Assuming the General Meeting accepts the dividend proposal, the date to receive dividends will be May 7, 2024, and the dividend will be paid in one installment. The Annual General Meeting will be held on April 29, 2024.

§ Accounting principles
Reserves
Translation reserve
The translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising on the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations stated in a currency different from the Group’s presentation currency.
Hedging reserve
The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash-flow hedging instruments (float-to-fixed interest hedges and net investment hedges) related to hedged transactions that have not yet occurred. The change in cash-flow hedges that was transferred to profit (loss) for the year amounted to SEK 0 million (0).
Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests are recognized as a separate item in the Group’s equity. Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are recognized as a transaction within shareholders’ equity, meaning between the Parent Company’s owners and non-controlling interests. Accordingly, goodwill does not arise in conjunction with such transactions. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recognized in equity.
Put options issued to owners with non-controlling interests
Put options issued to owners with non-controlling interests refer to agreements that give the owner the right to sell interests in the company, either at a fixed price or a fair value at a future period in time. The amount to be paid if the option is exercised is initially recognized, at present value, as a financial liability. The liability is remeasured and any change in present value is recognized in equity. If the option is not exercised by maturity the liability is derecognized with a corresponding adjustment in equity.
