At the disposal of the AGM, SEK 13,308,660,870, shall be allocated so that SEK 20 per preference share is paid to the preference shareholders, totaling SEK 46,875,000. The remaining amount, SEK 13,261,785,870, is to be transferred on a new account.

Payment of dividends to the preference shareholders shall be made quarterly with SEK 5 per payment opportunity. As record days, in accordance with the Housing Act, July 5, 2019, October 5, 2019, January 5, 2020 and April 5, 2020.

If a record date above is not a banking day, the record date should be the previous banking day. Payment of dividends shall be made on the third banking day after the record date.

Amendment of the Articles of Association (item 9)

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to amend the Articles of Association as follows. The proposed amendment in § 7 is due to the fact that the Board considers that flexibility with regard to the auditor's term of office is more appropriate. The proposed amendment to § 14 is of an editorial nature, since the name of the law stated in the provision in question has been changed in the period after a reconciliation reservation was introduced in the company's articles of association.

The decision to amend the Articles of Association is valid only if it has been supported by shareholders with at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Meeting.

Board of Directors, auditors and board and auditor fees (points 10–11)

The shareholder Fredensborg AS, which represents approximately 86.2 percent of the shares and approximately 98.4 percent of the votes in the Company, proposes the following.

Determination of fees for the Board and auditor (paragraph 10)

It is proposed that no board fee be paid to the chairman or other board members.

To the Company's auditors, fees shall be paid according to approved invoice.

Election of board members and any deputy board members (item 11)

It is proposed that the Board shall consist of four members and no deputies, ie. no change in the number of Board members elected by the AGM is proposed.

It is proposed that Board members for the period up to the end of the next AGM re-elect all members, which means re-election of Ivar Tollefsen, John Giverholt, Patrik Hall and Magnus Nordholm as members of the Board of Directors for the period until the end of the Annual General Meeting 2020.

Election of auditors (item 11)

The Board of Directors proposes that the number of auditors should be unchanged two and proposes for the period until the end of the next AGM re-election of the registered auditing firm Ernst & Young Aktiebolag and re-election of authorized auditor Ingemar Rindstig, active at Ernst & Young Aktiebolag, as the company's auditors. Ernst & Young Aktiebolag has announced that, if the auditing company is chosen, Peter von Knorring will continue to be the auditor in charge.

Shareholders' right to request information

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director shall, if any shareholder so requests and the Board considers that this can be done without material damage to the Company, at the Annual General Meeting provide information on conditions that may affect the assessment of a case on the agenda, and circumstances that may affect the assessment of the Company's or subsidiary's financial situation and about the relationship between the Company and other Group companies.
