Proposal for resolution regarding guidelines for remuneration and other terms of employment for the
group management (item 14)
The Board of Directors proposes that the annual general meeting
resolves to approve the Board of Directors’ proposal regarding guidelines for remuneration and other terms
of employment for senior executives as set forth below.
Guidelines for group management’s terms and remuneration and general remuneration
principles
These guidelines include the CEO and members of the group management.
Remuneration under employments subject to other rules than Swedish may be duly adjusted to comply with
mandatory rules or established local practice, taking into account, to the extent possible, the overall
purpose of these guidelines. The guidelines are applicable to remuneration agreed, and amendments to
remuneration already agreed, after adoption of the guidelines by the annual general meeting 2020. These
guidelines do not apply to any remuneration decided or approved by the general meeting.
The guidelines’ promotion of the company’s business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability
Net Insight develops and sells hardware and software products for the global media industry. Net Insight’s
solutions are used by customers to build secure and reliable media networks.
A prerequisite for the successful implementation of the company’s business strategy and safeguarding of its
long-term interests, including its sustainability, is that the company is able to recruit and retain
qualified personnel. To this end, it is necessary that the company offers competitive remuneration. These
guidelines enable the company to offer the group management a competitive total remuneration.
From time to time, the Board of Directors may propose share-based long-term incentive programs, which are
then considered by the general meetings separately and are therefore excluded from these
guidelines. The programs shall have a clear link to the business strategy and thereby to the company’s
long-term value creation, including its sustainability. The plans are conditional upon the participants’ own
investments and certain holding periods of several years. For more information on the current program, see
case 14 on the following documents on the company’s website:
Variable cash remuneration covered by these guidelines shall aim at promoting the company’s business strategy
and long-term interests, including its sustainability.
Types of remuneration, etc.
The remuneration shall be on market terms and may consist of the following components: fixed cash salary,
variable cash remuneration, pension benefits and other benefits. Additionally, the general meeting may –
irrespective of these guidelines – resolve on, among other things, share-related or share price-related
remuneration.
The satisfaction of criteria for awarding variable cash remuneration shall be measured over a period of one
or several years. For the CEO, the variable cash remuneration may amount to not more than 100 per cent of
the total fixed cash salary under the measurement period. For other executives, the variable cash
remuneration may amount to not more than 40 per cent of the total fixed cash salary under the measurement
period.
For the CEO, pension benefits, including health insurance (Sw. sjukförsäkring), shall be premium
defined. Variable cash remuneration shall not qualify for pension benefits. The pension premiums for premium
defined pension shall amount to not more than 30 per cent of the fixed annual cash salary.
For other executives, pension benefits, including health insurance, shall be premium defined. The pension
premiums for premium defined pension and the definition of pensionable salary follow the company’s Pension
and Insurance Policy that has been adopted by the board of directors and is dependent on age, fixed cash
salary, year of employment and parts of the variable cash remuneration. The pension premiums for premium
defined pension may amount to not more than 25 per cent of the fixed annual cash salary and to not more than
30 per cent of the pensionable salary.
Other benefits may include, for example, life insurance, medical insurance (Sw.
sjukvårdsförsäkring), accident insurance and company cars. Such benefits may amount to not more
than 5 per cent of the fixed annual cash salary.
Termination of employment
When termination is made by the executive, the period of notice may not to exceed six months without any
right to severance pay. The notice period may not exceed twelve months for the CEO and six months for other
executives, if notice of termination of employment is made by the company. Fixed cash salary during the
period of notice and severance pay may together not exceed an amount equivalent to 18 months of fixed cash
salary.
Additionally, remuneration may be paid for non-compete undertakings. Such remuneration shall compensate for
loss of income and shall only be paid in so far as the previously employed executive is not entitled to
severance pay. The remuneration shall amount to not more than 60 per cent of the fixed cash salary at the
time of termination of employment and be paid during the time the non-compete undertaking applies, however
not for more than twelve months following termination of employment.
Criteria for awarding variable cash remuneration, etc.
The variable cash remuneration shall be linked to predetermined and measurable criteria which can be
financial or non-financial and consist of individualized, quantitative or qualitative objectives. The
objectives shall be designed so as to contribute to the company’s business strategy and long-term interests,
including its sustainability, by for example being clearly linked to the business strategy. Senior
executives’ variable remuneration shall be 70 per cent based on measurable financial goals, such as (but not
limited to) a combination of revenue and earnings.
