About AGM

Rights of shareholders

Shareholders exercise their right to decide on matters concerning the company at General Meetings of shareholders.

Annual General Meeting of shareholders shall be held within six months after the end of the financial year.

A shareholder may attend and vote at the meeting in person or by proxy. Any shareholder wishing to attend a General Meeting must notify SKF at the latest by the day specified in the notice of the General Meeting. Nominee-registered shareholders who wish to vote must request to be entered into the share register by the record date for the General Meeting.

The Board of Directors may resolve that the shareholders shall be able to exercise their voting rights by post before the General Meeting and may collect proxies in accordance with the provisions of the Swedish Companies Act. In connection with the issuance of the notice convening the General Meeting, information is provided regarding the forms of the General Meeting as well as the time and manner for notification to participate in the General Meeting.

A shareholder who wishes to have a matter considered at a General Meeting must make a written request to the Board of Directors in this regard. Such a request must be received by SKF at least seven weeks in advance, or sufficiently early for the item to be included in the notice to attend. As regards proposals for resolutions that have already been included on the agenda, where it is not legally required that proposals must be presented a certain period in advance, shareholders are entitled to present such proposals during the period up until the General Meeting is held (including during the meeting).

The agenda for the General Meeting specifies which items are being put forward for a resolution by the meeting, and which items have been included for information purposes. The items on the agenda that require a resolution by the General Meeting are subjected to binding votes, whereby shareholders vote in favor or against, or abstain from voting on the matter. In addition, at a General Meeting, all shareholders are entitled to put questions to the Board of Directors or the President regarding the items being considered at the General Meeting or the company’s relations with other companies in the Group. At an Annual General Meeting, shareholders may also put questions regarding the company’s and the Group’s financial situation.
