Practical guidance on Pihlajalinna Plc’s Annual General Meeting due to coronavirus, change of meeting venue
Pihlajalinna Plc is taking precautions in order to organise its Annual General Meeting, to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, 15 April 2020, in compliance with the orders issued by the authorities in response to the coronavirus epidemic. The meeting venue has been changed.
The venue of the Annual General Meeting has been changed, and the new venue is H. Liljeroos Oy’s meeting room Villa Vintti 1 at Kehräsaari A, 3rd floor, 33200 Tampere. Pihlajalinna Plc will determine the number of participants at the AGM in advance. The reception of participants who have registered for the meeting and the distribution of ballots will commence at 10:00 a.m. at the meeting venue. There will be no coffee service at the event.
The company urges shareholders to avoid attending the AGM at the AGM venue, and recommends that shareholders use the advance voting option and watch the AGM remotely instead. Due to the coronavirus epidemic, the AGM can only be held if the number of participants at the meeting venue is so low that the meeting can be held in compliance with the stipulations issued by authorities.
Shareholders entered in the company’s shareholders’ register on the AGM’s record date of 1 April 2020 may watch the AGM via a live video webcast. Shareholders are instructed to request a personal link to remotely watch the live webcast of the AGM by 10:00 p.m. on 14 April 2020. To register for the webcast, please visit: https://ir.innovatics.fi/ir/fi/pihlajalinna/Agm/Registration/2020_1/Accept
The use of online banking credentials or Mobile ID is required when requesting a link for the webcast of the AGM. Holders of nominee-registered shares cannot request a link for the webcast.
Shareholders who watch the webcast remotely are not considered to be participants in the AGM. The remote link cannot be used to make statements, ask questions or vote in the AGM.
Advance questions may be submitted when placing an order for the webcast link until 11:00 p.m. on Sunday, 12 April 2020. Due to the exceptional AGM arrangements, it cannot be guaranteed that all advance questions will be answered.
To exercise their voting rights, shareholders who have a Finnish book-entry account can vote in advance on certain items on the AGM’s agenda via the company’s website from 17 March 2020 to 10:00 a.m. on 6 April 2020.
To ensure that the necessary decisions can be made at the AGM, Pihlajalinna has received a notification from its largest shareholders indicating that they are in favour of the proposals presented in the Notice of the Annual General Meeting.
