THE BOARD’S PROPOSAL ON GUIDELINES FOR REMUNERATION AND OTHER TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES (item 13)

Background and reasons

The Remuneration Committee has evaluated the application of the guidelines for remuneration to senior executives of Saab AB that were resolved at the Annual General Meeting in 2014 and the current remuneration structures and remuneration levels in the Company. The Remuneration Committee is of the opinion that the guidelines that were resolved in 2014 achieve their purposes to facilitate the recruitment and retention of senior executives.

The Remuneration Committee has recommended the Board of Directors to propose to the Annual General Meeting to adopt principles of remuneration with the same content as those that were resolved at the Annual General Meeting in 2014.

In light of the above, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on the following guidelines for remuneration and other terms of employment for senior executives.

Guidelines

The senior executives comprise the President and other members of the Group Management. The members of this group are presented on the Company’s website. In some special cases, these guidelines may also comprise Board Members of Saab AB, as described below.

Saab shall offer market terms, enabling the Company to recruit and retain senior executives. To the greatest extent possible, remuneration structures shall be characterised by predictability with respect to both the cost for the Company and the benefit for the employee. They shall be based on factors such as position, competence, experience and performance. Benchmarking shall be made regularly relative to comparable industries and markets.

The Board’s proposal is based mainly on agreements in effect between Saab AB and individual executives. No board fees are to be paid to members of the Group Management for participation on the boards of the business areas or Saab subsidiaries.

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for developing and reviewing remuneration and other employment terms for the Group Management.

The Board shall be entitled to divert from the guidelines, if there are reasonable grounds to do so in an individual case.

These guidelines apply from the Annual General Meeting 2015.

Fixed remuneration

Cash remuneration shall consist of fixed salary. The fixed salary shall be reviewed annually as per 1 January for all members of the Group Management. The fixed salary shall be at market terms and based on factors such as position, competence, experience and performance.

Variable remuneration

Saab’s operations are mainly characterised by the development of technically advanced products and systems. Products are marketed, further developed, produced and maintained during long periods of time, in some cases three to four decades, which generally entails substantial investments and long-term customer relations all over the world. Consequently, it is important that senior executives have a long-term view and a long-term commitment in the Company’s operations and profits. Therefore long-term incentive is especially well suited to Saab and its shareholders. The long-term variable remuneration consists of share based incentive programs.

The President and senior executives are entitled to participate in the long-term share based incentive programs resolved by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

In extraordinary cases, agreements of a one-time nature for variable cash remuneration may be made, provided that such agreements are made solely on an individual basis for recruitment or retention purposes only, or as compensation for extraordinary efforts beyond the individual’s ordinary assignment, and that such remuneration shall never exceed the amount of the fixed annual salary and shall not be paid more than once a year per individual. Resolutions on such remuneration shall be made by the Board based on a proposal from the Remuneration Committee.

Variable cash remuneration shall not be paid in other cases.

Incentive programs proposed to the Annual General Meeting 2015

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to implement a long-term incentive program, consisting of Share Matching Plan 2015 and Performance Share Plan 2015 (“LTI 2015”).

The terms and estimated costs for the LTI 2015 are presented in the Board’s complete proposal to the Annual General Meeting.

Other benefits

All members of the Group Management may be entitled to other benefits in accordance with local practice. The benefits shall contribute to facilitating the executive’s discharge of his or her duties. These benefits shall not constitute a material part of the total compensation and shall be equivalent to what is considered reasonable in relation to market practice. Other benefits may for example be a company car, travels, overnight accommodation and medical insurance.

Pension

For pension agreements entered into after 1 January 2005, the pension age is 62. In addition to the ITP agreement, the pension is part of a defined premium based contribution plan where provisions are made annually. For the President, the provision is equivalent to maximum 35 per cent of the fixed salary. For other senior executives the percentage is based on a set of regulations in the so-called Saab plan. According to this plan, the percentage is dependent on the number of years remaining until the age of retirement upon joining the plan. The aggregate insurance balance should cover a targeted pension from 65 years of age of approximately 32.5 per cent of salary levels between 20 and 30 basic income amounts and approximately 50 per cent of segments above 30 basic income amounts.

All senior executives may also be entitled to strengthened disability pension and survivors’ pension.

Miscellaneous terms

All executives in the Group Management, including the President, may terminate their employment with six months’ notice. If the employment is terminated by Saab, the notice period is six months, and after the notice period, severance equal to one year’s salary is paid. An additional year’s salary is payable if no new employment has been obtained during the first 18 months from the time the notice of termination was served.

