Special measures due to the coronavirus
In view of the spread of the virus that causes covid-19, Karolinska Development has taken a number of precautionary measures ahead of the Annual General Meeting to safeguard shareholders’ health and limit the risk of infection. In light of the above, the company has decided to take, among other things, the following precautionary measures in connection with the Annual General Meeting.
- Postal voting is offered with the support of the new temporary exemption law for general meetings.
- No refreshments or drinks will be served.
- Customary speeches will be kept to a minimum.
Shareholders are encouraged to follow the authorities’ recommendations and take responsibility for preventing the spread of infection, and to make use of the opportunity to vote by post or participate by proxy instead of attending in person. Shareholders who belong to a risk group should not attend the Annual General Meeting.
Postal voting
To enable shareholders to participate and exercise influence to the greatest extent possible, on 3 April 2020 the Swedish Parliament decided to introduce a temporary law allowing shareholders to exercise their voting rights at the meeting by postal voting, even if this is not stated in the articles of association or the notice. Karolinska Development has decided that shareholders will be able to exercise their voting rights in this way. The company wishes to enable shareholders to vote by post in order to minimise the number of participants attending the meeting in person and thereby help reduce the risk of spreading the virus that causes covid-19.
The postal voting form can be found below. The completed and signed form, together with, where applicable, relevant authorisation documents, must be sent to the company well in advance of the Annual General Meeting by post to Karolinska Development, attn: Annual General Meeting, Tomtebodavägen 23 A, 171 65 Solna, or by email to eva.montgomerie@karolinskadevelopment.com. Postal votes must be received no later than 9 June 2020.
Please note that, where applicable, re-registration of nominee-registered shares must take place (in the manner prescribed in the notice) even if the shareholder intends to exercise their voting rights by postal voting.
