Husqvarna AB’s Annual General Meeting – updated proposal from Nomination Committee

Due to the COVID-19 situation, the Nomination Committee of Husqvarna AB has decided to withdraw its proposal that the April 2, 2020 Annual General Meeting of Husqvarna AB ("AGM") approve an increase in board fees (AGM Agenda Item #10). Instead, the Nomination Committee now proposes that the board fees remain unchanged from 2019.  The Nomination Committee’s other proposals to the AGM remain unaffected. 

To avoid risk of transmission of the COVID-19 virus, we again encourage Shareholders (especially those in high risk groups) to avoid attending the AGM in person and to instead appoint a proxy holder who can vote on their behalf.  Please refer to our press release of March 19, 2020 for further instructions.
