The board of directors withdrew its proposal for resolution on implementation of a long-term incentive program for the company’s CEO, Group Management and key employees. The background to the withdrawal was that certain international institutional shareholders had informed the company that they intended to vote against the proposal which would result in the required majority requirement of nine-tenths of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the annual general meeting not being met. The board of directors intends to prepare a revised proposal for a long-term incentive program that will be presented for adoption at a subsequent extraordinary general meeting.
