The board of directors' proposal regarding guidelines for compensation to senior executives (item 17)
According to chapter 8 section 51 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen), the board of directors is obliged to draw up a proposal for new guidelines for remuneration to senior executives when there is a need for substantial changes to the guidelines, but at any event at least every four years. The current guidelines were adopted at the 2020 annual general meeting and new guidelines must therefore be adopted at the 2024 annual general meeting.

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting decide on the following guidelines for remuneration to senior executives in Medivir. The proposed guidelines are in all material aspects corresponding to the guidelines adopted at the 2020 annual general meeting. However, it has been clarified that pension benefits can exceed 25 percent of the fixed salary if this follows from the applicable collective agreement. Furthermore, the notice period for the CEO has been adjusted.

Senior executives includes the managing director and other persons in the group management. The guidelines should be applied to compensation that is agreed upon, and changes that are made to already agreed compensation, after the guidelines have been adopted by the annual general meeting in 2024. The guidelines do not cover compensation that is decided by the general meeting.

The guidelines' promotion of Medivir's business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability

Medivir creates shareholder value by developing innovative cancer medicines for major medical needs, either in-house or in partnership with other companies. For further information on Medivir's business strategy, please visit the Company ́s website . The successful implementation of the business strategy and the safeguarding of Medivir's long-term interests, including its sustainability, requires that Medivir can recruit and retain competent employees who work to achieve maximum shareholder and customer value. This requires that Medivir can offer competitive remuneration. These guidelines enable senior executives to be offered a competitive total compensation.

In Medivir, long-term incentive programs have been established by two warrant programs and a share matching program. They have been decided by the general meeting and are therefore not covered by these guidelines. For the same reason, the incentive program that the board has proposed that the annual general meeting in 2024 should adopt is also not covered. More information about the previous incentive programs is available on Medivir ́s website.

The forms of compensation etc.

The compensation for senior executives must be market-based and may consist of the following components: fixed cash salary, variable cash compensation, pension benefits and other benefits. The general meeting can in addition - and independently of these guidelines - decide on, for example, share and share price-related compensation. The total compensation for senior executives should contain a balanced mix of the above-mentioned components and conditions in the event of termination as well as severance pay. The board should annually evaluate whether share or share price-related long-term incentive programs should be proposed to the general meeting.

The fixed cash salary must be individual and based on the senior executive's areas of responsibility and experience.

The variable cash compensation may amount to no more than 50 percent of the fixed annual cash salary.

For senior executives, pension benefits must be defined contribution unless the executive is covered by a defined benefit pension according to mandatory collective agreement provisions. Variable cash compensation must be pensionable.

The pension premiums for a defined contribution pension must amount to a maximum of 25 percent of the fixed annual cash salary, unless otherwise stipulated in the collective agreement. The board shall have the right to offer other solutions that are cost-equivalent for the company, regardless of the above.

Other benefits may include i.a. company car and occupational health care. Such benefits must be of limited value in relation to other compensation and be consistent with what is market-wise customary in the respective geographic market. Other benefits may total no more than 15 percent of the fixed annual cash salary.

Termination of employment

Upon termination of the senior executive's employment, a mutual notice period of no more than six months shall apply. As far as the CEO is concerned, however, the notice period in case of termination by the company can amount to a maximum of 12 months. Fixed cash salary should be paid during the notice period. As a starting point, severance payments or similar compensation shall not be paid.

Criteria for distribution of variable cash compensation, etc.

Variable cash compensation must be linked to predetermined and measurable criteria, which can be financial or non-financial, designed with the aim of promoting the company's long-term value creation. The criteria should relate to the development in the development projects the Company conducts and the partnerships the Company enters into for the acceleration of clinical development and future commercialization, as well as the compensation (for example, one-off payments at the conclusion of the agreement, milestone compensation, compensation for research services, or royalties) this development results in. The criteria must further be designed to promote Medivir's business strategy and long-term interests, including its sustainability.

Fulfillment of criteria for payment of variable cash compensation must be measured over a period of one year. When the measurement period for fulfillment of criteria for the payment of variable cash compensation has ended, the extent to which the criteria have been fulfilled must be determined. The board is responsible for the assessment regarding variable cash compensation to senior executives. As far as financial targets are concerned, the assessment must be based on the financial information most recently published by the company.

