General meetings

The annual general meeting must be held within six months from the end of each financial year. In addition to the annual general meeting, additional general meetings may be held when needed. Mips’ general meetings may be held in Stockholm, where company’s registered office is situated, or in Täby.  Notices convening the annual general meeting and those extraordinary general meetings at which amendments to the articles of association are to be addressed must be issued no earlier than six weeks and no later than four weeks prior to the meeting. Notices convening other extraordinary general meetings must be issued no earlier than six weeks and no later than three weeks prior to the meeting. Notice must be given through an announcement in the Swedish Official Gazette (Sw. Post- och Inrikes Tidningar) and on the Mips’ website www.mipscorp.com. Simultaneously therewith, the fact that notice has been issued must be announced in Svenska Dagbladet.

Shareholders who are directly recorded in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden six banking days prior to the general meeting and who have notified the company of their intention to participate in the general meeting not later than the date indicated in the notice of the general meeting, are entitled to attend the general meeting and vote for the number of shares they hold.

Shareholders whose shares are nominee registered through a bank or other nominee must request that their shares are temporarily registered in their own names in the register of shareholders maintained by Euroclear Sweden, in order to be entitled to participate in the general meeting. Shareholders should inform their nominees well in advance of the record date.

Shareholders may attend the general meeting in person or by proxy, and may be accompanied by a maximum of two assistants.

Shareholders who wish to have an issue brought before the general meeting must submit a request in writing to the Board of Directors. The request must normally be received by the Board of Directors not later than seven weeks prior to the general meeting.
