The meeting resolves that the annual report, consolidated accounts, auditors' report and the auditors' report on the consolidated accounts be presented, and it resolves to adopt the income statement, balance sheet, consolidated income statement and consolidated balance sheet in accordance with the proposal of the Board and CEO, which was supported by the auditor. 7. Resolution about allocation of the Company s profit The meeting resolves in accordance with the proposal of the Board and CEO, which was supported by the auditor, that the available profits, SEK 2,718,244,882, including this year's reported profit of SEK 1,095,051,529, be allocated as follows: a) to shareholders a dividend of: SEK 8 per share SEK 603,818,504 b) to be carried forward to new account SEK 2,114,426,378 Total SEK 2,718,244,882 It is recorded that the Board proposal is in accordance with Chapter 18, section 4 of the Companies Act on the proposed dividend. The meeting resolves that the record date for payment shall be April 23, 2015. 8. Resolution to discharge the Board Directors and the President from liability The meeting resolves with the required majority, but not unanimously, to discharge the Board directors and CEO from liability for their administration during 2014, which was supported by the auditor. It is noted that the CEO and Board directors in attendance did not take part in the decision. 9. Resolution on the number of Board Directors Åsa Nisell announces that the Nomination Committee proposes the election of eight ordinary directors. The meeting resolves that the Board shall comprise eight ordinary directors plus employee representatives.

4 10. Determination of remuneration to the Board of Directors Åsa Nisell announces that the Nomination Committee proposes that remuneration for work on the Board and on committees performed during the mandate period should be increased by a total of SEK 80,000. The Chair of the Board should therefore be paid a fee of SEK 760,000 and ordinary directors not employed by the company SEK 320,000. The Nomination Committee further proposes that the fee paid to directors who are not employed by the company for work on committees shall be as follows: Chair of the Audit Committee SEK 120,000, directors on the Audit Committee SEK 90,000 each, Chair of the Investment Committee SEK 80,000, directors on the Investment Committee SEK 60,000 each and directors, including the Chair, on the Remuneration Committee SEK 60,000 The meeting resolves in favor of the Nomination Committee s proposal. 11. Adoption of remuneration to the auditing company Åsa Nisell announces that the Nomination Committee proposes remuneration to the auditing company as per audit fees issued by the auditing company and approved by JM AB. in favor of the Nomination Committee's proposal. 12. Election of Chair of the Board and other Directors Åsa Nisell announces that the Nomination Committee has received a report from the Chair on how work has been performed by the Board and in committees. The Nomination Committee had also received the Board's written evaluation report. This has given the Nomination Committee a favorable picture of the commitment and expertise of the directors of the Board. The Nomination Committee proposes the re-election of Lars Lundquist as Chair of the Board. The Nomination Committee also proposes the reelection of Directors Kaj-Gustaf Bergh, Johan Bergman, Anders Narvinger, Eva Nygren, Kia Orback Pettersson, Åsa Söderström Jerring and Johan Skoglund. In the assessment of the Nomination Committee, all of the proposed candidates, with the exception of Johan Skoglund, can be deemed to be independent of both the company and the company's executive management. All of the proposed candidates, i.e. including Johan Skoglund, are, in the view of the Nomination Committee, independent in relation to the company's larger shareholders. The Nomination Committee believes that JM's governance functions well and that the existing Board of Directors, considering the Company s operations, phase of development and conditions in general, is appropriate for the purpose and is characterized by diversity and breadth with respect to the expertise, experience and background of the Directors. The Board of Directors has the expertise and the experience in JM's significant areas as

5 well as in project and construction operations, architecture, marketing, brand matters, finance and the most important geographic markets. Given this, the Nomination Committee has proposed re-election of all Directors. The Nomination Committee at JM has prioritized diversity in its work for many years, which includes a more even gender distribution in the Board. For the past several years the Board of JM has had an equal gender distribution disregarding the seat held by the CEO of JM. The resolution at the 2013 Annual General Meeting to increase the Board by one director meant that the share of women on the Board fell to 43 percent, excluding the CEO, and to 38 percent of the total number of directors elected by the Annual General Meeting. When future changes to the Board are proposed, the Nomination Committee intends to include candidates of both genders. The aforementioned circumstances constitute the Nomination Committee's justification in accordance with Article 2.7 of the Code. The meeting resolves with the required majority, however not unanimously, in accordance with the Nomination Committee's proposal and thus elects Lars Lundquist as Chair of the Board and Kaj-Gustaf Bergh, Johan Bergman, Anders Narvinger, Eva Nygren, Kia Orback Pettersson, Åsa Söderström Jerring and Johan Skoglund as directors. Lars Lundquist announces that the relevant employee organizations have appointed Thomas Mattsson and Jan Strömberg as employee representatives and Peter Olsson and Jonny Änges as deputies. 13. Election of the auditing company Åsa Nisell announces that the mandate period for the company's current auditors, Ernst & Young AB, expires at the end of the AGM. The Audit Committee notified the Nomination Committee that it has performed an assessment and in so doing had concluded that the Ernst & Young AB audit has been performed efficiently and that there are no financial or other grounds for changing audit companies this year. The Nomination Committee therefore proposes the re-election of Ernst & Young AB as the auditing company. As legally required, the mandate period should run until the end of the next AGM. The meeting resolves with the required majority, however not unanimously, in accordance with the Nomination Committee's proposal and elects Ernst & Young AB as the auditing company until the end of next year's AGM. 14. Resolution on adopting instructions to the Nomination Committee Åsa Nisell announces that the Nomination Committee proposes that the AGM adopts the instructions for the Nomination Committee adopted at the 2014 AGM and which is presented in Appendix 14 here attached. Åsa Nisell then presents the content of these instructions in brief and reports that the instructions have been published on the JM website since March 23 of this year and that the meeting participants have been given a set of these instructions upon arrival at the AGM. The meeting resolves with the required majority, but not unanimously, in accordance with the Nomination Committee's proposal and adopts the

6 instructions to the Nomination Committee in accordance with Appendix 14 here attached. 15. Resolutions on guidelines for salary and other remuneration to senior executives Lars Lundquist presents the Board's proposal on guidelines for salary and other remuneration to senior executives of the company in accordance with Appendix 15.1 here attached. The proposal has been presented in the notice to attend the AGM and is included, along the with auditor's comments on how the guidelines resolved on at the 2014 AGM were followed in Appendix 15.2 here attached, in the documentation meeting participants received on arrival at the AGM. Ingemar Rindstig presents the content of the statement in Appendix 15.2 here attached. in accordance with the Board's proposal in Appendix 15.1 here attached. 16. Resolution on JM Convertibles 2015/2019 Lars Lundquist reports on the Board's proposal for a convertible program aimed at all employees in the JM Group in Sweden. The Board's proposal regarding JM Convertibles 2015/2019 has been mainly presented in the notice to attend the AGM.
