YUP ! Annual General Meeting of Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson Media and Analysts invited to Conference Call 1:00-1:30 PM EST, immediately following Press Conference in Stockholm STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 23, 1999-- The Annual General Meeting of Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson was held on Tuesday March 23, in Stockholm. The Company's and the Group's income statements and balance sheets were adopted and the Board of Directors and the President were discharged from liability for the fiscal year 1998. The Meeting approved a dividend of SEK 2.00 per share. Shareholders who are recorded in the share register on the record date, March 26, 1999, are entitled to receive dividend, which is expected to be paid on April 6, 1999. The Meeting also decided to change the Articles of Association due to provisions in the Swedish Company Act that came into force on January 1, 1999. The following Directors of the Board were re-elected; Tom Hedelius, Sverker Martin-Lof, Sven-Christer Nilsson, Lars-Eric Petersson, Lars Ramqvist, Clas Reuterskiold, Peter Sutherland and Marcus Wallenberg. Bo Berggren and Sven Agrup had declined re-election. Goran Lindahl was elected Director of the Board. At the statutory meeting of the Board of Directors following the Annual General Meeting, Lars Ramqvist was elected Chairman. Tom Hedelius and Marcus Wallenberg were elected Vice Chairmen. Carl-Eric Bohlin, Olof Herolf and Thomas Thiel were elected to serve as auditors. Ericsson's CEO Sven-Christer Nilsson said during his speech at the Annual General Meeting: ''Ericsson is in an exciting period. 1999 is not a harvest year but a year in which we are preparing ourselves. And we are well positioned for the next phase of development. ''We recently presented an entirely new portfolio of mobile telephones. We are equipped to strengthen our position. Our technological leadership in 3G, which is the first generation of a true mobile Internet, is unchallenged. We have led this development. ''In connection with the annual results we announced an expectation of lower results for the first six months of 1999. I can confirm this and particularly in connection with the first quarter. The increase in sales has slowed at the same time as costs for restructuring have appeared. At the same time it is important to note that the first quarter is often a poor indicator for the balance of the year. ''This shift in technology and development will be as extensive for man as when the telephone became generally available. It involves the mobile Internet, an area in which Ericsson has unique strength. We are the world leader in mobility. We already have 6 test systems in operation and we received the first order in the world for a so-called packet-data GPRS. ''Our long-term goal in this 3G market is to post higher growth than the market as a whole. Accordingly, our objective is to grow by at least 20 percent.'' The complete speech will be found at ericsson.se.
