In order to assess the degree to which the board fulfills the requirements that are placed on the board as a result of the company's current position and future direction, the Nomination Committee's discussions have focused on the board's composition in terms of size, experience, expertise, diversity and gender distribution and on the compensation packages provided to the board members, especially taking the increased US focus onto consideration. The Nomination Committee has also assessed each member's ability to devote sufficient time and commitment to the board assignment. Further, the chair of the board has ensured that the Nomination Committee has received relevant information about the boards' work during the year.
The Nomination Committee is of the opinion that this proposed board has the appropriate composition, characterized by versatility and breadth in terms of expertise, experience and background as provided for in rule 4.1 of the Swedish Corporate Governance Code (the "Code"). In relation to gender balance, two out of the six board members are female. The ambition is to reach the levels defined by the Swedish Corporate Governance Board to be gender balanced (40%), and gender will actively be considered when making future changes in the board composition. Concludingly, with considerations to the status of the company and the strategy with the increased focus on the US market, the Nomination Committee believes that the board going forward has the composition in terms of experience and expertise of the board members matching the needs of the company at the current stage.
The Nomination Committee also considers that the proposed composition of the board fulfills the requirements of the Code regarding the independence of the board members. According to the Nomination Committee, all proposed board members are independent in relation to the company and its senior management, and in relation to major shareholders.
