2004-11-19 Bulletin from Extra General Meeting of Scania AB, 19 November 2004 At today’s extra general meeting, a clear majority of Scania’s shareholders decided on a public offer to the shareholders of Ainax to acquire all outstanding shares in the company and to issue Series A shares in Scania as consideration of the offer. “The offer aims to settle almost six years of uncertainty regarding the ownership structure of Scania. A long-term, clear and diversified ownership is good for Scania’s shareholders, customers and employees”, says President and CEO Leif Östling.   At the meeting, four of the five largest shareholders in terms of voting power (Volkswagen AG, Investor AB, the Wallenberg Foundations and Alecta) voted in favour of the board’s proposal. Ainax AB abstained from voting.
