Swedbank

Shareholders are welcome for registration from 09:30 am (CET). Light refreshments will be offered before the Annual General Meeting. 

The Annual General Meeting will be simultaneously interpreted to English.

Pursuant to article 12 of the Articles of Association of Swedbank AB (publ) ("Swedbank"), the Board of Directors has resolved that shareholders may also exercise their voting rights at the Annual General Meeting by postal voting. Shareholders may therefore choose to exercise their voting rights at the Annual General Meeting by physical participation, by proxy or by postal voting. The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting is broadcasted on Swedbank's website, www.swedbank.com/AGM.

If attending by proxy or representative, a power of attorney, registration certificate or other authorisation documents should be sent to the bank at the above address well in advance of the Annual General Meeting and preferably no later than 20 March 2024. Power of attorney forms are available on the bank's website at www.swedbank.com/AGM.

Participation through postal voting
Anyone wishing to attend the Annual General Meeting by postal voting, personally or by a proxy must:

• give notice by casting their postal vote in accordance with the instructions below, so that the postal vote is received by Swedbank, c/o Euroclear no later than 20 March 2024.

A special form shall be used for postal voting. The postal voting form is available on Swedbank's website www.swedbank.com/AGM. 

A completed and signed postal voting form can be sent by post to Swedbank AB, "AGM", c/o Euroclear Sweden AB, Box 191, 101 23 Stockholm, Sweden, or by e-mail to GeneralMeetingService@euroclear.com. The completed form must be received by Euroclear no later than 20 March 2024.

The shareholder may not give instructions other than to mark one of the alternative answers specified in the form. If the shareholder has included special instructions or conditions in the form or changed or made amendments to pre-printed text, the postal vote will be considered invalid. Further instructions and conditions may be found in the postal voting form and at https://anmalan.vpc.se/EuroclearProxy.

If a shareholder casts a postal vote by proxy, a written and dated power of attorney signed by the shareholder shall be enclosed with the postal voting form.

Please note that anyone who wants to attend the meeting, in person or by proxy, must give notice about this in accordance with the instructions under the heading "Participation by attending the meeting venue" above. This means that a notice only by postal voting is not sufficient for those who want to attend the meeting venue.

Nominee-registered shares
Shareholders whose shares are nominee-registered through a bank or other authorised depositary, e.g., in a custody account, must - in addition to giving notice or casting a postal vote - request that the shares be temporarily re-registered in their own name so that the shareholder is registered in the share register maintained by Euroclear as of the record date on 18 March 2024. Such registration may be temporary (so-called voting rights registration) and is requested from the nominee in accordance with the nominee's routines and at such time in advance decided by the nominee. Voting right registration that the shareholder has requested at such time that the registration has been issued by the nominee no later than 20 March 2024 will be accepted in the preparation of the share register
