To be able to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting, the shareholders whose shares are registered in the name of a nominee must have such shares temporarily registered in their own names, in the shareholders' register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB. This procedure, so-called voting rights registration, must have effect on Friday 8 May 2020 and should be requested from the nominee well in advance of this date.

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.
