Advance voting

The shareholders may exercise their voting rights at the 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. Be advised that this is the only possible way to attend and vote at the general meeting held on 9 April 2021.

A special form shall be used for advance voting. The form is available on the Company’s website, www.ossdsign.com. A shareholder who is exercising its voting right through advance voting do not need to notify the Company of its attendance to the general meeting. The advance voting form is considered as the notification of attendance to the general meeting. The completed voting form must be submitted to the Company no later than on 8 April 2021. The completed form shall be sent to the address OssDsign AB (publ), Attn: Anders Svensson, Rapsgatan 23A, 754 50 Uppsala, Sweden. A completed form may also be submitted electronically and is to be sent to: anders.svensson@ossdsign.com. If the shareholder is a legal entity, a certificate of incorporation or a corresponding document shall be enclosed to the form. The same applies to shareholders voting in advance by proxy. The shareholder may not provide special instructions or conditions in the voting form. If so, the vote is invalid.

To be able to vote in advance, shareholders must be entered in the shareholders’ register, kept by Euroclear Sweden AB (the Swedish Central Securities Depository & Clearing Organisation), on the record day which is 30 March 2021. Shareholders who have their shares nominee registered must, in order to be entitled to attend the meeting, have the shares registered in their own name, so that the holder is entered in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB as of the record day 30 March 2021. Such registration may be temporary (so-called voting rights registration). Shareholders who wishes to register the shares in their own name must, in accordance with the respective nominee's routines, request that the nominee make such voting rights registration. Voting rights registration which has been requested by shareholders and carried out by the relevant nominee no later than 1 April 2021 will be considered when presenting the share register. Personal data collected from the register of shareholders kept by Euroclear Sweden AB will be used for registration, preparation of register of voters for the meeting and, where applicable, minutes of the meeting.

The advance voting form gives shareholders the opportunity to vote for an agenda item to be raised at a future general meeting instead. In order for a resolution (item on the proposed agenda) to be postponed to a future general meeting, it is required that owners of at least one tenth of all shares in the Company request it. In such cases, the board of directors shall determine the date of the future general meeting, at which shareholders shall be allowed to participate in person and by proxy.

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