The Board proposes that the AGM resolves upon guidelines for remuneration to senior executives principally entailing the following. Remuneration and other terms and conditions of employment for senior executives shall be based on market conditions and be competitive in all markets where Getinge operates, to ensure that competent and skilful employees can be attracted, motivated and retained. The total remuneration to senior executives shall comprise basic salary, variable remuneration, pensions and other benefits. The variable remuneration shall be limited and connected to predetermined and measurable criteria elaborated with the purpose to promote the long-term added value of the company. In addition to the variable remuneration, approved share or share-related incentive programs may occasionally be implemented. The Board shall retain the right to deviate from the guidelines if motivated by particular reasons on an individual basis.

RESOLUTION REGARDING (A) IMPLEMENTATION OF A LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM (LTIP 2016) AND (B) HEDGING ACTIVITIES (item 19)

The Board proposes that the AGM resolves on implementation of a long-term incentive program (”LTIP 2016”) for senior executives and a number of key employees.

It is proposed that LTIP 2016 shall comprise the Group CEO and CFO and the executive management (Getinge Executive Team) and other senior executives and key employees within Getinge Group. The participants in the LTIP 2016 are below jointly referred to as the “Participants”.

In order to hedge the undertakings and costs of Getinge related to LTIP 2016, the Board further proposes that the Articles of Association shall be amended to enable Getinge to issue a new, convertible and redeemable series of shares (C shares), that the Board shall be authorised to resolve on a new share issue and repurchase of series C shares and that the AGM resolves on transfer of series B shares in Getinge to the Participants (see section B below).

A. Proposal for implementation of LTIP 2016

The Board proposes that the AGM 2016 resolves on implementation of  LTIP 2016 in accordance with the main terms and principles below.

(a) The program shall comprise maximum 439,390 Getinge shares of series B (”Performance Shares”), of which 87,880 may be transferred by Getinge in order to hedge cash flow costs, mainly social security contributions, related to LTIP 2016.

(b) The program is proposed to comprise CEO and CFO (the ”CEO/CFO Program”) and the Getinge Executive Team (exclusive of CEO and CFO) involving 10 people, and additionally a maximum of 75 other senior executives and key employees in Getinge Group (the ”Management Program”).

(c) Subject to the performance and development of certain Performance Conditions (as defined below) during the financial years 2016-2018 (the ”Performance Period”), the Participants will receive Performance Shares free of charge on the Allotment Date (as defined below).

(d) The CEO has the possibility to receive a maximum of 18,000 Performance Shares and the CFO a maximum of 8000 Performance Shares. Senior executives within the Getinge Executive Team have the possibility to receive maximum 8000 Performance Shares and other key employees a maximum of 5000 Performance Shares.

(e) The performance conditions shall be determined by the Board according to the following principles (the ”Performance Conditions”). The allotment of Performance Shares in the CEO/CFO Program shall be based on the minimum level and the maximum target level, respectively, as resolved by the Board, in relation to the development of the EPS during the Performance Period. The allotment of Performance Shares within the scope of the Management Program shall be based (i) to 50 % on the on the minimum level and the maximum target level, respectively, as resolved by the Board, in relation to the development of the EPS during the Performance Period and (ii) to 50 % on the minimum level and the maximum target level, respectively, as resolved by the Board, in relation to the development of the group’s EBITA during 2016.

(f) It is required that the Performance Conditions established by the Board of Directors have to be achieved or exceeded in order for allotment of Performance Shares to take place. If the minimum level is not achieved, there will be no allotment of Performance Shares. If the maximum target level is achieved or exceeded, full allotment shall take place.

(g) The Board intends to present the established Performance Conditions in the annual report for the business year 2018 and the achievement of the Performance Conditions will be determined in connection with the publication of the year-end report for 2018.

(h) Allotment, based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions, will take place during the period after the AGM 2019 up to and including 30 June 2019 (the ”Allotment Date”). In order to receive Performance Shares on the Allotment Date it is required that the Participant, with some specific exceptions, has been permanently employed within Getinge Group during the entire Performance Period and that the employment has not been terminated on the Allotment Date.

