In order to prevent the spread of the Corona virus, the Board of Directors has decided that the EGM shall be held without the physical presence of shareholders, representatives and external parties and the EGM will only be conducted by postal voting.

Registration and participation
Shareholders who wish to participate in the EGM via postal voting must:

  • be registered in the shareholders' register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB as of Wednesday, November 4, 2020, and
  • notify their intention to participate by having submitted a postal vote in accordance with the instructions under the heading 'Postal voting' below in such a manner that Euroclear Sweden AB has received the postal vote by Wednesday, November 11, 2020 at the latest.

Shareholders whose shares are held in the name of a trustee must, in addition to providing notification of participation in the EGM, re-register the shares in their own name so that the shareholder is registered in the share register on November 4, 2020 to be entitled to participate in the EGM. Such registration may be temporary (so-called voting right registration) and may be requested from the trustee in accordance with the trustee's procedures at a time in advance as determined by the trustee. Voting rights registered not later than the second banking day after November 4, 2020 are taken into account in the preparation of the share register.

Postal voting
The Board of Directors has decided that the shareholders may only exercise their voting rights by postal voting pursuant to Section 22 to the Swedish Act on Temporary Exemptions to Facilitate the Execution of General Meetings in Companies and Associations (2020:198).
