Correction: Hove A/S revises growth strategy in China

COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT NO. 18 – 2023 | 29-03-2023 - Contains insider information

Correction to company announcement no. 17. It was not mentioned that company announcement no. 17 contained insider information.The management of Hove A/S has today decided, and the board of directors of Hove A/S has approved, to put Hove A/S' establishment of a subsidiary in China on hold. The plan for a subsidiary was previously part of Hove’s growth strategy described in the IPO document of 03.11.2021 in connection with Hove A/S' IPO. 

This decision is determined by two factors: 

• Hove A/S' primary customers' focus is to a lesser extent on China. As before, Hove A/S' geographical expansion is aimed at being close to customers in their primary markets, which is why there is currently not the same need for an establishment in China. 

• Uncertainties regarding geopolitical relations between China and other countries arising after 2021. 

Hove A/S expects to be able to compensate for its lack of future revenue from the Chinese market by increasing sales in existing and other markets, and by selling new products. 

Hove A/S refers to company announcement no. 13, dated 21.11.2022, where the multi-year guidance was cancelled. 

Company announcement no. 15 was mistakenly numbered and published as no. 16, dated 10.03.2023, which is why this company announcement is numbered as no. 17.

The Annual General Meeting adopted the financial statements for the financial year 2022 and granted the members of the Board of Directors and the President & CEO release from liability for the financial year 2022.

 

Furthermore, the Annual General Meeting made the following decisions:

 

Use of the profit shown on the balance sheet and deciding on the payment of a dividend

 

The Annual General Meeting decided that, based on the balance sheet verified for 2022, a dividend of EUR 0.46 be issued per share for shares held outside the company at the time of dividend distribution.

 

The dividend is paid in two instalments as follows:

 

  • The first instalment of the dividend, EUR 0.23 per share, is paid to shareholders who are recorded in the company’s list of shareholders maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy on the date of record for dividend payment which is 31 March 2023. This dividend is paid on 12 April 2023.

 

  • The second instalment of the dividend, EUR 0.23 per share, is paid in October 2023. The second instalment is paid to shareholders who are recorded on the company’s list of shareholders maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy on the date of record for dividend payment. On its meeting scheduled for 25 September 2023, the Board of Directors will decide on the date of record and payment date for the second instalment of the dividend. The preliminary date of record for the second instalment is 27 September 2023 and the preliminary date of payment is 4 October 2023.

 

Remuneration Report of the Governing Bodies

 

The Annual General Meeting approved the Remuneration Report of the Governing Bodies. The decision was advisory.

 

Fees of the Board of Directors

 

The Annual General Meeting decided that the following fees are to be paid to the members of the Board of Directors: The Chair of the Board is to be paid a monthly fee of EUR 5,250 and the other members of the Board are to be paid a monthly fee of EUR 2,500.

 

In addition, the Annual General Meeting decided that an additional yearly fee of EUR 1,500 is paid to each member of the Board of Directors elected as the Chair or Member of the Audit Committee or Remuneration and Nomination Committee and that reasonable travel expenses are reimbursed according to invoices.

 

Composition of the Board of Directors

 

The Annual General Meeting confirmed that the Board of Directors shall have six (6) members. Petri Rignell, Timo Kohtamäki, Elina Rahkonen, Timo Pekkarinen, Jussi Aine and Petra Thorén were re-elected as members of the Board. The term of office of all members of the Board shall end at the end of the 2024 Annual General Meeting.

 

Election and remuneration of the Auditor

 

The Annual General Meeting re-elected authorised public accountants KPMG Oy Ab as the Auditor of the company, with Authorised Public Accountant Turo Koila as the responsible auditor. The Auditor shall be paid a reasonable fee in accordance with an invoice approved by the company.

 

Amendment of the Articles of Association

                                           

The Annual General Meeting decided that Article 8 of the Articles of Association be amended such that it allows holding a General Meeting outside the company’s registered office (in Espoo, Vantaa or Tuusula, in addition to Helsinki) and holding a General Meeting without a specific location, as a remote meeting, should the Board of Directors so decide.

