General Meetings

The AGM is the Hoist Finance highest decision-making body. All shareholders have an opportunity at the AGM to influence the company by exercising their voting rights. The Swedish Companies Act and Hoist Finance’s Articles of Association include rules that govern the AGM and its agenda.

Heading

Hoist Finance’s financial year runs from 1 January to 31 December. Pursuant to the Swedish Companies Act, notice must be given no more than six weeks and no fewer than four weeks prior to the AGM. The AGM resolves on adoption of the year’s balancesheet and income statement, dividends, election of Board members and auditors, fees to Board members and auditors, and other items of business as prescribed by the Swedish Companies Act and the Articles of Association. All shareholders listed in the shareholders’ register on the day prior to the AGM who have provided timely notification of their participation are entitled to participate at the AGM, either in person or by proxy. Every shareholder is entitled to request that a matter be addressed by the AGM.

A shareholder who wishes to do so must submit a written request to the Board no later than one week before the earliest date on which notice of the meeting may be published (i.e. the request must be received no later than seven weeks prior to the AGM). Pursuant to Chapter 7 § 32 of the Swedish Companies Act, all shareholders are entitled to ask the Board of Directors and CEO questions about matters addressed during the AGM and about the financial situation of the company and the Group.

Precautionary measures in relation to Covid-19

With the purpose to minimize the risk of spreading the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, the Swedish Parliament has adopted a new law including temporary provisions that extend the possibilities of proxy collection and postal voting at general meetings. The law entails, in short, that the company's Board may resolve that shareholders who choose not to attend the meeting in person, may exercise their voting rights at the meeting either by giving a person appointed by the company a proxy or by postal voting. The new law will come into force on 15 April 2020. The company intends to provide the possibility to collect proxies and/or vote by post and further information on this will be made public through a press release and later be available on the company website.

Hoist Finance advises shareholders, in particular shareholders belonging to a risk group, to not attend the Annual General Meeting in person.

The company has also taken the following precautionary measures:

  • The Annual General Meeting will be as short and concise as possible
  • The presentation by the CEO will be held separately and be made available on the company’s website
  • The participation of the Board members and the executive management team will be minimised
  • No coffee or refreshments will be served
  • Shareholders are encouraged to submit potential questions as far ahead of the Annual General Meeting as possible to:

    Hoist Finance AB (publ)
    Annual General Meeting
    Box 7848
    103 99 Stockholm
    Sweden
    or arsstamma@hoistfinance.com

    Hoist Finance monitors the development of the coronavirus and the authorities’ recommendations and may update the measures described above.
