Lemminkäinen’s Annual General Meeting is held annually within six months of the end of each accounting period on a date to be determined by the Board of Directors.
The AGM decides on matters as required in the provisions of the Companies Act, such as adoption of the year-end financial statements, profit distribution, and the granting of discharge from liability to the members of the Board of Directors and to the President & CEO. The AGM also elects the members of the Board of Directors and the auditors and decides on the fees that will be paid to them.
Notice of a general meeting of shareholders must be published in at least in one newspaper appearing in Helsinki no earlier than two months and no later than 17 days prior to the meeting. The right to attend a general meeting of shareholders is restricted to those shareholders who are registered on the Company’s list of shareholders kept by Euroclear Finland Oy at least ten days prior to the meeting. Nominee-registered shareholders can be included on the Company’s list of shareholder temporarily for the purpose of attending a general meeting of shareholders. Lemminkäinen has one share class, and each share carries one vote at a general meeting of shareholders.
Lemminkäinen’s Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that the shareholders are provided in advance with adequate information on the matters to be dealt with at a general meeting of shareholders. This information is given in the notice of the general meeting, in other bulletins and releases, and on the Company’s website.
A shareholder is entitled to have a matter dealt with at a general meeting of shareholders if such matter falls within the competence of a general meeting according to the Companies Act and if the shareholder makes the proposal in writing to the Board of Directors in sufficient time for it to be included in the notice of the meeting.
The minutes of a general meeting of shareholders, including the voting results and the appendices of the minutes that are part of a decision made by the meeting, shall be posted on Lemminkäinen’s website within two weeks of the general meeting.
