Election of Auditors

The Annual General Meeting elected the registered accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers AB as new auditor for a period of four years. Håkan Malmström has been appointed auditor in charge.

Guidelines for remuneration

Item 14 on the Agenda

The Annual General Meeting adopted the Board’s proposal of revised guidelines for remuneration and other terms of employment for senior executives for the year 2011. The Board’s proposal was presented in the Notice of the Annual General Meeting. In principal, the revisions include that the short-term incentives are discontinued and replaced with revised long-term incentives and an adjusted fixed salary.

Long-term incentive programs

Item 15 on the Agenda

The Annual General Meeting adopted the Board’s proposal of the long-term incentive programs for 2011. Just as in earlier years, the shareholders’ meeting approved both a general Share Matching Plan, that now is offered to all employees, and a Performance Share Plan that is offered to key employees. The Annual General Meeting resolved on certain adjustments in the programs, compared to the programs from previous years.

The revision of the long-term incentive program in principal means that the number of shares that can be earned in the Performance Share Plan 2011 is reduced by one share per participant and is replaced with one matching share free of consideration without performance requirement in the Share Matching Plan 2011. The savings amount allowed in the Performance Share Plan is still maximized to 7.5 per cent of the gross salary, however only an amount of maximum 5 per cent of the gross salary can be the basis for allocation of matching shares free of consideration in the Share Matching Plan 2011. The revision is technically accomplished by participants in the Performance Share Plan 2011 also enrolling in the Share Matching Plan 2011 and the savings amount in the Performance Share Plan 2011 is also counted as savings in the Share Matching Plan 2011. All employees, also key employees (including senior executives) are allowed to participate in the Share Matching Plan.

In the general Share Matching Plan, the employee can, through monthly deductions from the net salary, save up to a maximum of 5 per cent of the gross salary for the purchase of Saab shares. If the employee retains the purchased shares for three years, the Saab Group will give the employee the corresponding number of shares. This program encompasses a maximum of 1,040,000 of series B.

The Performance Share Plan is offered to up to 286 key employees, including the CEO (President). For the purchase of shares, the employee can make monthly deductions from the net salary up to a maximum of 7.5 per cent of the gross salary. If after three years, the financial goal based on an average annual percentage growth rate in earnings per share between 5 and 15 per cent, has been fully reached, the employee will receive a maximum of 1 to 4 matching shares per purchased share. If the financial goal has not been reached, no share matching will occur. The Performance Share Plan is thus associated with a risk and is connected to performance. The program encompasses a maximum of 300,000 shares of series B.

Acquisition and transfer of the Company’s own shares

Item 16 on the Agenda

The Annual General Meeting also authorized the Board to decide on the acquisition of own shares, however only up to a maximum of 10 percent of the total number of shares in the Company, and the transfer of own shares of series B. The purpose of the authorization is to allow the Board increased scope for action in working with the Company’s capital structure or in connection with the financing of the Company’s acquisitions and to give the Company the possibility to transfer shares to the employees and secure the associated costs under the long-term Share Matching Plans and the Performance Share Plans.

The Annual General Meeting also resolved on the transfer of shares of series B to the employees in accordance with the Share Matching Plan 2011 and the Performance Share Plan 2011. Furthermore, the Company shall have the right to, prior to the next Annual Meeting, on stock exchange transfer no more that 1,450,000 shares of series B in order to cover certain expenses, mainly social security payments.

Nomination Committee

Item 17 on the Agenda

The proposal for a Nomination Committee process was approved. The rules for how the Nomination Committee shall be elected now apply until further notice but are otherwise unchanged compared to earlier years.
