LINKÖPING, Sweden, Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of shareholders in the international medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra AB (STO: SECT B) was held on September 8, 2020 in Linköping, Sweden. The AGM resolved to transfer SEK 4.50 per share to the shareholders, in total SEK 173.3 million, through a share redemption program. Other resolutions included the re-election of all current Board members, the election of Fredrik Robertsson as a new Board member, and election of Ernst & Young AB as the new public accounting firm.

The redemption procedure is automatic, meaning that no action is required from the shareholders. It will, however, be possible to trade in Series B redemption shares (ISIN SECT IL B: SE0014609087) on Nasdaq Stockholm.

The timetable for the 2020 redemption procedure is as follows:

  • October 5: First day of trading in Sectra shares after the split (ISIN SECT B: SE0014609061), excluding the right to redemption shares.
  • October 6: Record date for the share split. Every share will be divided into two shares, of which one will be a redemption share and one an ordinary share.

  • October 20: Record date for redemption of the redemption shares.
  • October 23: Preliminary date for payment of redemption settlement via Euroclear Sweden.
