Proposed instructions for the Nominating Committee ahead of the 2010

It is noted that shareholders together representing approximately 68% of the
votes and 51% of the share capital in Sweco propose that the Annual General
Meeting resolve on instructions to the Nominating Committee essentially
according to the following.

1. The Board Chairman shall convene a Nominating Committee consisting of one
representative for each of the largest shareholders in the Company, at least
three and at most four, together with the Chairman if he/she is not a member in
the capacity of shareholder representative. If a shareholder does not exercise
its right to appoint a member, the shareholder next in order of voting power
shall have the right to appoint a member to the Nominating Committee. The names
of the members, together with the names of the shareholders they represent,
shall be made public not later than six months before the 2010 Annual General
Meeting and shall be based on the known number of votes immediately prior to
announcement.  

2. The mandate period of the Nominating Committee shall extend until such time
as the new Nominating Committee has been appointed. The Chairman of the
Nominating Committee shall be the Board Chairman.

3. In the event of a significant change in the Company's ownership structure
after the appointment of the Nominating Committee, the composition of the
Nominating Committee shall also be changed in accordance with the principles
stated in point 1 above. A shareholder that has appointed a member to the
Nominating Committee shall have the right to remove such member and appoint a
new member to the Nominating Committee, and shall likewise have the right to
appoint a new representative if the member originally appointed by the
shareholder should choose to leave Nominating Committee. Changes in the
composition of the Nominating Committee shall be announced immediately.

4. The Nominating Committee shall prepare proposals on the following matters to
be put before the 2010 Annual General Meeting for decision:

the responsibilities of the Nominating Committee as stated in the Swedish Code
of Corporate Governance and shall have the right to receive reasonable
compensation from the Company for expenses, such as fees to external
consultants, which are deemed necessary by the Nominating Committee for the
performance of its duties.
