ZURICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ABB today published the invitation to its Annual General Meeting (AGM), which will be held on Thursday, March 24, 2022. The invitation can be found attached and at www.abb.com/agm.

ABB’s top priority remains protecting the health of its shareholders and employees. Despite the recent relaxation of COVID-19 protection measures, the Board of Directors therefore resolved that shareholders again will only be able to exercise their shareholder rights via the independent proxy. As a result, it unfortunately will not be possible for shareholders to attend the 2022 Annual General Meeting in person.

ABB offers its shareholders the opportunity to address questions on agenda items to the Board of Directors in writing until March 14, 2022. The Board of Directors will respond to important questions on agenda items at the Annual General Meeting and address other questions to the extent possible on ABB’s website.

The Annual General Meeting will be broadcast live under www.abb.com/agm, starting at 10:00 am and will be conducted primarily in German. Translation into English will be available.

The voting results will be published on www.abb.com/agm shortly after the AGM.
