Join the Forefront of Biopharmaceutical Progress at Medivir AB's AGM
STOCKHOLM, April 4, 2024 – Medivir AB, the renowned biopharmaceutical company based in Huddinge, Stockholm, is cordially inviting its shareholders to attend the forthcoming annual general assembly. This significant convergence is scheduled to take place on May 7, 2024, at 14.00 CEST, within the confines of Helio GT30 located at Grev Turegatan 30, Stockholm, Sweden.
Shareholders willing to be a part of the annual general meeting have the flexibility to either physically attend the event or partake by practising advance postal voting. These measures are in place to accommodate all shareholders, ensuring they can exercise their democratic rights irrespective of their location or circumstances.
To partake in-person at the meeting, a shareholder must firstly be recorded in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB as of April 26, 2024. Secondly, notification of the intention to attend must reach Medivir AB no later than April 30, 2024. The notification can be submitted by post addressed to Medivir AB, "Annual general meeting," c/o Euroclear Sweden AB, Box 191, SE-101 23 Stockholm, or by calling +46 (0)8 402 92 37. Additionally, notifications can be submitted through the company's website at www.medivir.com.
It is essential for the shareholder to furnish details including name, residential address, contact number for the day, alongside the personal or corporate identity number. Also, the number of shares held by the shareholder must be provided as well as any information relating to representatives or assistants, if applicable.
For shareholders opting to be represented by a proxy, the company stipulates the submission of a written, dated proxy form. If the right to vote is split among different representatives, each representative must be listed along with the number of shares they are authorised to vote for. Proxy forms are accessible on the company's official website at www.medivir.com. Furthermore, if the proxy is to be exercised by a legal entity, certification of registration or other forms of authorisation should accompany the proxy form. To enable a smooth registration process at the meeting, the completed proxy form accompanied by the certificate of registration or equivalent should be received by the company no later than May 6, 2024.
Shareholders preferring to participate by casting an advance vote must adhere to the participation requirements, as delineated above. Moreover, the shareholder should convey their intention to attend no later than April 30, 2024, by submitting the advance vote so that it is received by Euroclear Sweden AB on the same day. Notably, a specialized form must be used, which can be procured from the company's webpage at www.medivir.com. This completed form can be routed to the company via email to [email protected] or by traditional postal means. Furthermore, shareholders may choose to cast their advance vote electronically through BankID verification via Euroclear Sweden AB's webpage located at Euroclear Proxy.
It is salient to note that specific instructions or conditions should not be stipulated in the voting form as it would render the vote invalid entirety. The advance voting form also contains additional instructions and conditions.
Should a shareholder opt for proxy voting, the same protocol for an in-person representation is applicable. Should an advance voter decide to attend the meeting in person or through a proxy, the advance vote will hold its relevance unless voting occurs at the event or the advance vote is expressly withdrawn.
For any inquiries or to request a postal delivery of the advance voting form, shareholders are encouraged to contact Euroclear Sweden AB on telephone +46 (0)8 402 92 37 during business hours.
Shareholders with nominee-registered shares must, in addition to notifying the company of their participation, have their shares re-registered in their name to be eligible for the general meeting. This re-registration may be temporary and is known as 'voting right registration.' This process requires communication with the nominee according to their procedures and within the time frame specified by the nominee. The deadline for the nominee to complete voting right registration is no later than April 30, 2024.
The shareholders reserve the right to request information from the board of directors and the managing director during the general meeting, in accordance with Chapter 7, Section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen).
At the time of issuing this notice, the company possesses 112,053,218 ordinary shares, each carrying one vote. However, Medivir AB currently holds 11,413 own ordinary shares and 864,750 own class C shares, which do not entitle to vote.
The agenda for the annual general meeting is extensive and meticulously planned. It includes:
The nominations for re-election include Uli Hacksell, Lennart Hansson, Bengt Westermark, and Yilmaz Mahshid, while Angelica Loskog and Anna Törner are proposed for new election.