 

According to a decision by the Annual General Meeting, Article 8 of the company’s Articles of Association would, following the amendment, read as follows (amended sections in bold):

 

“Article 8

Notice of General Meeting, registration for the General Meeting and place of General Meeting

 

The notice of the General Meeting must be sent to the shareholders no earlier than three months and no later than three weeks prior to the General Meeting, but no later than nine days before the record date of the General Meeting. The notice must be sent to the shareholders by way of a posting on the Company’s website.

 

In order to participate in the General Meeting, a shareholder shall register with the Company at the latest on the date stated on the notice of meeting, which may be at the earliest ten days prior to the General Meeting.

 

A General Meeting of shareholders may be held in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa or Tuusula. The Board of Directors may decide that a General Meeting of shareholders is held without a meeting venue, so that the shareholders exercise their authority during the meeting in full and in real time by means of a telecommunications link and a technical device (remote meeting).”

 

Authorisation to decide on the issuance of shares and special rights entitling to shares

 

The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue as well as the issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares pursuant to Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act as follows:

 

Under the authorisation, a maximum of 898,000 shares can be issued, which corresponds to approximately 10 per cent of Kreate’s total shares at the time of the decision. The shares or special rights entitling to shares can be issued in one or more tranches, either against or without payment. The shares issued under the authorisation can be new shares or shares held by Kreate.

 

The authorisation may be used for financing or executing acquisitions or other arrangements, the strengthening of the Company’s balance sheet and financial standing, the implementation of the Company’s share-based incentive systems or for other purposes decided by the Board of Directors.

Under the authorisation, the Board of Directors may decide to grant new shares to Kreate itself without payment, while ensuring that, at any given moment, Kreate and its subsidiaries own no more than 10 per cent of the total number of its shares.

 

Kreate’s Board of Directors is authorised to decide on all conditions related to share issues and the granting of special rights entitling to Kreate’s shares. Kreate’s Board of Directors is authorised to decide on a private share issue and the private granting of special rights entitling to shares, i.e. to deviate from shareholder privilege, provided that a weighty financial reason exists.

 

This authorisation is valid until the end of Kreate’s next Annual General Meeting but no later than 30 June 2024. The authorisation revokes any previous unused share issue authorisations.

 

Authorisation to decide on the repurchase and acceptance as a pledge of

own shares

The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase and acceptance as a pledge of Kreate’s own shares as follows:

 

The total maximum number of own shares to be repurchased or accepted as a pledge is 898,000 shares. Kreate, together with its subsidiaries, may not own and/or hold as pledge more than 10 per cent of Kreate’s all shares at any given moment. Pursuant to the authorisation, the company’s own shares can only be repurchased with Kreate’s unrestricted equity.

 

The company’s own shares may be purchased in one or more tranches on a regulated market where Kreate’s shares are being traded at a price determined on the date of purchase or otherwise at market price.

 

Kreate’s Board of Directors will decide on the repurchase and acceptance as a pledge of own shares. Derivatives, among other things, may be used in the purchase of own shares. Own shares may be purchased in proportions that differ from the ownership proportions of the shareholders (directed purchase).

 

Own shares may be repurchased and accepted as a pledge, among other things, in order to limit the dilution effect of share issues implemented during business acquisitions, for the purpose of developing Kreate’s capital structure, for handing over in connection with possible acquisitions, for use in incentive systems or for the purpose of annulment, provided that the purchase is in line with the interests of Kreate and its shareholders.

 

This authorisation is valid until the end of Kreate’s next Annual General Meeting but no later than 30 June 2024. The authorisation revokes any previous unused authorisations for the repurchase and acceptance as a pledge of the company’s own shares.

