  • identification details (e.g. date of birth and ID number);
  • financial information (e.g. voting rights, information regarding holdings and entitlements connected to the holdings);
  • recording of images, photographs, video and sound, to the extent resolved by the GM;
  • if a proxy is appointed, information on who you are representing or are represented by (as relevant);
  • if a shareholder or a proxy gives notice of attendance for assistant(s) to attend the GM, information regarding who you assist or are assisted by (as relevant);

  • information on how you have voted may be processed, e.g. if voting devices are used or vote counting is carried out and to the extent your voting is possible to connect to you based on your holdings (e.g. in some cases a certain number of votes may be connected to a certain number of shares held by you); and
  • notes in the minutes from the GM (e.g. dissenting opinions or when exercising the right as shareholder to propose business at the GM or ask questions).

Our purpose for collecting and processing your personal data is to carry out a GM and providing services in connection therewith as well as to comply with applicable law and regulations.

  1. What are the legal bases for our processing of your personal data? We process your personal data when:
    • it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations; or
    • it is in our legitimate interests to do so, e.g. to maintain adequate security or order at the GM, and such interest is not overridden by your legitimate interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require the protection of personal data.
  2. How long do we keep the personal data?
    Personal data related to the GM is kept for as long as necessary given the purpose of the processing, unless otherwise required or permitted by applicable laws or regulations.
    Personal data that is only required to carry out the GM will normally be deleted shortly after the conclusion of the GM. Personal data regarding attendance, holdings, voting etc. which is processed to carry out and document the GM according to law will be stored as required or permitted by applicable laws or regulations.
    For example, personal data included in the GM share register (your name, address, ID- number and holdings) must be stored for a period of ten years following the GM, in accordance with rules issued by Euroclear Sweden AB. Personal data included in the minutes from the GM will be stored during a period of ten years following the GM, unless storage during a longer period is justified based on the resolutions adopted at the GM or otherwise.
