Item 12 – Resolution regarding the establishment of a Nomination Committee
The Nomination Committee proposes the following principles for the appointment of the Nomination Committee and instructions for the Nomination Committee.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors is assigned the task of contacting the three largest shareholders or owner groups, in terms of voting power, as per the last trading day in August each year, and ask them to appoint one member each to the Nomination Committee, which shall consist of four members in total, including the Chairman of the Board of Directors. If such a shareholder or owner group waives their right to appoint a member, the right to appoint such a member is transferred to the next largest owner or owner group, in terms of voting power, who does not already have the right to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee. In the event that several shareholders or owner groups waive their right to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee, the chairman of the Board of Directors shall not be required to contact more than 12 shareholders, and in such cases the size of the Nomination Committee shall be reduced accordingly to a minimum of two members, including the chairman of the Board of Directors. The members that are elected in this manner, along with the Chairman of the Board of Directors as convener, will form the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee will appoint its Chairman within the Committee. The Chairman of the Board of Directors or any other board member shall not be appointed Chairman of the Nomination Committee.
The names of the members of the Nomination Committee and the shareholders they represent shall be announced as soon as possible after that, but not later than six months prior to the next Annual General Meeting. The term for the appointed Nomination Committee shall extend until a new Nomination Committee is appointed. In the event that one member of the Nomination Committee resigns or no longer represents one of the largest owners in the company according to the above model, the Nomination Committee shall be entitled to appoint another representative for the larger shareholders to replace such member.
The members of the Nomination Committee are to promote the common interests of all shareholders. Committee members are not to unduly reveal the content and details of the Committee’s discussions. Before accepting the assignment, each member of the Nomination Committee is to consider carefully whether there is any conflict of interest or other circumstance that makes membership of the Nomination Committee inappropriate.
The Nomination Committee shall fulfil the tasks set out in the Swedish Corporate Governance Code and shall submit proposals to each Annual General Meeting (and, if applicable, Extraordinary General Meeting) on the following matters:
- proposal for Chairman of the Annual General Meeting,
- proposal for Board of Directors,
- proposal for Chairman of the Board of Directors,
- proposal for auditors,
- proposal for remuneration to the Board of Directors, including distribution between the Chairman and the other members of the Board of Directors,
- proposal for remuneration to the auditors of the company, and
- to the extent that it is deemed necessary, changes to the principles of the appointment of the Nomination Committee and the instruction for the Nomination Committee.
No remuneration shall be paid to the Members of the Nomination Committee. However, the company shall bear reasonable costs associated with the work of the Nomination Committee.
The principles of the appointment of the Nomination Committee and the instructions for the Nomination are proposed to apply until further notice.
