If a Nomination Committee comprising five members (including the chairman) is not obtained after having contacted the eight largest shareholders, the chairman shall continue to contact the shareholders that are next in turn until a Nomination Committee comprising four members (including the chairman) has been obtained. The work of the Nomination Committee takes place at the end of the financial year and the beginning of the new year.

The Nomination Committee has consisted of:

• Jan Johansson (appointed by Inger Bergstrand),
• Per Wall (for his own holdings),
• Timo Gatsonides (for his own and others' holdings) and
• Claes Ödman (in his capacity of Chairman of the Board for the company).

Role and composition of the Board

The company's business is to develop and market traffic enforcement and traffic informatics prod- ucts. The Board plays a central role in Sensys Gatso's long-term strategy, which is based on four pillars and is focused on profitable growth:

• Expansion in the US with traffic enforcement as a service
• Establishment in new markets with traffic enforcement as a service

Timo Gatsonides was appointed Chairman of the Nomination Committee. No remuneration has been paid for the work of the Nomination Committee. Sensys Gatso Group deviates from the Code's rule 2.3, second paragraph, which states that neither the CEO nor other members of executive management are to be members of the Nomination Committee. The shareholder controlling the largest number of the votes has appointed Timo Gatsonides, who was the CTO of Sensys Gatso Group and former member of executive management until Januray 19, 2021. In light of Timo Gat- sonides' knowledge of Sensys Gatso and his large direct shareholding through a family company, it was deemed beneficial to the company to deviate from the Code on this point.

The nomination committee applies and complies with the diversity policy in the corporate governance code in its development of the proposal of directors to the board of directors. The goal of the policy is that the board shall take into account the business operations, development phase and other circumstances to prepare an appropriate composition characterized by diversity of and breath of competence, experience and background and to aim for a balanced gender distribution.

At the 2023 AGM, six members were elected, of whom two are women and four are men. As a basis for its proposal for the 2023 AGM, the Nomination Committee makes an assessment of whether the Board is appropriate based on an annual assessment of the Board's work and applying the Company Code. All shareholders are entitled to approach the Nomination Committee with proposals for the AGM. No such proposals were received before the AGM in 2023.

• Development of scalable software and flexible hardware
• Expansion of service offering in our current markets

After the Annual General Meeting, the Board is the Company's highest decision-making body. The work of the Board is governed, among other things, by the Companies Act, the Articles of Association and the Board's Rules of Procedure. The Board establishes goals and strategic guidelines, is responsible for ensuring that the CEO executes Board decisions and has ultimate responsibility for the Company's internal control and risk management. According to the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors shall consist of a minimum of three and a maximum of seven members. At the AGM, six ordinary Board members were elected. More information on the Board members can be found in the table below. The Board of Sensys Gatso consists of:

• Claes Ödman, Chairman of the Board (re-election)
• Jochem Garritsen (re-election)
• Kerstin Sjöstrand (re-election)
• Pia Hofstedt (re-election)
• Francis Schmeer (re-election)
• Mark Talbot (new election)

All members of Sensys Gatso's Board of Directors are independent in relation to both the company and the company's major shareholders. No member of the Board is employed by the Group. The Nomination Committee's assessment regarding whether each proposed member meets the independence requirements is announced in connection with the Committee's proposal. For further information see below and page 30.

The work is based on the Board's Rules of Procedure and follows an annual plan. Each meeting is based on an agenda and relevant background documentation distributed to the members of the Board in advance of the meeting. In addition to the statutory Board meeting in conjunction with the Annual General Meeting, the Board normally meets nine times a year (ordinary meetings, including meetings in connection with the publication of interim and annual reports). Additional Board meetings are convened when necessary. In 2023 the Board held a total of 15 (10) meetings. Matters addressed by the statutory Board meeting included the Board's Rules of Procedure, decisions regarding authorisation of company signatories, instructions for the CEO and the Board's annual planning. To date, not having found this appropriate in view of the size of the company and the independence of the board members, the Board has not established an Audit Committee or Remuneration Committee. The entire Board of Directors serves as the audit committee and remuneration committee. Ordinary Board meetings include several fixed agenda items such as strategic focus areas and risk management. Extra time is allocated to four Board meetings annually during which special emphasis is placed on strategic issues and future sustainable business. Reporting includes developments within the operation, the organisation, analyses of risks, sustainability work, financial position and an annual update and review of the company's policies and procedures. The Board takes decisions on matters concerning the Group's strategic focus, finances, investments,

work of the Board is well-organised and efficient, that the Board fulfils its commitments and that it receives satisfactory information and decision-making documentation.

