Approval of the Board of Directors' proposal for a resolution on the sale of all shares in NOTE Tauragé UAB (item 7)
As part of the NOTE action programme implemented in 2010, production was transferred from NOTE Tauragé UAB, Lithuania, to other group units. Production at Tauragé was closed at year-end 2010. To accelerate the closure of this legal entity, an agreement has been signed to sell all shares in NOTE Tauragé UAB. The company owns the property where production was previously conducted. The buyers are two private individuals, one of whom, Virginijus Liepis, is the company's CEO. His employment with NOTE ends in the second quarter 2011.
The sale is expected to have a limited positive impact on NOTE's operating profit. The Board of Directors considers that this sale is the most cost-efficient way of completing the divestment of NOTE Tauragé UAB, and ownership of the company's property.
The extraordinary general meeting is thus prompted by the provisions of Chapter 16 of the Companies Act, the so-called Lex Leo.
Documents for the General Meeting
The complete proposals of the Board of Directors and other documents required by the Swedish Companies Act will be available at the company's offices at Vendevägen 85 A in Danderyd from 31 May 2011. The documents will be sent to shareholders who so request and state their postal address or e-mail address.