With respect to employment agreements made after 1 January 2005, and in cases where Saab terminates the employment, a maximum severance pay of 18 months is payable in addition to the six-month notice period.

In both cases, any income from termination pay and severance pay will be deducted against income from other employment during the corresponding time.

Consultant fees to Board Members

Saab AB Board Members, elected by the Shareholders’ Meeting, may in special cases receive a fee for services performed within their respective areas of expertise, separately from their Board duties and for a limited period of time. Compensation for these services shall be paid at market terms.

Information in the Annual Report note 37

Note 37 of the Annual Report includes a description of existing remunerations for senior executives, including fixed and variable compensation, long-term incentive programs and other benefits.

THE BOARD’S PROPOSAL ON A LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM 2015 AND ACQUISITION AND TRANSFER OF OWN SHARES (item 14)

Background and reasons for the proposals

The Shareholders’ Meeting of Saab AB (“Saab”) has, for a number of years, resolved on long-term Share Matching Plan for all employees and Performance Share Plan for senior executives and other key employees. The Board of Directors finds it important and in all shareholders’ interest that employees of the Group have a long- term interest in a good value development of the share in the Company. The Board of Directors has also implemented a policy with a requirement of certain shareholdings for senior executives. In light of this, the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting the below long-term incentive program for employees (“LTI 2015”). The proposed terms and conditions for LTI 2015 correspond to the terms and conditions imposed by LTI 2014, that have been deemed effective. LTI 2015, as LTI 2014, consists of two parts, a Share Matching Plan and a Performance Share Plan. LTI 2015 is proposed to comprise a maximum of 1,340,000 shares of series B in Saab. The performance target named “operating cash flow” in LTI 2014 is in LTI 2015 named “free cash flow”. The changed name implies no change in substance.

LTI 2015 enables present and future employees to become shareholders in Saab and includes a requirement of own investment in shares in Saab. The purpose of the program is to stimulate employees to continued long-term commitment and continued good performance as well as to increase the Group’s attractiveness as an employer. In view of this, LTI 2015 is considered to have a positive effect on Saab’s future development and thus be of advantage to both the shareholders and the employees in the Saab Group.

It is the intention of the Board of Directors to propose long-term incentive programs also to future Annual General Meetings.

Costs, dilution and effects on key figures

The total effect on the income statement is estimated to approximately MSEK 268 unevenly distributed over the years 2016-2019. The costs shall be compared with the Saab Group’s total remuneration costs 2014, including social security costs, amounting to MSEK 9,590.

The calculations are based on assumptions that all available shares in the LTI 2015 will be utilized.

Costs that affect the Income Statement, but not the Cash Flow

Compensation costs, corresponding to the value of matching shares transferred to employees is estimated to approximately MSEK 208. The compensation costs are distributed over the years 2016-2019.

Social security charges as a result of transfer of shares to employees at an assumed average share price at matching at SEK 200 are estimated to amount to approximately MSEK 60. The social security costs are distributed over the years 2016-2019.

Costs that affect the Income Statement and the Cash Flow

The cost for acquiring own shares is estimated to maximum MSEK 268 at an assumed share price of SEK 200 and a maximum of 1,340,000 shares.

Dilution and effects on key figures

The Company has approximately 109 million issued shares. As per 31 December 2014, the Company held 3,650,364 own shares of series B. In order to implement the LTI 2015 a total of 1,340,000 shares of series B are required, corresponding to approximately 1.2 per cent of the total number of issued shares.

As calculated as per 31 December 2014, the number of shares to be transferred within the scope of the ongoing long-term incentive programs 2011, 2012 and 2013, including shares to cover social security costs, amounts to approximately 2,035,000 shares corresponding to approximately 1.9 per cent of the total number of issued shares. The long-term incentive program 2014 comprises 1,340,000 shares, corresponding to approximately 1.2 per cent of the total number of issued shares, and is not included in the above calculation as it was launched in January 2015.

Out of the 1,340,000 shares of series B required for the LTI 2015, approximately 1,040,000 shares may be transferred to employees free of consideration, which could cause a dilutive effect of approximately 1 per cent on earnings per share. The remaining 300,000 shares are intended to be transferred on Nasdaq Stockholm in order to cover social security costs.

Hedge

As the main alternative, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisitions of own shares of series B on Nasdaq Stockholm, which subsequently may be transferred to the participants in Saab’s long-term Share Matching Plan and Performance Share Plan as well as transferred on Nasdaq Stockholm to cover certain costs associated with LTI 2015, mainly social security costs. Furthermore, the Board of Directors proposes that the Shareholders’ Meeting resolves on transfer of own shares of series B, free of consideration, to the participants of LTI 2015. The detailed terms and conditions for the Board of Directors’ main alternative are presented below.

