Nomination committee

A nomination committee with Göran Carlson (representing his own shares), Frank Larsson (appointed by Handelsbanken Fonder), Anders Algotsson (appointed by AFA Försäkring) and Erik Törnberg (appointed by Creades) was formed in October 2014. Göran Carlson was appointed chairman of the nomination committee. Due to changes in owner structure, the members of the nomination committee changed and Nils Bolmstrand (appointed by Nordea Investment Funds) replaced Erik Törnberg from Creades in November 2014.

The nomination committee held 5 meetings. No compensation has been paid to the members of the committee.

Election of chairman and other directors to the board of directors

The number of directors is proposed to 6 (7) with no deputy directors.

The nomination committee proposes re-election of the directors: Göran Carlson, Magnus Johansson, Arne Karlsson, Staffan Jufors and Annika Sten Pärson. Furthermore new election of Carina Olson. Göran Carlson is proposed to be re-elected as chairman of the board. Stefan Charette and Cecilia Löf has declined re-election.

The nomination committee has considered the company´s operations, development and other circumstances when discussing size and composition of the board of directors in respect of industry experience, expertise and international experience. The nomination committee has taken part of the evaluation of the board and its work and has also conducted interviews with the board members.

Considering that one director with a broad financial experience has declined re-election, the nomination committee´s explicit intention has been to add such expertise to the board.
