KINNEVIK: NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
The shareholders of Kinnevik AB (publ) ("Kinnevik") are hereby invited to an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on Tuesday 10 December 2024 at 10:00 a.m. CET at Hotel At Six, Brunkebergstorg 6 in Stockholm. Registration for the Extraordinary General Meeting will commence at 9:30 a.m. CET. The Board has decided that the shareholders also shall be able to exercise their voting rights at the Extraordinary General Meeting by postal voting in advance.
The Extraordinary General Meeting is held to resolve on the Nomination Committee's proposal to elect Hans Ploos van Amstel and Jan Berntsson as new members of the Kinnevik Board. The Board further proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to authorise the Board to issue and repurchase ordinary shares. Kinnevik's strategic transformation to a growth-focused and predominantly private portfolio was completed with the divestment of its shareholding in Tele2 during 2024. As Kinnevik enters this new phase, the Board considers new share issues and repurchases to be potentially valuable tools in Kinnevik's future capital allocation and adjustment of its capital structure to promote value creation for its long-term shareholders over the coming years. The notice document, including the Board's and the Nomination Committee's complete proposals, is attached to this press release. The notice document is also available on Kinnevik's website at www.kinnevik.com under the heading "Governance" (which can be found under the section "Investor relations").
