Unofficial translation of the company release on February 28, 2023 at 9:40 AM EET. In case the document differs from the original, the Finnish version prevails.

The nomination committee

As decided by Admicom’s AGM in 2022, a nomination committee has been formed among Admicom’s largest owners to prepare proposals for the AGM 2023. The members of the nomination committee are:

  • Timo Häll, elected by Matti Häll and chairman of the nomination committee,
  • Jan Andersson, elected by Swedbank Robur Fonder,
  • Antti Katajisto, elected by SEB Investment Management and
  • Jonathan Schönbäck, elected by ODIN Fonder.

Petri Niemi, chairman of the board of Admicom, has been co-opted to the nomination committee.

The nomination committee has held three meetings to prepare it proposals to the 2023 AGM. Beside discussing the Company’s strategy and challenges over the next few years with the chairman, the nomination committee has made individual interviews with all board members and have concluded that the board work is efficient with ambitious and well-motivated board members.

To further strengthen the board, a search for new board members was initiated in co-operation with an external consultant. During the search, the nomination committee has identified two candidates who could add technology and marketing skills to the board work.

  • Ms. Camilla Skoog is a Swedish executive, who for the last ten years has been a business developer, chief sales officer and business area manager at Fortnox, the Swedish accounting software developer. She now works as a consultant and board professional.

  • Mr. Tomi Lod, a Finnish executive, is presently the CEO of the SaaS company FA Solutions. He has previously held leading positions at Clausion, Analyste and Basware. He also has a background from Nokia and ICL Data.

For work at the audit committee, the chairman of the audit committee shall receive an additional €5,000 and other members of the audit committee shall receive an additional €2,500 each.

5. The instruction for forming a nomination committee, as adopted by the AGM 2022, shall remain unchanged.

Motivated statement

The fiduciary responsibility of the nomination committee is to act in the interest of all shareholders of the Company, finding an optimal board which balances current and future needs. Admicom is fast growing a Finnish digital champion, founded by the entrepreneur Matti Häll.

The partly new board that was elected at the AGM 2022 has pursued a decisive work to implement a strategy for Admicom’s continued profitable growth. A legal structure has been adopted to comply with a modern governance structure and a partly new management team has been installed.

The nomination committee concludes that it is important that the proposed board can continue to realise its strategy and is confident that, with the addition of two highly qualified board members, Admicom’s further growth is well supported.

Continued attention has been paid to secure that the board has a composition which is characterised by a breadth of qualifications and experiences as well a fair gender balance.The proposed board consists of five men and two women, i.e. 29% women and 71% men. The nomination committee is committed to continue its efforts to further improve the gender balance.
