Information related to corona virus (Covid-19)

To reduce the risk of spread of infection Bilia AB has decided to conduct the AGM so that the shareholders as far as possible exercise its voting rights by voting in advance so-called postal voting or by proxy. Bilia AB has also decided to take a number of precautionary measures for the implementation of the AGM. The precautions include among other things that the participation of Bilia AB’s Board of Directors and management will be limited in the meeting room and that no food or drink will be offered. The statement of the Managing Director will be very brief at the AGM and instead, a longer recorded statement will be published on Bilia AB’s website on the same day as the AGM is held. Questions at the meeting will be concentrated on the decision points on the agenda and other information that participants are entitled to receive under law.

In view of the risk of infection, Bilia AB advises against participation in the meeting room and recommends that shareholders participate by postal voting.
