Voting rights registrations that have been made by the nominee no later than May 7, 2024 will be taken into account in the presentation of the share register.

The Nomination committee proposes the following.
Chairman of the meeting: The Nomination Committee proposes Hans Eckerström as Chairman of the Annual General Meeting.
Board of Directors: The Board shall consist of six members, elected by the general meeting, with no deputies. The Nomination Committee proposes that Magnus Brännström, Hans Eckerström, Pernilla Ekman, Anders Hedebark, Helena Holmgren and Helene Willberg shall be re-elected as Board members. Hans Eckerström is proposed to be re-elected as Chairman of the Board.
Fees to the Board of Directors: The Nomination Committee proposes that the fees to the Board shall amount to SEK 600,000 (500,000) to the Chairman of the Board and SEK 300,000 (250,000) to each of the other Board members who is not employed by the Company. Furthermore, it is proposed that an additional fee for committee work shall be paid with SEK 180,000 (130,000) to the Chairman of the Audit Committee and SEK 90,000 (75,000) to each of the other members of the Audit Committee and SEK 60,000 (50,000) to members of the Remuneration Committee.
Auditor and Auditor's fee: The registered accounting firm Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers AB ("PwC") is proposed to be re-elected as auditor, in accordance with the recommendation from the Audit Committee, for the period until the end of the 2025 Annual General Meeting. PwC has informed that, in the event that the accounting firm is elected as auditor, Aleksander Lyckow will be auditor in charge. The Nomination Committee proposes that the auditor's fee is to be paid according to approved invoice.

The Board of Directors proposes a cash dividend for the financial year 2023 of SEK 3.75 per share. The record date for the cash dividend is proposed to be May 16, 2024. Provided that the Annual General Meeting resolves in accordance with this proposal, payment of the dividend through Euroclear Sweden AB is estimated to be made on May 21, 2024.
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorize the Board of Directors to, on one or several occasions up until the next Annual General Meeting, resolve on new issue of shares. Such issue may entail a deviation from the shareholders´ preferential right to subscribe for new shares and entail that payment for the new shares may be made in cash or by consideration in kind or by right of set-off. The number of shares to be issued by virtue of the authorization shall not exceed 10 % of the registered share capital (as per the date of the resolution on the issue of new shares). The Board of Directors shall be entitled to establish remaining conditions of the issue, including the issue price. The issue price shall be determined in accordance with market practice.
The purpose of the authorization is to increase the financial flexibility of the Company. Upon deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the reason may be, by way of issue of payment in cash, in kind or through set-off, to enable acquisitions by way of payment by own shares, to strengthen the Company's capital base in connection with company acquisitions or other strategic investments or other investments, to obtain capital contributions from current owners and/or new owners, which are considered strategically important from an operational, financial, structural or other perspective, and/or to give the Board of Directors increased freedom of action in its work on the Company's capital structure.
Under the Swedish Companies Act, the resolution of the general meeting on authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve on new issue of shares requires the support of shareholders representing at least twothirds of both the number of votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting in order to be valid.
The Nomination Committee's proposal and reasoned statement and the proxy form are available at the Company and on the Company's website https://investors.profoto.com/en/general-meeting/.
The financial statements, the Audit Report and other documents that are to be kept available for the shareholders according to the Swedish Companies Act will be available at the Company and on the Company's website https://investors.profoto.com/en/general-meeting/, no later than three weeks before the Annual General Meeting.
The documents will be sent free of charge to shareholders who so request and state their address.
At the time of this notice the total number of shares and votes in the Company amounts to 40 000 000. The Company has no own shares.
Shareholders' right to request information

The Board of Directors and the CEO shall, if any shareholder so requests, and the Board of Directors considers that this can be done without significant harm for the Company, at the meeting provide information on circumstances that may affect the assessment of an item on the agenda, circumstances that may affect the assessment of the Company's or its subsidiaries' financial situation and the Company's relation to other companies within the group.
