AB INDUSTRIVÄRDEN
Industrivärden's Annual General Meeting was held on May 6, 2015, at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, whereby the following resolutions were made, among other things.
-- The Annual General Meeting set the dividend at SEK 6.25 per share (5.50). The record date for payment of the dividend was set at May 8. Dividends are expected to be paid out via Euroclear Sweden AB on May 13.
-- Pär Boman, Christian Caspar, Nina Linander, Fredrik Lundberg and Annika Lundius were re-elected as directors on Industrivärden's board. Sverker Martin-Löf, Boel Flodgren, Stuart Graham and Anders Nyrén have declined re-election. Bengt Kjell and Lars Pettersson were elected as new board members. Fredrik Lundberg was elected as new Chairman of the Board.
-- The Annual General Meeting decided to elect PricewaterhouseCoopers AB to be accounting firm.
-- The Annual General Meeting voted in favour of the Board's proposal of a long-term share savings program for a combined maximum of 30 employees of the Industrivärden Group. The program covers a maximum of 150,000 Industrivärden Class C shares. The share savings program is a form of long-term variable salary and corresponds in its construction to the programs approved by the 2012-2014 Annual General Meetings. The program is part of an overall, market-based compensation package in which the employees receive matching shares after three years provided that they have invested a certain portion of their fixed salary in Industrivärden shares and are still employed at the time of the matching. The program aims to encourage equity ownership among Industrivärden's employees and thereby emphasize long-term shareholder value.
-- Proposals by the shareholder Thorwald Arvidsson was rejected by the Annual General Meeting.
