Annual General Meeting of Lundin Energy AB 30 March 2021
The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) of Lundin Energy AB (Lundin Energy or the Company) was held online today, Tuesday 30 March 2021.
As a consequence of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Directors decided to hold the Annual General Meeting as a virtual meeting combined with an option to vote by post in advance of the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Swedish Act on Temporary Exemptions to Facilitate the Execution of General Meetings in Companies and Associations (SFS 2020:198).
The Company's and the Group's income statements and balance sheets for the financial year 2020, were adopted and the members of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer were discharged from liability for the financial year 2020.
The AGM resolved that a dividend for the 2020 financial year in the amount of USD 1.80 per share should be paid in equal quarterly instalments. Before payment, each quarterly dividend of USD 0.45 per share shall be converted into a SEK amount based on the USD to SEK exchange rate published by Sweden’s central bank (Riksbanken) four business days prior to each record date (rounded off to the nearest whole SEK 0.01 per share). The final USD equivalent amount received by the shareholders may therefore slightly differ depending on what the USD to SEK exchange rate is on the date of the dividend payment. The SEK amount per share to be distributed each quarter will be announced in a press release four business days prior to each record date.
The key dates for the quarterly dividends are set out in the table below.
Conversion date | Ex-dividend date | Record date | Expected payment date |
26 March 2021 | 31 March 2021 | 1 April 2021 | 8 April 2021 |
28 June 2021 | 1 July 2021 | 2 July 2021 | 7 July 2021 |
28 September 2021 | 1 October 2021 | 4 October 2021 | 7 October 2021 |
29 December 2021 | 4 January 2022 | 5 January 2022 | 11 January 2022 |

The AGM resolved that auditor's fees shall be paid upon approval of their invoice. Ernst & Young AB was re-elected as the auditor of the Company for a period until the 2022 AGM.
Further, the AGM resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposals:
to approve the long-term incentive plan (LTIP) 2021 for members of Group Management and a number of key employees, which gives the participants the possibility to receive shares in Lundin Energy, subject to uninterrupted employment and the fulfilment of a performance condition over a three year performance period. The performance condition is based on the share price growth and dividends (Total Shareholder Return) of the Lundin Energy share, compared to the Total Shareholder Return of a peer group of companies. The total number of performance shares under LTIP 2021 as at the date of award may not exceed 450,000 and the maximum cost for granting awards under LTIP 2021, excluding costs related to delivery of the performance shares, is approximately USD 8.9 million (approximately SEK 74.5 million), excluding social security charges. The total 2021 LTIP cost assumes Lundin Energy share price of SEK 273.50 as of 24 February 2021;
to approve delivery of treasury shares held by the Company to the participants, under the 2021 Long-term, Performance-based Incentive Plan, subject to applicable terms and conditions;
to approve an extraordinary cash compensation to a Board member, equally the former CEO;
to authorise the Board of Directors to issue new shares and/or convertible debentures corresponding to in total not more than 28,500,000 new shares, with or without the application of the shareholders pre-emption rights, in order to enable the Company to make business acquisitions or other major investments; and
to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on repurchases and sales of shares in Lundin Energy on Nasdaq Stockholm, where the number of shares repurchased shall be limited so that shares held in treasury from time to time do not exceed ten percent of all outstanding shares of the Company.
The two shareholder proposals which were put to the meeting by a minority shareholder, were both rejected by the shareholders at the AGM.
