ATRIA GROUP PLC'S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 3 MAY 2007
The AGM approved the financial statement for 2006 and discharged the members of
the Supervisory Board and the Board of Directors as well as the President from
further liability. The dividend to be paid was set at EUR 0.595 per share.
The owners included in the owner list on the balancing day, 8 May 2007, will be
able to withdraw the dividend from the bank account entered for the book-entry
account starting from the date of payment, 15 May 2007.
The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on increasing the company's
share capital by means of one or more subscription issues, so that the maximum
number of the company's series A shares available for subscription should not
exceed a total of 10,000,000 shares. The nominal value of one series A share is
EUR 1.70.
The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on one of more share capital
increases in which the share capital is increased by a maximum of EUR 850,000.
The AGM set the validity period of these authorisations to a maximum of five
years, starting from the authorisation decision.
The share issue authorisation given to the Board of Directors applies to both a
cash share issue and a bonus issue. The share issue may also be a private
offering, if there is a strong financial justification for it concerning the
benefit of the company or, in case of a directed bonus issue, a particularly
strong financial justification concerning the benefit of the company and all its
shareholders.
The authorisation for a bonus issue can be mainly used when executing the share
ownership plan of the senior management.
The Board of Directors was given authorisation to decide on all the conditions
of the share issues, including who is entitled to subscription and what the
price will be.
This authorisation will be in effect for five years from the authorisation
decision.
The AGM decided to re-elect the following retiring members of the Supervisory
Board: Mika Asunmaa, Lassi-Antti Haarala, Juhani Herrala, Heikki Panula and
Ahti-Pekka Vornanen. Sinikka Ouramo (Raahe) and Teuvo Mutanen (Polvijärvi) were
elected as new members.
Pekka Loikkanen, Authorised Public Accountant, and Eero Suomela, Authorised
Public Accountant, will continue to act as the company's auditors. The deputy
auditors are PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy and Markku Tynjälä, Authorised Public
Accountant.
