Advance voting

Shareholders may exercise their voting rights at the EGM only by voting in advance, so-called postal voting pursuant to Section 22 of the Act (2020:198) on temporary exemptions to facilitate the execution of general meetings in companies and other associations.

The shareholder may not provide special instructions or conditions in the voting form. If so, the vote (i.e. the advance vote in its entirety) is invalid.
