The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting re-establish and replace the unutilised authorisation resolved by the Annual General Meeting in 2022 and thus authorise the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions during the period up to the next Annual General Meeting, resolve on issue of a maximum of 38,230,407 new shares, corresponding to 10 per cent of the company’s total number of shares. The share issue may be with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, by payment in cash, by contribution in kind or by set-off.

The purpose of the authorisation and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right is to pursue the company's acquisition strategy by enabling acquisitions by payment in Beijer Ref shares (contribution in kind) or flexibility in the financing of acquisitions. The share issue price shall be determined in accordance with market conditions, which may include customary discounts. Other terms may be resolved by the Board of Directors.

 

The Board of Directors, or anyone appointed by the Board of Directors, shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments of the resolution that may be necessary in connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

 

The proposal is subject to the support of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
