and remain employed or retire have the
right to receive Performance Shares. The board of directors may decide to
deviate from the distinctions above both in general or in individual cases.

The board of directors shall be authorised to establish the detailed terms and
conditions for the Program. The board of directors may, in that regard, make
necessary adjustments to satisfy certain regulations or market conditions.

Participation in the Program presupposes that such participation is legally
possible in the various jurisdictions concerned and that the administrative
costs and financial efforts are reasonable in the opinion of the board of
directors.

Performance Rights

The Share Amount is converted into a number of Performance Rights, rounded off
to the nearest whole number, by dividing of the Share Amount with the volume
-weighted average price paid per ordinary share in Haldex at Nasdaq Stockholm
during six months from the first trading day of September 2016 to the last
trading day of February 2017 (the “Translation Rate”), however, not lower than
SEK 31.55 per share (the “Floor Price”). The board of directors has the right
to, in connection with certain corporate events, inter alia in case of a share
split or a reverse share split, resolve on an adjustment of the Floor Price in
accordance with general principles on the equity market for recalculation in
such events.

A Performance Right does not constitute a security or a financial instrument and
will not be registered on any securities account with any central securities
depository. Participants do not have the right to pledge, sell, transfer or in
any other way dispose of the Performance Rights.

A Performance Right does not carry any right to dividends or other shareholders’
rights during the duration of the Performance Right. However, holders of
Performance Rights shall receive dividend compensation on the underlying
Performance Share during the Lock-up Period in the form of a cash amount.

The number of Performance Rights can be recalculated in case of a bonus issue,
new issue of shares, conversion of convertible instruments, share split or
reverse share split and in certain other cases in accordance with general
principles on the equity market for recalculation in such events.

Allotment of Performance Shares

Each Performance Right held by a Participant bestows a conditional right to
automatically and free of charge receive allotment of one Performance Share in
2020.

The total number of Performance Shares that may be allotted to the Participants
shall not exceed 305,293, which equals the quotient of (a) the highest aggregate
Share Amount for all Participants divided by (b) the Floor Price.

Delivery of any Performance Shares shall be conditional on the fulfilment of the
Performance Targets and the Participant being employed within the Group
throughout the Lock-up Period. In addition, in order for any allotment of
Performance Shares to occur, the Participants’ outcome of LTI 2016 shall be
reasonable in the opinion of the board of directors with regard to the financial
situation of the Company, the employer and/or the Group. The board of directors
shall prior to and in close proximity to each allotment of Performance Shares
evaluate whether and to which extent the stated conditions are fulfilled.

If not all the conditions are fulfilled, the board of directors has the right,
at its own discretion, to unilaterally change the terms and conditions for LTI
2016 as the board of directors deems appropriate and in this context for example
in whole or in part declare outstanding Performance Rights forfeited, meaning
that fewer or no Performance Shares at all will be transferred to the
Participant. A decision of such change shall be publicly announced no later than
in connection with Haldex’s first financial report following the decision.

Hedging

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting, as the main
alternative (item 14(b) alternative (1) below) resolves

(i) to authorise the board of directors to resolve on acquisitions of own shares
on a regulated market, and
(ii) to transfer own shares free of charge to Participants.

Since the Program, in principle, is not expected to give rise to any initial
social security payments for the Group, the board of directors has decided not
to propose to the annual general meeting 2016 to resolve on transfers of own
common shares on a regulated market in order to cover such costs. Prior to the
transfers of shares to Participants, the board of directors intends to propose
to the annual general meeting 2019 and/or 2020 that transfers be made of own
shares on a regulated market in order to cover above mentioned costs.

Should the majority required under item 14(b) alternative (1) below not be
reached, the board of directors proposes that Haldex shall be able to enter into
an equity swap agreement with a third party (item 14(b) alternative (2) below).

Estimated costs

The estimated maximum costs of LTI 2016 amounts to SEK 11.9 million.

The calculation of the estimated costs has been made based on the following
assumptions: (i) an average market price of the Haldex common share of SEK
63.10, (ii) dividend of SEK 0 is paid by Haldex each year during the Program and
(iii) an assessment of future volatility in respect of the Haldex common share.
In total, this can lead to maximum costs for the Program of approximately SEK
9.6 million, excluding social security costs. The costs for social security
charges are calculated to approximately SEK 2.3 million assuming an annual share
price increase of 10 per cent during the Lock-up Period. If the average share
price increases from SEK 63.10 with 10 per cent until the implementation of the
Program the effect on costs would only be marginal as the number of Performance
Rights would be reduced correspondingly. Also in case of a decrease in the
average share price the effect on costs would be marginal. The expected annual
costs, including social security charges, correspond to slightly more than 1 per
cent of Haldex’s total employee costs.

Preparation of the Program

The proposal for LTI 2016 has been prepared by the board of directors and
discussed with major shareholders.

Previous incentive programs in Haldex

The annual general meeting 2013 resolved to implement the long term incentive
program LTI 2013, essentially on the same principles as the above proposed LTI
2016. In LTI 2013, 12 participants (as of 31 December 2015) are entitled to
receive not more than 50,420 performance shares during the first half of 2017.

The annual general meeting 2014 resolved to implement the long term incentive
program LTI 2014, essentially on the same principles as the above proposed LTI
2016. In LTI 2014, 20 participants (as of 31 December 2015) are entitled to
receive not more than 28,386 performance shares during the first half of 2018.

