New member of the Board
At the General Meeting held on April 21, 2021, Sonat Burman Olsson, Christian Frigast, Christian Jansson, Peder Lundquist, Ulrica Messing, Charlotte Strand, Susanne Hundsbæk-Pedersen and Erik Sandstedt were elected as ordinary members of the Board until the end of the next Annual General Meeting.
Ulrica Messing has since informed the shareholders that she intends to vacate her position.
The shareholders therefore propose the election of Hillevi Engström as a member of the Board until the end of the next Annual General Meeting.
Hillevi Engström was born in 1963. She is a graduate police officer, having completed courses at the Swedish Defence College, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and Stockholm School of Economics. She is CEO of Trygghetsstiftelsen (The Job Security Foundation) and a member of the Board of Samhall Aktiebolag. She has previously held the positions of Minister for International Development Cooperation, Minister for Employment, Member of the Swedish Parliament and Chairman of the Board of Sollentunahem AB.
Justification for the election of the new member of the Board
The proposed new Board member is considered by the states to have the relevant expertise, experience and background for the governance of the company, which is why the owners propose the election of the aforementioned person. With regard to the company’s business activities, stage of development and other conditions, the composition of the Board, including the proposed new member, is considered to feature diversity and width in terms of the Board members’ expertise, experience and background. The composition of the Board achieves the government’s goal of equal gender distribution, in accordance with the state’s ownership policy.
