Raute Corporation’s Board of Directors has decided to change the Notice of the Annual General Meeting, on which a stock exchange release was published on February 25, 2022. The company’s Board of Directors has decided to change its proposal for a resolution in section 8 (Resolution on the use of the profit shown on the balance sheet and the payment of dividend) such that, on the basis of the balance sheet adopted for the financial year 2021, no dividend be paid by a resolution of the Annual General Meeting and that instead, the Board of Directors be authorised to decide, at its discretion, on the payment of a total dividend of no more than EUR 0.80 per share for series A and K shares. The authorisation would be valid until the beginning of the company’s following Annual General Meeting. Raute Corporation’s shareholders are invited to attend the company’s Annual General Meeting, which will be held on Thursday, March 31, 2022, at 6 p.m. at Sibelius Hall, Ankkurikatu 7, Lahti, Finland. The reception of the registered participants will begin at 5:30 p.m.
In order to reduce the risk of infections due to the still continuing Covid-19 pandemic and to comply with the official regulations and guidelines, Raute Corporation urges shareholders to consider whether it is necessary for them to be present at the Annual General Meeting venue. Raute Corporation aims to keep the Annual General Meeting as brief as possible, and no refreshments will be served in connection with the meeting.
Instead of attending the meeting in person, registered shareholders have the opportunity to follow the meeting online via a video link. To exercise their voting rights, shareholders have the possibility to authorise a person of their choice to represent them and to exercise their voting rights on their behalf at the meeting, or the possibility to use the proxy service provided by the company. Shareholders have the opportunity to pose questions in advance concerning matters on the meeting’s agenda. More detailed instructions for shareholders can be found in this notice under section C. Instructions for those attending the Annual General Meeting.
