In order to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Extraordinary General Meeting will, in accordance with temporary legislation, be held only by postal voting. No meeting with the possibility to attend in person or to be represented by a proxy will take place. Hence, the Extraordinary General Meeting will be held without physical presence.   

Telia Company welcomes all shareholders to exercise their voting rights at the Extraordinary General Meeting through postal voting as described below. Information on the resolutions passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting will be published on Wednesday, December 2, 2020, as soon as the result of the postal voting has been finally confirmed.  

The shareholders may request in the postal voting form that a resolution on one or several of the matters on the proposed agenda below should be deferred to a so-called continued general meeting, which cannot be conducted solely by way of postal voting.

Resolutions proposed by the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors proposes that Wilhelm Lüning, Attorney-at-Law, is elected Chair of the Extraordinary General Meeting, or if he is unable to attend the meeting, any other person proposed by the Board of Directors.

Item 3 - Election of two persons to check the minutes of the meeting together with the Chair

Jan Andersson, representing Swedbank Robur Funds, and Javiera Ragnartz, representing SEB Funds, or if one or both of them are unable to attend, the person or persons instead appointed by the Board of Directors, are proposed to be elected to approve the minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting together with the Chair.

The task of approving the minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting also includes verifying the voting list and that the postal votes received are correctly stated in the minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting.  

Item 4 - Preparation and approval of the voting list

The voting list proposed for approval is the voting list drawn up by Euroclear Sweden AB on behalf of Telia Company, based on the Extraordinary General Meeting's share register and postal votes received, as verified and recommended by the persons approving the minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Item 6 - Resolution on extraordinary dividend

Telia Company's Board of Directors, in March 2020, decided to amend its dividend proposal to the Annual General Meeting, held on April 2, 2020, to SEK 1.80 per share, from the previous proposal of SEK 2.45 per share. This was done in order to postpone the decision until there was more visibility on the impact of COVID-19. It was also communicated that the Board of Directors, in the autumn, could call for an Extraordinary General Meeting to decide on a potential extraordinary dividend.

As a consequence of improved visibility on the underlying performance of Telia Company and the strengthened balance sheet following the disposals of the shareholding in Turkcell Holding and Telia Carrier, the Board of Directors has now decided to propose to pay an extraordinary dividend of SEK 0.65 per share, subject to the approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting.

If the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves in accordance with the proposal, the record date for the dividend payment shall be on Friday, December 4, 2020, and, it is estimated that Euroclear Sweden AB will execute the payments on Wednesday, December 9, 2020. The extraordinary dividend proposed by the Board of Directors will not affect the payment of the ordinary dividend resolved by the Annual General Meeting on April 2, 2020.

At December 31, 2019, the company's restricted equity totalled approximately SEK 15,713 million and the unrestricted equity totalled approximately SEK 76,900 million. The Annual General Meeting, on April 2, 2020, resolved to pay an ordinary dividend of SEK 1.80 per share. The total ordinary dividend resolved by the Annual General Meeting amounted to SEK 7,361 million which reduces the available non-restricted equity by the same amount. Hence, the available amount for distribution in accordance with Chapter 17, Section 3, Paragraph 1, of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551), amounts to approximately SEK 69,538 million.
