Registration for the EGM begins at 10.30 a.m. CEST.

Shareholders who wish to attend the EGM must be recorded in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden, made as of 21 August 2020 and notify the company of their intention to participate in the AGM by 21 August 2020 at the latest, preferably before 4 p.m. CEST.

Registration to attend should primarily be made via the company's website https://www.eolusvind.com/ir-financial/corporate-governance/annual-general-meeting/?lang=en . Registration to attend can also be made in writing at the address Eolus Vind AB ”Extraordinary General Meeting”, c/o Euroclear Sweden AB, P.O.

When registering to attend, the shareholder must provide name, address, personal identity number or corporate identity number, daytime telephone number and, if applicable, the name of any representative. A shareholder who is exercising its voting right through advance voting does not need to notify the company of its attendance to the EGM, but instead follow the instructions under Advance voting below.

In order to participate in the proceedings of the EGM, shareholders holding nominee-registered shares must submit a request to their bank or broker to have their shares temporarily registered in the shareholders own name with Euroclear Sweden AB. Such registration must be completed by 21 August 2020 and the bank or broker should therefore be notified well in advance of this date.

A proxy must be issued for any person representing a shareholder. The proxy shall be in writing and shall be dated and signed by the shareholder. The proxy must not be more than one year old, unless a longer period of validity is stated in the proxy (maximum five years). If the shareholder is a legal person, a certificate of registration or a similar authorization document shall be presented. The authorization document shall verify the right for the person signing the proxy to appoint a representative for the legal person. In order to facilitate the registration process at the EGM, an original of the proxy together with certificate of registration and any other authorization documents shall be received by the company at the address Eolus Vind AB, P.O. Box 95, SE-281 21 Hässleholm, Sweden at 4 p.m. CEST on 21 August 2020 at the latest. If a proxy and other authorization documents have not been submitted in advance of the EGM, an original proxy and other authorization documents shall be presented at the EGM. A proxy form is available at the company and at the company's website www.eolusvind.com , and will also be sent to shareholders who so request and provide their address.

As a precautionary measure to decrease any risk of spreading the coronavirus, the Board of Directors has decided that the shareholders should be able to exercise their voting rights at the EGM by advance voting. The intention of the Board of Directors' decision is to reduce the number of people gathered at the location of the EGM. The company encourages its shareholders to not attend the EGM in person and instead, in the manner stated below, exercise the possibility to advance voting.

Shareholders who wish to exercise the possibility to advance voting shall, in addition to being included in the shareholder's register, use a form for advance voting. The form is available on the company's website, www.eolusvind.com . A shareholder who is exercising its voting right through advance voting does not need to notify the Company of its attendance to the EGM. The advance voting form is considered as notification of attendance to the EGM.

If the shareholder is a legal entity, a certificate of incorporation or a corresponding document shall be enclosed to the form. The shareholder may not provide special instructions or conditions in the voting form. If so, the vote is invalid.

As a precautionary measure to reduce the risk of spreading the corona virus in connection with the EGM, the company has also decided to take the following measures:

Considering the risk of infection, the company advices against physically attending the EGM, and recommends the shareholders to participate by advance voting as stated above. The company is carefully monitoring the continued development and will if necessary, update its website www.eolusvind.com , with information on any additional measures that are being taken in connection with the EGM.

It is proposed that Eolus' General Counsel, Karl Olsson, shall be elected Chairman of the EGM.

For the purpose of reducing the effects of seasonal variations, the Board of Directors proposes that the EGM resolves to change the company's financial year to run from 1 January to 31 December. In connection therewith, the Board of Directors proposes that the current financial year is extended to cover a period of 16 months, that is, until 31 December 2020. Accordingly, the Board of Directors proposes that the EGM resolves to amend current § 13 of the Articles of Association in accordance with the following.

Further, the Board of Directors proposes that the EGM resolves that the company, in addition to Hässleholm, shall be able to hold its general meetings in Malmö, Gothenburg and Stockholm, by including a new § 9 in the Articles of Association in accordance with the following.

Furthermore, the Board of Directors proposes that the EGM resolves to include a conversion provision as a new paragraph of § 5 of the Articles of Association and, as a consequence of this, to also amend the provision regarding the maximum and minimum amount of shares in the first paragraph of the same section, in accordance with the following.

Finally, for the purpose of adapting the Articles of Association to implemented and expected amendments of the Swedish Companies Act and the Swedish Central Securities Depositories and Financial Instruments (Accounts) Act, the Board of Directors proposes that the EGM resolves to amend current § 1, § 10 and § 14 of the Articles of Association in accordance with the following. Please note that the proposed amendment of § 1 does not affect the English unofficial translation of the Articles of Association.

Authorization

The Board of Directors proposes that the CEO be authorized to make such minor amendments of the proposal as may be required in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Majority requirement

The resolution of the EGM on amendments of the Articles of Association, including a change of the company's financial year and the insertion of a conversion provision, requires the support of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the EGM, in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act .

The Board of Directors' complete proposal for amendments of the Articles of Association, including change of the company's financial year and insertion of a conversion provision, will be available at the company and on the company's website three weeks before the EGM at the latest. The proposal will also be sent, without any cost for the recipients, to shareholders who so request and provide their address.

At the time of issue of this convening notice, the total number of shares in the company amounts to 24,907,000, of which 1,285,625 shares are Class A shares and 23,621,375 shares are Class B shares. The total number of votes in the company amounts to 3,647,762.5. The company does not hold any treasury shares.

The Board of Directors and the CEO shall, if any shareholder so request and if the Board of Directors considers that this can be done without significant harm for the company or its subsidiaries, at the EGM give information on circumstances that can affect the assessment of an item on the agenda and the company's relationship with another group company.
