Annual General Meeting 2017

Ratos’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on 6 April 2017 at Skandiascenen, Cirkus, in Stockholm.

The AGM adopted the parent company and consolidated balance sheets and income statements for the 2016 financial year. The AGM granted the board members and Presidents discharge from liability for the 2016 financial year.

Jonas Wiström was re-elected as Chairman of the Board. A more detailed presentation of the Board is available at www.ratos.se. The AGM decided that the compensation to the Board Directors and to the Committees would be unchanged, in accordance with the Nomination Committee’s proposal.

 

The AGM re-elected PricewaterhouseCoopers AB as auditors for the period until the next annual general meeting has been held.

The AGM resolved on an ordinary dividend of SEK 2.00 per Class A and Class B share. The record date for the right to receive dividends was scheduled as 10 April 2017 and dividends are expected to be paid on 13 April 2017.

The AGM resolved to issue a maximum of 800,000 call options on Ratos Class B treasury shares to be transferred for a market premium to key people within Ratos.
