Annual General Meeting FAQs
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about Verisure’s Annual General Meeting
Verisure plc is a company incorporated in the UK, listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. This results in a combined governance framework.
As a company incorporated in the United Kingdom, Verisure plc is governed by the requirements set by the UK Companies Act 2006 and other legally binding legislation governing UK companies. As a company listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Verisure is also governed by certain Swedish laws and regulations, for example the Nasdaq Stockholm Rulebook, the Swedish Securities Market Act and the Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act.
Verisure has also elected to follow the Swedish Corporate Governance Code, to the extent consistent with the UK legislation and related practice. Under the Swedish Code’s “comply or explain” principle, companies may deviate from individual rules, provided the reasons are transparently explained. Verisure materially complies with the Swedish Corporate Governance Code, and the two deviations during 2025 related to its UK entity structure have been explained in the corporate governance report that forms part of the 2025 Annual Report, available on Verisure’s website: www.verisure.com/annual-general-meeting.
The combined UK and Swedish corporate governance structure is explained in detail in the Annual Report 2025 and in Verisure’s IPO prospectus, each available on Verisure’s website: www.verisure.com/investors.
Verisure’s AGM 2026 will be held on 23 April 2026 at 15:00 (CEST) at Grand Hôtel in Stockholm, Sweden. Shareholders are welcome to register at the venue from 14:00 (CEST).
Verisure’s AGM 2026 will be conducted in accordance with UK company law, the Swedish Corporate Governance Code (unless otherwise explained) and other applicable laws and regulations.
The agenda items for Verisure’s AGM are similar to those set by requirements and practice for Swedish incorporated companies, with certain differences where required or appropriate based on the UK incorporation.
In addition to the proposed resolutions for the AGM to resolve upon, as set out in the notice, addresses will be held by the Chair of the Board, the CEO, the Chair of the Nomination Committee and the Auditor.
Shareholders are welcome to ask questions ahead of and at the AGM.
The AGM will be held in part in Swedish, with the proposed Chair of the AGM leading the meeting in Swedish, and in part in English, with addresses by the other presenters in English. Simultaneous translation, from Swedish to English and English to Swedish, will be available at the venue and via the webcast.
The notice of the AGM, together with the 2025 Annual Report and other documents, have been published on the AGM 2026 dedicated page on Verisure’s website: www.verisure.com/annual-general-meeting. If you want to receive hard copies of the documentation, you may request so and inform us of your postal address via e-mail to [email protected].
You should give notice of participation no later than 21 April 2026 at 15:00 CEST. The notification can be made by e-mail to [email protected] or by post to Verisure plc, “AGM 2026”, c/o Euroclear Sweden AB, Box 191, SE-101 23 Stockholm, Sweden, or by telephone to + 46 (0) 8 402 91 33.
If you (i) are an individual with a Swedish personal identity number; or (ii) represent a legal entity with an authorised representative with a Swedish personal identity number, you may also make the notification online, via: www.euroclear.com/sweden/generalmeetings/.
When giving notice of participation, please state the shareholder’s name, personal identity number or corporate registration number, address, telephone number and e-mail address.
To be able to attend and vote at the AGM, you need to be recorded in the register of shareholders kept by Euroclear Sweden AB on 15 April 2026. If your shares are held in the name of a nominee, you also need to have registered the shares in your own name by 17 April 2026 (so-called voting right registration). To request voting right registration, contact your nominee well in advance of this date.
If you hold your shares directly on the register maintained by CREST in the UK, you instead need to be recorded in the register of shareholders kept by CREST and Computershare UK on 21 April 2026 at 18:30 CEST (17:30 BST) to be able to attend and vote at the AGM (in person or by proxy).
The two different record dates reflect that Euroclear Sweden AB is the registered holder of shares on behalf of shareholders in accordance with Article 47 of Verisure’s Articles of Association. The record date of 15 April 2026 for shareholders holding shares through Euroclear Sweden AB reflects the operational requirements of the Swedish depository system. The record date of 21 April 2026 for shareholders holding shares directly on Verisure’s register of members or through CREST complies with section 360B(2) of the UK Companies Act 2006.
Yes, you can ask questions at the AGM as a shareholder and we indeed welcome questions from our shareholders.1
We also encourage shareholders to ask questions ahead of the AGM. Shareholders can submit questions in advance by e-mail to [email protected].
Additionally, the CEO, members of the board and other Verisure representatives will be available for questions after the AGM.
1Under section 319A of the UK Companies Act 2006, shareholders have the right to ask questions at the AGM relating to the business of the AGM and to have those questions answered. However, the Company is not obliged to answer a question where: (i) answering would interfere unduly with the business of the AGM; (ii) the answer would involve the disclosure of confidential information; (iii) the answer has already been published on the Company's website; and/or (iv) it is not in the interests of the Company or for the good order of the AGM to answer it.
There are two options available to a shareholder for voting at the AGM – in person or by proxy.
A shareholder who is a natural person may participate and vote in person at the AGM venue. The shareholder may also appoint another person, for example the Chair of the AGM, to act as its proxy and vote on behalf of the shareholder at the AGM venue. The proxy appointment may be accompanied by voting instructions or by proxy holder discretion.
