The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on the following guidelines for remuneration to the CEO and senior executives, to apply until not later than the Annual General Meeting regarding the fiscal year 2027/28.

The guidelines apply for the President and CEO of Dustin as well as members of the Executive Management, who report directly to the CEO. The guidelines do not cover compensation decided on by the general meeting, such as directors' fees or share-based incentive programs.

The guidelines shall be applied for remuneration that is agreed upon, and changes made to already agreed upon remuneration, after the guidelines have been adopted by the Annual General Meeting. The guidelines steer the decisions made by the Board's Remuneration Committee with respect to senior executives who report directly to the CEO and by the Board in its entirety with respect to the CEO.

The guidelines promotion of Dustin's business strategy and long-term interests

The vision of Dustin is to help the customer to stay in the forefront. Dustin lives up to this vision through providing the right IT solution to the right customer and user. At the right time and at the right price. Therefore, Dustin's promise to its customer is - "We keep things moving". Dustin's strategy focuses on achieving profitable and long-term growth at the same time as we take a leading role toward a more sustainable IT industry. The strategy has four pillars: growth, margin, sustainability and capital efficiency. We have a strong position online and increasingly broad portfolio of products, services and solutions. In combination with favourable market trends, this means we are well positioned for continued profitable growth. Dustin is convinced that a sustainability work at the forefront, with a clear circular mindset, is not solely necessary - it also creates business opportunities. Dustin's vision, strategy and goals in different respects are more closely presented on the Company's website, www.dustingroup.com.

A prerequisite for a successful implementation of Dustin's business strategy and safeguarding of Dustin's long-term interests, including its sustainability, is that Dustin's ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel with relevant competence remains. To this end, it is essential that Dustin offers competitive total remuneration.

Dustin has implemented long-term share-related incentive programs. They have been adopted and set by the Annual General Meeting and are therefore not covered in these guidelines. For the same reason the long-term share-related incentive program proposed by the Board and submitted to the Annual General Meeting 2023/24 for approval is excluded. The programs include the CEO, other senior executives and key persons. The incentive programs adopted by the Annual General Meeting are conditional upon the participant's own investment and holding periods of several years. The programs require and are conditional upon the participant's own investment in warrants or synthetic options and a certain holding period of three years. For further information on Dustin's incentive programs, please visit www.dustingroup.com.

Variable cash remuneration covered by these guidelines shall aim at promoting Dustin's business strategy and long-term interests, including sustainability.

Types of remuneration

Dustin shall offer remuneration that is in line with market terms and is based on factors such as the importance of the work duties, the executives' competence, experience and performance. The remuneration may consist of a fixed base salary, short-term variable remuneration, pension benefits, insurance and other benefits. In addition, a general meeting of shareholders can - and independent of these guidelines - decide on for instance share-based and share price - related remuneration.

Senior executives shall not receive fees for board assignments in the Dustin Group's subsidiaries.

Variable remuneration

In addition to the fixed base salary, variable remuneration may be payable. Variable remuneration shall be based on measurable criteria that are formulated to promote the Company's business strategy and long-term interests, including sustainability. The criteria shall be adopted yearly by the remuneration committee and the Board of Directors. Variable remuneration shall be based on the achievement of financial targets for the Dustin Group and business area, such as profit, financial efficiency, sales and ESG (environment, social & governance) as well as non-financial achievements related to i.e. culture. Not less than 70 percent of the evaluation will be based on financial measurements. The measurement period is both yearly and quarterly and the remuneration shall be dependent on the position and can amount to a maximum of 100 percent of the fixed base salary for the measurement period.

Additional variable remuneration may be payable for extraordinary circumstances, provided that such extraordinary arrangements are only made at the individual level for the purpose of recruiting or retaining executives, or as remuneration for an extraordinary work contribution on top of the persons normal work duties. Such remuneration may not exceed an amount corresponding to 50 percent of his or her fixed annual salary and may not be awarded more than once a year per individual. Decisions on such remuneration shall be made by the Board of Directors following preparation by the Remuneration Committee.

