On 31 March 2020, the Swedish Corporate Governance Board communicated that rules 1.1–1.3 of the Swedish Corporate Governance Code did not need to be applied in the prevailing circumstances and therefore no deviation from the Code will be deemed to have taken place if these rules are not applied. This application of the Code was later extended throughout 2021. The Board has now decided that this application of the Code is to be extended and apply also throughout 2022.
