Allocation principles in SEB's proposal for employee stock options

SEB's Annual General Meeting, which will be held on Thursday, April 1, will consider the proposal on the continuation of the employee stock option programme, which has been in place for the past five years. The overall proposal has been available on www.sebgroup.com since March 18. Prior to the Annual General Meeting, discussions have taken place with the 17 largest shareholders on the proposal and principles for the allocation of employee stock options.
 
After consultation with these shareholders, SEB's Board has come to a decision that the final allocation will be result-based for the 50 highest managers included in SEB's Management Advisory Group, on condition that the proposal is approved at the Annual General Meeting. Should SEB's operating result for 2004 be SEK 7.0bn or lower, these managers will receive no final allocation of employee stock options. Should the operating result reach at least SEK 8.9bn, however, the full final allocation of employee stock options will be issued. An operating result between these values will allow for employee stock options in linear proportion. The operating result for 2003 was SEK 7,963m.
 
Other employees included in the programme will receive the allocation in accordance with principles published previously.
