To be entitled to participate in the meeting, in addition to providing notification of participation, a shareholder whose shares are held in the name of a nominee must register its shares in its own name so that the shareholder is recorded in the share register as of March 19, 2024. Such registration may be temporary (so-called voting right registration) and is requested from the nominee in accordance with the nominee's procedures and in such time in advance as the nominee determines. Voting right registrations completed by the nominee not later than March 21, 2024 are taken into account when preparing the share register.
Anyone wishing to attend the meeting physically or through a proxy must no later than Thursday, March 21, 2024, notify the Company in one of the following ways:
When notifying, shareholders must state their name, personal or registration number, shareholding, address and telephone number and, where applicable, the number of assistants (maximum two).
Anyone who does not wish to attend in person may exercise their right at the meeting by proxy with a written, signed and dated power of attorney. If the power of attorney has been issued by a legal entity, a copy of the registration certificate or equivalent authorization document for the legal entity must be attached.
To facilitate access to the meeting, proxies, registration certificates and other authorization documents should be received by the Company at the address Samhällsbyggnadsbolaget i Norden AB, "EGM", c/o Euroclear Sweden, P.O. Box 191, SE-101 23 Stockholm, Sweden, no later than Thursday, March 21, 2024.
Please note that notification of participation in the meeting must be made even if the shareholder wishes to exercise his or her voting rights at the meeting through a proxy. A submitted power of attorney does not apply as notification to the meeting.
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting pass a resolution on the implementation of a long-term incentive program 2024 ("LTIP 2024"). The proposal is divided into the following items.
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting resolve to carry out a private placement in respect of not more than 15,000,000 warrants of series 2024:1, entailing an increase in the share capital of not more than SEK 1,500,000 if the private placement is fully allocated.
1.1. The right to subscribe for the warrants, with derogation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, shall vest in the Company, with right and obligation to transfer the warrants to present and future employees in the Company or its subsidiaries in accordance with below. No oversubscription is allowed.
| Category | Number of Participants |
Maximum number of warrants per Participant |
Total number of Warrants |
|---|---|---|---|
| CEO Senior |
Max 1 Max 50 |
Max 3,000,000 Max 1,000,000 |
Max 3,000,000 Max 12,000,000 |
| executives and other key employees |
than three years at the time of transfer to new employees and/or in additional transfers to current employees. The reason for such transfers is that it is of great value for the Company that the interest of current employees in promoting the Company's development is strengthened and to quickly integrate new employees into the same incentive structure that applies to other employees, and to create a joint interest in promoting the Company's longterm development
The Company's earnings per share will not be affected by the issuance as the exercise price of the warrants exceeds the current market value of the share at the time of the issuance. The Company's future earnings per share may be affected by the potential dilution effect of the warrants if the Company reports a positive result and the exercise price is below the market value. The warrant program will also incur certain limited costs in the form of external advisor fees and administration costs regarding the warrant program
Based on the number of shares and votes outstanding in the Company, the LTIP 2024 implies, upon exercise of all 15,000,000 warrants, a full dilution corresponding to approximately 0.90 percent of the total number of shares and approximately 0.42 percent of the total number of votes outstanding in the Company.
The preliminary market value has, during February 2024, been established based on a calculated market value for the warrants, applying the Black & Scholes valuation model calculated by PwC.
The Company's share-related incentive programs are described on page 88 in the Company's annual report.
The General Meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to execute the resolution under item A 2 above. In addition, the Board of Directors, or a person appointed by the Board of Directors, shall be authorized to make minor adjustments to the resolutions above that may be necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
The Board of Directors wishes to implement an incentive program through which present and future employees shall be able to become long-term owners and participate in and work for a positive growth of value of the Company's share for the period that the program covers, and to ensure that the Company and its subsidiaries can keep and recruit qualified and motivated personnel.
The basis for the LTIP 2024 has been prepared by the Board of Directors of the Company. The work has been supported by external advisors and has been made in consultation with shareholders. The Board of Directors has thereafter decided to present this proposal for the General Meeting. Except for the staff that have prepared the matter upon instruction from the Board of Directors, no employee that may be a Participant of the program has participated in the preparations of the program's terms.
The resolution by the General Meeting regarding the implementation of the LTIP 2024 in accordance with the above requires that shareholders representing not less than nine-tenths of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the General Meeting approve the resolution.
The total amount of shares in the Company is 1,648,481,553, divided into 209,977,491 class A shares, 1,244,638,157 class B shares and 193,865,905 class D shares. Class A shares carry one vote while class B shares and class D shares carry 1/10 vote. The total number of votes in the Company is 353,827,897.2. This information pertains to the circumstances as per the time of issue of this notice. The Company does not hold any own shares.
The annual report and the auditor's report, the Board of Directors' report pursuant to Chapter 14, section 8 and the auditor's statement as well as other necessary documents will be available at the Company's website, www.sbbnorden.se no later than March 6, 2024.

The shareholders are reminded of the right to, at the General Meeting, ask questions to the Board of Directors and the CEO in accordance with Chapter 7, section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act.