 

Minutes of the Annual General Meeting

Eagle Filters Group Oyj applies for delisting (regarding the secondary listing) of its shares from Nasdaq First North Growth Market Sweden

Eagle Filters Group OyjCompany announcement29.3.2023, 15:00 (EET)

Eagle Filters Group Oyj´s shares will be traded solely on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland under the trading code: EAGLE (ISIN code: FI4000092523)

Eagle Filters Group Oyj (“the Company”) has applied for delisting of its shares from Nasdaq First North Growth Market Sweden (“Nasdaq FN GM Sweden”). When adopting the decision on applying for the delisting, the Board of Directors considered the development of trading since the company listed its shares on Nasdaq FN GM Sweden in 2016, noting the low level of trading volumes as well as the small number of current shareholders holding their shares through Euroclear Sweden AB. The Company has also considered the additional costs related to maintaining this secondary listing for a company of its size as well as the administrative burden of complying with the listing rules of another market in addition to its home market in Finland.

The Company wants to remind its shareholders holding their shares through Euroclear Sweden AB that even while the listing of Eagle Filters Group´s shares on Nasdaq FN GM Sweden will be discontinued, such shareholders can continue trading in Eagle Filters Group’ shares on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland by first arranging for the cross-border settlement of their shares into the book-entry system maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy. In order to effectuate such cross-border settlement, the shareholders should contact their respective custodian or Eagle Filters Group´s Issuing Agent Aqurat Fondkommission AB (info@aqurat.se) for more information.

The last day of trading on Nasdaq FN GM Sweden is expected to be 12 May 2023. More information about the delisting will be provided once Nasdaq Sweden has decided on the application.

Valtuutus sisältää hallitukselle oikeuden päättää kaikista osakeannin sekä mainittujen erityisten oikeuksien antamisen ehdoista, mukaan lukien osakkeiden tai erityisten oikeuksien saajat ja maksettavan vastikkeen määrä. Valtuutus sisältää myös oikeuden antaa osakkeita osakkeenomistajien etuoikeudesta poiketen eli suunnatusti. Hallituksen valtuutus kattaa sekä uusien osakkeiden antamisen että yhtiön hallussa mahdollisesti olevien omien osakkeiden luovutuksen.

Valtuutus on voimassa vuonna 2024 järjestettävän varsinaisen yhtiökokouksen päättymiseen saakka kuitenkin enintään 30.6.2024 saakka. Tämä valtuutus kumoaa aikaisemmat yhtiökokouksissa päätetyt osakeanti- ja osakkeisiin oikeuttavien erityisten oikeuksien antamisesta annetut valtuutukset.

The webcast starts at 2:00 p.m. on 4 May 2023. It is not possible to pose questions, make proposals or vote via webcast. Following the webcast is not considered as participating in the AGM, nor is it considered as exercising one’s rights as a shareholder.

 

A. MATTERS ON THE AGENDA OF THE GENERAL MEETING

At the AGM, the following matters will be considered:

1.     Opening of the meeting

2.     Calling the meeting to order

3.     Election of persons to scrutinise the minutes and to supervise the counting of votes

4.     Recording the legality of the meeting

5.     Recording the attendance at the meeting and adoption of the list of votes

Review by the CEO

7.     Adoption of the Financial Statements and the Consolidated Financial Statements

8.     Resolution on the use of the profit shown on the balance sheet and the distribution of dividend  

The parent company’s distributable funds amount to EUR 110,881,942.35 and the parent company’s profit for the period is EUR 57,178.31. The Board of Directors proposes to the AGM that a dividend of EUR 0.15 per share be paid from distributable funds based on the company’s operating profit. In addition to this, the Board of Directors proposes that an additional dividend of EUR 0.65 per share be paid based on capital gains from the divestment of fibre networks.

Based on the situation on the date of the notice, the dividend and additional dividend would correspond to EUR 4,593,678.40 in total. No dividend is paid on treasury shares. The dividend is paid to shareholders who on the dividend record date 8 May 2023 are registered in the company’s shareholder register held by Euroclear Finland Oy. The Board of Directors proposes that the dividend be paid on 16 May 2023.

