Byggmax enables advance voting at the Annual General Meeting
The Board of Directors of Byggmax Group AB (publ) has resolved that shareholders may exercise their voting rights at the Annual General Meeting to be held on May 6, 2020 by voting in advance. The intention is to reduce the spread of COVID-19 (the corona virus) by minimizing the number of participants attending the AGM in person.
Advance voting will be possible in accordance with the rules on voting by post set out in the Swedish Act (2020:198) on Temporary Exceptions to Facilitate the Execution of General Meetings in Companies and Other Associations. Byggmax encourages its shareholders to use this opportunity to minimize the number of participants attending the AGM in person and thus reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Shareholders who wish to exercise the possibility of advance voting shall fill in and sign the form for voting by post which is available on the Company’s website (https://om.byggmax.se/en/corporate-governance/the-general-meeting-of-shareholders). The form shall then be sent to Byggmax Group AB (publ), c/o Advokatfirman Lindahl KB, Studentgatan 6, 211 38 Malmö, Sweden. A complete and signed form may also be submitted electronically and shall, in that case, be sent to byggmax@lindahl.se.
The form for voting by post must be Byggmax at hand no later than at 12.00 noon CEST on Monday, May 4, 2020. If the shareholder is a legal entity, a copy of the certificate of registration or a similar document of authorization is to be attached. The same applies if the shareholder votes in advance by proxy. The shareholder may not add specific instructions or conditions to the advance vote. If so, the vote is invalid. Further instructions and conditions can be found in the form for voting by post.
Please note that shareholders who wish to exercise the possibility of advance voting also must be listed in the register of shareholders on Wednesday, April 29, 2020 and notify the Byggmax of their intention to participate in the AGM no later than at 4.00 p.m. CEST on Wednesday, April 29, 2020. Closer instructions can be found in the Notification of the 2020 AGM which was made public on April 3, 2020.
