Participation in the Annual General Meeting at the venue
A shareholder who wishes to participate in the Annual General Meeting at the venue in person or represented by a proxy must (i) be recorded as a shareholder in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB relating to the circumstances on Tuesday April 28, 2026, and (ii) no later than Thursday April 30, 2026 give notice by post to BICO Group AB (publ), AGM 2026, Grafiska vägen 2B, SE-412 63 Gothenburg, Sweden or via e-mail to ir@bico.com. When providing such notice, the shareholder shall state name, personal or corporate registration number, address, telephone number and the number of any accompanying assistant(s) (maximum two assistants) as well as information about any proxy.
If a shareholder is represented by proxy, a written, dated power of attorney signed by the shareholder for the representative must be issued. The power of attorney may not be older than one year, unless a longer period is specified in the power of attorney (maximum five years). A proxy form is available on the Company’s website, www.bico.com, and will be sent by post to shareholders who so request and provide their postal address. If the proxy is issued by a legal entity, a certificate of registration or equivalent certificate of authority should be enclosed. To facilitate the registration at the Annual General Meeting, the proxy and the certificate of registration or equivalent certificate of authority should be sent to the Company as set out above so that it is received no later than Thursday April 30, 2026.
Participation by postal voting
A shareholder who wishes to participate in the Annual General Meeting by postal voting must (i) be recorded as a shareholder in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB relating to the circumstances on Tuesday April 28, 2026, and (ii) give notice no later than Thursday April 30, 2026, by casting its postal vote in accordance with the instructions below so that the postal vote is received by BICO Group AB (publ) no later than on that day.
A shareholder who wishes to participate in the Annual General Meeting at the venue in person or represented by a proxy must give notice thereof in accordance with what is set out under “Participation in the Annual General Meeting at the venue” above. This means that a notification by postal vote is not sufficient for a person who wishes to participate at the venue.
A special form shall be used when postal voting. The postal voting form is available on the Company’s website www.bico.com. A completed and signed form may be submitted by post to BICO Group AB (publ), AGM 2026, Grafiska vägen 2B, SE-412 63 Gothenburg or via e-mail to ir@bico.com. The completed form shall be received by BICO Group AB (publ) not later than Thursday April 30, 2026. 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 form for postal voting.
If a shareholder votes by proxy, a written, dated power of attorney signed by the shareholder for the representative shall be enclosed to the postal voting form. The power of attorney may not be older than one year, unless a longer period is specified in the power of attorney (maximum five years). A proxy form is available on the Company’s website www.bico.com, and will be sent by post to shareholders who so request and provide their postal address. If the shareholder is a legal entity, a certificate of registration or equivalent certificate of authority should be enclosed. If a shareholder has voted in postal and then attends the Annual General Meeting in person or through a proxy, the postal vote is still valid except to the extent the shareholder participates in a voting procedure at the Annual General Meeting or otherwise withdraws its casted postal vote. If the shareholder chooses to participate in a voting at the Annual General Meeting, the vote cast will replace the postal vote with regard to the relevant item on the agenda.
Nominee-registered shares
To be entitled to participate in the Annual General Meeting, a shareholder whose shares are held in the name of a nominee must, in addition to providing notification of participation, register its shares in its own name so that the shareholder is recorded in the share register relating to the circumstances on Tuesday April 28, 2026. 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. Voting right registrations completed by the nominee not later than Thursday April 30, 2026, are taken into account when preparing the share register.

Moreover, the Nomination Committee’s motivated statement is available at the Company’s above address, as well as at www.bico.com, from the date of this notice.
