The Company shall have a Nomination Committee consisting of members appointed by each of the four largest shareholders in terms of voting rights, who have expressed their willingness to participate in the Nomination Committee, as well as the Chair of the Board. The Chair of the Board shall convene the first meeting.

At the formation of the Nomination Committee, the ownership structure of the Company as of the last banking day in August, based on ownership information (grouped by owner) from Euroclear Sweden AB and other reliable ownership information (grouped by owner) provided to the Company, shall determine which shareholders are the largest in terms of voting rights.

The Chair of the Nomination Committee shall be the member representing the largest shareholder in terms of voting rights.

If a shareholder who has appointed a member to the Nomination Committee has significantly reduced its shareholdings in the Company, the Nomination Committee may decide that the member shall resign from the Nomination Committee. If this occurs, the Nomination Committee may offer the shareholder next in line in terms of voting rights the opportunity to appoint a new member, if the Nomination Committee deems it appropriate.

If the ownership structure of the Company is otherwise significantly changed before the Nomination Committee's work is completed, a change in the composition of the Nomination Committee may take place in a way deemed appropriate by the Nomination Committee.
