Industrivärden's Annual General Meeting was held on May 7, 2013, at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, whereby the following resolutions were made, among other things.
- The Annual General Meeting set the dividend at SEK 5.00 per share (4.50). The record date for payment of the dividend was set at May 13. Dividends are expected to be paid out via Euroclear Sweden AB on May 16.
- Christian Caspar, Boel Flodgren, Stuart Graham, Fredrik Lundberg, Sverker Martin-Löf and Anders Nyrén were re-elected as directors on Industrivärden's board. Hans Larsson had declined re-election. Pär Boman was elected as new director on the Board. Pär Boman (born 1961) has been serving as President and CEO of Handelsbanken since 2006, where he has held a number of positions since 1991. Per Boman is also a board member of SCA and the Swedish Bankers’ Association. Sverker Martin-Löf was re-elected as Chairman of the Board.
- The Annual General Meeting voted in favour of the Board's proposal to introduce a long-term share savings program for a combined maximum of 28 employees of the Industrivärden Group. The program covers a maximum of 150,000 Industrivärden Class C shares. The share savings program is a form of long-term variable salary and corresponds in its construction to the program approved by the 2012 Annual General Meeting. The program is part of an overall, market-based compensation package in which the employees receive matching shares after three years provided that they have invested a certain portion of their fixed salary in Industrivärden shares and are still employed at the time of the matching. The program aims to encourage equity ownership among Industrivärden's employees and thereby emphasizes long-term shareholder value.
