Metsä Board Corporation Stock exchange release 19 March 2020 at 9.45 a.m. EET
Metsä Board Corporation, part of Metsä Group, has, due to the pending Covid-19
status, decided to cancel its Annual General Meeting convened for the 26th of
March 2020. Notice for the meeting was published on 12 February 2020.
Metsä Board takes the Covid-19 threat seriously and wants to secure a safe
meeting for the company’s shareholders and employees.
The Finnish government has proposed to the parliament that state of emergency
legislation be applied, including restrictions on public gatherings, and
recommendations that the same principles be applied to private gatherings. As a
result the Board of Directors has decided that the Annual General Meeting must
not be held in these unusual circumstances. The Annual General Meeting will be
convened at a later point in time to be announced when feasible.