Remuneration to the Board

The AGM resolved that Board fees should be paid in the amount of SEK 1,750,000 per year (1,750,000), of which SEK 500,000 (500,000) will be paid to the Chairman of the Board and SEK 250,000 (250,000) per year to the other Board members.

Fees payable to Board members are determined annually by the AGM. No separate fees are payable for work on committees. In 2023, remuneration was paid in accordance with note 5.

Ensuring the quality of financial reporting

The Rules of Procedure, as well as the company's policies, which are adopted annually by the Board, include detailed instructions on matters such as what financial reports and information

acquisitions, sales and organisational issues, as well as rules and instructions. All Board decisions are based on decision-making documentation and are made following discussions mediated by the Chairman of the Board. The Board monitors operations, partly through monthly reports provided by the CEO, and partly through their own work. Informal contact is also maintained among the members of the Board.

The Chairman of the Board leads the work of the Board and follows the activities in dialogue with the CEO. The Chairman of the Board represents the Company in matters concerning shareholder structure and matters of specific importance. The Chairman is responsible for ensuring that the work of the Board is well-organised and efficient, that the Board fulfils its commitments and that it receives satisfactory information and decision-making documentation.

Committees

Work in the audit committee and remuneration committee is handled according to the Board's annual plan at ordinary Board meetings. The Board takes responsibility for, and makes decisions concerning the salaries and incentive programs of the CEO and the executive management based on policies determined by the AGM. The Board is responsible for the audit. The Board fulfills this duty by maintaining regular contact with the auditing firm, meets the company's auditor without the company's management and by examining their plan for the audit activities and remuneration for this work.

Evaluation of the work of the board

The work of the Board is evaluated annually through a structured process led by the Chairman of the Board. The 2023 evaluation was conducted by means of a questionnaire with the aim of obtaining an understanding of Board members' views on the formats of the work of the Board, the composition of the Board, of Directors, the performance of the Board and areas for improvement. The results of the evaluation have been presented and discussed by the Board. The conclusions from these evaluations and discussions have been reported orally to the Nomination Committee.

should be provided to the Board. In addition to year-end reports, interim reports and annual re- ports, the Board reviews and evaluates extensive financial data regarding Sensys Gatso. The Board also processes information on risk assessments, disputes and any irregularities that may have an impact on the financial position of Sensys Gatso. The Board also reviews the most significant accounting principles applied in the Group regarding financial reporting and material changes in accounting principles, as well as reports on internal control and the processes for financial reporting.

The Company's auditors report to the Board when necessary and at least twice annually; on at least one of these occasions the company's management is not present. In connection with the Board meeting that deals with the annual financial statements, the Administration Report, the proposed appropriation of profit and the year-end report, the Company's auditor submits a report on observations and remarks from the audit.

The company's auditor, elected at the AGM, examines Sensys Gatso's annual report and consolidated accounts, the administration of the company by CEO and the Board of Directors, as well as the annual accounts of subsidiaries. The auditor also submits an audit report. The audit is conducted in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act, International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and generally accepted accounting principles in Sweden. The 2023 AGM appointed BDO Mälardalen AB as auditor with Johan Pharmansson as the auditor in charge. In February 2024, Johan Pharmansson from BDO Mälardalen AB personally presented his report to the Board regarding the auditing assignment and the Company's internal controls for 2023. BDO Mälardalen AB coordinated the audit of the Group's subsidiaries and all activities with a significant scope of operations at the subsidiaries were audited by BDO in the respective countries. The 2023 AGM resolved that remuneration be paid to the auditor in accordance with approved invoicing. The audit fee for 2023 amounted to a total of MSEK 3.6 (3.3) for the entire Group in accordance with Note 25.

