Following the notice on September 21, 2021 to convene for an extraordinary general meeting in the Company on October 6, 2021, shareholders representing more than 5% of the share capital have requested an additional extraordinary general meeting to be held in order to propose that the Board of Directors receive an authorization to establish a Share-Buyback program.
The Board of Directors has not at present assessed whether it wants to make use of such an authorization should it be approved by the general meeting.
However, as a result of the request and for due consideration purposes, it was the decision of the Board of Directors to cancel and postpone the contemplated extraordinary general meeting. This was announced October 4, 2021.
It was the intention to convene a new notice of an extraordinary general meeting within October 11, 2021 (14 days of the request) in accordance with section 5.7 in the Articles of Association of the Company. However, the proposal for a Share-buyback program received from these shareholders was not legally acceptable. Thus, the Company is still in dialogue with the group of shareholders that have requested an additional extraordinary general meeting on the final design of a proposal for the Board of Directors to receive an authorization to establish a Share-Buyback program.
A new notice of an extraordinary general meeting will be convened when there is a final and legally acceptable proposal from a group of shareholders representing more than 5% of the share capital.
