Matters to be decided
Item 2 – Election of chairman of the Annual General Meeting

the 2015 Annual General Meeting, comprises Olof Cato (JCE Group AB) chairman of
the Nominations Committee, Evert Carlsson (Swedbank Robur Fonder), Katja
Bergqvist (Handelsbanken Fonder) and Semcon’s Chairman Kjell Nilsson, who
together represent around 33.6 per cent of the votes associated with all the
shares in the company. The Nominations Committee proposes Kjell Nilsson as
Chairman of the Annual General Meeting.

Item 9 – Decision regarding appropriation of the company’s profits according to
the adopted balance sheet and record date for dividend
The Board proposes that a dividend of SEK 1.25 per share be paid out and that
all remaining profits at the Annual General Meeting’s disposal be carried
forward. It is proposed that the record date for the dividend be 2 May 2016. If
the Annual General Meeting votes in accordance with the proposal, payment is
expected to be made via Euroclear Sweden AB on 6 May 2016.

Item 12 – Decision regarding the number of Board members and deputies
The Nominations Committee proposes that there be five ordinary Board members and
no deputies.

Item 13 – Decision regarding number of auditors, deputy auditors or registered
public accounting firms
The Nominations Committee proposes that a registered public accounting firm be
appointed auditor of the company.

Item 14 – Determination of remuneration to the Board of Directors
The Nominations Committee proposes, similarly to last year, that a total fee of
SEK 1,610,000 shall be paid to Board members elected by the meeting, of which
SEK 550,000 to the chairman and SEK 265,000 to each of the other members elected
by the meeting. The Nominations Committee further proposes that no special fees
be paid for work on Board committees.

Item 15 – Determination of remuneration to the auditors
The Nominations Committee proposes that the fee paid to auditors be made on open
account, approved by the company.

Item 16 – Election of Board chairman, Board members and possible deputies
The Nominations Committee proposes the re-election of Marianne Brismar as Board
member and that current Board member Tore Bertilsson be elected as Chairman. The
Nominations Committee furthermore proposes that Karl Thedéen, Jan Erik Karlsson
and Jeanette Saveros be elected as Board members. Chairman Kjell Nilsson and
Board members Gunvor Engström and Håkan Larsson have declined re-election. Tore
Bertilsson is not considered independent in relation to major shareholder in the
company since he is a Board member of a company that is a major shareholder in
the company but he can be considered independent in relation to the company and
to the senior management team.The other proposed Board members can be considered
independent in relation to the company, the senior management team and the major
shareholders. The Nominations Committee’s justifications for these proposals to
the Board and information about the proposed Board members are available on the
company’s website from 29 March at www.semcon.com. The statement also contains a
brief account of how the Nominations Committee’s work is carried out.

Item 17 – Election of auditors and deputy auditors or registered public
accounting firms
The 2015 Annual General Meeting elected Deloitte AB as auditors of the company
up to the time of the end of the 2016 Annual General Meeting. The Nominations
Committee proposes that the registered public accounting firm Deloitte AB be re
-elected as the company’s auditor for a period of one year.

Item 18 – Decision regarding the Nominations Committee
The Nominations Committee proposes that the company shall have a Nominations
Committee that no remuneration be paid to the Nominations Committee although the
company shall pay the costs of the Nominations Committee, and that there be a
nominations process with the following content. The Nominations Committee shall
comprise three, or in some cases four members. In addition the chairman of the
Board will be a co-opted member. Based on the shareholder statistics on 31
August, the chairman of the Board shall contact the three largest shareholders
(based on number of votes) and ask each of them to appoint one member of the
Nominations Committee. If a shareholder declines this offer, the offer shall be
made to the next largest shareholder. The member proposed by the shareholder
holding the most votes shall act as chairman of the Nominations Committee. If
there are changes in the shareholder structure after 31 August and earlier than
two months before the Annual General Meeting, and if a shareholder consequently
becomes one of the three largest shareholders and wishes to be represented on
the Nominations Committee, then this shareholder shall have the right to either
appoint an additional committee member or, if the Nominations Committee so
decides, to appoint a representative to replace the representative of the
shareholder who has the least number of votes after the ownership changes. If a
member of the Nominations Committee resigns or is unable to fulfill his or her
obligations, then the chairman shall without delay ask the shareholder to
appoint a new representative within a reasonable time. If the shareholder does
not exercise the right to appoint a new member then, and if the number of
shareholder appointed members of the Nominations Committee is thereby less than
three, then other major shareholders shall be invited to appoint a member to the
Nominations Committee. If such an offer is given, it shall be offered to the
next largest shareholder in terms of voting rights who has not already appointed
a representative or who has refrained from doing so. The proceedings shall
continue until the Nominations Committee consists of three members and the
Chairman of the Board as co-opted member. The Nominations Committee shall
perform the duties that from time to time arise in accordance with Swedish Code
of Corporate Governance. The duties of the Nominations Committee include making
proposals for (i) Chairman of the Annual General Meeting, (ii) Chairman of the
Board and other Board members, (iii) fees and other remuneration for Board
assignments for each Board member, (iv) fees for auditors, (v) selection of
auditors and (vi) fees for members of the Nominations Committee and proposals
for the nomination process in general. The Nominations Committee will provide
the company with the information required for the company to meet its
information liability according to the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance.