In addition to the above-mentioned dividend distribution, the Board of Directors proposes that the AGM authorises the Board to, at its discretion, decide on the distribution of an additional dividend of a maximum of EUR 1.00 per share from the parent company’s distributable funds, and that the authorisation in question is valid until the beginning of the following AGM. Based on the situation on the date of the notice, the authorisation would correspond to EUR 5,742,098.00 in total. The company will publish such a decision separately and will at the same time confirm the final record and payment dates.

Whether the authorisation of the Board of Directors will be used to pay an additional dividend or not depends on the capital requirements of the following strategy period (2024–2027), which the company strives to announce by the end of 2023. 

9.     Resolution on the discharge from liability of the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO

10.  Non-binding discussion of the remuneration report for governing bodies

The remuneration report for governing bodies is available on the company’s website at www.loihde.com/agm. The resolution of the AGM is advisory under the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act.

11.  Resolution on the remuneration of the members and the Chairperson of the Board of Directors and the reimbursement of their travel expenses

The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes to keep the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors unchanged:

  • The Chairperson of the Board of Directors shall be paid an annual fee of EUR 39,600 and a meeting fee of EUR 700 per meeting.
  • Each member of the Board of Directors shall be paid an annual fee of EUR 16,500 and a meeting fee of EUR 600 per meeting.
  • The meeting fee shall be EUR 700 per meeting for the Chairperson of a committee and EUR 600 per meeting for the members of a committee.

The travel expenses of the members of the Board of Directors shall according to the proposal be reimbursed in accordance with the company’s travel rules.

All the proposed members of the Board of Directors are independent of the company and its major shareholders and they have given their consent to the position.

In addition, the Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes to the AGM that Timo Kotilainen shall be elected Chairperson of the Board of Directors.

Further information about the persons proposed to become members of the Board of Directors can be found on the company’s website at www.loihde.com/agm.

14.  Resolution on the remuneration of the auditor

The Board of Directors proposes to the AGM that the remuneration to the auditor be paid in accordance with the auditor’s reasonable invoice approved by the company.

15.  Election of auditor

The Board of Directors proposes to the AGM that the audit firm Ernst & Young Oy shall be elected as the company’s auditor for the term that ends with the conclusion of the 2024 AGM. Ernst & Young has informed the company that the auditor with principal responsibility would be Maria Onniselkä, auditor approved by the Finnish Central Chamber of Commerce.

16.  Changes to the Articles of Association

The Board of Directors proposes to the AGM that the Articles of Association shall be changed in order to enable organising the general meetings as virtual meetings without a meeting location as an alternative to physical meetings or hybrid meetings. The reason for the change is to enable organising the general meetings remotely in order to facilitate the participation and attendance of the company’s shareholders, especially in unforeseen or exceptional circumstances, but not limited to such circumstances. The Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act requires that shareholders shall be able to exercise their rights in full in remote meetings so that they have the same rights as in general meetings that are held at a meeting location. The change does not prevent general meetings from being held as physical or hybrid meetings.

According to the proposal by the Board of Directors, section 9, paragraph 1 of the Articles of Association is to read as follows after the change:

“The Ordinary General Meeting shall be held annually on a date decided by the Board of Directors, before the end of June, in Seinäjoki or Vaasa. An Extraordinary General Meeting shall be held in Seinäjoki or Vaasa. The Board of Directors may also decide that the General Meeting shall be held without a meeting location so that the shareholders exercise their power of decision during the meeting in full and in real time by telecommunications and other technical means (remote meeting).”

17. Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of own shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM decides to authorise the Board to resolve on a share buyback programme where at most 350,000 of the company’s shares will be acquired, in one or more instalments, using the company’s unrestricted equity. The maximum number of shares would correspond to approximately 6% of all shares in the company. The authorisation gives the Board of Directors the right to decide on the acquisition of shares otherwise than in proportion to the shareholdings of the shareholders (directed acquisition). The authorisation covers the acquisition of shares either on the First North Growth Market in accordance with its rules and guidelines, in which case the purchase price will be determined by the share price at the time of acquisition, or by means of a purchase offer to the shareholders, in which case the purchase price must be the same for all shareholders.

