According to legislation, all publicly listed companies must - if
during a month there is a change in the number of shares or votes -
publish the total number of shares and votes in the company on the
last day of trading in the month the change was made. In April 2008
240 A shares in Ratos were converted to B shares, which affect the
total number of votes.
Since the 2003 Annual General Meeting there is a conversion clause
allowing conversion of A to B shares in the articles of association.
This means that owners of A shares have an ongoing right to convert
them to B shares.
After the latest conversion in April the total number of A shares in
Ratos is 42 328 530 (78% of the votes) and the number of B shares is
119 020 722 (22% of the votes). The total number of votes is
54 230 602.
