The shareholders of Stillfront Group AB (publ), reg. no. 556721-3078 (the "Company" or "Stillfront"), are hereby given notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 17 June 2021. The board of directors are issuing this notice following a request by the shareholder Laureus Capital GmbH (“Laureus”), which holds 12.37% of the shares and votes in the Company, pursuant to Chapter 7, Section 13 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)).

The shareholder has informed the Company that the reason for its request is as follows. Due to a technical oversight, Laureus was unable to vote for its shares held in the Company at the Annual General Meeting on 11 May 2021, despite its intention to do so. The Board of Directors had, i.a., proposed that the Annual General Meeting was to resolve on (a) a long-term incentive program to the executive management of Stillfront and certain key-employees of the Stillfront group (the “Program”) and (b) issue and transfer of warrants in order to ensure delivery of shares in accordance with the employee stock options granted under the Program (the “Warrant Hedge Arrangement”). The Annual General Meeting resolved to establish the Program but resolved against the Warrant Hedge Arrangement. Laureus believes that the Program is an important tool for retaining existing key-employees of the Stillfront group but also for attracting future recruitment of key employees. Further, Laureus believes the Warrant Hedge Arrangement is a suitable arrangement for ensuring delivery of shares under the Program by, among other things, preventing significant costs for an alternative delivery arrangement of shares under the Program. The resolution approving the Warrant Hedge Arrangement would have passed if Laureus had been able to vote for its shares at the Annual General Meeting. Thus, Laureus has requested that the Company’s board of directors summons this Extraordinary General Meeting to resolve on a warrant hedge agreement in line with the proposal at the Annual General Meeting for securing delivery of shares under the Program.

In order to prevent the spread of the virus causing covid-19, the board of directors has decided that the Extraordinary General Meeting will be held without the physical presence of shareholders, proxies or external parties and that the shareholders shall have the opportunity to exercise their voting rights only by postal voting prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting.
