Dear Shareholders,
Dear Holders of Beneficiary Certificates,
You are cordially invited to participate in the 2022 annual general meeting of shareholders and holders of beneficiary certificates (the “Annual General Meeting”) of Spotify Technology S.A. (the “Company”) on April 20, 2022. Information concerning the matters to be considered and voted upon at the Annual General Meeting is set out in the attached Convening Notice and Proxy Statement.
The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed the close of business (10:00 p.m. Luxembourg time, 4:00 p.m. EST) on February 25, 2022 as the record date for the Annual General Meeting (the “Record Date”), and only holders of record of ordinary shares and beneficiary certificates at such time shall be allowed to vote at the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Shareholders and holders of beneficiary certificates who have transferred their ordinary shares and/or beneficiary certificates between the Record Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting cannot participate in the Annual General Meeting. In case of breach of such prohibition, criminal sanctions may apply.
The health and well-being of our various shareholders is our top priority. In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and as permitted by and in accordance with the Luxembourg law of September 23, 2020 relating to measures on the holding of meetings in companies and other legal entities, as amended, we are taking precautionary measures in line with the guidance from public health authorities and holding this year’s Annual General Meeting without a physical presence. As a result, the only way for you to participate in this Annual General Meeting is to vote by proxy. As always, we encourage you to vote by internet, by phone, or by mail, as further described in our proxy materials.