(i) The number of Performance Shares shall be subject to recalculation in consequence of any intervening bonus issue, split, rights issue and/or similar corporate actions.

(j) Further, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to resolve on the detailed terms and conditions of LTIP 2016 and in this connection be authorized to make adjustments required in order to comply with specific regulations or market conditions abroad.

In order to hedge delivery of Performance Shares and to cover administrative costs, mainly costs for social security contributions, the Board of Directors proposes to resolve on a directed issue of convertible and redeemable C shares, followed by a repurchase and conversion into series B shares, and to resolve on transfer of own series B shares to senior executives in LTIP 2016 in accordance with section B below.

The maximum number of Performance Shares that may be allotted to the Participants under LTIP 2016 amounts to 439,390 Getinge shares of series B, provided that the Meeting resolves on hedging activities according the Board’s proposal, which corresponds to a dilution effect of approximately 0.18% of the share capital and 0.12% of the votes.

The costs for LTIP 2016, as reported in the income statement, are calculated according to the accounting principle IFRS 2 and allocated linearly over the Performance Period. Based on the assumption of an annual share price increase of 10% during the Performance Period and an assessment of future dividends on the Getinge share, the total cost for LTIP 2016, including social security contributions, will amount to approximately MSEK 93.7, provided that the Performance Conditions are fully met. If the Performance Conditions are achieved so that half of the Performance Shares are allotted to the Participants, the equivalent cost is estimated at MSEK 46.8. On an annual basis this is equal to approximately 0.14% of Getinge’s total staff costs during the financial year 2015.

Based on the annual results 2015, the costs for LTIP 2016, provided that the Performance Conditions are met in full in the cost estimate above, will have a negative impact of approximately 0.08 percentage units on Getinge’s operating margin and a reduced profit per share of approximately SEK 0.11. However, the Board considers the positive effects on Getinge’s financial results expected through LTIP 2016 to outweigh the costs related to the program.

LTIP 2016 has been initiated by the Board of Getinge and prepared in consultation with external advisors. The program has been processed by the Remuneration Committee and dealt with at board meetings during 2015 and at the beginning of 2016.

B. Hedging actions related to LTIP 2016

In order to implement LTIP 2016 in a cost-effective and flexible manner, the Board of Directors proposes that the obligations of the company for delivery and costs referable to Performance Shares primarily shall be hedged by a directed issue of convertible and redeemable C shares followed by repurchase and conversion to B shares in Getinge and a resolution on transfer of own series B shares to senior executives in accordance with the following.

1. Resolution on amendment of the Articles of Association The Articles of Association shall be amended in a way that will enable the issuance of a new series of shares, series C shares, which will entitle the holder to one (1) vote. The series C share shall not entitle to dividends. Furthermore, the series C share shall be redeemable at the quota value of the share (SEK 0.50) on the initiative of Getinge’s Board of Directors. In order to perform the proposed issuance, the Board proposes that the Meeting resolves on amendment of § 5 and some subsequent amendments of § 6 in the Articles of Association as follows.

The   conversion shall thereafter without delay be filed for registration with the   Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket) and shall be   executed when registered in the companies’ register and recorded in the share   register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB (the “Swedish Central Securities   Depository”).

2. Authorization of the Board to resolve on a directed new share issue of series C shares

Authorization of the Board to resolve on a directed issue of redeemable and convertible series C shares in Getinge on the following terms and conditions.

1. The maximum number of series C shares to be issued shall amount to 439,390.

2. The authorization may be exercised on one or several occasions until the Annual General Meeting 2017.

3. With deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the new shares may only be subscribed for by one external party after arrangement in advance.

4. The amount to be paid for each new share (the subscription price) shall equal the share’s quota value (SEK 0.50) at the time of subscription.

5. The new series C shares shall be subject to Chapter 4, Section 6 of the Swedish Companies Act (conversion clause) and Chapter 20, Section 31 of the Swedish Companies Act (redemption clause).

