Kinnevik AB (publ) ("Kinnevik") today held an Extraordinary General Meeting(the "EGM"). Due to the continuing coronavirus pandemic, the EGM was held only through postal voting in accordance with temporary legislation. The EGM resolved in accordance with the Board's proposal regarding a long-term share incentive plan for Kinnevik employees.
The EGM resolved to adopt a long-term share incentive plan for Kinnevik employees, including resolutions to amend Kinnevik's Articles of Association with the introduction of two new incentive share classes of Class C 2021 and Class D 2021 that in 2027 are reclassifiable into class B shares, to transfer up to 368,500 incentive shares of Class C 2021 and 368,500 incentive shares of Class D 2021 free-of-charge to Kinnevik employees that decides to participate in the plan, as well as to transfer up to 58,275 incentive shares of Class C 2021 and 58,275 incentive shares of Class D 2021, at market value, to the Chief Executive Officer and senior members of Kinnevik's investment team that is provided the opportunity to acquire additional incentive shares using their own capital.
