Report this content

The shareholders of Medicover AB (publ), with registered office in Stockholm and corporate registration number 559073-9487, are summoned to the annual general meeting on Thursday 29 April 2021.

In order to mitigate the spread of Covid-19, the board of directors has decided that the annual general meeting will be conducted by advance voting only, without physical presence of shareholders, proxies and third parties.

Medicover AB (publ) welcomes all shareholders to exercise their voting rights at the annual general meeting through advance voting on the basis of temporary statutory rules, according to the procedure set out below. Information on the resolutions passed at the annual general meeting will be published on Thursday 29 April 2021, as soon as the result of the voting has been finally confirmed.

In the advance voting form, the shareholders may request that a resolution on one or several of the matters on the proposed agenda below should be deferred to a so-called continued general meeting, which cannot be conducted solely by way of advance voting. Such continued general meeting shall take place if the annual general meeting so resolves or if shareholders owning at least one tenth of all shares in the company so request. The shareholders are reminded of their right to request information according to Chapter 7 Section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act.

Preconditions for participation in the annual general meeting

  • have registered by casting their advance vote in accordance with the instructions under the heading “Advance voting” below, so that the advance voting form is received by Euroclear Sweden AB no later than on Wednesday 28 April 2021.

Shareholders whose shares are registered in the name of a nominee through a bank or a securities institution must re-register their shares in their own names to be entitled to participate in the annual general meeting. Such re-registrations, which may be temporary, must be recorded in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB on Wednesday 21 April 2021. The share register on Wednesday 21 April 2021 will include re-registrations made no later than Friday 23 April 2021, and the shareholders must therefore advise their nominees well in advance of this date.

Advance voting

The shareholders may only exercise their voting rights at the annual general meeting by voting in advance, so-called postal voting in accordance with Section 22 of the Act (2020:198) on temporary exceptions to facilitate the execution of general meetings in companies and other associations.

A special form shall be used for advance voting. The form is available on the company’s website, https://www.medicover.com. The advance voting form is considered as the notification of participation.