When the measurement period for fulfilment of the criteria for payment of variable cash remuneration has ended, it shall be assessed and determined to what extent the criteria have been met. In the annual evaluation the Remuneration Committee or the Board, where applicable, can adjust the targets and/or the remuneration for both positive and negative extraordinary event, reorganizations and structural changes.

The Board of Directors have the possibility to in accordance with law or agreements claim that variable remuneration that has been awarded based on inaccurate grounds shall be fully or partly repaid.

Pension and other benefits

The pension benefits of the CEO, including health insurance, shall be in accordance with a defined contribution solution. Variable remuneration shall not be pensionable. Pension premiums for the defined contribution pensions shall amount to a maximum of 30 percent of the fixed annual salary. The pension benefits, including health insurance, for other senior executives shall be in accordance with a defined contribution solution. Variable remuneration shall be pensionable to the extent stipulated by mandatory clauses in union agreements that are applicable to the executive. Pension premiums for the defined contribution pension shall amount to a maximum of 30 percent of the fixed annual salary. Externally recruited senior executives (except for a new CEO) shall have a defined contribution pension plan in accordance with ITP 1.

Other benefits shall be if limited scope and may include, for example, disability, life and health insurance, and a car, travel and housing benefit. Such benefits may amount to a maximum of 10 percent of the fixed salary. For senior executives who are stationed in another country than their homeland may additional remuneration and other benefits be awarded to a reasonable extent with account taken to the specific circumstances associated with such stationing abroad.

Regarding employments that are governed by other rules than Swedish rules may, with respect to pension benefits and other benefits, due adaptations be done in order to comply with such mandatory rules and local practice. However, the general purpose of these guidelines shall be catered to.

Cessation of employment

For notice of termination served by the employer, the notice period may be a maximum of twelve months. Fixed based salary during the notice period and severance pay may together not exceed an amount corresponding to two years' fixed salary. For notice given by a senior executive, the notice period may be a maximum of six months, without any right to severance pay. In addition, remuneration may be payable for any non-compete obligation. Such payment shall compensate the executive for possible loss of income and shall only be made during the period that the executive lacks a right to severance pay. The monthly remuneration for a noncompete obligation shall amount to a maximum of 80 percent of the average monthly income for the twelve months preceding the end of employment. The remuneration shall be payable during the time that the non-compete obligation applies, which shall be a maximum of twelve months after the end of employment.

Salary and terms of employment for employees

In the preparation and drafting of the Board's proposal of these remuneration guidelines, remuneration and terms of employment for Dustin's employees have been considered. Information on the employees' total remuneration, remuneration components and the increase in remuneration and rate of growth over time has formed part of the Remuneration Committee's and the Board's decision-making documentation in their evaluation of the fairness of the guidelines and the limitations that imposed by them.

Decision-making process for adopting, reviewing and implementing the guidelines

The Board of Directors has established a Remuneration Committee. The committee's duties include conducting preparatory work for the Board's decisions on proposed guidelines for remuneration of senior executives, remuneration and other terms of employment for this group. The Board shall draw a proposal for new guidelines at least every four years and submit the proposal for decision by the general meeting.

The guidelines shall apply until new guidelines have been adopted by a general meeting of shareholders. The Remuneration Committee shall also monitor and evaluate ongoing programs and programs concluded during the year for variable remuneration for members of the executive committee, application of guidelines for remuneration of senior executives, and applicable remuneration structures and remuneration levels at Dustin. The members of the Remuneration Committee are independent in relation to Dustin and the executive committee. In the Board's handling of and decision on remuneration-related matters, the CEO or other members of the executive committee are not present to the extent they are the subject of the matter at hand.

Deviations from the guidelines

The Board of Directors may decide to temporarily depart from the guidelines entirely or partly if in a specific case there are special reasons for doing so and a departure is necessary to safeguard the Dustin Group's long-term interests, including sustainability, or to safeguard the Group's financial soundness. As stated above, it is part of the Remuneration Committee's duties to conduct preparatory work for the Board's decision on remuneration related matters, which also includes decision to depart from the guidelines.

