STOCKHOLM, Sweden, March 25, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- The executive board of Mandamus decided the 21st of March to move forward the company's Annual General Meeting, earlier scheduled to April 25, 2002.
The two most important reasons for this was:
I. The nomination committee, appointed by last year's annual general meeting, has not succeeded in putting forward a composition of the executive board, which all of the company's big shareholders can accept. The nomination committee has therefore asked for more time in order to come forward with a new proposal.
II. The biggest individual shareholder, Akelius Insurance Ltd, does not accept the board's proposal of share dividends of 4.25 kr per share. Akelius does not want the payments of share dividends to take place at all.
The executive board has now decided that the Annual General Meeting of Mandamus will be held Monday, June 10, 2002, at 5 p.m., in Folkets Hus, Barnhusgatan 14, Stockholm.
Shareholders wishing to attend the AGM must have their names entered in the share register (kept by the Securities Register Center (VPC AB)), by May 31, 2002 and no later than Tuesday, April 4, 2002 at 1 p.m. to notify the company of their intention to attend the AGM.
