Election of Chairman of the Meeting (agenda item 2)

Resolution on treatment of the company’s unappropriated profits in accordance with the adopted Balance Sheet (agenda item 9 b)

The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend be paid for the financial year 2009. Proposal concerning the number and the election of members of the Board, and fees to the Board and the Auditor (agenda items 10, 11 och 12) The Election Committee proposes that the Board shall consist of six (6) people, with no (0) deputy members.

The Election Committee proposes re-election of Urban Jansson, Andrew Wilson, Lottie Svedenstedt, Karl Swartling and Per Båtelson as members of the Board, and new election of Paul Hökfelt, for a mandate period up until the next Annual General Meeting. Furthermore, the Election Committee proposes that Urban Jansson be elected as Chairman of the Board for the coming year as well. Paul Hökfelt was appointed Executive Chairman of Unilabs in Geneva in 2007 and before that worked for five years at Capio in Gothenburg. A reasoned statement from the Election Committee and further information on the proposed members of the Board will be available on the company’s website, www.globalhealthpartner.com, no later than Thursday 15 April 2010.

The Election Committee proposes a Board fee of SEK 1,100,000 in total, to be divided up as follows: SEK 400,000 to the Chairman of the Board, SEK 200,000 to two (2) Board members who are not company employees and who have not been nominated by a major owner, and SEK 150,000 each to the two (2) remaining Board members who are not company employees, but who have been nominated by owners. No remuneration is paid to Board members who are employed by Global Health Partner. No further remuneration is paid for committee work.

The Election Committee proposes that the auditor's fee be paid on the basis of reasonable invoicing presented to the company, for a period up until the end of the next Annual General Meeting.

The Board’s proposal for a resolution authorizing the Board to issue shares in connection with a company acquisition (agenda item 13) The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting adopts a resolution authorising the Board, for a period of time no longer than up until the next Annual General Meeting in 2011, on one or more occasions and following or deviating from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights, to make a decision to issue no more than 6,489,000 new shares. The Board shall be entitled to decide that the shares be paid via capital contributed in kind or otherwise on terms specified in chap 2 § 5 second paragraph 1-3 and 5 of the Swedish Companies Act or that the shares be subscribed for with offset rights. A new share issue deviating from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights may only be utilized to finance the acquisition of a company or part of a company. The reason for the right to deviate from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights is to enable the company, when an occasion arises to acquire a company or part of a company, to quickly and effectively finance the acquisition either by bringing in capital or via capital contributed in kind. The dilution effect if the authorisation is fully utilized corresponds to approximately 9 percent of the share capital and votes.

The resolution is only valid if at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the votes represented at the Annual General Meeting have been given in favour of the proposal.

The Board’s proposal for a resolution on principles for remuneration and other terms of employment for the company’s senior management (agenda item 14) Global Health Partner AB shall strive to offer total remuneration that is reasonable and competitive in the market where the Company is operative. The remuneration terms shall reflect ‘payment by performance’ and vary with the individual’s performance and the Company’s results. The total remuneration can comprise a basic annual salary, insurable benefits and remuneration from the incentive program which was adopted at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 27 November 2009.

Following the ‘payment by performance’ principle, remuneration from different forms of incentive programs can represent an important part of the total remuneration for senior management. Such remuneration can be offered both with short-term performance targets (up to 1 year) and long-term performance targets (3 years or longer). Other variable remuneration may be approved by the Board in extraordinary circumstances, provided that such extraordinary arrangements are made with a view to recruiting or retaining personnel.

The Board of Directors shall be entitled to deviate from these guidelines if special reasons for doing so exist in any individual case.

Proposal for a resolution on the composition of the Election Committee for the Annual General Meeting of 2011 (agenda item 15)

The Election Committee proposes that the company Chairman be appointed as a member of the Election Committee and shall be given the task, in consultation with the three largest owners of the company at 30 September 2010 who wish to appoint a representative, of appointing three further members. In the event that one of the members of the Election Committee represents a shareholder that no longer belongs to the largest shareholders of the company in terms of the number of votes, or for any other reason decides to resign from the Election Committee before the Annual General Meeting of 2011, the other members of the Election Committee shall together have the right to appoint another representative for the major shareholders to replace this committee member. The names of the three owners’ representatives and of the shareholders that they represent shall be published no later than six months before the Annual General Meeting of 2011. The tasks of the Election Committee for the Annual General Meeting of 2011 shall be to submit proposals for the election of a Chairman for the Annual General Meeting, other members of the Board, election of the Chairman and other members of the Board, fees and other remuneration for each of the members of the Board and a fee for the Group’s auditors. The Election Committee shall otherwise fulfil the duties incumbent on the Election Committee, as stipulated by the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance.
