Due to the continuing coronavirus pandemic, the Board has decided that the Annual General Meeting should be conducted only through postal voting in accordance with temporary legislation. It will not be possible for shareholders to attend the Annual General Meeting in person or by way of a proxy holder.
Information on the resolutions adopted by the Annual General Meeting will be disclosed on 29 April 2021, as soon as the outcome of the postal voting has been finally confirmed.
A presentation by Kinnevik’s Chief Executive Officer, Georgi Ganev, and short introductions by the new Chairman of the Board proposed by the Nomination Committee, James Anderson, and the new Board member proposed by the Nomination Committee, Harald Mix, will be available on this page in connection with the Annual General Meeting.
The Zalando Distribution
The Annual General Meeting will be held to, inter alia, vote on the Board of Kinnevik’s proposal to distribute Kinnevik's shareholding in Zalando SE to the shareholders. More information about the proposed distribution, including an information brochure with detailed instructions, is available below and on our dedicated Zalando Distribution page.

Such re-registration may be temporary ("voting rights registration") and can be requested from the nominee in accordance with the nominee’s procedures in such time in advance as the nominee determines. Voting rights registrations effected no later than the second banking day after 21 April 2021 will be considered in the presentation of the share register.
