At ICA Gruppen's Extraordinary General Meeting held today 14 October 2024, the Meeting decided to adopt a new Articles of Association in accordance with the Board's proposal whereby among other things a new share class will be introduced (ordinary Class F shares, "F shares"). The Extraordinary General Meeting also decided to authorise the Board to make a decision on a new issue of F shares up to a total subscription amount of a maximum of SEK 3 billion. ICA Gruppen intends later in 2024 to submit an invitation to subscribe for F shares to ICA-handlarnas Förbund and its members in Sweden. The new F shares will not be submitted for trading or listed on a regulated marketplace or other trading platform.  

The background to the offering of F shares is to create additional incentives for continued development of ICA Gruppen and thereby secure a continued broad customer offering and presence throughout the country. The issue of F shares in the offering will also contribute to reducing ICA Gruppen's level of debt.