Salary and employment conditions for employees

When preparing the board's proposal for these remuneration guidelines, salary and employment conditions for the company's employees have been taken into account. Information regarding the employees' total remuneration, the components of the remuneration as well as the increase and rate of increase of the remuneration over time have formed part of the board's decision-making basis when evaluating the fairness of the guidelines and the restrictions that follow from these.

The decision-making process for establishing, reviewing and implementing the guidelines

The board has not set up a remuneration committee, but the tasks assigned to such a committee is carried out by the board of directors in its entirety. The board's proposal for guidelines for remuneration to senior executives has therefore been prepared by the board. The board must draw up proposals for new guidelines at least every four years and submit the proposal for decision at the annual general meeting. The guidelines shall apply until new guidelines are adopted by the general meeting. Since the board has not established a remuneration committee, the board is also responsible for following and evaluating programs for variable remuneration for group management, the application of guidelines for remuneration to senior executives and current remuneration structures and remuneration levels in the group. In the board's consideration of and decisions on remuneration-related matters, the CEO or other senior executives are not present, to the extent that they are affected by the matters.

Deviation from the guidelines

The board may decide to temporarily deviate from the guidelines in whole or in part, if in an individual case there are special reasons for it and a deviation is necessary to satisfy Medivir's long-term interests, including its sustainability, or to ensure Medivir's financial viability.

Additional information

Additional information regarding compensation to senior executives can be found in the annual report of Medivir.

The board of directors' proposal on a share issue authorization (item
19)

The board proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorize to the board, up and until the next annual general meeting, on one or several occasions and with or without pre-emptive rights for shareholders,
to
resolve
on
the
issue of
new
ordinary shares,
comprising
a
total
of
not
more
than
20
per cent of the total number of outstanding shares in the company after the utilization of the authorization. It shall also be possible to make such an issue resolution stipulating in-kind payment, the right to offset debt or other conditions referred to in Chapter 13 Section 5 first paragraph item 6 in the Swedish Companies
Act. The purpose of the authorization is to give the board flexibility in the work of ensuring that capital can be added to the company in an appropriate manner for the financing of the business. Issuance of new shares with the support of the authorization must be carried out on market terms.

The board of directors' proposal regarding a long-term incentive program in the form of a share matching program (LTIP 2024) (item
20)

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to adopt a long-term incentive program in the form of a share matching program for key employees within the Medivir group in accordance
with
item
20(a)
below. The
resolution
in
accordance
with
item
20(a)
shall
be
conditional
upon
the annual general meeting resolving to adopt the hedging arrangements with respect to the incentive program in accordance with the board of directors' proposal under item 20(b) below.

Adoption of the incentive program (item
20(a))

Summary of the
program
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to adopt a long-term incentive program
in
the
form
of
a
share matching
program
(the
" LTIP
2024
").
LTIP
2024
is
proposed
to
include
not more than
11
key
employees
within the
Medivir
group. The
participants
in
LTIP
2024
are
required to
invest in the group by acquiring shares in Medivir AB (publ) with the purpose of being allocated to LTIP 2024 (" Investment Shares "). For each Investment Share, the participant has the right to, provided certain conditions are fulfilled, receive one (1) ordinary share under LTIP 2024 free of charge (" Matching Shares ") and, provided certain performance conditions are fulfilled, a maximum of five (5) additional ordinary shares free of charge (" Performance Shares ") in accordance with the terms set out
below.

Personal
investment
In order to participate in LTIP 2024, the participant must make a private investment by acquiring Investment Shares. The Investment Shares shall be acquired at market price with the purpose of being allocated to LTIP 2024. The maximum number of Investment Shares that each participant can allocate
to
LTIP
2024
is
further described
below
and
corresponds
to
an
amount of
approximately
3–7
per cent of each participant's annual base salary. For each Investment Share held under LTIP 2024, the company will grant participants one (1) right to one (1) Matching Share, meaning the right to receive one Matching Share free of charge (" Matching Rights ") and in addition, provided that certain performance conditions are fulfilled, a maximum of five (5) additional rights to five (5) Performance Shares free of charge (" Performance Rights ") in accordance with the terms set out below (Matching Rights and Performance Rights are together referred to as
" Rights ").

