SPECIFIC MEASURES DUE TO THE NEW CORONA VIRUS

Getinge safeguards the health of its shareholders and strives to contribute in the work of limiting the spread of the new corona virus in the best possible way.

The Getinge Board of Directors has decided to take certain precautions in connection with the AGM. The AGM will be conducted in simpler form than prior years and be shortened, however, without limiting in the rights of the shareholders. Among other things, the following precautions in connection with the AGM will be taken:

· pre-voting (postal voting) will be offered to the shareholders;
· no meals nor refreshments will be served at the AGM;
· the number of present Board members, members of Group Management and other employees will be severely limited, and their participation may be limited to video link or telephone. Further, the number of present non-shareholders will be limited.
· no or only very short statements will be left at the AGM. The CEO's speech will be published and available on Getinge's website, www.getinge.com;
· any questions from shareholders will be limited to the items in the agenda.

Getinge monitor the effects of the Corona virus outbreak closely and might, with short notice, have to leave updated information via the website, www.getinge.com.

Getinge urge the shareholders to general caution, to comply with the authorities' recommendations and to take responsibility for preventing the spread of the virus. Getinge emphasizes the importance of that all shareholders consider the possibility to not participate in person at the AGM, and taking advantage of the opportunity to pre-vote or to participate via a representative instead of attending in person (kindly see the below sections "Proxys, etc." and "Pre-voting" for further information regarding this).
