-general-meeting)). A power of attorney issued by a representative of a legal
entity must also be accompanied by a registration certificate or corresponding
authorisation documents.

Shareholders who wish to attend the AGM at the meeting venue in person or by
proxy must give notice of their attendance to the Bank in accordance with the
instructions under "Participation in person or by proxy" above. This means that
a notice of attendance by advance voting only is not enough for a shareholder
who wants to attend the AGM at the meeting venue in person or by proxy.

Nominee-registered shares

To be able to participate in the AGM (including via advance voting), any
shareholders whose shares are nominee-registered (in a custody account) via a
bank or other nominee must temporarily re-register the shares in his/her own
name in the register of shareholders kept by Euroclear Sweden AB (so called
"registration of shares for voting rights"). Shareholders must notify the
nominee of this in good time. Registrations of shares for voting rights that
have been requested by shareholders in such time as to be completed by the
nominee no later than Thursday, 19 March 2026 will be taken into account when
the register of shareholders is prepared. Shareholders must also give notice of
their attendance in accordance with the "Conditions for participation in the
meeting" section.
