Proposed decisions

Election of chairman at the meeting (item 2) 
The board of directors proposes that the chairman of the board, Hans Linnarson, shall be elected chairman at the Extraordinary General Meeting, or, if he is unable to participate in the meeting, any other person proposed by the board of directors of NIBE Industrier.

Preparation and approval of the voting list (item 3) 
The board of directors proposes that the approved voting list shall be the voting list drawn up by Euroclear, based on the General Meeting's share register and postal votes received, checked by the person who verifies the minutes.

Election of one or two persons to verify the minutes (item 5)
The board of directors proposes that one person is elected to verify the minutes, and that Leif Gustavsson is elected. If he cannot participate in the meeting, any other person proposed by the board of directors of NIBE Industrier shall be elected. 

Proposal for resolution on dividend (item 7) 
On 30 March 2020, it was made public by NIBE Industrier that the board of directors had decided to withdraw its proposal on a dividend of SEK 1.40 per share due to the ongoing pandemic and convene an Extraordinary General Meeting later during the year to decide on dividend for 2019. The board of directors has now, given the company's continued solid financial position, both in terms of equity and liquidity, assessed that the prerequisites exist to distribute a dividend in accordance with the original proposal. The board of directors therefore proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves on a dividend in the total amount of SEK 705,623,270.80, corresponding to SEK 1.40 per share. As record date for the dividend, the board of directors proposes Friday 18 December 2020. The dividend is expected to be distributed by Euroclear on Wednesday 23 December 2020. The last date of trading with the NIBE share with right to dividend is Wednesday 16 December 2020. 

According to the most recently adopted balance sheet as of 31 December 2019, the non-restricted equity of the company amounted to MSEK 8,979. The Annual General Meeting held on 14 May 2020 resolved that the amount at the disposal of the general meeting should be carried forward. Thus, the amount disposable under Chapter 17, Section 3, first paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act amounts to MSEK 8,979. Provided that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves in accordance with the board of director's proposal for dividend, MSEK 8,273 of the company's non-restricted equity will remain. 

The board of directors further proposes that the board of directors, the managing director or the person that any of them may appoint shall be authorized to make the minor adjustments in the above resolutions as may be required in connection with the registration at the Swedish Companies Registration Office and/or Euroclear. 

Additional information 

As per the date of the announcement of this notice the total number of shares in the company amounts to 504 016 622, of which 58 282 590 are A-shares and 445 734 032 are B-shares. The total number of votes in the company amounts to 1 028 559 932.

The shareholders are entitled to receive information from the board of directors and the managing director regarding circumstances that may affect the assessment of an item on the agenda, if the board of directors considers that it can be done without material harm to the company. A request for such information shall be made in writing to NIBE Industrier AB, Att: Christel Fritiofsson, Box 14, 285 21 Markaryd, Sweden, or by email to christel.fritiofsson@nibe.se, no later than Thursday 10 December 2020.
