The safety of visitors at AAK’s Annual General Meetings is always a top priority. Due to the coronavirus and covid-19, AAK has decided to take the following special measures at the Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2020:

  • No bus transport to and from the Annual General Meeting will be arranged.
  • The exhibition area will be closed, and no samples will be offered.
  • No meals will be served.
  • No gift bags will be handed out.
  • The participation of senior executives and board members will be limited.
  • Presentations will be shortened or canceled. Furthermore, issues at the Annual General Meeting will be focused on the agenda’s decision points. For any general questions, shareholders are welcome to send these in advance to investor@aak.com.
  • Voting by mail is offered with the support of the new exception law for Annual General Meetings (see below).

Participation and registration

Shareholders who wish to attend the Annual General Meeting must be recorded in the Shareholders’ Register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB on Thursday, May 7, 2020, and must also notify the company of their intention to attend the Annual General Meeting not later than Thursday, May 7, 2020.

In order to participate at the Annual General Meeting, shareholders with nominee-registered shares must request their bank or broker to have the shares temporarily owner-registered with Euroclear Sweden AB. Such re-registration must be executed no later than Thursday, May 7, 2020. The shareholders must therefore notify the nominee of their request to have the shares re-registered in due time before Thursday, May 7, 2020.

Note that the registration for the Annual General Meeting 2020 is now closed. 

Participation by proxy

Due to the risk of infection and the regulations of the authorities, we urge shareholders to carefully consider the possibility of attending via a representative instead of physically attending the Annual General Meeting. Download proxy >>.

AAK has been informed that Euroclear Sweden offers private shareholders who do not wish to be physically present at the Annual General Meeting to submit a proxy and voting instructions to representatives from Euroclear Sweden. All private individuals who report attendance to the Annual General Meeting will be contacted by Euroclear Sweden with instructions on how to proceed with this option.

Euroclear Sweden does not act on behalf of AAK and does not provide services to AAK in this regard, but we welcome this initiative and believe that under current circumstances it is a good alternative to being physically present.

Voting by mail

Due to a temporary change of the law, the Board of AAK AB has resolved that shareholders in AAK AB shall be able to exercise its voting rights at the Annual General Meeting 2020 by mail. The intention is to minimize the number of people gathered at the location of the Annual General Meeting, as a part of the effort to minimize the risk of spreading the coronavirus and covid-19. AAK encourages all shareholders to exercise the possibility to advance voting. The postal voting form is available here >>. The postal voting form may also be sent by mail to shareholders upon request, provided they provide their postal address. Note that the completed postal voting forms must be received by the company not later than May 7, 2020.

Request for addressing of matters
