The Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders resolve to change the registered name of the Company from B&B TOOLS Aktiebolag to Bergman & Beving Aktiebolag through an amendment to Article 1, first sentence of the Company's Articles of Association. The change was prompted by the split of the B&B TOOLS Group into two separate listed companies through the spin-off and separate listing of the operating segment Momentum Group AB (publ).
For a resolution in accordance with this proposal to be valid, it must be supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the General Meeting of Shareholders.
The Election Committee proposes that Chairman of the Board Anders Börjesson be elected Chairman of the Meeting.
The Company has issued a total of 28,463,416 shares, of which 1,063,780 are Class A shares and 27,372,636 are Class B shares, of which 171,000 are held in treasury by the Company. After deducting the shares held by the Company, the total number of votes in the Company amounts to 37,839,436. The above information pertains to the conditions at the time this notice was issued.
According to Chapter 7, Section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act, upon request from a shareholder and provided the Board determines that it is possible to do so without causing material damage to the Company, the Board and the CEO are required to provide information about any circumstances that could impact the manner in which an item on the agenda is addressed.
The complete proposal of the Board of Directors in accordance Item 7 will be available at the Company not later than Wednesday, 31 May 2017 and will be sent to shareholders who so request and who provide their postal address.
