In the new Remuneration Rules, the Swedish Corporate Governance Board, which is to promote good practice in the Swedish securities market, has assembled the rulings of the Swedish Securities Council and the Swedish Corporate Governance Code’s rules on remuneration into a comprehensive regulatory framework that stipulates what is good practice in the Swedish securities market with regard to remuneration to a company's senior executives and with regard to shares and share price related incentive programmes.

Through this work, the existing rules on remuneration, remuneration principles and remuneration reports contained in the Swedish Corporate Governance Code (“the Code”), have been moved to the Remuneration Rules, with some changes. This means that the Code's rules on these matters will no longer apply. A table has been drawn up to show the moves and the changes. With regard to incentive programmes, the Remuneration Rules entail a codification of current generally accepted practice. Any changes to these rules will take place in a future revision of the Remuneration Rules.

The new rules come into force on 1 January 2021.