Description of significant changes in the guidelines and how the shareholders' views are considered

The proposed guidelines submitted to the Annual General Meeting 2023/24 entail clarifications in accordance with new strategy. No significant changes in relation to the Company's existing guidelines are proposed. The Company has not received any views from the shareholders.

Resolution regarding a long-term performance share plan for 2025 (item 18)

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to implement a long-term performance share plan for members of the Executive Management and other key employees in Dustin for the period 2025 to 2027 (the "PSP 2025"). PSP 2025 retains the same general structure and economic characteristics for the participants, as the long-term performance-based share plans adopted at the Annual General Meeting 2021/22 and 2022/23, which are described on Dustin's website www.dustingroup.com under the heading "Incentive Programs" (which can be found under the section "Corporate Governance").

The purpose of PSP 2025 is to ensure long-term commitment to the value growth in Dustin and to align the participants' incentives and the shareholders' interests by for Dustin strategically important financial performance measures. All performance targets are described in detail below. The Board is convinced that PSP 2025 will benefit the Company's shareholders as it will contribute to the opportunity to recruit and retain strategically important employees, is expected to increase the commitment and the motivation for the participants and will strengthen the participants' ties to Dustin and its shareholders.

Adoption of the plan (item 18(a))

PSP 2025 is proposed to comprise no more than 3,100,000 ordinary Dustin shares. Within the scope of PSP 2025, the participants will be granted performance share awards entitling the participants to receive ordinary Dustin shares after a three-year vesting period ending after the disclosure of Dustin's interim financial report for the period 1 September-30 November 2027 (the "Vesting Period"). Vesting of performance share awards and thus the right to receive Dustin shares is based on the level of fulfilment of certain performance conditions. The right to receive Dustin shares is also conditional upon the participant having retained the Investment Shares (as defined below) and, subject to certain customary exemptions, continued his or her employment with the Dustin Group throughout the Vesting Period.

Personal investment in Dustin shares

In order to participate in PSP 2025, the employees are required to invest in ordinary Dustin shares and to allocate such shares to PSP 2025 (the "Investment Shares"). Participation in PSP 2025 can be made with a maximum of 12,400-80,200 Investment Shares, depending on the category to which the participant belongs, as further described below. The Investment Shares may either be shares acquired for PSP 2025 or shares already held, provided that they have not already been allocated to already ongoing incentive programs. If the participant has inside information, and therefore is prevented from purchasing Dustin shares when giving notice of participation in PSP 2025, the Investment Shares must be acquired as soon as possible, but no later than prior to the Annual General Meeting 2024/25, unless the Board authorizes later acquisition in a particular case. For each Investment Shares allocated to PSP 2025, the participants will be granted 4-7 performance share awards by the Company, depending upon category of participants.

Performance conditions

The performance share awards are divided into four series (A-D). The number of performance share awards that vest and hence entitles to receive Dustin shares is based on the level of fulfilment of the performance conditions set out below during 1 January 2025-31 December 2027 as regards series A, and 1 September 2024-31 August 2027 as regards series B, C and D (the "Measurement Period", and any reference to the Measurement Period in PSP 2025 shall be read and construed accordingly).

Series A           Dustin's total shareholder return on the ordinary share (TSR) during the Measurement Period exceeding 0 per cent as entry level.

Series B           Dustin's compounded annual organic sales growth rate during the Measurement Period being 3.5 per cent as entry level and 6.0 per cent or higher as the stretch target

Series C           The compounded annual organic growth rate of earnings per share (EPS CAGR) during the Measurement Period being 7.0 per cent as entry level and 10.0 per cent or higher as the stretch target.

Series D           Dustin's annual takeback sales, i.e., Dustin's annual revenue related to takeback sales, during the Measurement Period being 90 per cent of budget as entry level, and 100 per cent of budget or higher as the stretch target.