CEO and Group Management

The CEO leads the operations in accordance with the instructions to the CEO as adopted by the Board. In consultation with the Chairman, the CEO compiles the necessary information and documentation which provides the basis for the Board's work. The CEO is responsible for ensuring that the Board receives relevant information and the decision-making documentation required for the Board to be able to make well-founded decisions. The CEO presents and justifies proposals for de- cisions. The CEO leads the work of the Group Management and renders decisions in consultation with other members of the management team. In 2023, Group Management consisted of the CEO, CFO, CCO and CTO. Group Management holds regular meetings to follow up operations, discuss relevant matters and draft proposals for strategic plans and budgets, which the CEO presents to the Board for decisions. Group Management has strategy days with the Board twice a year.

The Sensys Gatso Group's operations comprise five active subsidiaries. The operations of the subsidiaries are controlled by their Boards of Directors. Sensys Gatso has a decentralized structure, with a strong focus on responsibility and performance.

Guidelines for remuneration and other employment terms and conditions for senior executives

The Group Management falls within the provisions of these guidelines. The guidelines are forward -looking, i.e. they are applicable to remuneration agreed, and amendments to remuneration already agreed, after adoption of the guidelines by the Annual General Meeting. These guidelines do not apply to any remuneration decided or approved by the General Meeting. Remuneration for employment subject to other rules than Swedish may be duly adjusted to comply with mandatory

rules or local practice, taking into account the overall purpose of these guidelines. The guidelines' promotion of the Company's business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability

In short, the Company's business strategy is the following.

• Expansion in the US-market with Traffic Enforcement as a Service

Types of remuneration, etc.

Remuneration of the Group Management shall consist of a base salary, variable remuneration, pension and other benefits and remuneration. Together, these various parts shall comprise each individual's total remuneration. Additionally, long-termshare-related incentive plans can be implemented in the Company. Such plans are resolved by the General Meeting and are therefore excluded from these guidelines. Variable remuneration covered by these guidelines shall aim at promoting the Company's business strategy and long-term interests, including its sustainability. The base salary and variable compensation together constitute the senior executive's annual sal- ary. The base salary shall take into consideration each individual's area of responsibility and expe- rience. The variable compensation shall be linked to predetermined and measurable criteria. The variable compensation is based on the Company's net sales and EBITDA for the financial year, and may be paid to the Group Management. For the CEO and other members of the Group Management the variable compensation can amount to a maximum 50 per cent of their annual base salary. No variable compensation is to be paid out in the event of negative EBITDA. The Board of Directors is responsible for evaluating to what extent the criteria have been satisfied. The criteria shall be designed so as to contribute to the Company's business strategy and long-term interests, including its sustainability, by for example being clearly linked to the business strategy or promote the execu- tive's long-term development. The CEO shall benefit from a supplementary pension scheme with a premium that represents approximately 30 percent of the current annual salary. Other members of the Group Management shall have the right to retirement pensions as per the Swedish ITP plan or equivalent. The retirement age is 65 years. Other remuneration and benefits shall be paid at market rate and contribute to enabling each senior executive to fulfill their duties. Such benefits may be of a limited amount. For employment governed by rules other than Swedish, pension benefits and other benefits may be duly adjusted for compliance with mandatory rules or local practice, taking into account the overall purpose of these guidelines.

The CEO's employment contract includes termination conditions. The notice period is six months. If notice is made from the Company's side a severance pay in the form of another three months' salary is paid. The customary notice period of three to six months applies to all other members of the Group Management. The fixed salary shall remain unchanged during the notice period. Addi- tionally, remuneration may be paid for non-compete undertakings. Such remuneration shall compensate for loss of income and shall only be paid in so far as the previously employed executive is not entitled to severance pay.

