Insights
Ericsson's approval of a SEK 2.85 per share dividend at its Annual General Meeting represents a meaningful capital return commitment to shareholders. The dividend will be distributed in two installments of SEK 1.43 and SEK 1.42, scheduled for April and October 2025 respectively.
The AGM also approved Long-Term Variable Compensation Programs involving 12.7 million B-shares (approximately 0.38% of total shares) for executives and key employees. This moderate dilution supports the company's talent retention strategy while aligning leadership incentives with shareholder interests.
The meeting approved the issuance of C-shares that will be converted to B-shares to facilitate both the 2025 compensation program and the previously approved 2024 program. These share-based compensation mechanisms demonstrate Ericsson's structured approach to balancing employee incentives with shareholder value.
Board composition changes included the addition of two new members (Christian Cederholm and Marachel Knight) while maintaining continuity with Jan Carlson continuing as Chair. The rejection of a shareholder proposal to tie executive bonuses to employee salary increases indicates the board maintains traditional compensation governance rather than adopting more progressive policies.
While this AGM contained no surprises or dramatic changes to Ericsson's financial or strategic direction, the dividend commitment provides a clear signal of the company's capital allocation priorities and confidence in its financial stability.