Item 19 – Decision regarding guidelines for determining salaries and other
remuneration to senior executives
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting establish guidelines for
determining salaries and other remuneration to senior executives with the
following main content. The company shall have a remuneration level and other
employment terms that are needed to recruit and keep senior executives with the
right skills and capabilities to achieve the company’s objectives. Total
remuneration – made up of various components such as fixed salary, bonus,
participation in share-linked incentive scheme, pension benefits and other
remuneration and benefits – shall be reasonable, competitive and market-based,
and shall be decided with regard to, among other things, performance, position
and importance for the Group. A fixed salary shall be paid for satisfactory work
and shall normally be reviewed once a year. A bonus shall be offered, but shall
be primarily based on results and bonus targets, established once a year, and be
a maximum of 6 months’ salary. Senior executives shall be given the right to
arrange individual pension solutions under certain provisions via salary or
bonus waivers. Pension solutions shall be premium-based. Notice of resignation
from senior executives shall be a minimum of 6 and maximum of 12 months. Notice
of dismissal from the company’s side shall be at most 12 months. Dismissal
salary and severance compensation combined shall not exceed 12 months’ salary.
In addition, other remuneration and benefits may be offered to facilitate
possibilities to complete work assignments. The Board has the right to deviate
from these guidelines in individual cases if there is good reason. To ensure
continuity, the Board’s proposals are in line with previous years’ remuneration
principles and agreements.

Item 20– Decision to authorize the Board to decide on new issues of ordinary
shares
The reason for the proposal, and the reason for deviating from preferential
rights for shareholders, is that the Board wishes to create cost-effective and
flexible opportunities for making payments for acquisitions of companies or
businesses or parts thereof. The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting
authorize the Board up to the time of the next Annual General Meeting, on one or
more occasions, to decide on the new issue of ordinary shares in the company on
the following conditions:

1) New shares may only be issued to enable use of ordinary shares as liquidity
in the acquisition of companies or businesses or parts thereof.
2) New shares may be issued with deviation from existing shareholders’
preferential rights.
3) The new share issue shall comprise a maximum of 1,811,253 ordinary shares.
4) The subscription price shall correspond to the share’s assessed market value
at the time of issue.
5) Payment for the shares shall be in capital contributed in kind through
settlement of a receivable.
6) The Board has the right to set other conditions for new issues.

On full utilization of the authorization to issue new shares, the total number
of shares and votes in the company can increase by 1,811,253, representing
dilution of around ten per cent of current shares and votes.

Item 21 – Decision to authorize the Board to decide on the acquisition and
transfer of the company’s own shares
The reason for the proposal, and the reason for deviating from preferential
rights for existing shareholders, is that the Board wishes to create cost
-efficient and flexible opportunities to: (i) improve the company’s capital
structure and thereby increase share value, (ii) to make payments for
acquisitions of companies or businesses or parts thereof, and (iii) to ensure
access to the company’s own shares in order to fulfill the company’s commitments
in the Performance-related Share Savings Scheme 2015.

A. Decision regarding authorizing the Board to decide on the acquisition of own
shares
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorize the Board up to the
time of the next Annual General Meeting on one or more occasions to decide on
the acquisition of ordinary shares in the company on the following conditions:
1)   Purchases shall only be made to (i) improve the company’s capital
structure, (ii) to enable use of ordinary shares as liquidity in making payments
for acquisition of companies or businesses or parts thereof or (iii) to ensure
the fulfilment of the company’s commitments in the Performance-related Share
Savings Scheme 2015.
2) Purchases may only be made on Nasdaq Stockholm or through purchase offers
directed to all owners of ordinary shares in the company.
3) Purchases of shares on each occasion shall be a maximum, after the purchase,
of ten per cent of all shares in the company.
4) Purchases on Nasdaq Stockholm shall be at a price per share within the
current share price range for ordinary shares, or in the event that the Board
assigns a stock exchange member to accumulate a specific amount of the company’s
shares in their own account for a specific period, at a price per share within a
specified price range for the period or equivalent volume-weighted average share
price, and purchases linked with an acquisition offer shall have as their
maximum price per share the market price at the time of the offer plus at most
twenty per cent.
5) Payment for ordinary shares shall be in cash.
6) The appropriate terms in the listing agreement with Nasdaq Stockholm shall be
observed for purchases.
7) The Board has the right to set other conditions for the acquisition.

B. Decision regarding authorizing the Board to decide on the transfer of the
company’s own shares
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorizes the Board up to
the time of the next Annual General Meeting, on one or more occasions, with
deviation from shareholders’ preferential rights, to decide on the transfer of
ordinary shares in the company on the following conditions:
1) Transfers may only be made to use ordinary shares as liquidity for
acquisition of companies and businesses or parts thereof.
2) Transfers on each occasion may be of the total number of ordinary shares
owned by the company.
3) Transfers shall be at a price corresponding to the share’s assessed market
value in connection with transfer.
4) Payment for ordinary shares shall be in capital contributed in kind.
5) The Board has the right to set other conditions for transferring shares.

Meeting, and if the Board deems that it can be done without inflicting material
damage to the company, provide information on circumstances that can affect the

of the company’s or subsidiaries’ financial situation, or the company’s
relationship to other Group companies.
