The Extraordinary General Meeting is intended to consider proposals regarding changes to the Company’s Board of Directors and Articles of Association.

The proposals aim to further strengthen Valuno’s Board of Directors by adding complementary expertise and experience. In connection with this, Citigiro and the Chairman of the Board, Peter Liljeroos, have mutually agreed that Peter Liljeroos will step down from his position as Chairman of the Board.

The Extraordinary General Meeting is also intended to consider proposals for the election of Martin Osterloh and Gunnar Axén as members of the Board of Directors for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting. Adjustments to the proposed candidates may be made well in advance of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Gunnar Axén has a long and broad background in politics, business, and strategic board work. He currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Citigiro Holding AB and previously served as a Member of the Swedish Parliament for the Moderate Party for more than 15 years, during which time he, among other roles, chaired the Committee on Social Insurance and was engaged in the work of the Committee on Finance. In addition, he has served as a board member of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. Following his parliamentary career, Axén has continued in roles focused on communication, public opinion, public affairs, and corporate governance, where, as an advisor, chairman, and board member, he has frequently played an active role in strategic shifts and transformation processes.

Martin Osterloh is an internationally experienced leader within fintech and payment infrastructure, with more than 20 years of experience from senior commercial roles in the global payments industry. For nearly 15 years, he held a prominent position at Wirecard, where he, among other responsibilities, served as Vice President with responsibility for digital sales and strategic client relationships and participated in the company’s international expansion. Osterloh is currently active at Mandato Financial Services, focusing on business development and partnerships within financial infrastructure, including international payment flows and stablecoin-related structures.

Should the Extraordinary General Meeting resolve in accordance with the proposals, Valuno’s Board of Directors will consist of Martin Osterloh, Gunnar Axén, Chris Hutchinson, and Mikael Fallström.

Peter Liljeroos, Chairman of the Board of Valuno Group AB (publ), comments:
“It has been a turbulent but highly interesting and rewarding period. I remain at the disposal of the new Chairman and will of course contribute with support and continuity to the extent desired. I now hand over the chairmanship to Gunnar Axén and have full confidence in Citigiro’s commitment and ability, together with Valuno’s organization, to take the Company to new heights.”

Gunnar Axén, proposed new Chairman of the Board, comments:
“Citigiro is now strengthening its commitment to Valuno, which is one of our most important investments. At the same time, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Peter for his solid work during a period characterized by significant change and a high pace.”

Amendment of the Articles of Association – Digital General Meetings
Resolution on an amendment to the Articles of Association to enable general meetings to be held fully digitally (alternatively with remote participation), to the extent permitted under the Swedish Companies Act.

Renewed Consideration of Authorization to Issue Shares
Resolution on whether the previous authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve on the issuance of shares and/or other securities shall remain in force, be amended, or be revoked. Citigiro believes that the shareholders should be given the opportunity to reconsider the mandate in light of changed circumstances and the expected change in board composition.

Notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting will be announced separately shortly.
