Nomination Committee's nominees for Orkla's new Board of Directors
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Orkla's Nomination Committee proposes that Åge Korsvold not be replaced by a new
member of the Board of Directors, and intends to propose that he be re-elected
to the Board once a new CEO is in place. Efforts are being made to find a new
member of the Board of Directors to succeed Åse Aulie Michelet who announced
that she will not be seeking re-election this year as a consequence of having a
new position. The other directors are nominated for re-election.
The Nomination Committee recommends the re-election of Stein Erik Hagen, Bjørg
Ven, Peter Ruzicka, Jesper Ovesen and Barbara M. Thoralfsson to Orkla's Board of
Directors. Stein Erik Hagen is nominated for re-election as Chair of the Board.
There is no new nomination for a deputy chair to succeed Åge Korsvold at this
time. The Corporate Assembly will adopt a decision at its meeting on 24 May.
In keeping with the provisions of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act,
Åge Korsvold resigned as Deputy Chair of Orkla's Board of Directors on 30 April
when he took office as Acting President and CEO. The Nomination Committee
intends to propose Åge Korsvold for re-election to the Board of Directors once a
new CEO is in place.
As reported by Chair of the Nomination Committee Idar Kreutzer at the Annual
General Meeting of Orkla ASA on 19 April, Åse Aulie Michelet notified the
Nomination Committee that she would not be standing for re-election this year as
a consequence of having a new position. The Nomination Committee has hired
outside assistance to help identify relevant candidates, and will convene an
extraordinary meeting of the Corporate Assembly when the Nomination Committee's
recommendation is submitted, probably after the summer holiday.
