Sectra's 2026 Annual General Meeting Highlights

On September 8, 2026, Sectra, the leading international company specializing in medical imaging IT and cybersecurity, held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) to outline significant updates regarding its operations and shareholder benefits. The meeting, attended by shareholders and board members, set forth important resolutions that underscore the company's commitment to its stakeholders.

Dividend Distribution

One of the most notable decisions made during the AGM was the approval of dividend distributions for shareholders. The company will issue an ordinary dividend of SEK 1.30 per share alongside an extraordinary dividend of SEK 1.00 per share, culminating in a total payout of SEK 2.30 per share. This demonstrates Sectra’s ongoing commitment to sharing its success with its investors. The record date to qualify for these dividends is set for September 10, 2026, with payments expected to be processed by September 15, 2026, through Euroclear Sweden AB.

Board Elections

The AGM also saw the re-election of several key board members, ensuring the continuity of experienced leadership. Jan-Olof Brüer, Birgitta Hagenfeldt, Torbjörn Kronander, Anders Persson, Tomas Puusepp, Fredrik Robertsson, and Ulrika Unell were confirmed as board members. Additionally, Joel Kronander and Michael Brüer were newly elected to the board, reinforcing the team with fresh perspectives. Jan-Olof Brüer continues to serve as the Chairman of the Board, providing stability and experience, which are vital for Sectra's strategic direction.

The company retained Ernst & Young AB as its auditor, appointing Andreas Troberg as the Auditor in Charge. This decision reflects the company’s pursuit of effective and transparent financial practices.

Director Fees

Compensation for board members was also addressed. Director fees were established at SEK 370,000 for external board members and SEK 740,000 for the Chairman. Additional fees were set for participation in various committees, ensuring that remuneration aligns with the responsibilities held by board members.

New Long-Term Incentive Program

In a strategic move to foster employee performance and satisfaction, the AGM introduced a new long-term incentive program called LTIP 2026. This program aims to motivate up to 1,500 employees through performance-based incentives. Should the program reach full allotment, it will require up to 1,000,000 shares of Series B. This is part of Sectra’s broader strategy to enhance employee engagement while contributing to organizational growth.

Moreover, provisions were established to repurpose shares acquired from earlier incentive programs if not utilized, allowing for adaptability in fulfilling LTIP 2026 and assuring that the program's benefits can be maximized without excessive overhead.

Financial Initiatives and Shareholder Engagement

The AGM also authorized the board to manage treasury shares effectively, ensuring that no more than 10% of shares are held for incentive program fulfilment. This allows Sectra to maintain flexibility in its financial strategies, including facilitating acquisitions and enhancing its capital structure.

Furthermore, the Board received authorization to issue up to 18,500,000 Class B shares, which can potentially be used for various financial maneuvers including acquisitions, thus enabling Sectra to remain agile in a competitive landscape.

Conclusion

The 2026 AGM of Sectra marked a pivotal moment in reinforcing the company’s dedication to its shareholders through strategic dividends, professional board governance, and innovative employee incentive programs. The outlined resolutions reflect Sectra's commitment to sustained growth and robust financial management, paving the way for a prosperous future.