To which extent the criteria for awarding variable cash remuneration has been satisfied shall be
evaluated/determined when the measurement period has ended. The remuneration committee is responsible for
the evaluation of variable remuneration to the CEO and submit to the board of directors for approval. For
variable cash remuneration to other executives, the CEO is responsible for the evaluation and the
remuneration committee is responsible for approval. For financial objectives, the evaluation shall be based
on the latest financial information made public by the company.
Conditions for variable remuneration shall be designed so that the board of directors has a) the right to
limit payment in part or in full if exceptional economic conditions prevail and such a measure is considered
reasonable; and b) is entitled to withhold or claim back paid variable remuneration to senior executives if
such remuneration subsequently has been founded incorrect, due to improper actions or negligence.
The board of directors has the right to limit or refrain from payment of the senior executives’ variable
remuneration if the executive has violated or disregarded the company’s codes of conduct.
Salary and employment conditions for employees
In the preparation of the board of directors’ proposal for these remuneration guidelines, salary and
employment conditions for employees of the company have been taken into account by including information on
the employees’ total income, the components of the remuneration and increase and growth rate over time, in
the remuneration committee’s and the board of directors’ basis of decision when evaluating whether the
guidelines and the limitations set out herein are reasonable.
The decision-making process to determine, review and implement the guidelines
The board of directors has established a remuneration committee. The committee’s tasks include preparing the
board of directors’ decision to propose guidelines for executive remuneration. The board of directors shall
prepare a proposal for new guidelines at least every fourth year and submit it to the general meeting. The
guidelines shall be in force until new guidelines are adopted by the general meeting. The remuneration
committee shall also monitor and evaluate programs for variable remuneration for the executive management,
the application of the guidelines for executive remuneration as well as the current remuneration structures
and compensation levels in the company. The CEO and other members of the group management do not participate
in the board of directors’ processing of and resolutions regarding remuneration-related matters in so far as
they are affected by such matters.
Derogation from the guidelines
The board of directors may temporarily resolve to derogate from the guidelines, in whole or in part, if in a
specific case there is special cause for the derogation and a derogation is necessary to serve the company’s
long-term interests, including its sustainability, or to ensure the company’s financial viability. As set
out above, the remuneration committee’s tasks include preparing the board of directors’ resolutions in
remuneration-related matters. This includes any resolutions to derogate from the guidelines.
Description of material changes to the guidelines and how the views of shareholders’ have been taken into
consideration
These guidelines have been prepared for the annual general meeting 2020 and are essentially based on earlier
guidelines for remuneration to members of the group management but extended to comply with new requirements
of the Swedish Companies Act. The guidelines are annually reviewed by the remuneration committee that, in
case of amendments, submits it to the board of directors and to the general meeting for comments and
decisions.
The Board of Directors’ proposal for resolution regarding incentive programme 2020 and issue of
warrants (item 15)
The Board of Directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves
to implement a new long-term incentive program for employees within the Net Insight group (“LTI 2020”) in
accordance with items 15 (a) – 15 (c) below. The resolutions under items 15 (a) – 15 (c) below are proposed
to be conditional upon each other and are therefore proposed to be passed as one resolution. LTI 2020 is
proposed to include not more than 30 employees within the Net Insight group.
Proposal regarding the adoption of LTI 2020 (item 15 (a))
Background and motives
The purpose for the proposal is to enable an increase in retention and
motivation among strategic key employees of the group, and to increase the group’s ability to attract top
talent to strategic positions. The Board of Directors considers that the adoption of the incentive programme
as described below connects the shareholders’, the group managements’ and other key staffs’ interests to
ensure maximum long-term value creation.
LTI 2020 in short
LTI 2020 comprises two series, Series 1 and Series 2, which both consists of warrants to be transferred to
employees with a vesting period of three years after which the holder is entitled to exercise the warrants
to subscribe for B shares during a period of three months.
The Board of Directors proposes the meeting to resolves to issue not more than 7,400,000 warrants and the
subsequent transfer of not more than 3,700,000 warrants, of which not more than 3,700,000 may be issued in
Series 1 and not more than 3,700,000 may be issued in Series 2.
The right to subscribe for warrants of Series 1 and Series 2 only accrues to the wholly-owned subsidiary Net
Insight Consulting AB, which shall transfer the options of both Series 1 and Series 2 to employees of the
group. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one B share. The warrants shall be issued free of
charge to Net Insight Consulting AB.
Below is a description of the terms and conditions for each of the option series.
Series
1
The company is proposed to transfer not more than 3,700,000 warrants in Series 1 at a price
corresponding to the market value of the warrant (i.e. the warrant premium). Warrants of Series 1 may be
transferred to employees not employed within the company’s U.S. or UK operations. Warrants of Series 1 may
be transferred to participants, current or new employees, at one or several occasions from and including 8
June 2020 until and including 19 June 2020.
