Authorization for the Board to resolve on repurchase and transfer of own shares
The Meeting resolved to authorize the Board to resolve on repurchase and transfer of own shares with the purpose to enable the Board to continuously adapt Loomis' capital structure to the company's capital requirements and to enable financing of acquisitions by using own shares.
Resolution on reduction of the share capital by means of cancellation of repurchased shares and increase the share capital through a bonus issue
The Meeting resolved in accordance with the Board’s proposal to reduce the share capital with SEK 21,399,145 by way of cancellation of 4,279,829 own shares that are held by the company. Simultaneously, a bonus issue is carried out increasing the company’s share capital with the same amount, without the issuance of new shares. The company’s restricted equity and share capital will therefore remain unchanged after the implementation of the bonus issue. Following completion of the reduction of the share capital and the bonus issue, the total number of outstanding shares and votes in the company will amount to 71,000,000.
