A shareholder may attend and vote at the meeting in person or by proxy. Any shareholder wishing to attend a general meeting must notify SKF at the latest by the day specified in the notice of the General Meeting. A person designated in the register as a nominee (including the depositary of the ADRs), is not entitled to vote at a General Meeting, nor is a beneficial owner whose share is registered in the name of a nominee (including the depositary of the ADRs) unless the beneficial owner first arranges to have such owner's own name entered in the register of shareholders on the record date. Under the Swedish companies Act, resolutions are normally passed by a simple majority of votes case. Exceptions include: (i) resolutions to waive shareholder preferential rights in connection with an issue of new shares or to reduce the share capital or to approve a merger, each of which require a qualified two-third majority of the votes cast as well as at least two-thirds of the shares represented at the general meeting; (ii) resolutions which restrict the transferability of shares, or limit the number of shares in respect of which a single shareholder may vote, or which deal with certain other special matters, in which case a minimum quorum and a larger majority or in some cases unanimity, is required; (iii) resolutions which alter the Articles in other respects, for which a majority consisting of at least two-thirds of the shares represented at the meeting and of the votes cast is required; (iv) resolutions whereby the legal rights of certain shares would be adversely affected for which, in addition to (iii) above, the approval of all holders of such shares represented at the meeting and representing at least nine-tenths of all such shares is required; and (v) resolutions whereby the legal rights of an entire class of shares would be adversely affected, for which, in addition to (iii) above, the approval of the holders of at least half of all the shares of such class and of nine-tenths of the shares of such class represented at the meeting is required.