A shareholder who is a legal person may be represented by an authorised representative to vote on behalf of the shareholder at the AGM venue, in which case a copy of an up-to-date certificate of registration (or the equivalent) must be presented to support the representative’s authority. The shareholder may also appoint another person, for example the Chair of the AGM, to act as its proxy and vote on behalf of the shareholder at the AGM venue. The proxy appointment may be accompanied by voting instructions or by proxy holder discretion.
Voting devices will be used to facilitate voting at the AGM venue for shareholders and any proxies.
Advance voting ahead of the AGM is not possible for Verisure plc as a UK incorporated company. Instead, a shareholder may appoint for example the AGM chair (or another person, if specified) to act as its proxy. Such proxy appointment may be accompanied by voting instructions or by proxy holder discretion. A form for appointment of a proxy and voting instructions is available here: www.verisure.com/annual-general-meeting.
It will be possible to follow the AGM via a webcasting link available on Verisure’s website: www.verisure.com/annual-general-meeting. Shareholders participating via webcast will not be able to exercise voting or other shareholder rights, including asking questions.
Verisure's Nomination Committee is responsible for preparing proposals regarding the election of the chair of the AGM, board members and the chair of the board as well as any amendments to the instructions for the Nomination Committee.
Given that Verisure must comply with the requirements of the UK Companies Act 2006, there are a few differences in the role of its Nomination Committee compared to common practice in Sweden, which results in two deviations from the Swedish Corporate Governance Code. Firstly, as required by the UK Companies Act 2006, board remuneration is governed by a shareholder-approved Remuneration Policy proposed by the board, based on recommendations from the Remuneration Committee, and, hence, is not proposed by the Nomination Committee. Secondly, in line with UK market practice, auditor appointments and fees are proposed by the board, based on recommendations from the Audit and Risk Committee, and not by the Nomination Committee.
Ahead of the AGM 2026, the Nomination Committee has held three meetings at which minutes were recorded, with additional interactions by telephone and e-mail. Shareholders have been able to submit proposals to the Nomination Committee.
The Nomination Committee has not received any proposals from any shareholders. The Nomination Committee was also engaged in the lead up to the announcement by Verisure on 3 February 2026 of the appointment of Cecilia Beck-Friis as a director of the board, an appointment which they endorsed given that it would bring yet another strong director independent of Verisure and its executive management as well as of Verisure’s major shareholders.
All board members, including the chair of the board, are elected annually at the AGM, based on proposals from the Nomination Committee.
As is common for UK incorporated companies, Verisure’s board also retains the ability to appoint directors on an interim basis. Any such appointment must be made in accordance with the recommendations of the Nomination Committee in accordance with the Nomination Committee Instructions. Any such interim appointments are also subject to the approval of Verisure’s shareholders at the next AGM.
Additionally, the Nomination Committee proposes that the AGM 2026 resolves to approve an amendment to the Nomination Committee Instructions, to reflect that the Board going forward will only under exceptional circumstances use its powers to appoint a director in the interim period between AGMs. The Board supports this amendment and has separately resolved to only use its powers to appoint Directors under exceptional circumstances, in accordance with the Nomination Committee Instructions.
Verisure is obliged to comply with applicable minimum majority requirements set by UK company law.
Most proposed resolutions require more than 50% of the votes cast at the AGM to be approved, while resolutions on authorisations to the board to purchase own shares and to disapply pre-emption rights in connection with an issuance of new shares, respectively, require at least 75% of the votes cast (which is higher than the applicable Swedish majority requirements for such resolutions) at the AGM to be approved.
The resolutions adopted at the AGM will be announced by way of press release as soon as possible after the AGM.
The detailed results, including the majority achieved on each agenda item, and the minutes of the AGM, will also be published on Verisure’s website in due course after the AGM.
Yes, shareholders have been able to submit proposals ahead of the publication of the notice that then – when certain conditions are met – will need to be reflected in the notice and/or at the AGM. No shareholder proposals have been received as of publication of the notice.
Under sections 338 and 338A of the UK Companies Act 2006, shareholders who meet the relevant threshold requirements may request the Company to: (i) circulate notice of a resolution which may properly be moved and is intended to be moved at the AGM to all members entitled to receive notice of the AGM; and/or (ii) include in the business to be dealt with at the AGM any matter (other than a proposed resolution) which may properly be included in the business. Any such resolution must not, if passed, be ineffective, and must not be defamatory, frivolous or vexatious.
For the Company to be required to include a resolution or matter on the AGM agenda, sufficient requests must be received in accordance with section 338(3) and/or section 338A(3) of the UK Companies Act 2006. This requires either: (a) a minimum of 100 shareholders who have the right to vote on the proposed resolution and/or at the AGM and who hold shares in the Company on which an average sum of at least £100 per member has been paid up; or (b) shareholders representing at least 5% of the total voting rights of the Company. Any such request must be submitted in the manner detailed in sections 338 and 338A of the UK Companies Act 2006.
