General Meeting

The Bank’s 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on Wednesday, 25 March 2026, at 10:00 a.m. CET at China Teatern, Berzelii Park 9, Stockholm, Sweden.

The decisions of the Annual General Meeting are stated in the press release below. 

Shareholders exercise their right to decide on matters concerning the company at shareholders' meetings. The annual general meeting, inter alia, elects Board members and auditors and decides on their fees, adopts the income statement and balance sheet, and decides on the matter of discharge from liability for the Board members and Chief Executive Officer. 

Shareholders who are registered in the share register and who have given notice of their participation in time have the right to participate in the meeting and vote for all their shares. Shareholders who are unable to attend the meeting in person may be represented by a proxy.

Handelsbanken has two classes of shares: class A and class B. The class A shares account for just over 98 percent of all shares in Handelsbanken. Both share series have the same right to dividends, but shares of series B only carry one-tenth of a vote per share, while series A shares carry one vote per share.
