ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF Beijer Alma AB (publ)

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF Beijer Alma AB (publ)

EXTRACT FROM PRESIDENT BERTIL PERSSON’S STATEMENT AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Lesjöfors experienced lower sales and earnings during the first months of the
year, compared with the year-earlier period. The Chassis Spring operation was
the primary unit to experience lower volumes due to the mild winter in Northern
Europe.

Habia began the year with weak order bookings, mainly from telecom customers.
Since February, we have noted an improved market scenario with increased sales
and a positive earnings trend.

Beijer Tech’s invoicing was favorably in line with the preceding year, although
with somewhat lower margins.

Overall, it is reasonable to expect lower earnings during the first half of this
year, compared with the Group’s strong earnings during the corresponding period
in 2011.

RESOLUTIONS PASSED AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The following resolutions were passed by the Annual General Meeting:

  · To approve a dividend for 2012 of SEK 6.00 per share and an extraordinary
dividend of SEK 1.00 per share. The dividend will be distributed by Euroclear
Sweden beginning April 5, 2012.

  · To adopt a fixed annual directors’ fee of SEK 250,000 for each director, not
including the Chairman, who will receive a fixed annual directors’ fee of SEK
600,000 and an annual assignment fee of SEK 300,000. Auditors’ fees will be paid
according to invoicing.

  · The following members of the Board of Directors were re-elected: Carina
Andersson, Marianne Brismar, Anders G. Carlberg, Peter Nilsson, Anders Ullberg,
Anders Wall and Johan Wall. The Annual General Meeting also resolved to re-elect
Bertil Persson, President and CEO, as a Deputy Director.

  · Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers was re-elected as the company’s auditor with
a period in office of one year.

  · Prior to the 2012 Annual General Meeting, the company will apply a
nomination procedure whereby Anders Wall, in his capacity as principal owner and
Chairman of the Board, and Director Johan Wall, as well as three representatives
of the next largest shareholders appointed by the Annual General Meeting, will
form a Nomination Committee and submit proposals concerning the Board of
Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Deputy Chairman, directors’ fees,
auditors’ fees and the Chairman of the next Annual General Meeting. Accordingly,
in addition to the individuals named above, the Annual General Meeting resolved
to appoint Mats Gustafsson (Lannebo Fonder), Henrik Didner (Didner & Gerge) and
Thomas Ehlin (Nordea Fonder) to the Nomination Committee.

  · To amend the Articles of Association to correspond to the new legislative
ordinances concerning official notification of the annual general meeting.

  · To authorize the Board of Directors, disapplying the shareholders’
preferential rights, to make decisions concerning the issue of not more than
3,000,000 new Class B shares or convertible promissory notes exchangeable for
not more than 3,000,000 new Class B shares.

  · To authorize the Board of Directors to resolve on the acquisition and
divestment of the company’s own Class B shares.
