NOTE 29 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE LOANS<br />
Loan 2002/2007 Series 1–4<br />
The loan was issued within the framework of <strong>Securitas</strong>’ employee incentive program<br />
on May 2, 2002 to a special purpose company, <strong>Securitas</strong> Employee Convertible<br />
2002 Holding S.A. in Luxembourg, in which employees have subscribed for shares.<br />
The loan matures on May 2, 2007 and conversions may be requested no earlier than<br />
90 days before and no later than 14 days after the loan’s maturity. The loans carry<br />
a variable interest rate equivalent to 90 percent of the 3-month EURIBOR plus 0.49<br />
percentage points. Interest expense on the loan was charged against net income for<br />
the year in the amount of MSEK 77,9 (94.6 and 94.6).<br />
The reference price for the <strong>Securitas</strong> share, measured as the average closing price<br />
during the period April 24–30, 2002, was set at SEK 186.90. The EUR–SEK exchange<br />
rate was set at SEK 9.23. This produces a conversion rate of EUR 20.30<br />
(0 percent premium) on the fi rst convertible loan. The second, third and fourth<br />
series will have a conversion rate of EUR 24.30 (20 percent premium), EUR 28.40<br />

NOTE 31 PROVISIONS FOR PENSIONS AND SIMILAR<br />
COMMITMENTS<br />
The Group operates or participates in a number of defi ned benefi t and defi ned contribution<br />
pension and other long-term employee post benefi t plans throughout the<br />
world. These plans are structured in accordance with local conditions and practices.<br />
The overall cost of these plans for the Group is included in Note 11.<br />
USA<br />
The majority of the Group’s U.S. employees are eligible to join their respective<br />
employer’s defi ned contribution retirement arrangements under which the employer<br />
matches employee contributions up to certain limits, although take-up rates are<br />
low. Changes were made in January 2002 to integrate the plan designs following<br />
the Burns acquisition in September 2000. The Group’s U.S. operations also operates<br />
two defi ned benefi t pension plans which are closed to new entrants and future<br />
benefi t accruals. One of these plans are funded with assets held separately from<br />
those of the employer. The Group’s plan for health care was for the most part terminated<br />
during <strong>2005</strong>. The effect of this termination amounts to MSEK 89.9 and is<br />
included in the line Curtailments och settlements in the table Pension costs below.<br />
UK<br />
Two funded defi ned benefi t plans are operated in the UK with assets held separately<br />
from those of the employer. Both provide benefi ts linked to members’ service and<br />
fi nal salary. In addition, the operations in the UK sponsor various defi ned contribution<br />
arrangements.<br />
Sweden<br />
Blue-collar workers are covered by the SAF-LO collective pension plan, an industrywide<br />
multi-employer defi ned contribution arrangement. White-collar workers are<br />
covered by the industry-wide ITP plan, which is a defi ned benefi t plan based on a<br />
collective agreement and operated on a multi-employer basis. According to a statement<br />
(URA 42) issued by the Swedish Emerging Issues Task Force this is a multiemployer<br />
defi ned benefi t plan. Alecta, the insurance company that operates this<br />
plan has been unable to provide <strong>Securitas</strong>, or other Swedish companies, with<br />
suffi cient information to determine its share of the total assets and liabilities for<br />
this arrangement. In line with a statement issued by the Swedish Institute of Authorised<br />
Public Accountants this arrangement is therefore accounted for on a defi<br />
ned contribution basis. The cost for <strong>2005</strong> amounts to MSEK 46.9 (33.4 and 33.4).<br />
The surplus in Alecta can be allocated to the insured employer and/or the insured<br />
employees. Alecta’s level of consolidation was 128.5 percent (128.0 and 128.0) as<br />
of December 31,<strong>2005</strong>. The level of consolidation is calculated as the fair value of<br />
Alecta’s plan assets in percent of the obligations calculated according to Alecta’s<br />
actuarial assumptions. This calculation is not in line with IAS 19.<br />
Norway<br />
The majority of employees participate in a group pension plan, which is a funded<br />
defi ned benefi t arrangement with assets held under a separate insurance policy. In<br />
addition, the group participates in two unfunded arrangements; one provides early<br />
retirement bridging benefi ts for employees, the other providing individual pension<br />
promises as agreed with the company. In <strong>2005</strong>, the Norwegian pension plans were<br />
partly closed to new entrants.<br />
Other countries<br />
There are also defi ned benefi t arrangements in other countries than those mentioned<br />
above. The material plans are :<br />
Retirement indemnity plans mandatory for all French companies, which by law<br />
provides a lump sum to employees on retirement.<br />
Three schemes exists in Germany. A pension arrangement closed to new<br />
entrants, a jubilee arrangement (long service award) based on collective bargaining<br />
agreements and old-age part time working pensions for certain employees.<br />
As part of the transition to IAS 19/RR 29 Employee benefi ts the disability element<br />
of the TEL-plan, which is mandatory in Finland, was also included in the opening<br />
balance of the adjusted net liability for pensions and similar commitments. In 2004<br />
it was agreed that changes would be made to the TEL-plan to come into effect from<br />
January 1, 2006. This has resulted in a curtailment gain of MSEK 4.5 (52.5 and<br />
52.5), which is included within the line Settlements/curtailments/terminations<br />
in the table Pension costs below. In addition to this, there were some further<br />
curtailments and settlements during the year of MSEK 3.0 (0.2 and 0.2).<br />
Other information<br />
As of December 31, <strong>2005</strong> the following assumptions were used for the major plans<br />
in <strong>Securitas</strong> concerning mortality :<br />
USA – ”193 Group Annuity Mortality Table”.<br />
UK – ”PA 92 series of tables with allowance for future improvements,<br />
and the medium cohort effect on current pensioners”.<br />
Norway – tables in series ”K63”.<br />
These tables have been establised for use after consultation with the company’s<br />
actuaries and refl ect <strong>Securitas</strong>’ view concerning future mortality considering future<br />
expected increases in the lenght of life.<br />
