Proposal for the agenda at the Extraordinary General Meeting:
The Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting elects the attorney Johan Ljungberg at Mannheimer Swartling Advokatbyrå as Chairman of the meeting.
At the Annual General Meeting held on 9 April, 2015, it was resolved that no dividend should be paid for the fiscal year 2014 and to carry forward into new accounts the funds available at the Annual General Meeting's disposal amounting to SEK 1,993,866,687.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the company's financial state and market prospects now allow a dividend to the shareholders. Funds available for the Extraordinary General Meeting's disposal amounts to SEK 1,993,866,687. In the light of the aforementioned, the Board of Directors proposes the Extraordinary General Meeting to resolve upon a so called subsequent dividend (Sw. efterutdelning) of SEK 0.55 per share, amounting to a total of SEK 97,594,375. Tuesday, 16 June, 2015, is proposed as the record day for distribution. In the event that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves in accordance with the proposal, the dividend is expected to be distributed by Euroclear Sweden AB on Monday, 22 June, 2015.
The complete proposal for resolution under item 6 above as well as other documents pursuant to the Swedish Companies Act will be available on 22 May, 2015, at the latest, at the company's office and on the website, www.rabt.se.
