Metso Outotec's Shareholders' Nomination Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting, planned to be held on April 23, 2021, that the Board of Directors should have seven members and that Klaus Cawén, Christer Gardell, Antti Mäkinen, Ian W. Pearce, Kari Stadigh, Emanuela Speranza and Arja Talma should be re-elected as Board members. Mikael Lilius, Matti Alahuhta and Hanne de Mora were not available for re-election. The Nomination Board will propose that Kari Stadigh should be elected Chair of the Board and Klaus Cawén Vice Chair. All the Board member candidates have given their consent to be elected and have been assessed to be independent of the company and its significant shareholders, except for Antti Mäkinen, who has been assessed to be independent of the company but not independent of its significant shareholder.