In the event that the required majority under items 14 b).I and 14 b).II below is not reached, the Board of Directors proposes that Saab should be able to enter into an equity swap agreement with a third party, in accordance with item 14 c) below.

Preparation of the proposal

The LTI 2015 has been prepared by the Remuneration Committee and in consultation with the Board of Directors. The proposal has been adopted by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors’ proposal

The Board of Directors’ proposal for the resolution below entails that the Annual General Meeting resolves a) to implement LTI 2015, b) to authorize the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisitions of own shares on Nasdaq Stockholm and that the acquired shares may be transferred, free of consideration, to the participants in LTI 2015, or, in the event that the required majority under b) is not reached, c) that Saab shall be entitled to enter into an equity swap agreement with a third party.

14 a) Implementation of LTI 2015

LTI 2015 comprises of two parts, Share Matching Plan 2015 and Performance Share Plan 2015. Participation in LTI 2015 requires own investment in shares in Saab. Investment made under the Performance Share Plan 2015 counts also as a basis for participation in the Share Matching Plan 2015, however, only up to an amount of maximum 5 per cent of the cash base salary.

Share Matching Plan 2015

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on a long-term Share Matching Plan 2015 comprising a maximum of 900,000 shares of series B in Saab, according to the principal guidelines below:

1. All permanent employees within the Saab Group, including employees who are covered by Performance Share Plan 2015, with the exception of what is mentioned in item 3) below, will be offered to participate in the Share Matching Plan 2015.

2. Employees who participate in the Share Matching Plan 2015 can during a twelve-month period from the implementation of the plan, save up to a maximum of 5 per cent of the cash base salary for the purchase of shares of series B on Nasdaq Stockholm. If the purchased shares are retained by the employee for three years from the date of investment and employment within the Saab Group has not been terminated during the entire three-year period, the employee will be allocated by the Saab Group the corresponding number of shares of series B free of consideration. The Board of Directors may grant limited exemptions from the requirement of employment during the full three-year period.

3. Participation in the Share Matching Plan 2015 presupposes that such participation is legally possible as well as possible with reasonable administrative cost and financial efforts according to the assessment of the Company. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to implement an alternative incentive solution for employees in such countries where participation in Share Matching Plan 2015 is not advisable. Such alternative incentive solution shall, as far as practically possible, correspond to the terms for the Share Matching Plan 2015.

Performance Share Plan 2015

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on a long-term Performance Share Plan 2015 for a number of key employees, comprising a maximum of 440,000 shares of series B in Saab. The principal guidelines of the proposal are listed below.

1. Up to 175 key employees, including the President, with the exception of what is mentioned in item 4) below, will be offered to participate in the Performance Share Plan 2015.

2. Employees who participate in the Performance Share Plan 2015 can during a twelve-month period from the implementation of the plan, save up to a maximum of 7.5 per cent of the cash base salary to purchase shares of series B on Nasdaq Stockholm. If the purchased shares are retained by the employee for three years from the date of investment and employment within the Saab Group has not been terminated during the entire three-year period, the employee will be entitled to matching of performance shares as set out below, free of consideration. The Board of Directors may grant limited exemptions from the requirement of employment during the full three-year period.

   Group 1                 Up to 142 employees in Management Teams, certain specialists and Project Managers may be entitled to a performance match of up to two shares for each purchased share.

   Group 2                 Up to 20 Senior Managers may be entitled to a performance match of up to four shares for each purchased share.

   Group 3                 Up to 12 members of the Group Management may be entitled to a performance match of up to five shares for each purchased share.

   Group 4                 The President may be entitled to a performance match of up to seven shares for each purchased share.

3. The number of performance shares is linked to the performance targets established by the Board of Directors. The conditions for the performance matching are based on three independent targets: Organic sales growth[1], EBIT margin[2] and free cash flow[3]. The relative apportionment between the targets is:

   • Up to 30 per cent of the maximum allotment is attributable to organic sales growth during the financial year 2016.

   • Up to 40 per cent of the maximum allotment is attributable to EBIT margin during the financial year 2016.

   • Up to 30 per cent of the maximum allotment is attributable to free cash flow during the financial year 2016.

   The performance targets will be established by the Board of Directors with a minimum level and a maximum level for each performance target. The Board of Directors will resolve on the outcome of the performance matching after the end of the one-year performance measuring period, i.e. the financial year 2016 and will in connection therewith give information on the performance targets. If the maximum levels for the performance targets are reached or exceeded, the performance matching will amount to (and not exceed) the maximum number of 440,000 shares. If the performance outcome falls short of the maximum level but exceeds the minimum level, a linear proportioned performance matching will occur. No performance matching will occur if the performance outcome amounts to or falls short of the minimum level. Performance shares are allotted three years after the investment under item 2) above, i.e. normally during 2019 and in January 2020.