Terms and
conditions
The Matching Rights may be exercised provided that the participant, with certain exceptions, as of the start of LTIP 2024 for the participant and up until and including the date of release of the interim report for the period January – March 2027 (the " Vesting Period ") has kept its own original Investment Shares and that the participant, with certain exceptions, maintains its employment within the Medivir group. LTIP 2024 shall start as soon as practicable after the annual general meeting 2024. The last day for allotment of the Rights shall be 31 December 2024. Newly employed key employees in Medivir may be invited to participate in LTIP 2024 up until 31 December 2024, and shall then make their first investment in Investment Shares within the first two weeks after the first day of employment. The Matching Shares are received after the end of the Vesting
Period. The board considers that in these cases it is justified that the Vesting Period is shorter than three years since it enables the company to assign new employees Rights within the framework of LTIP 2024, which is deemed to be beneficial for the company from a recruitment perspective.

The Performance Rights may be exercised provided that, in addition to the requirement for the participant's continued employment and a retained Investment Share investment in accordance with the above, certain performance conditions are fulfilled. A participant's Performance Rights entitle to a maximum number of Performance Shares of five (5) per Investment Share if the total shareholder return (shareholder return in the form of an increase of the price of the company's share and reinvestment of potential dividends during the term of LTIP 2024) (" TSR ")1
on Medivir's share during the period from March 2024 to March 2027 (the " Performance Period ") amounts to or exceeds 100 per cent (corresponding to approximately 33.33 per cent per year). For allotment under the performance conditions, the TSR on the company's ordinary shares must amount to or exceed 50 per cent (corresponding to approximately 16.67 per cent per year) during the Performance Period, which would entitle the participant to one (1) Performance Share per Investment Share. In between the percentages, allotment will be made linearly. Performance Shares are received after the end of the Vesting Period.

The Rights

The Rights shall, in addition to what is set out above, be governed by the following terms and conditions:


  • The Rights are granted free of charge as soon as practicable after the start of
    LTIP 2024 provided that the participant has made a private investment by acquiring Investment Shares. The last day for allotment of the Rights shall be 31 December 2024. Rights that fall due according to the terms must be returned and can be granted again up until 31 December 2024.


  • The Matching Rights and the Performance Rights vest during the Vesting Period. The performance conditions of the Performance Rights are assessed during the Performance Period.



  • The Rights may not be transferred or pledged.



  • Each Matching Right entitles the participant to receive one (1) Matching Share free of charge after the end of the Vesting Period (with certain exceptions where the timing of the
    receival may be accelerated) if the participant, with certain exceptions, maintains its employment within the Medivir group and the invested Investment Shares until the time of the release of the interim report for the period January – March 2027. Each Performance Right entitles the participant to receive one (1) Matching Share free of charge after the end of the Vesting Period (with certain exceptions where the Vesting Period may be accelerated) if the performance conditions set out above are fulfilled and provided that the participant maintains its employment within the Medivir group and the invested Investment Shares during the Vesting Period.



  • In order to align the participants' and the shareholders' interests, the company will compensate the participants for any dividends paid by increasing the number of Matching Shares and Performance Shares that the Rights entitle to at the end of the Vesting Period.



  • The maximum value per Matching Right and Performance Right, respectively, is limited to a sum (corresponding to ten (10) times the closing price of the company's ordinary shares on the date of the first allocation of
    LTIP 2024). In the event that the value of such Right exceeds such limit, the number of Matching Shares and Performance Shares will be decreased on a pro rata basis.

1
TSR is calculated by comparing the weighted average price of the shares during March 2024 with the weighted average price of the shares during March 2027, including reinvested dividend. according to the terms must be returned and can be granted again up until 31 December 2024

Preparation and
administration
The board of directors shall be responsible for preparing the detailed terms and conditions of LTIP 2024, in accordance with the above terms and conditions, including provisions on recalculation in the event of a bonus issue, split, rights issue and/or other similar
events.

In connection with the preparation of the detailed terms and conditions of LTIP 2024, the board of directors shall also be entitled to make adjustments to meet foreign regulations or market conditions. In addition, the board of directors is granted the right to terminate or adjust the program in case of a takeover
bid
or
a
similar
event.

The
board
of
directors shall
also
have
the
right to
make
other
adjustments if significant changes in the Medivir group or its environment would result in a situation where the adopted terms and conditions of LTIP 2024 no longer serve their
purpose.

The participants are divided into different categories and, in accordance with the above, the following number

salary.

