Axfood AGM Backs Dividend, Board Line-Up and New Incentive Plan

Axfood AB ( (SE:AXFO) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Axfood’s 2026 Annual General Meeting reaffirmed stability at the top of the food retailer by re-electing seven directors, including Chair Caroline Berg, while noting the departure of board member Fabian Bengtsson and extending Deloitte AB’s mandate as auditor until 2028. Shareholders approved the 2025 accounts, discharged the board and CEO from liability, and endorsed the remuneration report and updated guidelines for the nominating committee.

The AGM set the total dividend at SEK 9.00 per share for 2025, to be paid in two equal tranches in March and September 2026, reinforcing Axfood’s profile as a steady dividend payer in the Swedish market. Investors also backed a new long-term share-based incentive programme, LTIP 2026, covering senior executives and key staff, alongside authorisation for the board to repurchase and transfer up to 400,000 shares, a structure aimed at aligning management incentives with shareholder value while providing the company with additional capital management flexibility.
