Report this content

Ahead of the 2020 annual general meeting, Balco’s Nomination Committee, which represents approximately 50% of the shares and votes in the Company, proposes that Vibecke Hverven be elected as a new member of Balco’s board in place of Åsa Söderström Winberg, who has declined re-election.

Ahead of the annual general meeting to be held on 14 May 2019, Balco Group AB’s Nomination Committee proposes that Tomas Johansson be re-elected as new chairman of the board. It is further proposed that Vibecke Hverven be elected as a new director in place of Åsa Söderström Winberg, who has declined re-election.

The Nomination Committee thus proposes the re-election of Tomas Johansson, Ingalill Berglund, Carl-Mikael Lindholm, Johannes Nyberg and Mikael Andersson, and the new election of Vibecke Hverven. The nomination committee's proposal means that the number of board members in the coming term will still be six people.

In its work, the Nomination Committee has endeavored to further strengthen the competence of the Board by appointing a person with a solid background from the construction industry. The Nomination Committee's assessment is that Vibecke Hverven, with her broad background from leading positions in a number of Norwegian companies, her long career as CEO, and extensive experience from the Norwegian market, will add valuable expertise in the work of the Board.

Vibecke Hverven was born in 1963 and holds a degree in civil engineering from the Norwegian University of Technology. Vibecke has a long career in both OBOS Prosjekt AS, DNV Gl Energy Advisory AS, SWECO Norge AS and Statkraft Engineering AS.