If the entry level is reached, 100 per cent of the series A performance share awards, 10 per cent of the performance share awards in series B, and 20 per cent of the series C or D performance share awards will entitle to receives Dustin shares in connection with the end of the Vesting Period. If the stretch target is reached for series B, C or D, all performance share awards in that series will entitle to receive Dustin shares. If the performance level for series B, C or D is between the entry level and stretch target, the vesting outcome in such series will be measured linearly. If the entry level is not reached for a series, all performance share awards in that series will lapse. If the total number of ordinary Dustin shares that the performance share awards entitle to receive is not a whole number of shares, the number of shares that are to be transferred to the participants shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

Allotment of performance share awards

PSP 2025 is proposed to include approximately 40 senior executives and key employees in Dustin divided into four tiers: the CEO ("Tier 1"), the other members of the Executive Management ("Tier 2" and "Tier 3"), and other key employees ("Tier 4"). Further, PSP 2025 is proposed to comprise up to 660,000 Investment Shares entitling participants to receive, in aggregate, up to 3,100,000 performance share awards. PSP 2025 will comprise up to the following number of Investment Shares and performance share awards for the participants:

• Tier 1 (1 employee) can allocate up to 80,200 Investment Shares. For each Investment Share, the participant is entitled to receive a total of 7 performance share awards, of which 1 performance share award of series A, 2.25 performance share awards of series B and C, respectively, and 1.5 performance share awards of Series D.
• Tier 2 (1 employee) can allocate up to 37,000 Investment Shares. For each Investment Share, the participant is entitled to receive a total of 6 performance share awards, of which 1 performance share award of series A, 1.875 performance share awards of series B and C, respectively, and 1.25 performance share awards of series D.
• Tier 3 (approximately 5 employees) can allocate up to 24,700 Investment Shares each. For each Investment Share, the participants are entitled to receive a total of 5 performance share awards, of which 1 performance share award of series A, 1.5 performance share awards of series B and C, respectively, and 1 performance share award of series D.
• Tier 4 (approximately 33 employees) can allocate up to 12,400 Investment Shares each. For each Investment Share, the participants are entitled to receive a total of 4 performance share awards, of which 1 performance share award of series A, 1.125 performance share awards of series B and C, respectively, and 0.75 performance share award of Series D.

In addition, performance share awards may be granted to new employees joining Dustin prior to the Annual General Meeting 2024/25. The number of Investment Shares and performance share awards that a newly employed participant shall be entitled to allocate and receive, respectively, depends on his or her tier.

General terms and conditions for the performance share awards

The performance share awards shall be governed by the following general terms and conditions:

• Performance share awards are granted to the participants free of charge after the Annual General Meeting 2023/24.
• One (1) performance share award entitles the participant to receive one (1) ordinary Dustin share, provided that, and to the extent, the relevant performance condition has been reached during the Measurement Period. The right to receive Dustin shares is also conditional upon the participant having retained the Investment Shares and, subject to certain customary exemptions, not has given or received notice of termination of employment with the Dustin Group throughout the Vesting Period.
• Performance share awards may not be transferred or pledged.
• In order to align the participants' interests with those of the shareholders, Dustin will pay compensation for dividends and other value transfers made to the shareholders (excluding dividend resolved by the Annual General Meeting) during the Vesting Period by increasing the number of shares that each performance share award entitles to receive.
• The participants' maximum profit per performance share award in PSP 2025 is limited to three times the volume-weighted average of the market price of Dustin's share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the five trading days immediately following the publication of the Company's interim report for the first quarter 2024/25 (the "Share Price Cap"). If the value of Dustin's share exceeds the Share Price Cap at vesting, the number of Dustin shares that each performance share award entitles the participant to receive will be reduced correspondingly. The Share Price Cap can, under conditions that the Board stipulates, be subject to recalculation in case of a bonus issue, share split or reverse share split, rights issue and/or other similar corporate events.

