Report this content

The shareholders of Qlife Holding AB, Reg. No. 559224-8040, are hereby invited to attend the annual shareholders’ meeting to be held on Wednesday 20 May 2020, at 1.00 p.m. at the company’s premises at Hamntorget 3 in Helsingborg.

Information regarding the coronavirus

As a precautionary measure to reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus, the board of directors of Qlife Holding AB (”Qlife”) has decided to keep planned speeches at the annual shareholders’ meeting to a minimum and that no refreshments will be served. Participation at the annual shareholders’ meeting by members of the board of directors and management as well as the number of non-shareholders present at the annual shareholders’ meeting will be limited in an effort to keep the annual shareholders’ meeting brief and efficient, and thereby minimizing the risk of spreading the coronavirus. For shareholders who are worried about the spread of infection due to the coronavirus, we want to emphasize the possibility of not attending in person at Qlife’s annual shareholders’ meeting and instead appoint a proxy who can vote on their behalf. Qlife also encourages such solution for anyone displaying symptoms of illness, who has been in an area of infection, or who is considered to be part of a risk group. Shareholders who want to authorize a proxy can find relevant documents at the company website (www.qlifeholding.com).

Right to participate and notification

Shareholders wishing to participate in the annual shareholders’ meeting must:

  • partly be listed in the company’s share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB as of Thursday 14 May 2020;
  • partly have given a notice of their intention to participate to the company no later than on Thursday 14 May 2020, by mail to Qlife Holding AB, Årsstämma, Hamntorget 3, SE-252 21 Helsingborg, Sweden, by e-mail to info@egoo.health or by telephone to +46 (0)73-517 85 25. The notification should specify the shareholder’s complete name, personal identity number or company registration number, the number of shares held by the shareholder, address, telephone number during work hours and, when applicable, information on the number of advisors (2 at the most).

Trustee registered shares

Shareholders who have their holdings nominee-registered, through bank or other nominee, must, to be entitled to attend the annual shareholders’ meeting, temporarily register the shares in their own name at Euroclear Sweden AB. Such temporary re-registration of ownership must be implemented no later than Thursday 14 May 2020. Accordingly, shareholders must inform their nominees or banks of their wish of re-registration well in advance before this date.

Proxy etc.

In case the shareholder should be represented by a proxy, the proxy must bring a written power of attorney, which is dated and duly signed by the shareholder, to the annual shareholders’ meeting. The validity term of the power of attorney may not be more than one year, unless a longer validity term is specifically stated in the power of attorney (however at the longest five years). If the power of attorney is issued by a legal entity, the representing proxy must also present an up-to-date registration certificate or equivalent document for the legal entity. In order to facilitate the entrance at the meeting, a copy of the power of attorney and other authorization documents should preferably be attached to the shareholder’s notification to participate in the annual shareholders’ meeting. A template power of attorney is available at the company website (www.qlifeholding.com), and will be sent to shareholders who request it and state their address.

The Proposers propose that four ordinary board members should be elected for the period until the end of the next annual shareholders’ meeting. The board of directors proposes that two auditors without deputy auditors should be elected for the period until the end of the next annual shareholders’ meeting.

The Proposers propose that remuneration to the board of directors shall be paid with SEK 200,400 to the chairman of the board of directors and with SEK 66,800 to each of the other board members that are not employed by the company. The board of directors proposes that remuneration to the auditor shall be paid in accordance with customary norms and approved invoice.

The Proposers propose that Mette Gross, John Moll, Niklas Marschall and Thomas Warthoe are re-elected as ordinary board members. Finally, it is proposed to re-elect Mette Gross as chairman of the board of directors.

The board of directors proposes that Olof Andersson and Jörgen Lövgren are re-elected as the company’s auditors.

Item 11: Resolution on instruction and charter for the Nomination Committee

The board of directors proposes that the annual shareholders’ meeting resolves to appoint a Nomination Committee before coming election and remuneration and that an instruction and charter shall be adopted in accordance with the following substantial terms.

The Nomination Committee shall comprise four members, one representative for each of the three largest shareholders on the last banking day in September who wish to appoint a member and the Chairman of the board. The three largest shareholders in these instructions are the ownership grouped registered shareholders or in another way known shareholders as per the last banking day in September.

As soon as possible after the details of the largest shareholders on the final banking day in September are known, the Chairman of the board shall contact the three largest shareholders to find out whether they wish to appoint members of the Nomination Committee. If one or more of the three largest shareholders declines to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee, the Chairman of the board shall offer other major shareholders the opportunity to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee. If such an offer is made, it should be made to the largest shareholders in order (i.e. first to the fourth largest shareholder, then the fifth largest shareholder, and so on). This procedure shall continue until the Nomination Committee comprises four members including the Chairman of the board.

At its first meeting, the Nomination Committee shall appoint a Chairman among its members.

Information regarding the appointed Nomination Committee shall include the names of the three appointed members, together with the names of the shareholders who have appointed the members, and the information shall be announced no later than six months before the proposed annual shareholders’ meeting.

The Nomination Committee’s term shall run until such time as a new Nomination Committee has been elected.

If there is a change in ownership among the largest shareholders and a shareholder not previously entitled to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee thereby becomes a larger shareholder than one or more of the shareholders who have already appointed a Nomination Committee member, (“a new major owner”), the Nomination Committee shall, if the new major owner makes a request to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee, decide that the Nomination Committee member who represents the smallest shareholding after the shift should be dismissed and replaced by the member appointed by the new major owner. Should a new major owner wish to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee, the new major owner should notify the Chairman of the Nomination Committee. The notification should contain the name of the person the new major owner appoints as a member of the Nomination Committee. Notwithstanding what has been stated in the foregoing, unless special reasons exists, no changes of the composition of the Nomination Committee shall be made if only marginal changes in voting power has occurred or if the change occurs later than two months before the annual shareholders’ meeting.

If a member who represents a shareholder in the Nomination Committee should leave its assignment prematurely, the Nomination Committee shall without delay request that the shareholder who appointed the member appoint a new member. If no new member is appointed by the shareholder, the Nomination Committee shall offer other major shareholders the opportunity to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee. Such an offer shall be made to the largest shareholders in order (i.e. first to the largest shareholder who has not already appointed a member of the Nomination Committee or who has previously foregone that right, and then to the next largest shareholder who has not already appointed a member of the Nomination Committee or who has previously foregone that right, and so on). This procedure shall continue until the Nomination Committee is complete.

The Nomination Committee’s main responsibility is to submit proposals regarding election of Chairman at the annual shareholders’ meeting, election of and remuneration for the members of the board, election of and remuneration for the auditor, as well as principles for the appointment of the Nomination Committee and instructions for the Nomination Committee.

These principles for the Nomination Committee's appointment and instructions for the Nomination Committee shall be valid until further notice until a resolution on amendment is passed by a shareholders’ meeting.

The board of directors proposes that the annual shareholders’ meeting resolves to amend the company’s Articles of Association as follows:
