Extraordinary general meeting in Broström approved authorisation to the Board to issue shares in order to acquire parts

The Board’s proposal that the extraordinary general meeting authorises the Board, pursuant to the articles of association, without preferential right of the shareholders, on one or several occasions, for a period up until next annual general meeting, to decide on a new share issue of a total of 6,300,000 shares of series B for a consideration of capital contributed in kind, was approved by the extraordinary general meeting on 1 December 2004. “The authorisation enables Broström to continue to develop in an efficient way”, says Lennart Simonsson, CEO of Broström. After full utilisation of the authorisation with up to 6,300,000 new issued shares of series B this is equivalent to a dilution effect of up to 17.73 per cent of the amount of outstanding shares and 11.52 per cent of the amount of outstanding votes.
