Guidelines for remuneration to senior executives

The AGM resolved on the adoption of guidelines for remuneration to senior executives principally entailing that the remuneration shall consist of a basic salary, a variable remuneration, other benefits and pension and all in all be competitive and in accordance with market practice. The variable remuneration shall be maximized in relation to the basic salary, tied to such performance that the relevant individual may influence and based on the outcome in relation to individual targets. The Board shall annually consider whether a share- or share price related incentive program shall be proposed to the Annual General Meeting.

The notice period shall normally be six months on the part of the employee. In case of notice of termination by the company, the notice period and the period during which severance payment is paid shall, all in all, not exceed 24 months. The pension rights shall be either benefit or fee-based, or a combination of both, with an individual pension age, however, not lower than 60 years.

Issue in kind

The AGM resolved on an issue in kind, whereby the company's share capital shall be increased by a maximum of 100 200 SEK by a new issue of not more than 50 100 B-shares. The reason for the issue in kind is that, in connection with Hexagon's acquisition of Leica Geosystems Holdings AG ("Leica") in October 2005, there were approximately 90 000 outstanding options which had been awarded employees within the former Leica Group. Following a merger between Leica and its former wholly-owned subsidiary Leica Geosystems AG, the options relate to shares in latter company. At present there are approximately 3 340 outstanding options.

The right to subscribe for the new Hexagon-shares in the issue in kind is granted to the option holders in Leica Geosystems AG or a bank engaged by Leica Geosystems AG in order to secure an appropriate handling and transfer of B-shares in Hexagon to the option holders. The option holders shall thereby make a contribution in kind of one (1) share in Leica Geosystems AG for each fifteen (15) B shares in Hexagon subscribed for and in addition be entitled to a cash consideration of CHF 473.80 less a pre-determined subscription price according to the option terms. Subscription and payment for the new shares shall take place no later than 19 May 2010, or such later date as decided by the Board of Directors. The new shares shall entitle to dividend resolved upon from the financial year 2011, i.e. also in respect of the financial year 2010.

Transfer of the company's own shares

The AGM resolved on the transfer of the company's own shares of series B, in order to, as a supplementary alternative to the issue in kind resolved by the AGM, enable the provision of shares to the option holders in Leica Geosystems AG.

The option holders in Leica Geosystems AG shall have the preferential right to acquire the shares, with the entitlement for each and every one of them to receive a cash consideration of CHF 473.80 and acquire a maximum of fifteen (15) shares of series B per option held, meaning that a maximum of 50 100 shares of series B may be transferred. The option holders shall be entitled to acquire shares until 19 May 2010 at the latest. Payment shall be made not later than by 19 May 2010 through transfer of shares in Leica Geosystems AG issued on the basis of outstanding options.

Authorisation of the Board to resolve on acquisition and transfer of the company's shares

The AGM resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to, on one or several occasions during the time period until the next annual general meeting, resolve on the acquisition and transfer of the company's own shares. Acquisitions and transfers may thereby be made of no more than such number of shares which from time to time represent 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the company. Acquisitions may be made on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm at the stock-exchange quotation applicable at the time of acquisition. Transfer may take place with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights at NASDAQ OMX Stockholm as well as to a third party in connection with the acquisition of a company or business. Payment for shares transferred shall be made in cash, by contribution in kind or by set-off. Transfer in connection with the acquisition of a company may take place at a market value appraised by the Board of Directors. The purpose of the authorisation is to give the Board of Directors the opportunity to adjust the company's capital structure and to finance acquisitions by utilisation of the company's own shares. The authorisation for repurchase also aims at making it possible for the company to utilise repurchased own shares in order to cover the company's future undertakings to deliver shares in accordance with the warrants programme resolved upon by the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 14 December 2007.
