NENT Group Nomination Committee proposal for Board of Directors
In advance of the Nordic Entertainment Group AB (publ) (“NENT Group”) Annual General Meeting of shareholders to be held on Tuesday 19 May 2020, the NENT Group Nomination Committee proposes the re-election of all current Directors of the Board, and the election of Pernille Erenbjerg as a new Director of the Board. The Nomination Committee also proposes the re-election of David Chance as Chairman of the Board.
Pernille Erenbjerg was previously President and Group Chief Executive Officer of TDC, the leading provider of integrated communications and entertainment solutions in Denmark and Norway. Before being appointed President and Group Chief Executive Officer, Pernille served as TDC’s Chief Financial Officer. Pernille currently serves on the Boards of Nordea, the largest financial services group in the Nordic region, and the Danish international biotechnology company Genmab, where she is Deputy Chairman. She is also Deputy Chairman of the Board of Millicom International Cellular, a provider of cable, mobile and high-speed broadband services in Latin America and Africa. Pernille holds a MSc in Business Economics and Auditing from Copenhagen Business School.
Erik Durhan, Chairman of the Nomination Committee: “Pernille’s years of experience of managing a converged provider of communication and entertainment services, and of driving transformational change, will be of great value to the work of the NENT Group Board of Directors. The proposed Board provides complementary skills and perspectives that combine strategic, operational and financial insight and leadership. This balance is vital to the further development of NENT Group’s streaming and broadcast businesses, and to successfully capitalising on changes in consumer behaviour, capturing growth opportunities and generating sustainable value for shareholders.”
The Nomination Committee comprises Erik Durhan, appointed by Nordea Funds; Joachim Spetz, appointed by Swedbank Robur; and Oskar Börjesson, appointed by Skandia Life; as well as the Chairman of the NENT Group Board of Directors, David Chance. The members of the Nomination Committee appointed Erik Durhan as Chairman of the Nomination Committee at their first meeting.