Each warrant of Series 1 shall, during a period from 19 June 2023 until 19 September 2023, entitle the holder
to subscribe for one new B share in Net Insight at an exercise price corresponding to 120 per cent of the
volume-weighted average price of the company’s B share as quoted on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period 25
May 2020 – 5 June 2020.
Series 2
The company is proposed to transfer not more than 3,700,000 warrants in Series 2 at a
price corresponding to the market value of the warrant (i.e. the warrant premium). Warrants of Series 2 may
be transferred to employees not employed within the company’s U.S. or UK operations. Warrants of Series 2
may be transferred to participants, current or new employees, at one or several occasions from and including
19 November 2020 until and including 2 December 2020.
Each warrant of Series 2 shall, during a period from 2 December 2023 until 2 March 2024, entitle the holder
to subscribe for one new B share in Net Insight at an exercise price corresponding to 120 per cent of the
volume-weighted average price of the company’s B share as quoted on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period 5
November 2020 – 18 November 2020.
Transfer of warrants in accordance with the above may only be made to the extent that the total number of
warrants of Series 1 and Series 2 in total does not exceed 3,700,000 warrants.
Subscription etc.
The issued warrants of Series 1 and Series 2 shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights,
only be subscribed for by Net Insight Consulting AB – a wholly owned subsidiary to Net Insight – whereupon
this company shall offer warrants of Series 1 and Series 2 to the participants in each program. The transfer
of warrants of Series 1 and Series 2 shall be made at a price corresponding to the warrants’ market value at
the time for transfer (the warrant premium), calculated according to the Black & Scholes formula. The
valuation of the warrants shall be made by an independent appraiser or auditor firm. The company shall, in
connection with the transfer of warrants of Series 1 and Series 2 to the participants, reserve a pre-emption
right regarding the warrants if the participant’s employment or assignment within the group is terminated or
if the participant wishes to transfer the warrants.
Recalculation due to split, consolidation, new share issue, etc.
The exercise price for Series 1
and Series 2, determined as set out above, shall be rounded to the nearest SEK 0.10, whereby SEK 0.05 shall
be rounded downwards. The exercise price and the number of B shares that each employee stock option entitles
to subscription for, shall be recalculated in the event of a split, consolidation, new share issue etc. in
accordance with market terms. Upon full exercise of the warrants in Series 1, the share capital will
increase by SEK 148,000 and upon full exercise of the warrants in Series 2, the share capital will increase
by SEK 148,000. However, the share capital may in total not increase with more than SEK 148,000 as a result
of the exercise of warrants in LTI 2020 since an issue of warrants in one of series reduces the number of
warrants in the other series, correspondingly.
Allocation of warrants
The right to acquire warrants of Series 1 and Series 2 shall accrue to
employees not employed by the company’s U.S. or UK operations, which have entered into a pre-emption
agreement with Net Insight AB. The maximum allocation within the framework of LTI 2020 amounts to 3,700,000
warrants.
Regardless of which Series, warrants shall be offered in accordance with the following: (i) the CEO shall
receive not more than 600,000 warrants; (ii) other members of the group management (approximately eight
individuals) shall receive not more than 300,000 warrants per person; and (iii) other key employees
(approximately 20 individuals) shall receive not more than 150,000 warrants per person. In case of
over-subscription, the number of warrants shall be reduced pro rata, i.e. with the same percentage share for
all participants.
In connection with the grant of warrants, the Board of Directors shall have the right to resolve on
adjustments in order to fulfil organisational changes, specific rules or market conditions abroad.
Board
members shall not be eligible to participate in LTI 2020.
Costs
The transfer of warrants in Series 1 and Series 2 shall be made at a price corresponding to
the market value of the warrants and therefore no social security contributions are to be paid by the group
in relation to the issue and transfer of the warrants. The market value of the warrants is, in accordance
with a preliminary valuation made based on a market value on the underlying B share corresponding to SEK
1.80, SEK 0.35 per warrant, assuming an exercise price (rounded off) of SEK 2.20 per B share. The Black
& Scholes valuation model has been used for valuing the warrants, assuming a risk-free interest of -0.35
per cent and a volatility of 38 per cent.
To encourage participation in the LTI 2020, the intention is that employees who choose to participate in the
program will receive a premium subsidy in the form of extra salary of an amount after tax, calculated by
applying a tax rate of 50 percent, equivalent to 50 percent of the option premium paid. The premium subsidy
is paid through two identical payments after the second and the third year under the duration of LTI 2020,
provided that the participant is employed within the Net Insight Group at the time of payment. Net Insight’s
costs, including social security costs, of above extra salary payments amount to approximately SEK 1.9
million.
