The board has five shareholder-elected directors. Kristian Monsen Røkke (chair), Annette Beate Waknitz Malm Justad (deputy chair), Lene Landøy (director), Seung Deok Park (director) and Audun Stensvold (director).

The proposal to replace all the existing shareholder-elected directors with new directors to the board is put forward by the shareholder Hanwha Solutions Corporation. The following individuals have been proposed to comprise the shareholder-elected directors of the board of REC Silicon ASA:
The nomination committee notes that the proposed election of new directors is compliant with the Norwegian Limited Public Companies Act's requirement to have both sexes represented on the board of directors. Hanwha Solutions Corporation has stated that the proposed board composition is compliant with the requirements for independence as set out in the Norwegian Code of Practice for corporate governance, and also that it is compliant with the requirement for residency within EEA member states.
The nomination committee has not been involved in the identification of the proposed new directors and has not performed any procedures to assess their qualifications as directors of the company's board. Consequently, the nomination committee is not in the position to render a recommendation to the extraordinary general meeting as to the proposed election of new directors to the board.
All the members of the nomination committee have notified that they find it appropriate to resign. In order to give ample time to identify new members of the nomination committee, the election will take place at the 2022 annual general meeting.

Such recommendation would concern prospective conditions that the current nomination committee does not find it appropriate to propose.

| Position | (NOK) |
|---|---|
| Chair | 650 000 |
| Deputy chair | 450 000 |
| Each of the other directors | 375 000 |
The annual general meeting in 2021 did not approve any additional fee to the members of the audit committee for the period from the annual general meeting in 2021 to the ordinary general meeting in 2022. As the audit committee has been in function for this period, the nomination committee proposes the following additional fees for the members of the audit committee for the period 2021- 22.
| Position | Proposal (NOK) |
|---|---|
| Chair of the audit committee | 175 000 |
| Each of the other members of the audit committee | 100 000 |
As stated in the Section 2 above, the current nomination committee will not propose fees to the board of directors for the future period.
The 2021 annual general meeting approved the following fees to the members of the nomination committee for the annual period from the ordinary general meeting in 2021.
| Position | (NOK) |