The annual general meeting 2015 resolved to implement the long term incentive
program LTI 2015, essentially on the same principles as the above proposed LTI
2016. Due to financial circumstances in 2015, no outcome was allotted for LTI
2015.

Besides LTI 2013 and LTI 2014, there are currently no other ongoing long-term
share-related incentive programs in Haldex.

Proposal for resolution on hedging arrangements in respect of the Program (item
14(b) on the agenda)

Proposal for resolution on acquisitions and transfers of own shares (item 14(b)
alternative (1))

(i) Authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on acquisitions of own
shares

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorises the
board to resolve on acquisitions of own shares on one or several occasions
during the period up to the annual general meeting 2017 in accordance with the
following:

  · acquisitions of own shares shall be made on Nasdaq Stockholm;
  · no more than 305,293 own shares may be acquired; and
  · acquisitions of own shares shall be made in cash and at a price within the
applicable stock market share price range at the time of the acquisition.

The reasons for the proposed authorisation to acquire own shares is to secure
delivery to Participants of shares in accordance with LTI 2016 and to enable
transfers of shares on a regulated market to cover costs associated with the
Program.

(ii) Resolution on transfers of own shares to Participants in LTI 2016

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on
transfers of own shares in accordance with the following.

  · the maximum number of shares that may be transferred shall be 305,293;
  · entitled to receive the shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders’
preferential rights, be the Participants in LTI 2016, with right for each of the
Participants to receive no more than the maximum number of shares allowed under
the terms and conditions for LTI 2016;
  · the Participants’ right to receive shares are conditional upon the
fulfilment of all of the conditions set up in LTI 2016;
  · the shares shall be transferred within the time period set out in the terms
and conditions of LTI 2016;
  · the shares shall be transferred free of charge; and
  · the number of shares that may be transferred to the Participants in LTI 2016
may be recalculated due to bonus issue, share split, rights issue and similar
events in accordance with the terms and conditions of LTI 2016.

The reason for the proposed transfers and for the deviation from the
shareholders’ preferential rights is to enable delivery of shares to
Participants in LTI 2016.

Proposal for resolution on an equity swap agreement with a third party (item
14(b) alternative (2))

Should the majority required under item 14(b) alternative (1) above not be
reached, the board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting
resolves that the expected financial exposure of the Program shall be hedged by
Haldex being able to enter into an equity swap agreement with a third party on
terms in accordance with market practice, whereby the third party in its own
name shall be entitled to acquire and transfer shares in Haldex to the
Participants.

Miscellaneous

Conditions

The annual general meeting’s resolution on the implementation of the Program
according to item 14(a) above is conditional upon the meeting either resolving
in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal under item 14(b) alternative
(1) above or in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal under item
14(b) alternative (2) above.

Majority requirements

The annual general meeting’s resolution regarding the Program according to item
14(a) above requires a simple majority among the votes cast. A valid resolution
under item 14(b) alternative (1) above requires that shareholders representing
not less than nine-tenths of the votes cast as well as of the shares represented
at the meeting approve the resolution. A valid resolution under item 14(b)
alternative (2) above requires a simple majority among the votes cast.

Proposals regarding authorisations to acquire and transfer own shares (items
15(a) – 15(b) on the agenda)

Proposal for resolution on authorisation for the board of directors to resolve
on acquisitions of own shares (item 15(a) on the agenda)

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorises the
board to resolve on repurchase of own shares on one or several occasions during
the period up to the annual general meeting 2017 in accordance with the
following:

  · acquisition of own shares shall be made on Nasdaq Stockholm;
  · own shares may be acquired to the extent the company’s holdings of own
shares in total amounts to no more than one tenth of all shares in the company;
  · acquisition of own shares shall be made in cash and at a price within the
applicable stock market share price range at the time of the acquisition.

The reasons for the proposed authorisation to repurchase own shares are to
enable share transfers in accordance with the board’s proposals under 15(b)
below and, hence, to increase the flexibility of the board in connection to
potential future corporate acquisitions, and to increase the board’s
possibilities to continuously be able to adapt the company’s capital structure,
thereby contributing to increased shareholder value.

Proposal for resolution on authorisation for the board of directors to resolve
on transfers of own shares in connection to corporate acquisitions (item 15(b)
on the agenda)

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorises the
board to resolve on transfer of own shares on one or several occasions during
the period up to the annual general meeting 2017 in accordance with the
following:

  · transfer of own shares shall be made either on Nasdaq Stockholm or in
another manner;
  · transfer of own shares may be made with deviation from the shareholders’
preferential rights;
  · the maximum number of shares that may be transferred shall be the total
number of own shares held by the company at the time of the board’s resolution
to transfer the shares;
  · transfer of shares shall be made at a price that shall be determined in
close connection with the shares’ quoted price at the time of the board’s
resolution to transfer the shares;
  · payment for the transferred shares may be made in cash, by contribution in
kind or by set-off.

The reasons for the proposed transfer and for a potential deviation from the
shareholders’ preferential rights are to increase the flexibility of the board
in connection to potential future corporate acquisitions, by facilitating a fast
and cost efficient financing thereof.

Majority requirements

Resolutions passed by the annual general meeting in accordance with the board of
director’s proposal under the items 15(a) – 15(b) above are valid only when
supported by shareholders holding at least two thirds of the votes cast as well
as of the shares represented at the meeting.
