Shareholders are invited to review the different ways to participate at the Extraordinary General Meeting (this extraordinary general meeting, "EGM") and cast their vote. Detailed information on this can be found in the "Participation" section of this invitation.

Agenda and Proposals of the Board of Directors

1. Delisting of Cavotec SA's shares from Nasdaq Stockholm
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes to approve the delisting of all shares in Cavotec SA from Nasdaq Stockholm, subject to the successful completion of the public tender offer by Cavotec Group AB to acquire all shares in Cavotec SA.

Explanation
On 21 May 2025, Cavotec Group AB, a wholly owned Swedish subsidiary of Cavotec SA, announced an offer to acquire all shares in Cavotec SA in exchange for one (1) ordinary share in Cavotec Group AB per Cavotec SA share, for the purpose of implementing a change of domicile from Switzerland to Sweden (the “Offer”). Following, and subject to, the completion of the Offer, the ordinary shares of Cavotec Group AB will be listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and the shares in Cavotec SA are intended to be delisted. Pursuant to art.704 of the Swiss Code of Obligations, the delisting of equity securities of a company is exclusively to be resolved by the shareholders of the company.

For further information, please refer to Cavotec Group AB’s announcement of the Offer, under the section “Statutory merger and delisting”, available on this link: https://storage.mfn.se/3ba20fe9-662b-4237-8705-24ef80d6b87d/cavotec-to-change-domicile-from-switzerland-to-sweden-shareholders-of-cavotec-are-offered-to-exchange-their-shares-in-exchange-offer.pdf.

2. Acknowledgement of the resignation of the current members of the Board of Directors, Election of five new member of the Board of Directors, nomination of the Chairman of the Board of Directors 
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes to acknowledge the resignation of Johan Patrik Tigerschiöld, Niklas Edling, Annette Kumlien, Keith Svendsen, and Peter Nilsson, all with effect on 16 July 2025. The Board of Directors proposes to replace them by electing the following persons, effective as of 16 July 2025: 

2.1 Election of Vanessa Tisci

2.2 Election of Joakim Wahlquist

2.3 Election of Martin Momo Semelis

2.4 Election of Jonathan Eriksson

2.5 Election of Willian Cheyne

2.6 Election of Vanessa Tisci as Chairperson of the Board of Directors

Explanation
Following the delisting of Cavotec SA, the company will no longer require a composition of the Board corresponding to that of a listed company. The simplification of the structure of the Board is more appropriate for Cavotec SA as a group subsidiary and will facilitate the efficient implementation of the upcoming merger between Cavotec SA and a newly incorporated Swiss subsidiary of Cavotec Group AB.

For further information, please refer to Cavotec Group AB’s announcement of the Offer, under the section “Statutory merger and delisting”, available on this link: https://storage.mfn.se/3ba20fe9-662b-4237-8705-24ef80d6b87d/cavotec-to-change-domicile-from-switzerland-to-sweden-shareholders-of-cavotec-are-offered-to-exchange-their-shares-in-exchange-offer.pdf.

3. Grant of Discharge from Liability to the Board of Directors for the time for the period from 1 January 2025 until the date of the EGM
Proposal
