12.        Resolution on the Board’s proposed guidelines for remuneration to senior executives

On April 23, 2015, the AGM voted to adopt the Board’s proposed guidelines for compensation of senior executives. The Board proposes that the 2016 AGM vote to adopt the Board’s proposed guidelines for compensation of senior executives.

Main contents of the proposal:

1. The guidelines must be based on the Swedish government’s “Riktlinjer för anställningsvillkor för ledande befattningshavare i företag med statligt      ägande” (Guidelines for Conditions of Employment for Executives in State-Owned Companies) from April 20, 2009.
   
   
2. Total compensation for executives shall be well balanced, competitive, subject to a salary ceiling, reasonable, appropriate and shall promote good ethics and a good corporate culture. Compensation shall not be market leading in relation to comparable companies, but shall be characterized by moderation. This should also guide the total compensation paid to other employees, which the CEO must report annually to the Board.
   
   
3. Individual premium-based pension plans are taken out for the President & Group CEO and other executives employed at PostNord AB in Sweden, with contributions not to exceed 30 percent of fixed monthly salary. The necessary insurance policies are contracted within the scope of this contribution.
   
   
4. The pensionable age for employees in Sweden is 65 years. Senior executives who are employed under Norwegian labor law are subject to the pension arrangements collectively agreed within the Norwegian company. The pensionable age is 65 years.

Senior executives employed in Denmark, pensions are included in an amount corresponding to 10% of the agreed monthly salary. The pensionable age is that laid down in Danish legislation.
