Guidelines for remuneration to senior executives
The Meeting resolved to approve the guidelines proposed by the Board of Directors on remuneration to senior executives.

Long-term incentive programme
The Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board of Director's proposal, on a long-term incentive programme, LTI 2019. The programme will run for three years and will be offered to senior executives to supplement the annual short-term incentive programme ("STI 2019").

STI 2019 measures EBIT (50 per cent), cash conversion (30 per cent) and individual performance (20 per cent), for a maximum payout of 60 per cent of annual basic pay. For President Americas, the maximum payout is 100 per cent of the annual basic pay.

LTI 2019 implies that a payout equivalent to the amount of STI 2019 is allocated and indexed to the total return of the Gränges share. The vesting periods for LTI 2019 will run over the years 2020, 2021, and 2022 and payment will be made proportionately on an annual basis over a period of three years - 2021, 2022 and 2023 - provided that the individual remains employed in the Gränges Group.

The total payout from STI and LTI programmes may not exceed 150 per cent of the annual basic pay as of the date of the payout. This does not apply to the person holding the position as President Americas, whose total payout from STI and LTI programmes is limited to 200 per cent of the annual basic pay.

Issue authorization
The Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to authorize the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions until the next AGM, issue new shares and/or convertible bonds. An issue can be decided with or without regard to shareholders' pre-emption rights. Following this authorization, a total maximum number of shares equivalent to 10 per cent of the total number of outstanding shares in the company on the date of the Meeting's authorization resolution, may be issued in new share issues and/or through the conversions of convertible bonds.
