The Shareholder Nomination Board’s motivation to the Board composition

The Nomination Committee has come to the conclusion that the proposed composition of the Board of Directors, consisting of five Board Members, is in good agreement with the requirements placed on the Board of Directors. The Nomination Board has specifically considered the competence areas within;

  1. The Company’s business activities and industry;
  2. the Management of a public company of a corresponding size;
  3. corporate and financial administration;
  4. strategy work as well as mergers and acquisitions;
  5. internal control and risk management; and (vi) corporate governance.

The Nomination Board is of the opinion that the current composition of the Board is appropriate for the time being and that the Board Members complement each other well with regards to competences, qualifications and experiences.

The Nomination Board has considered the independence requirements on the Board Members contained in the Finnish Corporate Governance Code and noted that the proposal of the composition of the Board is in accordance with the requirements. The Nomination Board has also considered the diversity requirements of the Board contained in the Finnish Corporate Governance Code and noted that the gender distribution in the board is not equally distributed. The Nomination Board will continue its process to, in a longer perspective, further strengthen the diversity of the Board.
