The AGM adopted the income statements and balance sheets for 2021 and the Board of Directors and the President were discharged from personal liability.

The AGM approved the Board of Directors’ remuneration report.

It was resolved that Board fees be paid in a total amount of SEK 4,000,000, excluding fees for Committee work, distributed in the amount of SEK 1,500,000 (unchanged) to the Chairman of the Board and SEK 500,000 (unchanged) to each other member. Fees will be paid to the members of the Audit Committee as follows: the Chair of the Committee will receive SEK 175,000 and each other member will receive SEK 125,000.

The adopted Committee fees are unchanged.

In accordance with the Audit Committee’s recommendation, the auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers AB (PwC) was reelected auditor of the company, with Ann-Christine Hägglund as Auditor-in-Charge. PwC was elected until the close of the 2023 AGM. The auditors will be remunerated in return for approved invoices.

Peter Hofvenstam (CEO of Nordstjernan), Simon Blecher (fund manager at Carnegie Fonder), Tobias Kaj (fund manager at Lannebo Fonder) and Sussi Kvart (Handelsbanken Fonder) were appointed as members of the Nomination Committee for the period up to the close of the next AGM, with Peter Hofvenstam as Chair.

The AGM resolved on the guidelines for remuneration of senior executives, which means the maximum short-term variable remuneration payable to the CEO will be unchanged at 75 percent of fixed salary and the maximum amount payable to other members of the Senior Management Team will be unchanged at 40 or 50 percent of fixed salary.

The AGM authorized the Board, on one or several occasions during the period up to the next AGM, to make decisions on the repurchase of the company’s Series B shares up to an amount so that, at the given time following the acquisition, the company holds a maximum of 10 percent of all shares in the company. Purchases of shares are to be made on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price per share that is within the registered price interval for NCC’s Series B share at any given time. The purpose of the authorization is to give the Board greater scope to be able to adapt the company’s capital structure to the capital requirement from time to time.

The AGM authorized the Board, on one or several occasions during the period up to the next AGM, to make decisions on the transfer of a maximum of 200,000 Series B shares via Nasdaq Stockholm to cover costs, mainly costs for dividend compensation, social security fees and payments on the basis of the synthetic shares arising from previously outstanding long-term performance-based incentive programs (LTI 2019, LTI 2020 and LTI 2021).
