Matching will begin at a threshold levelof 2 percent CAGR and increase on a linear scale to full vesting of thisthird of the award at 8 percent CAGR.

* Up to one third of the award shall vest provided the compound annualgrowth rate (CAGR) of consolidated operating income between year 0 (2012financial year) and year 3 (2015 financial year) is between 5 and 15 percent,which corresponds to consolidated operating income of SEK 21.4 billion andSEK 28.1 billion for the financial year 2015.

* Up to one third of the award will be based on the cash conversionduring each of the years during the performance period, calculated as cashflow from operating activities divided by net income reconciled to cash. One ninth of the total award will vest for any year, i.e. financial years 2013, 2014 and 2015, if cash conversion is at or above 70 percent.

The Board of Directors considers that long-term value creation will bereflectedin the success of these targets, aligning executives with long-termshareholderinterests. There will be no alloca­tion of shares if none of thethresholdlevels have been achieved, i.e. CAGR is less than 2 percent for net salesandless than 5 percent for operating income, and a 70 percent cash conversionhasnot been achieved during the performance period. The minimum matching atthethreshold levels is 0. The maxi­mum number of performance matchingshares - 4shares, 6 shares and 9 shares respectively - will be allocated if themaximumperformance levels of CAGR of 8 percent for net sales and 15 percent foroperating income have been achieved, or exceeded, and a cash conversion of70percent or more has been achieved each year during the period.
