Industrivärden's Annual General Meeting was held on May 9, 2016, at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, at which the following resolutions were made, among other things.
- The Annual General Meeting set the dividend at SEK 5.00 per share (6.25). The record date for payment of the dividend was set at May 11, 2016. Dividends are expected to be paid out via Euroclear Sweden AB on May 16, 2016.
- Pär Boman, Christian Caspar, Bengt Kjell, Nina Linander, Fredrik Lundberg, Annika Lundius and Lars Pettersson were re-elected as directors on Industrivärden's board. Helena Stjernholm was elected as a new board member. Fredrik Lundberg was re-elected as Chairman of the Board.
- The Annual General Meeting resolved to re-elect PricewaterhouseCoopers AB as auditing firm.
- The Annual General Meeting voted in favor of the Board's proposal for a long-term share savings program for employees of the Industrivärden Group. The share savings program makes up the form of long-term variable salary and corresponds in its basic design to the programs approved by the 2012-2015 Annual General Meetings, but differs from these programs by implementing performance criteria as a condition for maximum allotment.
- Proposals by the shareholder Thorwald Arvidsson were rejected by the Annual General Meeting.