Salary and employment conditions for employees

In the preparation of the Board of Directors' proposal for these remuneration guidelines, salary and employment conditions for employees of the Company have been taken into account by including information on the employees' total income, the components of the remuneration and increase and growth rate over time, in the remuneration committee's and the Board of Directors' basis of decision when evaluating whether the guidelines and the limitations set out herein are reasonable.

The decision-making process to determine, review and implement the guidelines

The Company does not have a Remuneration Committee, instead the Board of Directors handle all matters. The matters that would have been handled by a Remuneration Committee are instead handled by the Board of Directors, inter alia, preparing the Board of Directors' decision to propose guidelines for executive remuneration. The Board of Directors also monitors and evaluates questions regarding the CEO's terms of employment, pension benefits and variable remuneration, and resolves on corresponding terms regarding other senior executives. The Board of Directors shall prepare a proposal for new guidelines at least every fourth year and submit it to the General Meet- ing. The guidelines shall be in force until new guidelines are adopted by the General Meeting. The Board of Directors shall also monitor and evaluate programs for variable remuneration for the executive management, the application of the guidelines for executive remuneration as well as the current remuneration structures and compensation levels in the Company. The CEO and other members of the executive management do not participate in the Board of Directors' processing of and resolutions regarding remuneration-related matters in so far as they are affected by such matters.

Derogation from the guidelines

The Board of Directors may temporarily resolve to derogate from the guidelines, in whole or in part, if in a specific case there is special cause for the derogation and a derogation is necessary to serve the Company's long-term interests, including its sustainability, or to ensure the Company's financial viability. As set out above, the Board of Directors' tasks include preparing the resolutions in remuneration-related matters. This includes any resolutions to derogate from the guidelines. Remuneration to senior executives can be found in note 5.

Governing documents and internal control

The purpose of internal control is to create an effective decision-making process in which require- ments, goals and frameworks are clearly defined. Ultimately, internal control is aimed at protecting the company's assets and thus the shareholders' investment. The Board has overarching responsibility for ensuring that Sensys Gatso maintains satisfactory internal control. The CEO is responsible for ensuring that there is a satisfactory system of internal control covering all material risks in ongoing operations. Each year, the Board adopts governing documents in the form of instructions to the CEO, policies and guidelines including the Code of Conduct, Anti-Corruption Policy, Privacy and Data Protection Policy, Risk Policy, Finance Policy, Information Policy, Insider Policy Information Security Policy, Equality Policy, Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, and Whistle Blower Policy. The company has procedures for training and compliance, assessment and evaluation of internal efficiency. The company's business plan with follow-up is an important means of ensuring internal control. The Board's Rules of Procedure along with the instructions for the CEO provide guidance and clarify what decisions are made by the Board and what decisions are made by the CEO. Given the operations and organisational structure of the Sensys Gatso Group, as well as how

financial reporting is organised in other respects, the Board did not find a need for a dedicated audit function in the form of internal audit.

The CEO is responsible for ensuring that the Board of Directors receives the reports required to continually assess the financial position of the company. The Board continually assesses the financial reporting, which includes financial developments, financial position, cash flow and liquidity, as well as other important conditions. The CEO and CFO, who report to the Board, are responsible for maintaining an effective control environment and the ongoing processes of internal control and risk management. The Board maintains an ongoing dialogue with the Company's auditor regarding the scope and quality of the Company's financial reporting, as well as the effectiveness of the internal control and governance.

The Sensys Gatso Group's operations comprise active subsidiaries. The operations of the subsidiaries are controlled by their Boards of Directors with representatives from Group Management. Sensys Gatso has a decentralized structure and culture, with a strong focus on responsibility and performance.

Our global presence requires that our employees and business partners take responsibility for themselves and for each other. To this end we have created a regulatory framework, our Code of Conduct.

The Code of Conduct is to be followed by everyone in our Group, including our employees, the Board and management. We also inform our business partners about the Code of Conduct, and we expect them to comply with it.

Our Code of Conduct states that we are to act as a reliable and honest partner, living up to our com- mitments. We believe in long-term business relationships in which we, together with our business partners, create a basis for strong financial results, concern for the environment and social commit- ment. The Code clarifies our position on issues related to human rights, labour conditions, the en- vironment, business ethics and communication. The Code applies to all Sensys Gatso employees, regardless of their position.

