The Nomination Committee's proposal for the Board of Directors to be elected at the Annual General Meeting on 19 May 2026 was published on 16 April 2026 together with the Nomination Committee's reasoned statement. The Nomination Committee can now publish an additional proposal, namely Björn Jansson. The Nomination Committee believes that Björn's experience from the financial market and his expertise in business building will be of great value to the company in its continued growth journey.
Björn Jansson is currently a Senior Partner at DNB Carnegie Investment Bank, where he has been employed for the past 17 years, first as Business Area Manager and then as CEO from 2015 to 2023. He is also a member of the Board of Directors of Green Landscaping Group AB and Opti Sverige AB. Prior to DNB Carnegie, Björn was Head of Research at both Alfred Berg and Enskilda Securities.
In summary, the Nomination Committee's proposal is thus that the Board of Directors shall consist of five members, and that the Annual General Meeting resolves to re-elect Mats H Nilsson, Jens Høgsted, Cecilia Bönström and Johanna Schottenius and to elect Björn Jansson as a new member. Fredrik Lövstedt and Alessandra Cama have declined re-election. Johanna Schottenius is proposed to be re-elected as Chairman of the Board.
