Point 19: The Board proposes that the meeting adopt the following guidelines on remuneration for senior executives:

These guidelines concern remuneration and other terms of employment for Ferronordic’s executive management. The guidelines apply to employment contracts made after the approval of these guidelines by the meeting and to amendments to existing employment agreements made thereafter.

Basic principles

Remuneration to executives shall be based on market terms in the markets where Ferronordic operates and the environment in which the individual executive is working. In addition, remuneration shall be competitive in order to enable Ferronordic to attract and retain competent executives.

Fixed salaries

Fixed salaries are established individually based on the criteria specified above, as well as the individual executive’s areas of responsibility and performance. For expatriates with salaries in rubles, the fixed salaries can be adjusted to reflect changes in fore exchange rates.

Variable salaries

Executives may receive variable salaries in addition to fixed salaries. Variable salaries shall be paid upon fulfilment of predetermined and measurable performance criteria, primarily based on the development of the group as a whole and/or the development of the part of the group’s operations for which the individual in question is responsible. As regards the CEO, the variable salary may not exceed 100% of the fixed salary. As regards other executives, the variable salary may not exceed 50% of the fixed salary. Exceptions are permitted for executives whose duties predominantly consist of sales, for whom the variable salary may not exceed 200% of the fixed salary.

Other benefits

Executives are entitled to customary non-monetary benefits such as company cars and company health insurance. In addition, company housing and other benefits can be offered on an individual basis, such housing allowances and school/kindergarten allowances for expatriates.

Pension benefits

In addition to those pension benefits that executives are entitled to according to law, executives may be offered pension benefits that are competitive in the country where the individual in question is or has been a resident or to which the individual has a relevant connection. Pension plans shall be defined contribution plans without guaranteed pension levels.

Severance pay

Severance pay shall not exceed 12 months.

The Board’s preparation and decision-making on issues concerning remuneration and other terms of employment

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for:

1. preparing the Board’s decisions on issues concerning principles of remuneration, remuneration and other terms of employment for the Executives,
2. monitoring and evaluating programs for variable remuneration, both ongoing and those who end during the year,
3. monitoring and evaluating programs the application of these guidelines, and
4. monitoring and evaluating current remuneration structures and levels in the group.

4/4

The Remuneration Committee prepares and the Board resolves on:

1. the remuneration and terms of employment of the CEO,
2. the principles for remuneration (including pension and severance pay) for the other executives.

The Remuneration Committee is further responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board share-related incentive programs to be decided by the AGM.

Authority to decide on deviations from these guidelines

The Board may deviate from these guidelines if there are specific reasons to do so in an individual case.

Earlier decisions on remuneration that has not become due for payment at the time of the AGM’s consideration of these guidelines

Decisions on remuneration that will not have become due the time of the AGM 2018 fall within the frames of these guidelines.

Point 20: The Board proposes that the long-term incentive program for the members of the company’s executive and extended management teams that was applied in 2016 and 2017 be repeated in 2018. Should the meeting approve the program, the company would pay a bonus to the participants (15-18 people) of SEK 100,000 each (net) to be used to purchase ordinary shares in Ferronordic. The participants are not allowed to sell the shares for a period of three years. Should a participant resign voluntarily or be dismissed because of gross misconduct, the participant must sell his/her preference shares to the other participants at a pre-agreed discounted price. The purpose of the program is to provide long-term incentive to the company’s management and further align the interests of the management and the shareholders. The Board proposes that each of Anders Blomqvist and Henrik Carlborg be authorized, on behalf of the company, to sign agreements and other documents that may be required in order for the company to implement the said program.
