On April 28, 2026, Boliden held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Askersund/Zinkgruvan alongside postal voting options for shareholders. This year's meeting addressed several crucial matters including board member elections, financial declarations, and compensation structures.

Board of Directors Election

During the meeting, the shareholders voted overwhelmingly for the re-election of key board members. Notably, Karl-Henrik Sundström was elected to continue as Chairman of the Board, a position he has held with distinction. The returning members include Helene Biström, Tomas Eliasson, Perttu Louhiluoto, Victoire de Margerie, Pia Rudengren, and Derek White. A significant addition this year was the election of Guillaume de Goÿs and Maria Moræus Hanssen as new board members, further diversifying the expertise within the board.

Financial Resolutions and Remuneration

The AGM adopted the income statement and balance sheet for both the parent company and the group. A noteworthy resolution passed was the decision to distribute dividends, amounting to SEK 11.00 per share, to shareholders. The record date for this dividend is set for April 30, 2026, with payments anticipated to be processed by Euroclear Sweden AB on May 6, 2026.

In terms of compensation, the board approved a remuneration structure that allocates SEK 2,200,000 to the Chairman and SEK 735,000 to non-employee board members. Members of the Audit Committee will receive fees of SEK 370,000 for the Chairman and SEK 185,000 for other members, with SEK 100,000 designated for members of the Remuneration Committee.

Approval of Remuneration Guidelines

The meeting also addressed the remuneration report put forth by the board, establishing guidelines for senior executives' compensation. This decision is important for aligning the interests of management with the broader goals of the organization.

Auditor Re-election

In terms of oversight, the auditor, Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), was re-elected for another term. This decision underlines confidence in the firm’s auditing practices and their continued role in ensuring financial accuracy and integrity.

Introduction of the Long-Term Share Savings Program