In
case
not
all
participants

their
full
part
of
Investment
Shares
by
the
end
of
the
notification
period, the other participants are entitled to invest in additional a maximum of 50 per cent Investment Shares in accordance
with
the
instructions
of
the
board of
directors,
which
shall

the
corresponding
Rights. There
will

allocation
in
connection
with
an
investment
in
additional
Investment
Shares. In case of over notification by the above persons covered by the allotment principles, the allotment shall be
made
as

allocation
shall
be
made
pro
rata
in
relation to
the
number
of
additional
invested Investment Shares. Secondarily, allocation shall be made through the drawing of lots executed by the board of
directors.

Delivery of shares under LTIP
2024
To ensure delivery of shares under LTIP 2024, the board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors to resolve on issue of shares of series C and on repurchase
of
shares
of
series
C
and
resolves on
transfer
of
own
ordinary shares
in
accordance
with
item

(b) below.

Scope and costs of LTIP
2024
LTIP 2024 will be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 which stipulates that the Rights should be recorded as non-cash personnel expenses during the period of LTIP 2024. The costs for LTIP 2024 is estimated to amount to approximately SEK 1.3 million, excluding social security costs, calculated in accordance
with
IFRS
2
based
on
the
following assumptions:
(i)
that
240,000
Matching Rights
and
1,200 000 Performance Shares are allotted, (ii) that the price of the company's share immediately before the start of LTIP 2024 amounts to SEK 2.73 per share (closing price on 8 March 2024), (iii) an estimated annual turnover of personnel of 10 per cent and (iv) that the TSR during the Performance Period amounts to 75 per cent.

The costs for social security charges are estimated to approximately SEK 1.1 million, based on the above assumptions and a social security tax rate of 31.42 per cent. Together with the IFRS 2 cost, this will result in estimated costs of SEK 2.4 million. In addition to what is set forth above, the costs for LTIP 2024 have been
based
on
that
LTIP
2024
comprises
not
more
than
11
participants
and
that
each
participant
exercises its maximum investment.

Effects on key ratios and
dilution
Upon maximum allotment of 240, 000 Matching Shares, 1, 200 000 Performance Shares and provided that the hedging arrangements in accordance with item 20(b) below are adopted by the annual general meeting, 1, 460 000 ordinary shares will be allotted to participants under LTIP 2024, including a buffer of 20,000 ordinary shares for dividend compensations, meaning a dilution of approximately 1.28 per cent of
the
number
of
shares and
votes
in
the
company. In
addition,
LTIP
2024
comprises
allotment
of
240, 000 Investment
Shares
to
the
participants
at
the
volume
weighted
average share
price
during the
five
trading days immediately prior to the offer to each participant to acquire the Investment Shares, meaning a dilution of approximately 0.21 per cent of the number of shares and votes in the company. This is conditional upon the annual general meeting resolving to adopt the proposed hedging arrangements in accordance with item 20(b)
below.

Taking into account shares that may be issued in accordance with previously implemented incentive programs in the form of warrant programs in the company and in accordance with the share matching program proposed to the annual general meeting with respect to the maximum number of Matching Shares and Performance Shares, the maximal dilution effect is approximately 2.23 per
cent.

The costs of LTIP 2024 are expected to have a limited effect on the company's key
ratios.

The rationale for the proposal
The rationale for LTIP 2024 is to create conditions for motivating and retaining competent employees of the
Medivir
group
as
well
as
for
the
alignment of
the
targets
of
the
participants
with
those
of
the
company, as
well
as
to
increase
the
motivation
of
meeting
and
exceeding
the
company's
financial targets.
LTIP
2024 has been
designed
based
on
the
view
that
it
is
desirable
that
key
employees
within
the
Medivir group
are shareholders in the company. Participation in LTIP 2024 requires a personal investment in Investment Shares.

By
offering an
allotment
of
Rights
which, inter
alia,
are
based
on
performance
conditions,
the
participants are rewarded for increased shareholder value. Further, LTIP 2024 rewards employees' continued loyalty and thereby the long-term value growth in the company. Against this background, the board of directors is of the opinion that the adoption of LTIP 2024 will have a positive effect on the Medivir group's future development and thus be beneficial for both the company and its
shareholders.

