Shares registered in the name of a custodian
In order to be entitled to participate in the meeting, a shareholder who has had his shares registered in the name of a custodian through a bank or through another authorised depositary must, in addition to registering for the meeting, have the shares registered in his own name so that the shareholder will be included in the share register on 24 March 2025. Such re-registration may be temporary (so-called voting rights registration) and is requested from the custodian according to the custodian's routines at such time in advance as the custodian decides. Registration of voting rights made by the custodian no later than 26 March 2025 will be taken into account in the production of the share register. This also applies to shareholders who have their shares in custody in SEB.
