MQ Holding AB held its Annual General Meeting on 29 January 2015 in Gothenburg, Sweden. At the AGM, the income statements and balance sheets of the Parent Company and the Group for the 2013/2014 financial year were approved. The AGM also approved the Board’s proposal for the distribution of profits through a dividend of SEK 1.36 per share. The record date was set as Monday, 2 February 2015 and payment is expected to be made through Euroclear Sweden AB on Thursday, 5 February 2015. The Board and CEO were discharged from liability for the 2013/2014 financial year.

The AGM resolved that, until the next Annual General Meeting, the Board will comprise seven members. Arthur Engel, Annika Rost, Mernosh Saatchi, Michael Olsson and Bengt Jaller were re-elected as Board members, while Claes-Göran Sylvén and Anna Engebretsen were elected as new Board members. Claes-Göran Sylvén was elected Chairman of the Board and Bengt Jaller was elected Deputy Chairman.

The AGM also approved an annual Board fee totalling SEK 1,600,000, of which SEK 400,000 for the Chairman and SEK 200,000 for each of the other Board members. Remuneration for committee work was approved at SEK 15,000 per meeting day. The decision means that the total Board remuneration is unchanged from the amount approved by the preceding AGM.