Preparation of the
matter
The principles of LTIP 2024 have been prepared by the board of directors of the company. The board of directors has thereafter resolved to submit this proposal to the annual general meeting. Except for the officials who prepared the matter pursuant to instructions from the board of directors, no employee that may be included in the program has taken part in the drafting thereof.

Other share related incentive programs
etc.
Except
from
the
current proposal
to
adopt
a
share matching
program
and
the
previous warrant
programs resolved upon at the annual general meetings of 2021, 2022, and the share matching program which was adopted at the annual general meeting of 2023 (LTIP 2023) the company has no outstanding share related incentive programs. It is the board of directors's intention that the program shall recur annually, albeit in varying
sizes.

Proposal
regarding authorization
for
the
board
of
directors
to
resolve
on
a
directed share
issue
of
shares of
series
C
and
to
repurchase
issued
shares
of
series
C
as
well
as
resolution
on
transfer
of
own
ordinary shares to participants in LTIP 2023 and LTIP 2024 and in the market (item 20 (b))

The resolutions under items 20 (b)(i) - (iii) are proposed to be conditional upon each other. It is therefore proposed that the resolutions under items 20 (b)(i) - (iii) are adopted
jointly.

Authorization for the board of directors to resolve on issue of shares of series C (item 20
(b)(i))
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors, during the period until the next annual general meeting, at one or several occasions, to increase the company's share capital by not more than
SEK 850, 000 by the issue of not more than 1, 700 000 shares of
series C,
each
with
a
quota
value
of
SEK
0.50. With
deviation
from
the
shareholders'
pre-emptive
rights, a participating third party shall be entitled to subscribe for the new shares of series C at a subscription price
corresponding
to
the
quota value
of
the
shares.
The
purpose
of
the
authorization
and
the
reason
for the
deviation
from
the
shareholders'
pre-emptive
rights
in
connection
with
the
issue
of
shares
is
to
enable for participants in LTIP 2024 to acquire Investment Shares, ensure delivery of shares under LTIP 2024 as well as to cover any social costs and dividend compensations due to LTIP
2023 and LTIP 2024.

Authorization for the board of directors to resolve to repurchase own shares of series C (item 20 (b)(ii)) The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors, during the period until the next annual general meeting, at one or several occasions, to repurchase shares of series C. The repurchase may only be effected through a public offer directed to all holders of shares of series C and shall comprise all outstanding shares of series C. The purchase may be effected at a purchase price corresponding to the quota value of the share. Payment for the shares of series C shall be made in cash. The purpose of the proposed repurchase authorization is to enable for participants in LTIP 2024 to acquire Investment Shares, ensure delivery of shares under LTIP 2024 as well as to cover any social costs due to LTIP
2024.

Resolution on the transfer of own ordinary shares (item 20
(b)(iii))
The
board of
directors
proposes that
the
annual general
meeting
resolves that
1, 700 000
shares
of
series C that
the
company purchases
by
virtue of
the
authorization
to
repurchase
shares
of
series C
in
accordance with item 20 (b)(ii) above, following reclassification into ordinary shares, may be transferred free of charge to participants in LTIP 2024 in accordance with resolved conditions and transferred to cover any social costs due to LTIP
2024.

The
board
of
directors thus
proposes
that
the
annual
general
meeting resolves
that
the maximum
number of ordinary shares held by the company, including such ordinary shares that the company holds after previously completed repurchases, may be transferred to participants in accordance with the terms of LTIP
2024,
and
that
it
may
be
transferred
on
Nasdaq
Stockholm,
including
through
a
financial intermediary, at a price within the price range registered at the time, to cover any social security contributions
in
accordance with
the
terms
of
LTIP
2023 and LTIP 2024.
The
number
of
shares
that
can
be transferred
is subject
to
recalculation
as
a
result of
an
in-between
bonus
issue, share
split,
share split,
rights
issue
and/or similar
events.

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves that 240,000 of the shares of series C that the company purchases by virtue of the authorization to repurchase shares of series C in accordance
with
item
20
(b)(ii) above,
following
reclassification
into
ordinary shares,
may
be
transferred to employees in Medivir to enable for acquisitions of Investment Shares for participation in LTIP 2024. The board of directors therefore proposes that a maximum of 240,000 ordinary shares may be transferred to employees of Medivir. The transfer price shall amount to the volume weighted average share price during the five trading days immediately prior to the date of the offer to each participant to acquire Investment
Shares.
