The shareholders of Elos Medtech AB (publ), corporate ID no. 556021-9650, headquartered in Gothenburg, are hereby invited to the Extraordinary General Meeting (the “EGM”) on Friday, 13 August 2021.

There will be no possibility to attend in person or by proxy at the EGM. Information about the resolutions adopted at the EGM will be published on 13 August 2021 as soon as the outcome of the vote is finally compiled.

Right to participation

Entitled to participate, by advance voting, at the EGM are persons who have been admitted as a shareholder in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB relating to the circumstances on Thursday, 5 August 2021, and who have cast their advance vote in accordance with the instructions under the heading "Advance voting" below, so that the advance voting form is received by the company no later than Thursday, 12 August 2021.

To be entitled to participate at the EGM, in addition to providing notification of participation, a shareholder whose shares are held in the name of a nominee must register its shares in its own name so that the shareholder is recorded in the share register as of 5 August 2021. Such registration may be temporary (so-called voting right registration) and is requested from the nominee in accordance with the nominee’s procedures and in such time in advance as the nominee determines. Voting right registrations completed 9 August 2021 at the latest are taken into account when preparing the share registry.

Advance voting

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

For advance voting, a special form shall be used. The form is available on Elos Medtech's website, www.elosmedtech.com. The advance voting form is considered as the notification of attendance to the EGM.

The completed voting form must be submitted to Elos Medtech no later than Thursday, 12 August 2021. The completed form should be sent to address: Elos Medtech AB (publ), Extraordinary General Meeting 2021, c/o Advokatfirman Vinge KB, Box 11 025, SE-404 21 Gothenburg, Sweden. The completed form may also be submitted electronically and must then be sent to elosmedtech@vinge.se. If the shareholder is a legal entity, a registration certificate or other authorization document shall be attached to the form. The same applies if the shareholder votes in advance by proxy. The shareholder may not provide the advance vote with special instructions or conditions. If this is the case, the vote (i.e. the advance vote as a whole) is invalid.

Further instructions and conditions can be found on the advance voting form.

Proxy forms for shareholders who wish to vote by proxy will be available on the company's website, www.elosmedtech.com.
