KCI Konecranes: Non Finnish Shareholder AGM Participation Made Easy

New record date for the AGM

According to an amendment in the Finnish Companies Act, the record date is set to ten days prior to the shareholders' meeting, instead of five days. The record date for KCI Konecranes Annual General Meeting is therefore 26 February 2001.

Participation in the Finnish shareholders' meetings made easier for foreign shareholders

The amended Finnish Companies Act has made it easier for foreign shareholders who have their shares registered in a nominee name to participate in the shareholders' meetings of companies belonging to the book-entry securities system. The nominee registered shares of foreign shareholders can remain nominee registered and changes in the shareholdings after the record date do not affect the right to participate in the meeting or the voting rights at the meeting. The foreign shareholders who wish to participate in a shareholders' meeting will temporarily be registered in the shareholder register. Such registration takes place on the record date. For the temporary registration, foreign shareholders whose shares are held in a nominee name should contact their custodian. Opening of a separate book-entry account is not required.

We welcome all our shareholders to participate in our Annual General Meeting.