The company’s own shares will be purchased to be used for carrying out acquisitions or other arrangements related to the company’s business, to improve the company’s financing structure, as part of the implementation of the company’s incentive schemes or otherwise transferred or cancelled. The authorisation gives the Board of Directors the right to decide on all other terms and conditions pertaining to the acquisition of the company’s own shares. According to the proposal, the authorisation would be valid until the end of the next AGM, but until 30 June 2024 at the latest.

18. Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM authorises the Board to decide on the issuance of shares in one or more tranches in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

  • The authorisation concerns issuing new shares as well as transferring treasury shares held by the company (share issue).
  • The Board of Directors is authorised to decide on the issuance of a maximum of 583,000 shares, which corresponds to 10.2% of all shares in the company.   
  • The Board of Directors is authorised to decide on to whom and in which order shares are issued. The Board of Directors may decide to issue shares otherwise than in proportion to the shareholdings of the shareholders (directed share issue).
  • The Board of Directors may use the shares in financing acquisitions or restructuring, a maximum of 483,000 shares (8.4% of all the shares in the company), as part of the personnel’s incentive schemes, a maximum of 100,000 shares (1.7% of all the shares in the company), or for other purposes in the way and to the extent decided by the Board of Directors.
  • The authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to decide on all other terms of the issuance of shares.
  • The authorisation of the Board with regard to shares used for acquisitions and restructuring is valid until the end of the next AGM, but until 30 June 2024 at the latest, while the authorisation with regard to shares related to incentive schemes for the company’s personnel is valid for four years from the decision of the AGM.
  • The authorisation does not revoke the previous authorisations granted by the AGM to the Board of Directors on 25 June 2020, 6 May 2021 and 5 May 2022 to the extent that the previous authorisations concern shares issued as part of the personnel incentive schemes. Of the authorisations in question, the first is valid until 25 June 2024 and based on the authorisation, the Board of Directors may still issue a maximum of 65,153 shares, the second is valid until 6 May 2025 and based on the authorisation, the Board may still issue a maximum of 80,000 shares, and the third is valid until 5 May 2026 and based on the authorisation, the Board may still issue a maximum of 149,792 shares.

19.  Changes to the terms of the long-term share-based incentive scheme for the Board of Directors and resolution on the remuneration for the vesting period 2020–2022

The 2020 AGM decided to approve and introduce a long-term share-based incentive scheme for the members of the company’s Board of Directors (below “Scheme”). The purpose of the scheme is to align the goals of the shareholders and the Board of Directors in order to increase the value of the company and implement the business strategy in the long term as well as to commit the members of the Board of Directors to the company and offer them a competitive incentive scheme that is based on earning shares in the company and on the value development of those shares. The AGM decided that the first vesting period of the Scheme was 26 June 2020–31 December 2022.

The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that the AGM decides to change sections 4 and 7 of the terms of the Scheme so that in order to receive commitment shares, the person has to be a member of the Board when the vesting period ends (according to the current terms, the person has to be a member of the Board at the time of payment of the commitment shares) and that the AGM accepts the changed terms of the Scheme as presented in Appendix 1.

In accordance with the terms of the Scheme, the AGM may decide that after the vesting period has ended a person is entitled to receive one commitment share free of charge for each four shares that he/she has subscribed for in the share issue and still hold at the time of payment of the commitment shares, from which the potential cash component of the bonus is deducted.

The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that the AGM decides on a directed share issue without payment to Timo Kotilainen and Elina Piispanen for the Scheme’s first vesting period 26 June 2020–31 December 2022 in order to pay the earned commitment shares. The bonus is paid entirely in shares. The shares issued in the directed share issue without payment would amount to 240 shares in total, with Timo Kotilainen and Elina Piispanen each receiving one new share free of charge for each four shares they subscribed for in the share issue and still hold in accordance with the terms of the Scheme, i.e. each would receive 120 new shares.

