Participation in General Meetings
In order to participate in a General Meeting, shareholders must notify the Company no later than the day specified in the notice convening the General Meeting. Shareholders who cannot participate in the General Meeting in person may be represented by proxy. Only shareholders registered in the share register have voting rights. Nominee-registered shareholders who wish to vote must request to be entered into the share register by the record date for the General Meeting.
The Board of Directors may also resolve that the shareholders shall be able to exercise their voting rights by post before the General Meeting. In connection with the issuance of the notice convening the General Meeting, information is provided regarding the forms of the General Meeting as well as the time and manner for notification to participate in the General Meeting.
Decision making at General Meetings
The agenda for the General Meeting sets out the items which are subject to resolution by the General Meeting, and the items that are included for information purposes. Items on the agenda which require resolutions by the General Meeting are subject to a binding vote whereby the shareholders vote in favour or against or abstain from voting on the matter.
Most shareholder resolutions at General Meetings are passed by a simple majority. However, the Swedish Companies Act requires qualified majorities in certain cases, for example in case of:
- Amendment of the Articles of Association
- Resolution to transfer treasury stock to employees participating in long-term variable remuneration programs
A shareholder who wishes that a matter is addressed at a General Meeting must submit a written request to this effect to the Board of Directors. The request must be received by Ericsson no later than seven weeks prior to the General Meeting, or in due time for the matter to be included in the notice convening the General Meeting. As regards proposals for resolutions in matters already included on the agenda and for which a proposal, according to law, does not have to be submitted a certain time in advance, a shareholder has the right to submit such proposal during the period up until the General Meeting (including during the General Meeting).
The Annual General Meeting of shareholders
The Annual General Meeting of shareholders (AGM) is held in Stockholm. The date and venue for the meeting is announced on the Ericsson website no later than at the time of release of the third-quarter interim financial report.
Notice convening the AGM is issued through announcement in Post- och Inrikes Tidningar as well as at the Company’s website. Announcement to the effect that notice has been issued is made in Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet. The notice is issued no earlier than six weeks and no later than four weeks before the AGM.
Information regarding AGM 2026
The AGM is held in Swedish and is simultaneously interpreted into English. All documentation provided by the Company is available in both Swedish and English.
The AGM gives shareholders the opportunity to raise questions relating to matters raised at the AGM, the Company’s relation to another Group company as well as the financial situation of the Company and the Group. Normally, members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Team are present to answer such questions. The external auditor is always present at the AGM.
