Karnov Group enables advance voting at the Annual General Meeting on 5 May 2020

The Board of Directors of Karnov Group AB (publ) has today resolved that shareholders in Karnov Group AB shall be able to exercise its voting rights at the Annual General Meeting on 5 May 2020 by advance voting. The intention is to minimise the number of people gathered at the location of the AGM, as a part of the effort to minimise the risk of spreading the Covid-19, while still encouraging shareholders to exercise their voting rights. Karnov Group therefore encourages all shareholders to exercise the possibility to advance voting.

Shareholders who wish to exercise the possibility of advance voting shall, in addition to being included in the shareholder’s register and notifying Karnov Group AB of their intention to attend the AGM in accordance with the instructions in the notice convening the AGM, use a form for advance voting, which is available on Karnov Group’s website, www.karnovgroup.com.

The completed voting form must be submitted no later than Monday 4 May 2020 at 3:00 PM CET. The completed and signed form shall be sent to Karnov Group AB (publ), Att: Annual General Meeting, Warfvinges väg 39, 112 51 Stockholm. A completed and signed form may also be submitted electronically and is to be sent to AGM@karnovgroup.com. If the shareholder is a legal entity, a copy of a registration certificate or a corresponding authorization document shall be enclosed to the form. The same applies if the shareholder votes in advance by proxy. The shareholder may not provide special instructions or conditions in the voting form. If so, the vote in its entirety is invalid.

Further instructions and conditions are included in the form for advance voting.

As previously stated in the press release regarding the notice of the AGM, Karnov Group has decided to take the following precautionary measures in connection with the AGM in consideration of the health and safety of our shareholders, employees and other stakeholders:
