The Nomination Committee currently comprises Mr. Bjarte Bøe and Ms. Elaine Yew Wen Suen. A description of the profiles of the members of the Nomination Committee can be accessed at the Company's website at https://www.bwoffshore.com/about-us/leadership/.
The Nomination Committee has met once since the Annual General Meeting of the Company in May 2024 and has in addition, relied on e-mail and telephone conversations to conclude its work. It has received the Board of Directors' performance evaluation for 2024 and used this, and dialogue with members of the Board, as input in its review of the functioning of the Board of Directors, and to identify any potential competence gaps.
In its assessment of the Board composition, the Nomination Committee has taken account of views expressed therein while at the same time seeking to comply with the considerations set out in the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance concerning the composition of the Board of Directors.
The Nomination Committee acknowledges that the interests of the Company are best served by having a broadly based Board of Directors, with reference to experience, background and competencies. The Nomination Committee has not identified any specific experience or capability gaps with the current Board composition.
The Company's Board of Directors currently consists of the following Directors, and their profiles are presented on the Company's webpage:
