Recommendation to the Board regarding election of chair and deputy chair

Ann-Christin Gjerdseth Andersen has been a Board member since 2019, deputy chair since July 2020 and chair of the Board since June 2021. The Nomination Committee recommends further that the Board elects Petter Dragesund as the new deputy-chair.

Recommendations by the Nomination Committee of Quantafuel ASA to the company's Annual General Meeting May 25 2022

1. The composition and mandate of the Nomination Committee

  • Since the Annual General Meeting of Quantafuel on 28.05.21 the Company's Nomination Committee has consisted of the following persons:
  • Beate Hamre Deck (Chair), Ragnar Søegaard (member), and Morten Müller-Nilssen (member).
  • They are all independent of the company's Board and management.

2. The work of the Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee has held 15 meetings, including individual conversations with all members of the Board and the CEO. The committee has in addition had a dialogue with several of the main shareholders in the company. No formal Board evaluation has been carried out this year, this would have been beneficial for the committees work and is recommended going forward.

In preparing its proposal, the Nomination Committee has considered the need for broad and relevant competence and experience reflecting the company's actual developmental phases and strategic ambitions. In addition to the ability to fulfil the Board's ordinary assignments and the independence of each Board member, the Nomination Committee consider it central to ensure the continuity in the work of the Board given the ongoing process of realising a pioneer technology. Given the change in the Board composition during 2021, the committee sees a need for additional financial market competence and network. These considerations lay the foundation for the recommendations below.

3. Members of the Board of Directors 2021/22

Based on the resolution by the Annual General Meeting in May 2021, the composition of the Board has been as follows:

  • Ann-Christin Gjerdseth Andersen, Chair
  • Oscar Spieler, Deputy Chair of the Board (until 30.12. 2021)
  • Thorleif Enger, Board member
  • Maximilian Walter, Board member
  • Wenche Teigland, Board member
  • Kasper Trebbien, Board member
  • Margrethe Smith, Board member
  • Berit Koppervik, Board member elected by and among the employees

According to the Articles of Association the total number of Board members are limited to 8, including the member elected by and among the employees. As being ASA there should be minimum 3 female Board members.
