Corporate governance

Corporate governance is a term for how decision-making
authority and responsibility is distributed between the different parts of the
ReadSoft group. Corporate governance is made up partly of applicable laws and
regulations and partly of processes and systems that the board and management
implement.
Decision-making authority at ReadSoft is distributed between various
institutions. The distribution is designed to create a power balance and to
ensure that governance and control occurs in an efficient and satisfactory
manner.
The annual general meeting is the company's highest decision-making institution.
The board of directors and external auditors are elected at the annual meeting.
The annual meeting also determines how the election committee will be chosen and
which duties will be assigned to it. The election committee makes suggestions
for the annual general meeting including the election of the board of directors
and the auditors.
The board of directors is responsible for the group company's long-term
development and strategy as well as for monitoring and assessing the company's
activities on an on-going basis. The board of directors appoints a chief
executive officer (CEO) for ReadSoft AB.
The chief executive officer manages the group company's activities, partly
through the management group and partly through the board of directors for each
subsidiary.
In addition to the annual general meeting and the on-going work of the board of
directors, as well as the CEO's administrative duties, corporate governance is
determined through the agreement with OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm AB, through
corporate bylaws and through the Swedish code for corporate governance.
