Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance at Coffee Stain Group

Coffee Stain Group is a Swedish public limited liability company. Coffee Stain Group’s corporate governance is currently based on Swedish law, Coffee Stain Group’s articles of association and internal guidelines and instructions. Following the listing on Nasdaq First North Premier, the Company will apply Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market’s Rule Book and the Swedish Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”). The Code is based on the “comply or explain” principle. This means that a company that applies the Code may choose to deviate from certain rules, but must then describe its alternative solution and explain the reason for the deviation in its annual corporate governance report. Eventual deviations from the Code are reported in the Coffee Stain Group’s corporate governance report.

Articles of Association

General Meetings

If you as a shareholder want to participate in key decisions concerning the company, the general meeting is the correct forum to do so. It is our highest decision-making body and takes place once a year as the annual general meeting, or as necessary for specific matters on extra general meetings. At the annual general meeting decisions are taken on matters such as financial statements, allocation of the company’s profit/loss, and discharge from liability for board members and the CEO, election of board members and auditors and remuneration to board members and auditors.

In accordance with the Company’s articles of association, convening notices for the annual general meeting and extraordinary general shareholder meetings are made by announcement in the Post- och Inrikes Tidningar (the Swedish Official Gazette) and by making the convening notice available on the Coffee Stain Group website. An announcement that notice has been given is published in Svenska Dagbladet.

All shareholders who are directly registered in the share register maintained by Euroclear five business days before the general meeting and have notified the Company of their intention to participate in the general meeting not later than the date stated in the notice convening the general meeting have the right to attend the general meeting and vote for the number of shares they hold. Shareholders may attend the general shareholder meeting in person or by proxy and may also be accompanied by a maximum of two assistants. Shareholders can normally register for the general shareholder meeting in several different ways stated in the convening notice for the meeting. Shareholders who wish to have a matter brought before the general meeting must submit a written request to the Board of Directors. Such a request must normally be received by the Board of Directors not later than seven weeks prior to the general meeting.

Nomination Committee

The main task of the nomination committee is to promote the interests of all shareholders by preparing and submitting proposals to the annual general meeting and, where applicable, the extraordinary general meeting, on election and remuneration matters.

The nomination committee prepares proposals for:

Chair of the annual general meeting.
Candidates for the post of chair and other members of the board of directors.
Fees and other remuneration for board work to each director.
Fees to members of the board’s committees.
Election and remuneration of the Company’s auditor.
Principles for appointment of the nomination committee.

In addition, the committee must consider the Swedish Corporate Governance Code, including the independence rules applicable to the board of directors and its committees.
