HELSINKI, March 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Stora Enso is
offering a possibility to follow its Annual General Meeting (AGM)
via webcast as a precautionary measure to decrease any risk of
infection of the new COVID-19 coronavirus.
The company strongly encourages any shareholders who
a. have recently visited a
risk area for coronavirus infection,
b. have symptoms of illness,
c. or who are part of the risk group,
to consider following the AGM by webcast or authorizing another
person to represent them at the meeting.
Shareholders, who have registered for the event, but who decide
not to attend the meeting, are asked to cancel their registration
by e-mail agm@storaenso.com or by phone +358-204-621-245. The AGM
will be held on Thursday 19 March
2020 from 16:00 EET. Doors
will open at 15:30 EET and
shareholders will be asked to go directly to meeting hall after
registration.
Stora Enso's private shareholders can follow the AGM by webcast.
Please note that this means the shareholder's shares are not
considered to have attended the meeting. It is not possible to
speak or vote over the webcast. To follow the webcast, shareholders
need to sign in with a Finnish bank ID or Finnish mobile
certificate. The meeting language is Finnish, and some of the
speeches are held in English. Simultaneous interpretation or
subtitles are not available over the webcast.
More information on following the AGM via webcast and authorizing
another person is available on the company website.
Stora Enso aims to keep the meeting as short as possible,
fulfilling all legal requirements. That is why no refreshments will
be served after the meeting and there will be no product displays
prior to the meeting. Stora Enso follows the development relating
to coronavirus and will take additional measures if needed. With
these precautionary measures, Stora Enso aims at contributing to a
safe environment. In normal circumstances about 300 shareholders
attend Stora Enso's Annual General Meetings.
