To meet these objectives, it has been decided to optimise the Company’s management model, with the intention that, upon the expiry of the current Board’s term of office, the Company’s key management competencies will be concentrated in a single body – the Board.
Following the approval of the new wording of the Company’s Articles of Association, the Board will consist of six members, four of whom will be independent. For this purpose, a selection process for Board members is being launched. Candidates selected to the Board may also be appointed as members of Board committees, taking into account the planned change whereby committees will be formed from Board members. Following an assessment of its members’ competencies, the Board will decide on appointments to the Remuneration and Appointment Committee and the Audit Committee.
Following the successful selection of the members of the Board, it is planned to appoint the Board for the new term of office at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 30 April 2026.
