Item 6 – 7 – Determination of the number of board members and election of new board member
The shareholder Elementa, who controls approximately 18.5 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company, has requested that the board of directors convene an EGM to appoint a representative to the Company’s board of directors, nominated by Elementa. Elementa proposes that the board of directors shall consist of six (6) board members until the next annual general meeting and that Ludvig Blomqvist is elected as new board member.

He has previously served on the board of several companies including companies authorised by and under the supervision of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (FI).
