General meetings
According to the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551) (Sw. aktiebolagslagen), the general meeting is the Company’s ultimate decision-making body. At the general meeting, the shareholders exercise their voting rights in key issues, such as the adoption of income statements and balance sheets, appropriation of the Company’s results, discharge from liability of members of the board of directors and the CEO, election of members of the board of directors and auditors and remuneration to the board of directors and the auditors.
The annual general meeting must be held within six months from the end of the financial year. In addition to the annual general meeting, extraordinary shareholders’ meetings may be convened. According to the articles of association, general meetings are convened by publication of the convening notice in the Swedish National Gazette (Sw. Post- och Inrikes Tidningar) and on the Company’s website. At the time of the notice convening the meeting, information regarding the notice shall be published in Dagens Industri.

Typically, it is possible for a shareholder to register for the general meeting in several different ways as indicated in the notice of the meeting. A shareholder may vote for all Company shares owned or represented by the shareholder.
