In order to reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus and to comply with regulations and general guidelines issued by the authorities, the EGM will, in accordance with temporary legislation, be held only by postal voting. Shareholders will not be able to physically attend the EGM in person or by proxy. Instead, Securitas welcomes shareholders to participate in the EGM by voting in advance as described below.

In order to participate in the proceedings of the EGM, owners with nominee-registered shares must in addition to giving notice of participation by submitting a postal vote, request their bank or broker to have their shares temporarily owner-registered with Euroclear Sweden AB. The share register for the EGM as of the record date Tuesday December 1, 2020, will take into account owner-registrations completed no later than Thursday December 3, 2020.

Postal voting

The Board has decided that shareholders shall be able to exercise their voting rights only by postal voting in accordance with section 22 of the Act (2020:198) on temporary exceptions to facilitate the execution of general meetings in companies and other associations.

A special form must be used for the postal vote. The form for postal voting is considered as the notification of participation at the EGM and is available on the company's website www.securitas.com/egm2020. Completed and signed forms can be sent (i) by mail to Securitas AB (publ), c/o Euroclear Sweden, Box 191, 101 23 Stockholm; or (ii) by email to GeneralMeetingServices@euroclear.eu.

Shareholders who are natural persons may also submit their votes through verification with BankID in accordance with instructions at Euroclear Sweden AB's website https://anmalan.vpc.se/euroclearproxy.

The postal vote (completed form/electronic vote) must be received by Euroclear no later than Tuesday December 8, 2020. The shareholder may not provide special instructions or conditions to the postal vote. If so, the entire postal vote is invalid. Further instructions and conditions can be found in the postal voting form and at https://anmalan.vpc.se/EuroclearProxy.

B.          Agenda

1.          Election of Chair of the Meeting.
2.          Preparation and approval of the voting list.
3.          Approval of the agenda.
4.          Election of one or two person(s) to approve the minutes.
5.          Determination of compliance with the Rules of Convocation.
6.          Resolution on dividend and record date.
7.          Resolution to amend the Articles of Association.
 

Item 1 - Election of Chair of the Meeting

The Board proposes that Marie Ehrling, Chair of the Board, is elected Chair of the EGM, or if she is unable to participate in the meeting, the person appointed by the Board.

Item 2 - Preparation and approval of the voting list

The voting list proposed to be approved is the voting list that has been prepared by Euroclear Sweden AB on behalf of the company, based on the share register for the EGM and postal votes received, approved by the persons elected to approve the minutes.

Item 4 - Election of one or two person(s) to approve the minutes

The Board proposes that Charlotte Kyller, representing Investment AB Latour, and Axel Mårtensson, representing Melker Schörling AB, or if one or both of them are unable to participate in the meeting, the person(s) appointed by the Board, to approve the minutes. The assignment to approve the minutes also include to approve the voting list and that the received postal votes are correctly reflected in the minutes of the meeting.

Item 6 - Proposal for dividend and record date

The Board proposes a dividend for the financial year 2019 of SEK 4.80 per share. As record date for the dividend, the Board proposes Friday December 11, 2020. If the EGM so resolves, the dividend is expected to be distributed by Euroclear Sweden AB starting Wednesday December 16, 2020.

According to the balance sheet adopted by the Annual General Meeting 2020, the company's unappropriated earnings amounted to SEK 21,538,818,685. The Annual General Meeting resolved to allocate the company's earnings so that SEK 21,538,818,685 was carried forward. The company's equity, according to the adopted balance sheet, would have been SEK 58,063,526 lower, if financial instruments, having been valued at fair value pursuant to Chapter 4, Section 14a of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, had instead been valued at the lower of cost or market.

At the disposal of the EGM is thereby a total amount of SEK 21,538,818,685 in unappropriated earnings before the decision on dividend. The amount available pursuant to Chapter 17, Section 3 of the Swedish Companies Act amount to SEK 21,538,818,685 before the proposed dividend, and will, if the EGM resolves in accordance with the proposal, amount to SEK 19,787,135,979. After distribution of the proposed dividend, Group contributions and a full utilization of the authorization to buy own shares resolved by the Annual General Meeting 2020, there will be full coverage for the company's restricted equity.