In addition to the code of conduct, the board adopts a large number of policies and guidelines, e.g. anti-corruption policy, whistleblower policy, data and information security policy, risk policy, information policy and insider policy.

Equality policy

Differences between people include not only gender, ethnic origin, age, disability, religion and sexual orientation, but also experience, education, living situation and values. Taken together, such differences create a dynamic diversity that adds new perspectives and ideas. This collective diversity represents the competence within Sensys Gatso, which is a strategic asset in the Group's commercial and operational development. Sensys Gatso views equality and diversity as both self- evident and a strength, and therefore strive to achieve diversity in the composition of the work- force and in recruitment. The purpose of the equality policy is to prevent individuals from being chosen for certain groups purely/primarily due to their gender, or so that a group does not become single gendered. Candidates are appointed to positions based on the defined requirements profile. If candidates are equally qualified, Sensys Gatso shall ensure that the company's work groups are well balanced and that Sensys Gatso uses the time and skills of its employees in a manner that benefits both operations and individual personal development. When filling vacant positions, the company shall also strive to achieve the best possible age and ethnicity distribution.

In practice, this means that management takes responsibility and strives to ensure that the com- pany's groups have a good balance of employees whose time and skills are used in a manner that

benefits both operations and individual personal development. The aim is to strive for as even a distribution as possible of all work tasks in the workplace and to act to prevent gender division in different tasks and roles.

Code of Conduct, policies and guidelines

The Board yearly review and approve the following corporate policies that supports Sensys Gatso's corporate culture:

• Code of Conduct
• Anti Corruption Policy
• CSR policy
• Equality policy
• Whistle Blower Policy
• Information Security Policy
• Privacy Policy
• IR & Communication Policy
• Insider Policy
• Social Media Policy
• Risk Policy
• Finance Policy

During 2023 no incidents have been reported via the whistleblower reporting channel.

Risk assessment

The company continuously monitors risk and updates its analysis and assessment of risks that could lead to errors in the financial reporting. This is achieved mainly through documented procedures and contacts between the CEO and CFO. The financial risk assessment is mainly related to the potential for material misstatement in the reporting of the company's financial position and perfor- mance. To minimise these risks, governing documents have been established for accounting and there are procedures for annual reporting and follow-up of reported annual accounts. The financial reporting is managed through the Group's control structure. Management also works continuously

to identify and manage significant risks that affect the	financial reporting. More information about
the company's risk management and financial risks can	be found in Note 27.

Management identifies those areas that are at increased risk of strategic, financial, or operational errors. In accordance with the risk policy, at least once a year the Board analyses the outcome of the company's risk assessment and risk management to ensure that it covers all significant risk areas.

Control activities

Sensys Gatso has established and documented a number of internal procedures that are both preventive in nature and aimed at avoiding losses or errors in the financial reporting. Control activities involve all levels in the organisation. To ensure completeness and accuracy in the financial report- ing, instructions and guidelines are being put into place and communicated to the relevant person- nel. Control activities also include follow-up and comparisons of earnings and order intake, account reconciliations and balances, as well as accounting and valuation principles.

Financial reports are prepared for the Group each quarter. The process includes detailed reviews and analyses, as well as specific analyses of revenue recognition, cost follow-up, investments, cash flow, financing and liquidity. The control environment, which is summarised in Sensys Gatso's policies and guidelines, is established based on how the operations are organised, the corporate culture, communication, documentation and follow-up. The main task for management and its employees is, in part, to apply, assess and maintain Sensys Gatso's control procedures and, in part, to perform internal control focused on business-critical issues. The company's auditor reviews a selection of controls and procedures and reports any areas for improvement to the management team and the Board. Nothing has emerged to indicate that the control system would not work as intended.

The Sensys Gatso share is listed on a regulated market, Nasdaq Stockholm, and the company applies and follows the Nasdaq Rulebook for Issuers of Shares, as well as laws, rules, and good practices in the stock market. The share is traded under the ticker symbol SGG.
