The nomination committee shall consist of between two and three members. The majority of the members shall be independent from the board of directors and the executive management. No more than one member of the nomination committee should be a member of the board of directors, and any such member should not offer himself for re-election to the board. Members are elected for two years at a time, unless otherwise has been resolved by the general meeting.
The Company's general meeting elects the members of the nomination committee and determines their remuneration. Costs incurred by the nomination committee shall be covered by the Company.
The nomination committee shall recommend:
The nomination of candidates for election of members, including the chair, to the board of directors should take the following into account:
Before nominating a candidate for election, the nomination committee must seek confirmation from the individual in question that he or she is willing to accept the appointment if elected (i.e. obtain a declaration of willingness from such person).
Recommendations for remuneration of the members of the board of directors and the nomination committee, respectively, should take into account such body's significance, and ensure that the proposal is suited to the character and time commitment of the tasks carried out.
The recommendations should include explanations detailing how each of the candidates fulfil the shareholders' and the Company's needs. Such reasoning shall include information about the competence, capacity and independence of each candidate. The information about a candidate should include his or her age, education and professional experience. Any ownership interest in the Company must be disclosed, as shall any assignments on behalf of the Company and any significant position in or assignments for other companies or organisations.
The nomination committee shall consider the need for changes in the composition of the board of directors, and shall maintain contact with different shareholders, members of the board of directors and the executive management of the Company. The nomination committee must consider the board of directors' annual evaluation report closely. In the event of a suggestion of re-election of board members, the recommendation should also state how long the candidate has served as a member of the board of directors, and should detail his or her participation in board meetings.
The recommendations should also describe the working process of the nomination committee.
The nomination committee shall be responsible for proposing the remuneration to the members of the board of directors and the nomination committee. The nomination committee's proposals in this respect shall include an explanation of how the committee has arrived at its recommendations.
The chairman of the nomination committee has the main responsibility for the committee's work, and shall ensure that the committee has adequate access to necessary competence. In relation to this, the committee may use company resources or seek advice and recommendations from external sources.
The nomination committee will hold meetings to reach its decisions. The nomination committee's meetings are held after they are called for by the chairman, who is obliged to call for a meeting if one of the members of the committee so requests. The nomination committee's meetings may be held in person, by phone or by video.
The nomination committee constitutes a quorum when at least half of its members are present at the meeting and all members have been given the opportunity to participate. Each member has one vote and decisions made by the nomination committee require simple majority of the votes represented at the meeting. In the event of an equal number of votes, the chairman of the nomination committee has the casting vote. The nomination committee shall produce written minutes of its meetings and shall deliver its minutes to the Company for safekeeping.
The nomination committee must look actively to the shareholders and anchor the recommendation with the Company's largest shareholders. It must ensure that information of any deadlines for proposing candidates or making suggestions to the nomination committee regarding elections of members of the board of directors and the nomination committee is made available on the Company's website.
The board of directors will pass on its evaluation of its own activities and competence to the nomination committee. The chairman of the board and the Chief Executive Officer must be summoned to at least one nomination committee meeting before the committee gives its final recommendation. The committee must collect relevant information from the Company's administration or other individuals, including from shareholders and the board of directors.
The nomination committee's recommendations shall be completed in time to be made accessible to the shareholders, together with the notice to the general meeting at the very latest. The recommendation should be submitted in writing to the chairman of the board of directors.
The chairman of the nomination committee presents the recommendation to the general meeting.
Given its duties, the nomination committee shall, to the greatest extent possible, ensure that information on the candidates considered for nomination is kept confidential.
The nomination committee shall keep all information it receives or collects on possible candidates confidential, and shall ensure that all such information is stored in a satisfactory manner.