The total costs, excluding other expenses for LTI 2020 related to fees to external advisors and costs for
administration of the programme, are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 1.9 million during the term of
the programme, under the assumption of a share price of SEK 1.80 at implementation of the programme.
Implementation
The Board of Directors is entitled to resolve on the detailed conditions for the
implementation of LTI 2020. The Board of Directors shall thereby be entitled to make minor adjustments in
the annual general meeting’s resolution if the board considers there are special reasons thereto.
Effect on important key ratios
The costs for LTI 2020 amount to approximately 0.4 per cent of Net
Insight’s revenues for the financial year 2019 and approximately 1.5 per cent of Net Insight’s planned
salary costs for the financial year 2020.
Dilution of existing shares and votes
Based on the number of outstanding shares and votes in the
company, LTI 2020 implies, upon exercise of all 3,700,000 warrants in LTI 2020, a full dilution
corresponding to approximately 0.94 per cent of the total number of shares and 0.92 per cent of the votes in
the company. There are no outstanding incentive programmes that can lead to dilution of the number of shares
or votes.
Information about Net Insight’s current incentive programmes is available in the annual report for the
financial year 2019, and on the company’s website, www.netinsight.net.
Preparation of the proposal
The proposal has been prepared in consultation with external advisors
and has been reviewed by the remuneration committee and the Board of Directors during February and March
2020.
Majority Requirement
A resolution to approve LTI 2020 is valid only if supported by shareholders
holding not less than nine-tenths of both the votes and shares represented at the annual general meeting.
Proposal regarding issue of warrants in Series 1 (item 15 (b))
The Board of Directors
proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to issue of not more than 3,700,000 warrants for
subscription of B shares, whereby the company’s share capital may be increased by not more than SEK 148,000
at full subscription, corresponding to approximately 0.94 per cent of the total share capital and 0.92 per
cent of the total number of votes in Net Insight.
The right to subscribe for warrants for subscription only accrues to the subsidiary Net Insight Consulting
AB, with the right and obligation to dispose of the warrants as described above. Each warrant entitles the
holder to subscribe for one B share. The warrants shall be issued free of charge to Net Insight AB. There
can be no over-allotment.
Proposal regarding issue of warrants in Series 2 (item 15 (c))
The Board of Directors
proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to issue of not more than 3,700,000 warrants for
subscription of B shares, whereby the company’s share capital may be increased by not more than SEK 148,000
at full subscription, corresponding to approximately 0.94 per cent of the total share capital and 0.92 per
cent of the total number of votes in Net Insight.
The right to subscribe for warrants for subscription
only accrues to the subsidiary Net Insight Consulting AB, with the right and obligation to dispose of the
warrants as described above. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one B share. The warrants
shall be issued free of charge to Net Insight Consulting AB. There can be no over-allotment.
Proposal for resolution regarding authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve to repurchase
and transfer of own shares (item 16)
The Board of Directors proposes that the annual general
meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to resolve to repurchase, on one or several occasions until the
next annual general meeting, as many own shares as may be purchased without the company’s holding at any
time exceeding two per cent of the total number of shares in the company. The shares shall be purchased on
Nasdaq Stockholm and only at a price per share within the price range applicable, i.e. the range between the
highest purchase price and the lowest selling price.
The Board of Directors also proposes that the annual general meeting authorises the Board of Directors to
resolve, on one or several occasions until the next annual general meeting, to transfer (sell) own shares.
Transfers may be carried out on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price within the price range applicable, i.e. the
range between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price. Transfers may also be made in other
ways, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, against cash payment or against payment
through set-off or in kind, or otherwise on special conditions. Upon such transfers, the price shall be
established so that it is not below market terms. However, a discount to the stock market price may apply,
in line with market practice. Transfers of own shares may be made of up to such number of shares as is held
by the Company at the time of the Board of Director’s resolution regarding the transfer.
The purpose of the authorisation to repurchase own shares is to promote efficient capital usage in the
company, to provide flexibility as regards the company’s possibilities to distribute capital to its
shareholders and to provide hedging for the company’s option programme. The purpose of the authorization to
transfer own shares is to enable the Board of Directors to make corporate acquisitions, product acquisitions
or enter into collaboration agreements, or to raise working capital or broaden the shareholder base or for
use in the context of the company’s incentive plans or to provide hedging for the company’s option
