Swedish home appliance manufacturer AB Electrolux has reported a significant adjustment to its share and voting structure. During July 2026, following requests from shareholders in accordance with the company's articles of association, 1,662,933 Series A shares were converted into an equal number of Series B shares.
The conversion process has resulted in a reduction of the company's total voting power by 1,496,639.7 votes.