20.  Resolution on the persons entitled to participate in the 2023–2025 vesting period of the long-term share-based incentive scheme for the Board of Directors and on a related directed share issue against payment

The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that the AGM confirms that in accordance with the terms of the long-term share-based incentive scheme for the Board of Directors, the third vesting period is 5 May 2023 to 31 December 2025, and that the AGM also confirms that the following proposed members of the Board of Directors of Loihde Plc shall be entitled to participate in the vesting period: Kaj Hagros, Timo Kotilainen, Juha Murtopuro, Matti Piri, Anni Ronkainen, Matti Vikkula and Stefan Wikman.

In addition, the Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes to the AGM that a directed share issue against payment to the members of the Board of Directors of Loihde Plc shall be decided on based on the long-term share-based incentive scheme.

The proposed terms and conditions to be applied to the share issue and the proposed persons to be entitled to participate in the share issue and their maximum subscription rights are shown in Appendix 2 that consist of the proposed terms of the share issue and in the separate list of subscription rights that is enclosed with the terms of the share issue.

Since the subscription price of the shares, according to the proposed terms of the share issue, is determined based on the average price of the company’s share in April 2023, the final subscription price and the maximum number of shares that each person that is entitled to subscribe for shares is entitled to subscribe for will be confirmed on the day of the AGM at the latest and will be announced on the company’s website at www.loihde.com/agm and at the AGM.

21.  Authorisation to decide on donations

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM authorises the Board of Directors to decide on donations of at most EUR 50,000 in total to training and research activities that support the company’s business or non-profit or comparable causes, and that the AGM authorises the Board of Directors to decide on the receivers, the purpose of use, the timetable and other terms of the donations. The Board of Directors finds the authorisation of donations reasonable considering the company’s financial situation and the amount of unrestricted equity.

22.  Closing of the meeting

 

B. DOCUMENTS OF THE GENERAL MEETING

The Financial Statements, the Report of the Board of Directors and the Auditor’s Report as well as the Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Report and the above-mentioned proposals for the decisions on the matters of the AGM are available on the company’s website at www.loihde.com/agm.

A holder of nominee-registered shares is advised to request without delay necessary instructions regarding the temporary registration in the shareholder register of the company, the issuing of proxy documents and voting instructions and the registration for the AGM from his/her custodian bank. The account operator of the custodian bank has to register a holder of nominee-registered shares who wants to participate in the AGM in the temporary shareholder register of the company by the time stated above at the latest, and if necessary ensure to vote in advance on behalf of the shareholder before the deadline for registration regarding holders of nominee-registered shares ends.

3.     Proxy representative and powers of attorney

A shareholder may participate in the AGM and exercise his/her rights at the meeting by way of proxy representation.

In addition to producing proxy documents (powers of attorney), the shareholder or his/her proxy shall register for the AGM in the way described in this notice. The duty to register also applies to shareholders that have given so-called long-term powers of attorney or their proxies.

A shareholder’s proxy representative shall produce a dated proxy document or otherwise in a reliable manner demonstrate his/her right to represent the shareholder at the AGM. When a shareholder participates in the AGM by means of several proxy representatives representing the shareholder with shares at different securities accounts, the shares by which each proxy representative represents the shareholder shall be identified in connection with the registration for the AGM. The form for the proxy document and voting instructions is available on Loihde’s website at www.loihde.com/agm. 

The signed proxy document shall be delivered by email to osakeasiat@loihde.com or by regular mail to Euroclear Finland Oy, PL 1110, 00101 Helsinki, FINLAND. The proxy document shall be received by the company no later than 27 April 2023 by 4:00 p.m.

A shareholder who is a natural person can instead of the traditional proxy document deliver a proxy document in the online service used for giving notice of participation in the meeting.  

