Articles of association – Electrolux Professional Corporate
Articles of association for Electrolux Professional AB (publ)
Corporate Identification No. 556003-0354
adopted by the General Meeting on February 18, 2020.
§ 1 – The name of the Company is Electrolux Professional AB (publ).
§ 2 – The registered office of the Board of Directors shall be in Stockholm.
§ 3 – The object of the Company’s business is to carry on manufacturing and sales of machinery and accessories, mainly intended for washing, food and beverage preparation, and other business activities compatible therewith.
§ 4 – The share capital of the Company shall be not less than SEK twenty million (20,000,000) and not more than SEK eighty million (80,000,000).
§ 5 – The number of shares shall be not less than 200,000,000 and not more than 800,000,000.
The shares of the Company may be issued in two series, A and B. For the purposes of voting at a General Meeting, each share of series A carries one vote and each share of series B carries one-tenth of a vote.
Shares of series A may be issued up to a maximum number of 800,000,000 and shares of series B up to a maximum number of 800,000,000. Shares of series A and series B carry equal rights to participation in the Company’s assets and profit.
Should the Company decide to issue new series A and series B shares by way of a cash issue or a set-off issue, the holders of series A and series B shares shall have the priority right to subscribe for new shares of the same series in proportion to their existing shareholdings (primary preferential right). Shares not subscribed for by primary preferential right shall be offered to all shareholders (subsidiary preferential right). If the number of shares available for subscription is insufficient for the subscription made under subsidiary preferential right, the shares shall be distributed among the subscribers in proportion to their previous shareholdings and, if this is not possible, by the drawing of lots.
Should the Company decide to issue new shares of only series A or series B by way of a cash issue or a set-off issue, all shareholders shall have preferential right to subscribe for the new shares in proportion to their previous shareholdings irrespective of whether they hold series A or series B shares.
Should the Company decide to issue warrants or convertible bonds by way of a cash issue or a set-off issue, all shareholders shall have preferential right to subscribe for warrants as if the issue concerned the shares that may be newly subscribed for pursuant to the warrant and, respectively, preferential right to subscribe for convertible bonds as if the issue concerned the shares that the convertible bonds may be converted into.
The above shall not constitute any restriction in the possibility to resolve on a cash issue or a setoff issue deviating from the shareholders’ preferential rights.
If the share capital is increased by way of a bonus issue, new shares of each series shall be issued in proportion to the previous number of shares of each series. Previous shares of a given series shall thereby entitle the holder to receive new shares of the same series. This shall not constitute any restriction in the possibility to issue new shares of a new series by way of a bonus issue, following the necessary amendments to the articles of association.
Holders of series A shares shall have the right to require that series A shares are converted to series B shares. Request for conversion shall be made in writing to the Board of Directors of the Company. The request shall state the number of shares to be converted and, if the request does not involve the entire holding, which of these are intended for conversion. The Board shall at its regular meetings consider issues regarding received requests for conversion of series A shares to series B shares. However, the Board may, if the Board finds reasons therefore, consider matters regarding conversion also at other times than those stated above. The conversion shall be submitted for registration without delay. The conversion is effected once the registration is completed and it has been noted in the Central Securities Depository Register.
§ 6 – The Board of Directors of the Company shall consist of not less than three and not more than nine members with not more than three deputies.
§ 7 – For the audit of the Company, not less than one and not more than two authorized accounting firms or two auditors with two deputy auditors shall be appointed at a General Meeting.