The purpose of the authorization is to hedge the undertakings of Getinge according to LTIP 2016 and, in terms of liquidity, to hedge payments of future social security contributions related to Performance Shares.

3. Authorization of the Board of Directors to repurchase issued series C shares

Authorization of the Board of Directors to resolve on repurchase of all issued redeemable and convertible series C shares in Getinge on the following terms and conditions.

12. Repurchase may also be made of a so-called interim share, by Euroclear Sweden AB designated as a Paid Subscribed Share (Sw. Betald Tecknad Aktie (BTA)), regarding a series C share.

The purpose of the authorization is to hedge the undertakings of Getinge according to LTIP 2016 and, in terms of liquidity, to hedge payments of future social security contributions related to Performance Shares.

4. Proposal for resolution on transfer of Getinge’s own shares of series B to Participants in LTIP 2016

Resolution on transfer of the company’s own shares of series B to Participants in LTIP 2016 on the following terms and conditions.

13. A maximum number of 439,390 Getinge shares may be transferred free of charge to Participants in LTIP 2016.

14. With a deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the right to acquire Getinge series B shares free of charge shall comprise Participants in LTIP 2016, with a right for each of the Participants to acquire the maximum number of shares stipulated in the terms and conditions of LTIP 2016.

15. Transfer of Getinge series B shares shall be made free of charge at the time for, and according to the terms for, the allotment of Getinge series B shares to Participants in LTIP 2016.

16. The number of Getinge series B shares that may be transferred under LTIP 2016 shall be recalculated due to any intervening bonus issue, split, rights issue and/or similar corporate actions.

Since LTIP 2016 initially in principle is not expected to give rise to any costs for social security contributions of Getinge (and since a resolution on transfer is valid only until the next Annual General Meeting), the Board of Directors has decided not to propose that the Annual General Meeting 2016 resolves on transfer of the company’s own series B shares on a regulated market for hedging of cash flow for social security payments. However, before any transfers of Getinge series B shares to Participants in LTIP 2016 can be made, the Board of Directors intends to propose to a later General Meeting to resolve on transfers of the company’s own series B shares on a regulated marked in order to hedge such payments.

5. Reasons for a deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights etc.

The reasons for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights are Getringe’s wish to implement the proposed incentive program LTIP 2016. Therefore, and in light of the above, the Board of Directors considers it to be advantageous to Getinge and the shareholders that the Participants in LTIP 2016 are invited to become shareholders of Getinge. In order to minimize the costs for LTIP 2016 the subscription price has been set to the quota value of the share.

The resolution of the Meeting to implement LTIP 2016 is subject to the resolution by the Meeting on the hedging activities stated in section B above. Accordingly, the Board of Directors proposes that the proposed resolutions on the implementation of LTIP 2016 according to section A above and the hedging activities in section B above are passed together as one resolution. A valid resolution of the AGM in accordance with section A and B above, requires that the Board’s proposal is supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the AGM.

The Board proposes that CEO is authorized to make such minor amendments of the above proposals that may be required at the registration with Bolagsverket and Euroclear Sweden AB.

DOCUMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION

Financial statements, Auditor’s Report and other documents pursuant to item 7, the Board’s reasoned statement under item 11 and the complete proposal for the resolutions under item 13, 18 and 19 will be available at the company and on the company’s website, www.getingegroup.com, as from Wednesday 9 March 2016 at the latest and will be sent to shareholders upon request. Copies will also be available at the AGM.

The Board and the CEO shall at the AGM, if any shareholder so requests and the Board believes that it can be done without significant harm to the company, provide information regarding circumstances that may affect the assessment of an item on the agenda, circumstances that can affect the assessment of the company’s or its subsidiaries’ financial position and the company’s relation to other companies within the Group.

The total number of shares in the company amounts to 238,323,377, whereof 15,940,050 shares of series A and 222,383,327 shares of series B. The total number of votes in the company amounts to 381,783,827.
