In connection with the Annual General Meeting of FundedByMe on May 14, 2020, the company's Chairman Johan Jörgensen will not stand for re-election. Notice of the AGM and in-depth information regarding proposed members and the new chairman will be presented on April 14th, 2020. The new chairman proposed will be Per Anders Fasth. Board members to be proposed for re-election will be: Klara Leander, and for election Christian Lindell, Haqvin Svensson, Anders Lundström.

"I have been FundedByMe's first and so far only chairman of the board. After a decade on the post, it is time for new forces to take over and for me to focus entirely on my specialty area; Foodtech. It has been a pleasure to have been part of the journey and I am extremely proud of everything we have accomplished over the years. It also feels very good to be able to hand over a company that has been involved in building a whole new industry, crowdfunding, that has completed acquisitions, an IPO, structured the business with focus on profitability and launched new digital products for both IR and issues for listed companies. And also when we now also restart our reward-based crowdfunding to support all entrepreneurs out there who are suffering from the COVID19 crisis, we once again show that we are the digital finance company of the future, becoming the largest crowdfunding platform in the EU with over 650 funded companies and thousands of projects, having raised over MSEK 650 of residual capital feels extra good," says Johan Jörgensen.

“As the new proposed Chairman of the Board, I am grateful for the trust bestowed in me and I want to thank the former Board for its work. Previous challenges faced by the Board have been handled well and I look forward to being part of the Board and leading this company into its next phase. I have great faith in the company and its potential and see that it fulfills an important need in today's market,” says Per-Anders Fasth, proposed new Chairman of the Board.

"Johan has been an invaluable support throughout these years," says Daniel Daboczy, CEO and co-founder of FundedByMe. "Without Johan, we would never have started equity crowdfunding, understood the potential of changing the financial industry or realized the opportunities for companies to activate their shareholders. And we would not have survived all the challenges we have faced during this journey. He will be missed by both management and the entire staff in his chairmanship, but Johan and I will continue to work to change and improve the finance industry. "

"Our nomination committee, in conjunction with the summons, will present its proposal to the next Chairman of the Board and the Board of Directors to take FundedByMe into the next decade. It looks very good and I am confident about the future of FundedByMe. I very much look forward to getting involved in the journey as an owner," says Johan Jörgensen.
