Shareholders who wish to attend the meeting room in person or by proxy shall:
- Firstly, be included in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB on May 2, 2023, and
- Secondly, notify their participation in writing to the address Computershare AB, Box 5267, 102 46 Stockholm (mark the envelope with "Beijer Electronics Group AGM"), by telephone to +46 (0)771 24 64 00, by e-mail to proxy@computershare.se, or electronically (only for natural persons) on the company's website www.beijergroup.com no later than 4 May 2023.
Notifications should state the shareholders’ name, personal or corporate identity number, address, telephone number and any assistants. Shareholders or representatives of shareholders may bring a maximum of two assistants. Assistants may only be brought if the shareholder notifies this.
If the shareholder is represented by proxy, a written and dated power of attorney signed by the shareholder shall be issued to the proxy. If the power of attorney has been issued by a legal entity, certificate of registration or equivalent authorization documents must be attached. Proxy forms are available on the company's website www.beijergroup.com and are sent to shareholders who so request.
Shareholders who wish to attend the meeting room in person or by proxy must notify this in accordance with the above. This means that a notification by postal voting only as described below is not enough for those shareholders who want to attend the meeting room.
In order to facilitate registration at the meeting, a power of attorney and certificate of registration and other authorization documents should be received by the company at the above address no later than 4 May 2023.
Participation by postal voting
Shareholders who wish to participate in the meeting by postal vote shall:
- Firstly, be entered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB on 2 May 2023, and
- Secondly, no later than 4 May 2023 register by casting their postal vote in accordance with the instructions below so that the postal vote is received by Computershare no later than that day.
For postal voting, a special form shall be used. The form is available on Beijer Electronics Group's website www.beijergroup.com. Completed and signed postal voting forms are sent to Computershare in writing to the address Computershare AB, Box 5267, SE-102 46 Stockholm (mark the envelope with "Beijer Electronics Group AGM"), or by e-mail to proxy@computershare.se. Completed forms must be received by Computershare by May 4, 2023.
Shareholders who are natural persons can also cast a postal vote electronically, by verification with BankID via the company's website www.beijergroup.com.
The shareholder may not provide the postal vote with special instructions or conditions. If this happens, the postal vote will in its entirety be invalid. Further instructions can be found in the postal voting form.
If the shareholder votes by post by proxy, the signed and dated power of attorney must be attached to the postal voting form. If the shareholder is a legal entity, a copy of the certificate of registration, or if such a document does not exist, equivalent authorization documents must be attached. Proxy forms are available at the company and on the company's website www.beijergroup.com. If a shareholder votes by post and then participates in the meeting room in person or by proxy, the postal vote shall be valid as long as the shareholder does not participate in a voting or otherwise withdraws the postal vote. If the shareholder chooses to participate in a vote at the meeting, the cast vote will replace the earlier submitted postal vote for the point in question.
Anyone who wishes to attend the meeting room in person or by proxy must notify this according to the instructions under the heading Participation in the meeting room above. This means that a notification by postal voting alone is not enough for those who want to attend the meeting room.

Shareholders with nominee-registered holdings must, in order to be entitled to participate in the Annual General Meeting, in addition to registering for the meeting, have the shares registered in their own name and be included in the share register no later than 2 May 2023. Such re-registration may be temporary (so-called voting rights registration) and is requested from the trustee in accordance with the trustee's procedures in such a time as the trustee determines. Voting rights registrations made by the nominee no later than 4 May 2023 will be taken into account in the preparation of the share register.
