Holders of nominee-registered shares

A holder of nominee-registered shares has the right to participate in the General Meeting by virtue of such shares based on which they would be entitled to be registered in the shareholders' register of the Company held by Euroclear Finland Oy on the record date of the General Meeting, 13 March 2024. In addition, the right to participate in the General Meeting requires that the shareholder, on the basis of such shares, has been temporarily registered into the shareholders’ register held by Euroclear Finland Oy by 10:00 a.m. (EET) on 20 March 2024 at the latest. For the nominee-registered shares, this constitutes due registration for the General Meeting. Any changes in the ownership of shares that have occurred after the record date of the General Meeting do not affect the right to participate in the General Meeting nor the number of votes of the shareholder at the General Meeting.

A holder of nominee-registered shares is advised to request well in advance the necessary instructions regarding the temporary registration in the shareholders' register of the Company, the issuing of proxy documents, voting instructions and registration for the General Meeting as well as advance voting from their custodian bank. The account management organisation of the custodian bank shall temporarily register the holder of the nominee-registered shares who wishes to participate in the General Meeting into the shareholders' register of the Company by the time stated above at the latest, and, as applicable, take care of the advance voting on behalf of the holder of the nominee-registered shares within the registration period. Please note that holders of nominee-registered shares cannot directly register for the General Meeting online on this page, but must register via their custodian bank instead.

Proxy representatives and powers of attorney

A shareholder may participate in the General Meeting and exercise their rights at the meeting also by way of third-party proxy representation. A proxy representative shall provide a dated proxy document or otherwise in a reliable manner demonstrate their right to represent the shareholder at the General Meeting. If a shareholder participates in the General Meeting by means of several proxy representatives representing the shareholder with shares in different securities accounts, the shares with which each proxy representative represents the shareholder shall be identified in connection with the registration for the General Meeting. 

The proxy documents, if any, should be notified in connection with the registration, and they should be submitted to the Company by email addressed to agm [at] fortum [dot] com (agm[at]fortum[dot]com), or by regular mail addressed to Fortum Corporation, Corporate Legal Affairs/AGM, P.O. Box 100, 00048 FORTUM, Finland no later than by the end of the registration period, by which time the proxy documents must have been received by the Company. In addition to submitting the proxy documents, the shareholder or their proxy representative must make sure to register for the General Meeting in accordance with the instructions provided herein.

Shareholders that are legal entities can also use the electronic Suomi.fi authorisation service in Euroclear Finland’s general meeting service for authorising their proxies, instead of using the traditional proxy authorisation. In this case, the shareholder that is a legal entity authorises a representative appointed by it in the Suomi.fi service at www.suomi.fi/e-authorizations (using the authorisation topic “Representation at the General Meeting”). When registering, the representative must identify themselves with strong electronic authentication in Euroclear Finland’s general meeting service, after which the electronic mandate is automatically checked. The strong electronic authentication works with personal banking credentials or a mobile certificate. For more information, see www.suomi.fi/e-authorizations.

Instructions on electronic advance voting service

Shareholders with a Finnish book-entry account may vote in advance on certain matters on the agenda of the General Meeting during the period from 7 February 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (EET) until 20 March 2024 at 10:00 p.m. (EET). Advance votes will be taken into account if the ownership is entered into the shareholders' register of the Company held by Euroclear Finland Oy on the record date of the General Meeting, 13 March 2024.

A shareholder who has voted in advance may only request information under the Finnish Companies Act, request a vote at the General Meeting or vote on a possible counterproposal, if they are present at the General Meeting.

For natural persons, electronic advance voting requires secure strong electronic authentication, and a shareholder may register and vote by logging in using their personal Finnish online banking credentials or a mobile certificate.

For shareholders that are legal entities, electronic advance voting does not require strong electronic authentication. However, the shareholder shall provide the number of its Finnish book entry account and other information required. If a shareholder that is a legal entity chooses to use the electronic Suomi.fi authorisation service further described above, the registration requires strong electronic authentication, which works with personal online banking credentials or a mobile certificate.

A shareholder may vote on the matters as per their choice and change their pre-cast votes during the whole pre-voting period, and may also continue to browse the pre-cast votes in the electronic advance voting service even after General Meeting. The shareholder may also print out a confirmation of the votes they have given in advance in the advance voting service.

The shareholder is connected to the electronic advance voting service through a secure internet connection. The communication connection used is encrypted using SSL technology, which is commonly used, e.g., by online banks.