Scope and costs of PSP 2025

The maximum number of ordinary Dustin shares which may be delivered under PSP 2025 is limited to 3,100,000, representing approximately 0.6 per cent of the outstanding shares and votes in the Company as of the announcement date of this notice. The number of shares that may be transferred to the participants can, under conditions that the Board stipulates, be subject to recalculation following a bonus issue, share split or reverse share split, rights issue and/or similar corporate events. The number of shares that may be transferred to the participants can also be subject to recalculation following dividends and other value transfers to the shareholders (excluding dividends resolved at an Annual General Meeting).

PSP 2025 will be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2, which stipulates that the performance share awards should be recorded as a personnel expense over the Vesting Period. Based on a share price of SEK 8.11 (the average closing price of Dustin's share in October 2024), full participation in PSP 2025 (including full participation of new employees) to at least the subscription price, a 100 per cent fulfilment of the performance condition in series A and a 50 per cent fulfilment of the performance conditions in series B-D, and an annual staff turnover rate of 10 per cent, the total cost for PSP 2025, excluding social security costs, is estimated at SEK 9.4 million.

Social security costs will be recorded as a personnel expense by current reservations. The social security costs are estimated to approximately SEK 4.1 million under the above assumptions, an average social security tax rate of 25 per cent, and an annual share price development on the Dustin share of 10 per cent during the Vesting Period.

The annual costs for PSP 2025, including social security costs, is estimated to approximately SEK 4.6 million under the above assumptions. This cost can be compared to the Dustin Group's total personnel expenses, including social security costs, of SEK 1,908 million for the financial year 2023/24.

The costs are expected to have a limited effect on Dustin's key ratios.

Delivery of Dustin shares under PSP 2025

To ensure delivery of ordinary Dustin shares under PSP 2025, the Board under items 18(b)-(d) proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorizes the Board to resolve on a directed issue of class C shares to a third party, and further to subsequently resolve to repurchase the class C shares from that third party. The class C shares will be held by the Company, whereafter the appropriate number of class C shares will be reclassified into ordinary shares and subsequently be transferred to the participants under PSP 2025. The Board further proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves that a maximum of 3,100,000 ordinary shares may be transferred to the participants in accordance with the terms of PSP 2025.

In the event delivery of shares under PSP 2025 cannot be achieved as a result of that the majority requirements under items 18(b)-(d) are not reached, participants may instead receive ordinary shares from a third party who has entered into a share swap agreement with Dustin, provided that the Annual General Meeting resolves in accordance with the proposal in item 18(e).

Preparation and administration of PSP 2025

The Board's Remuneration Committee has prepared PSP 2025 in consultation with the Executive Management and external advisors. In addition, PSP 2025 has been reviewed and discussed at Board meetings. The Remuneration Committee has also been responsible for the preparation of the detailed terms and conditions of PSP 2025 that shall apply between Dustin and the participants, in accordance with the terms and guidelines resolved by the Annual General Meeting. It is further proposed that the Board shall be entitled to make other adjustments, if it so deems appropriate, should changes occur in Dustin or its operating environment that entails that PSP 2025 no longer correctly reflects the performance of Dustin. Any such adjustments shall only be made in order to fulfil the main objectives of PSP 2025.

Please refer to the 2023/24 annual report, Note 7 for the group, and Dustin's website at www.dustingroup.com under the heading "Incentive Programs" (which can be found under the section "Corporate Governance"), for information regarding Dustin's ongoing warrant-based incentive plan as well as the long-term performance-based share plans adopted at the Annual General Meeting 2021/22 and 2022/23.

Authorization for the Board to resolve on a new issue of class C shares (item 18(b))

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board to, during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, resolve on a directed issue of class C shares.

• A maximum of 3,100,000 new class C shares will be issued in connection with the new issue of shares.
• The new class C shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, be subscribed for by a third party at a subscription price corresponding to the quota value of the shares.
• Subscription shall be made by cash payment.
• The reason for the proposed deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, and the basis for setting the subscription price to the quota value, is to ensure delivery of ordinary shares to participants under PSP 2025.

Authorization for the Board to resolve to repurchase own class C shares (item 18(c))