A shareholder who is an organisation can also use the Suomi.fi e-authorisation service instead of a traditional proxy document.  In this case, the organisation authorises a proxy that they nominate in the Suomi.fi authorisation service at suomi.fi/e-authorizations using the mandate theme “Representation at the General Meeting”. In connection with Euroclear Finland Oy’s general meeting service, the proxy so authorised must identify himself/herself with strong electronic authentication in connection with the registration, after which the electronic authorisation will be checked automatically.  Strong electronic authentication works with online banking ID or mobile certificate. More information is available on the website suomi.fi/e-authorizations.

4.     Advance voting

A shareholder who has a Finnish book-entry account may vote in advance on certain items of the agenda of the AGM through the company’s website during the time period starting on 31 March 2023 at 10:00 a.m. and ending on 27 April 2023 at 4:00 p.m.

In order to be able to vote in advance, the shareholder shall first give notice of participation in the AGM.

A shareholder voting in advance may not be able to use his/her right according to the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act to request information or a vote, unless he/she participates in the AGM on location in person or by way of proxy representation.

A proxy representative appointed by the shareholder cannot vote in advance on behalf of the shareholder.

For holders of nominee-registered shares, the advance voting occurs via the account operator. The account operator can vote in advance on behalf of the holders of nominee-registered shares that the account operator represents in accordance with their voting instructions before the deadline for registration of nominee-registered shares ends.

A draft resolution that is subject to advance voting is considered to have been presented unchanged at the AGM. The terms and conditions and instructions related to the electronic advance voting can be found on the company’s website at www.loihde.com/agm.

5.     Asking questions in advance

The company strives to, if possible, answer the questions at the meeting.

The advance questions are not questions pursuant to chapter 5, section 25 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act. Questions asked by virtue of the right to request information based on the law shall be asked at the AGM.

    Scandinavian Medical Solutions A/S sælger Siemens MRI-scanner til kunde fra Mellemøsten

    Investornyhed nr. 31 – 2023 | 28-03-2023

    Scandinavian Medical Solution A/S (eller ‘Selskabet’) er glade for at kunne offentliggøre salget af en Siemens MRI-scanner til en kunde fra Mellemøsten.

    Der er tale om et salg til én af Selskabets trofaste kunder, som tidligere har købt mindre udstyr hos Scandinavian Medical Solutions. Kunden har nu også investeret i mere kapitaltungt udstyr i form af en MRI-scanner. Den solgte scanner er i branchen kendt for at være særdeles budgetvenlig, grundet sit lave strømforbrug – og samtidig har den et lavt støjniveau og fornuftige billedkvalitet. Systemet bibringer høj Value-for-Money i et marked, hvor udbuddet af brugte MRI-scannere er begrænset.  

    Salget udgør et beløb større end DKK 2,0 mio. og offentliggøres derfor i henhold til Selskabets informations – og kommunikationspolitik. Ordren ligger inden for intervallet DKK 2,0 mio. til under DKK 3,5 mio.

    Levering af udstyret - og risikoovergang - er sket i uge 12 2023. Ordren ændrer ikke på udmeldt guidance for omsætning og EBITDA i regnskabsåret 2022/2023.

    Supplerende Information

    For spørgsmål vedrørende denne investornyhed kan Selskabets CEO, Jens Krohn, kontaktes på investor@scandinavian-medical.com. Tlf.: 60 55 60 90.

    Om Selskabet

    MRI, CT og PET/CT-scannere er blandt det dyreste og mest komplekse udstyr, der findes på et hospital, og de tonstunge følsomme maskiner kan kun transporteres, samles og vedligeholdes af specialiserede fagfolk med erfaring og tekniske færdigheder.  

    Derfor tilbyder Scandinavian Medical Solutions en komplet business til business løsning, som garanterer maskinens kvalitet og funktionalitet.  

    Scandinavian Medical Solutions tilbyder hospitaler og klinikker verden over et tilgængeligt, pålideligt og bæredygtigt økosystem for handel med scanningsudstyr og skaber dermed grundlag for en cirkulær økonomi, hvor eksisterende materiel får nyt liv.