4. Participation in the Performance Share Plan 2015 presupposes that such participation is legally possible as well as possible with reasonable administrative cost and financial efforts according to the assessment of the Company. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to implement an alternative incentive solution for employees in such countries where participation in Performance Share Plan 2015 is not advisable. Such alternative incentive solution shall, as far as practically possible, correspond to the terms for the Performance Share Plan 2015.

5. Before the performance matching is finally determined, the Board of Directors shall verify whether the performance matching is reasonable considering the Company’s financial results and position, conditions on the stock market and other circumstances. If the Board of Directors considers otherwise, it shall reduce the number of performance shares to be matched to the lower number of shares deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.

14 b) Authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisitions of shares and resolution on transfers of own shares to the participants in LTI 2015

14 b).I - Authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisition of shares of series B in Saab on Nasdaq Stockholm

• Acquisitions of shares of series B may only be effected on Nasdaq Stockholm.

• A maximum of 1,340,000 shares of series B in Saab may be acquired to secure delivery of shares to participants in Saab’s long-term Share Matching Plan and Performance Share Plan and for subsequent transfers on Nasdaq Stockholm to cover certain costs associated with LTI 2015, mainly social security costs.

• Acquisitions of shares of series B in Saab on Nasdaq Stockholm may only be made at a price within the price range (spread) on Nasdaq Stockholm applicable from time to time, meaning the spread between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price.

• The authorization may be utilised on one or several occasions, however, only until the Annual General Meeting 2016.

14 b).II - Resolution on transfers of acquired own shares of series B to participants in LTI 2015

Transfers of shares of series B in Saab may be made on the following terms and conditions.

• Transfers may be made only of shares of series B in Saab, whereby no more than 1,340,000 shares of series B in Saab may be transferred, free of consideration, to participants in LTI 2015.

• Right to acquire shares of series B in Saab free of consideration shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be granted to such persons within the Saab Group who are participants in LTI 2015. Further, subsidiaries of Saab shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be entitled to acquire shares of series B in Saab free of consideration, whereby such company shall be obligated to, in accordance with the terms and conditions of LTI 2015, transfer the shares to such persons within the Saab Group who participate in LTI 2015.

• Transfers of shares of series B in Saab shall be made free of consideration at the time and on the other terms and conditions that participants in LTI 2015 have the right to acquire shares, i.e. normally during the financial year 2019 and in January 2020.

• The number of shares of series B in Saab that may be transferred under LTI 2015 may be subject to recalculation as a result of an intervening bonus issue, split, rights issue and/or other similar corporate events.

14 c) Equity swap agreement with third party

In the event that the required majority under item 14 b) above cannot be reached, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves that the expected financial exposure of LTI 2015 shall be hedged by Saab entering into an equity swap agreement with a third party on terms and conditions in accordance with market practice, whereby the third party in its own name shall acquire and transfer shares of series B in Saab to employees who participate in LTI 2015. Additional costs for such equity swap agreement amount to approximately MSEK 10.

Conditions

The General Meeting’s resolution to implement LTI 2015 in accordance with item 14 a) above is conditional upon the General Meeting resolving either in accordance with the proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisitions of shares of series B in Saab on Nasdaq Stockholm and resolution on transfers to participants in LTI 2015 of acquired own shares of series B in Saab in accordance with item 14 b) above, or that an equity swap agreement with a third party may be entered into in accordance with item 14 c) above.

Majority requirements

The General Meeting’s resolution to implement LTI 2015 under item 14 a) above requires that more than half of the votes cast are in favour of the proposal. The resolution to authorize the Board of Directors to acquire shares on Nasdaq Stockholm and the resolution on transfers to participants in LTI 2015 under items 14 b).I and 14 b).II above require that the resolution is supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of the votes cast and votes represented at the meeting. The resolution that Saab may enter into an equity swap agreement with a third party under item 14 c) above requires that more than half of the votes cast are in favour of the proposal.

Other

For a description of Saab’s other share-related incentive programs, reference is made to note 37 in Saab’s Annual Report for the financial year 2014.

THE BOARD’S PROPOSAL ON ACQUISITION AND TRANSFER OF OWN SHARES (item 15)

• The authorization may be utilized on one or several occasions up to the next Annual General Meeting.

15 b) Authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve on transfer of own shares in connection with acquisitions of companies
