The company announces the date and location of the Annual General Meeting as soon as the Board has made its decision, but not later than in connection with the third-quarter report. Information pertaining to the time and location is available on the company’s website. Shareholders that are registered in Euroclear Sweden’s shareholders’ register on the record date and have registered participation in adequate time are entitled to participate in the Annual General Meeting and vote according to their shareholdings. All information concerning the company’s general meetings, such as registration, entitlement for items to be entered in the agenda in the notification, minutes, etc., are available on the company’s website.
With regard to participation in the Annual General Meeting, the Board has deemed it not financially justifiable at present to allow shareholders to participate in the Annual General Meeting through any means other than physical presence. It is the company’s ambition that the Annual General Meeting shall be a consummate body for shareholders, in accordance with the intentions of the Swedish Companies Act, which is why the objective is that the Board in its entirety, the representative of the Nomination Committee, the President, auditors and other management executives must always be present at the Annual General Meeting.
