In addition, the shareholder must notify its intention to participate in the Meeting:

To be entitled to participate in the Meeting a shareholder whose shares are registered in the name of a nominee must, in addition to providing notification of participation, register its shares in its own name so that the shareholder is recorded in the share register on Friday, April 26, 2024. Such registration may be temporary (so-called voting right registration) and is requested from the nominee in accordance with the nominee’s procedures and such time in advance as the nominee determines. Voting right registrations completed by the nominee not later than Tuesday, April 30, 2024 are taken into account when preparing the share register.

Voting in advance
A special form shall be used for voting in advance (so called postal voting). The form is available on www.investorab.com. In the case of voting in advance only, no separate notification is required for the Meeting. The completed and signed voting form must be received by Euroclear (administering the forms on behalf of Investor AB) no later than Tuesday, April 30, 2024. The completed form may be sent by mail to Investor AB, c/o Euroclear Sweden AB, Box 191, SE-101 23 Stockholm, Sweden, or by e-mail to GeneralMeetingService@euroclear.com. Shareholders may also cast their vote in advance electronically by verification with BankID via https://anmalan.vpc.se/euroclearproxy. The shareholder may not provide special instructions or conditions in the voting form. If so, the vote (i.e. the voting in advance in its entirety) is invalid. Further instructions and conditions are included in the form for voting in advance.

If a shareholder has voted in advance as well as has notified its participation to attend the Meeting at the meeting venue, the vote cast in advance is still valid to the extent that the shareholder does not participate in a voting procedure at the Meeting or otherwise withdraws the vote in advance. If the shareholder chooses to participate in a voting at the Meeting, the vote cast will replace the previously submitted vote in advance with regard to the relevant item on the agenda.

For questions, please contact Euroclear by telephone +46 8 402 9052 (workdays between 9.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m.).
