Report on the Eniro Nomination Committee work for the AGM, May 7, 2008 Following the nomination procedure established by the AGM of March 30, 2007 Eniro s largest shareholders were identified as per August 31, 2007. The four largest shareholders willing to participate in the nomination work each appointed one representative to serve as a member of the Nomination Committee together with the Chairman of the Board. At its first meeting on October 8, 2007, the Committee elected its Chairman and constituted itself as follows: - Niklas Antman, Kairos Investment Management, Chairman of the Committee - Wouter Rosingh, Hermes Focus Asset Management Europe Ltd - Luca Bechis, Richmond Capital - Mads Eg Gensmann, Parvus Asset Management - Lars Berg, Chairman of the Eniro Board A press release regarding the above was published the same day, well ahead of six months prior to the AGM 2008. In total, five minuted meetings were held. The Committee has among other things dealt with an independent evaluation of the Board and the proposal for the Board composition as well as the election of auditors for the coming four-year period. An independent consultant conducted the 2007 Board evaluation from interviews in person and from questionnaire. The findings were reported and formed the basis for the Committee s discussion on the best composition of the Eniro Board. The result is the proposal of three new board members to the AGM 2008: - Karin Forseke, Member of the FSA Board and the Swedish Financial Markets Advisory Committee. Former CEO of Carnegie Investment Bank. - Mattias Miksche, CEO of Stardoll.com and former CEO and founder of Boxman, Sweden. - Simon Waldman, Group Director of Digital Strategy and Development at Guardian Media Group. Chairman of the UK Association of Online Publishers. 16

Gunilla Fransson, Per Bystedt and Tomas Franzén have declined re-election at the AGM. Lars Berg, Barbara Donoghue, Luca Majocchi and Harald Strømme are proposed for reelection, with Lars Berg as Chairman of the Board. The Committee decided to propose to the AGM 2008, to leave the individual Board fees unchanged. The total Board fees will increase due to the increased number of remunerated Board members 2008 compared to 2007. The Nomination Committee considers it essential that Board members, elected by the General Meeting, own shares in Eniro. The Board members therefore commit to invest part of the Board fee (The Chairman SEK 350,000 and SEK 180,000 per other individual member), net 50 percent tax, in Eniro shares, and to keep them for the duration of their Board membership plus six months. The Committee delegated to the Audit Committee to lead the process to appoint auditors for the coming four years. The Committee approved the final proposal from the Audit Committee and decided to propose to the AGM 2008, PwC to continue as auditors. It was also decided to propose to the AGM that the same nomination procedure used in the nomination work this year, to be used the coming year. The Nomination Committee also decided to propose the Attorney at Law, Dick Lundqvist, to act as the Chairman of the AGM on May 7, 2008. As a concluding activity regarding this year s work, the Nomination Committee decided to issue this report. 17
