Shareholders's Nomination Committee
Lehto Group Plc has a Shareholders' Nomination Committee established by a decision of the General Meeting, whose task is to prepare proposals for the election and remuneration of the Board of Directors to the Annual General Meeting.
The Nomination Committee is elected annually and its members include representatives of the three largest shareholders who have received the position. The term of office of a member of the Committee is in principle valid until the last trading day of public trading organized by Nasdaq Helsinki in September following the election.
The following representatives of the three largest shareholders have been appointed to the Nomination Committee of Lehto Group Plc: Hannu Lehto as representative of Lehto Invest Oy, Rami Vehmas as representative of Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company, and Timo Lehto as representative of Elvak Holding Oy.
Nomination Committee's proposals for the composition and remuneration of the Board of Directors of Lehto Group Oyj
The Nomination Committee proposes to the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 27 April 2026 that the Board of Directors of Lehto Group Plc should consist of three (3) members and that Mr. Timo Okkonen, Ms. Tarja Teppo and Mr. Hannu Lehto be re-elected to the Board. The proposed current members are presented on Lehto Group Plc's website https://lehto.fi/en/board/.
All candidates have given their consent to be elected to the Board of Directors. The proposed members, with the exception of Hannu Lehto, are independent of the Company and its significant shareholders.
The Nomination Committee proposes that the members of the Board of Directors be paid an annual remuneration consisting of a cash remuneration and a share remuneration as follows:
- Cash remuneration of EUR 18,000 for the Chairman of the Board and a remuneration payable in shares of 80,000 shares.
- Cash remuneration of EUR 12,000 for the Vice Chairman and member of the Board of Directors and a remuneration payable in shares of 80,000 shares.
The remuneration payable in shares is proposed to be paid in such a way that the members of the Board of Directors would be given free of charge new shares held by the Company or issued by the Company, or alternatively the Company's shares would be acquired on a regulated market at a price determined in public trading directly in the name and on behalf of the member of the Board of Directors.
The member of the Board of Directors should hold the shares for at least the duration of the Board of Directors' term and for six months thereafter.
It is not proposed that the members of the Board of Directors be paid a separate meeting fee. The proposed meeting fees for members of the Board committees are:
- EUR 600 per meeting for the Committee Chair
- EUR 400 per meeting for the Committee members.
Reasonable travel expenses incurred for meetings of the Board and Board committees are proposed to be reimbursed in accordance with the Tax Administration's guidelines.
