A shareholder who wishes to participate in the extraordinary general meeting at the venue in person or represented by proxy must give notice thereof in accordance with what is set out under Participation by attending the meeting venue above. This means that a notification by postal voting is not sufficient for a person who wishes to participate at the venue.

The completed voting form must be received by Euroclear Sweden AB no later than 5 December 2024.

Shareholders may also cast their postal votes electronically through BankID verification via Scandic's website www.scandichotelsgroup.com. The shareholder may not provide special instructions or conditions in the voting form. If so, the vote (i.e. the postal vote in its entirety) is invalid. Further instructions and conditions are included in the postal voting form.

If a shareholder votes by proxy, a written and dated proxy shall be enclosed with the postal voting form. Proxy forms are available on the Company's website www.scandichotelsgroup.com. If the shareholder is a legal entity, a certificate of registration or an equivalent certificate of authority should be enclosed. If a shareholder votes in advance, and then attends the extraordinary general meeting in person or by proxy, the postal vote is still valid except to the extent the shareholder casts votes during the extraordinary general meeting or otherwise withdraws their casted postal vote. If the shareholder chooses to participate in a voting during the extraordinary general meeting, the submitted postal vote will be replaced by the vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Nominee-registered shares

To be entitled to participate in the extraordinary general meeting, in addition to providing notification of participation, a shareholder whose shares are held in the name of a nominee must register their shares in their own name so that the shareholder is recorded in the share register as of 3 December 2024. Such registration may be temporary (so-called voting right registration) and is requested from the nominee in accordance with the nominee's procedures and in such time in advance as the nominee determines.

ELECTION OF A CHAIR OF THE MEETING (ITEM 2)

The board of directors proposes that Tone Myhre-Jensen, lawyer at Cederquist law firm, is elected to be the chair of the extraordinary general meeting.
