The Annual General Meeting (or, where relevant, the Extraordinary General Meeting) is the Company’s ultimate decision-making body. At the Annual General Meeting, the shareholders exercise their voting rights in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act and the Articles of Association. Notice convening an Annual General Meeting shall be issued no earlier than six weeks and no later than four weeks prior to the meeting and published in the Swedish National Gazette (Sw. Post- och Inrikes Tidningar) and on the Company’s website. Information regarding the notice shall also be published in Svenska Dagbladet. Shareholders who wish to participate in a general meeting shall be included in the shareholders’ register on the record date for the meeting and shall notify the company of their intent to participate no later than on the day set out in the notice. 

The Annual General Meeting must be held within six months from the end of the financial year. In addition to the Annual General Meeting, Extraordinary General Meetings may be convened. The duties of the Annual General Meeting include the election of Members of the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the Nomination Committee, the adoption of the Income Statement and Balance Sheet, resolutions on the appropriation of profits and discharge from liability for the Members of the Board and the President of the company, the determination of fees payable to the Members of the Board and to the auditors, the approval of the Board’s remuneration report, and, where relevant, the amending of Articles of Association and the election of auditors.

The Annual General Meetings are usually held at one of Boliden’s facilities in Sweden in order to give the shareholders an insight into the operations. Shareholders are offered the chance of a guided tour of Boliden’s mines, concentrators or smelters in conjunction with these meetings in order to deepen their knowledge of the opera­tions and to give them an opportunity to meet with Boliden’s employees. 

Shareholders who wish to have a matter addressed at an Annual General Meeting may submit their proposals in writing to [email protected] or to Boliden AB, Att: Annual General Meeting, Box 44, 101 20 Stockholm, in such ample time that the proposal can be incorporated in the meeting notice and agenda, and at the latest seven weeks before the Annual General Meeting.
