Annual General Meeting in Betsson AB (publ)

The following resolutions were approved at the Annual General Meeting of Betsson AB (publ) on 3 June 2010:

  • Per Hamberg, Patrick Svensk, Kicki Wallje-Lund, John Wattin, Carl Lewenhaupt and Lars Linder Aronson were re-elected as board members. The Annual General Meeting decided to appoint John Wattin as chairman of the board.
  • The General Meeting decided to adopt the annual report and discharge the Board and the Managing Director from liability for the financial year 2009.
  • The General meeting decided on a share split and automatic share redemption programme. The redemption programme means that approximately SEK 353 millions, corresponding to SEK 9.00 per share will be distributed to the shareholders. The following resolutions were approved regarding the share split and the redemption of shares:
  • − Decision to execute a share split 2:1, whereby each share is divided into two shares. One of these shares will be a so called redemption share.
  • − Decision to reduce the share capital by automatic redemption of shares, whereby 5,420,000 Class A shares and 34,133,720 Class B shares are redeemed.
  • − Decision to increase the share capital by way of a bonus issue, whereby the Company's share capital is restored to its original amount before the decision on reduction of the share capital.

The record date for the share split is 11 June 2010. Trading in the redemption shares of Class B will take place from 15 June 2010 up to and including 29 June 2010. The record date for the share redemption is 2 July 2010. Payment is expected to take place via Euroclear Sweden AB around 7 July 2010.

  • The Annual General Meeting resolved in accordance with the Board's proposal to authorise the Board to resolve on purchasing, at one or several occasions, so many own shares that the Company's holding does not at any time exceed 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the Company. The purchase of shares shall take place on a regulated market, where shares in the Company are listed, and may only occur at a price within the share price interval registered at that time, where the share price interval means the difference between the highest buying price and lowest selling price, or through a public offer to all shareholders, whereby the purchase price shall be set at not lower than the share price at the time when the decision is taken and not higher than 150 per cent of the such share price. Furthermore, the General Meeting resolved to authorise the Board to pass resolutions on transferring the Company's own shares as payment in connection with an acquisition of companies or businesses, at market price at that time.
  • The General Meeting resolved in accordance with the Board's proposal to authorise the Board to, at one or more occasions, during the time until the next Annual General Meeting, resolve on the issuance of shares of not more than 4 million Class B shares
