The Board of Directors' complete proposal and the auditor's statement concerning the proposed decision in accordance with Item 6 will be available at the Company’s office at Södra Tullgatan 3, Malmö, Sweden, as of Monday, January 12, 2009, mailed at the same time to shareholders who so request and provide their mailing address, and appear on www.partnertech.com. The documents will also be presented at the meeting.
Item 2, Election of the chairman of the meeting
The Company's nominating committee has submitted the following proposed decision with respect to Item 2:
Örian Odenbro, Attorney, is proposed as chairman of the meeting.
Item 6, Decision concerning divestment of a subsidiary
For reasons of efficiency and cost reduction, the Board of Directors of PartnerTech AB (publ) (corporate identity no. 556251-3308) proposes that the meeting approve divestment by PartnerTech AB's British subsidiary PartnerTech Limited of all shares in its wholly owned subsidiary PartnerTech Poole Limited (”Poole”) to the current management of Poole, through a Company. The purchase price corresponds to the net worth of Poole, which is an estimated GBP 377,013 at the time of transfer. Poole manufactures printed circuit boards assembly under contract for local customers. Because printed circuit boards assembly for the PartnerTech group's other customers are manufactured exclusively at other PartnerTech units, Poole lacks strategic importance. Poole currently accounts for approximately 3% of the PartnerTech group's total sales. Poole is presently operating at a loss.
The divestment of Poole is insignificant pursuant to the regulations of the OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm but is covered by Chapter 16 of the Companies Act (the earlier so called “Leo-lagen”). Thus, any valid decision must be approved by shareholders with at least nine-tenths of the votes and shares represented at the meeting.
Disclosure about the number of shares and votes
The Company's shareholders have a total of 12,664,982 shares and votes.
