The Nomination Committee's proposal for the new Board of Directors and Chairman of the Board

Prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting on July 31, 2020, Brighter AB (publ) today announces the Nomination Committee's proposal for a new Board of Directors.

On July 13, it was announced that the company would present a new interim board prior to an extraordinary general meeting. The Nomination Committee is now presenting a proposal for a complete board.

“It is a sign of strength for the company to be able to present such a strong board at such short notice, with a long experience and cutting-edge expertise. It is important with a fresh start, new energy in combination with continuity and knowledge of the company's historical long lines. Right now, Brighter is in an exciting phase and it is obvious that many want to be part of the journey forward and contribute to the company's continued development to improve people's health,” says Dennis Westermark, chairman of the Nomination Committee.

The Nomination Committee's proposals
The Nomination Committee proposes that the Board shall consist of six ordinary members without deputies. The Nomination Committee proposes that Håkan Nyberg is elected as the new Chairman of the Board. Emilie Erhardt Winiarski, Hab El Assaad, Sofia Landström, Åsa Sjöblom Nordgren and former Chairman of the Board Truls Sjöstedt are proposed as board members.

The compensation for a member of the Remuneration Committee and the Audit Committee remains at 20,000 SEK.

“I look forward to taking over the chairmanship from Truls Sjöstedt and am humbled by the responsibility that it entails.
