Long-term incentive program 2022 and acquisition and transfer of own shares

The Annual General Meeting decided in accordance with the Board’s proposal of a long-term incentive program 2022 (“LTI 2022”), consisting of three parts: Share Matching Plan 2022, Performance Share Plan 2022 and Special Projects Incentive 2022. LTI 2022 comprises a maximum of 1,370,000 shares of series B.

The Share Matching Plan 2022 covers all permanent employees. The participants can save up to five percent of the cash base salary, for purchase of shares of series B in Saab. If the purchased shares are retained for three years and employment within the Saab Group continues, the employee will be granted a corresponding number of shares of series B by Saab free of consideration. The program covers a maximum of 1,005,000 shares of series B.

The Performance Share Plan 2022 is directed at a maximum of 200 key employees including the CEO. The participants can save up to 7.5 percent of the cash base salary for purchase of shares of series B in Saab. If the purchased shares are retained for three years and employment within the Saab Group continues, the employee is entitled to matching of performance shares, free of consideration, provided that the performance targets are met. The program entitles the employee to allotment of a maximum of 2-7 performance shares for each purchased share, depending on the group belonging. The number of performance shares is linked to three performance targets: organic sales growth (30% weight), EBIT margin (30% weight) and free cash flow (40% weight) during the financial year 2022. The Performance Share Plan 2022 covers a maximum of 200,000 shares of series B in Saab.

Special Projects Incentive 2022 is directed at a maximum of 100 key employees, including the CEO. Special Projects Incentive 2022 is a complement to the Performance Share Plan 2022. Participation in the program also presupposes participation in the Performance Share Plan 2022 or the Share Matching Plan 2022. The program entitles the employee to allotment of performance shares corresponding to a maximum of 15-52.5 per cent of the cash base salary for the financial year 2022 depending on group belonging, provided that the employment remains for three years and that performance targets are reached. The allotment of performance shares are based on the achievement of ten equally weighted performance targets during 2022, related to Saab’s special projects within the product areas Gripen, airborne radar systems (AEW&C), submarines, missiles, combat management systems and advanced pilot training systems. For the CEO and other members of the Group Management, allotment of performance shares in the program and the Performance Share Plan 2022 together, may in total amount to a maximum of 75 per cent of the cash base salary for the CEO and 60 per cent of the cash base salary for the other members of the Group Management. The program covers a maximum of 165,000 shares of series B in Saab.

The Annual General Meeting also decided to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on acquisition of a maximum of 1,370,000 shares of series B to secure delivery of shares to participants in Saab’s incentive program. The Shareholders’ Meeting further decided that no more than 1,370,000 shares of series B may be transferred, free of consideration, to participants in LTI 2022. Transfers are normally made during the financial year 2025 and in February 2026 according to the conditions for LTI 2022.

Acquisition and transfer of own shares

The Annual General Meeting decided on authorizing the Board to, before the next Annual General Meeting, decide on the acquisition of shares of series B up to a maximum of ten percent of the total number of shares in the Company. The purpose of the authorization is to be able to adjust the Company’s capital structure and thereby contribute to an increased shareholder value as well as to enable a continuous use of acquired shares in connection with potential acquisitions of companies and for the Company’s share-related incentive programs.

The Board of Directors was further authorized to, before the next Annual General Meeting, decide on transfer of own shares in connection with acquisition of companies. The purpose of the authorization is to provide the Board of Directors with increased scope for action in connection with financing of acquisitions of companies.

It was also decided that the Company shall have the right to, in consideration of earlier years’ established incentive programs, before the next Annual General Meeting, over the stock exchange transfer a maximum of 1,290,000 shares of series B in order to cover certain expenses, mainly social security payments.

Amendments of the Articles of Association

The Annual General Meeting decided in accordance with the Board’s proposal for amendments of the Articles of Association by adding a new § 15 in order to allow flexibility in connection with shareholders’ meeting, as well as editorial changes (in § 12) due to changes to statutory law.

Proposal from the shareholder the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society

The Annual General Meeting decided not to approve the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society’s proposal to stop all of Saab’s deliveries of military technology and equipment to the belligerent parties in the war in Yemen.
