The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is Gunnebo’s ultimate decision-making body. The AGM selects the Board and auditors, adopts the accounts, decides on any dividend and other appropriation of earnings, and decides on discharge from liability for the Board. In addition, the AGM also decides on any new share issues and the introduction of share-related incentive schemes in the form of stock option programs.
The AGM must be held within six months of the close of the financial year. All shareholders in the register of shareholders on the record day (five calendar days before the AGM) who have registered to attend are entitled to take part in the Annual General Meeting. Each share entitles the shareholder to one vote. The notice to attend the AGM must be issued between six and four weeks in advance through advertisements in the Göteborgs-Posten and Svenska Dagbladet newspapers and Post- och Inrikes Tidningar (the Swedish Official Gazette).
