the close of next Annual General Meeting.

The Nomination Board proposes that the current members of the Board of Directors
Anne Leskelä, Harri Pynnä, Harri Suutari and Petteri Walldén are re-elected. The
Nomination Board proposes that the number of Board members will be reduced by
one from the current five, and that Board member Asko Nevala would no longer
continue in his role. Restoring the number of Board members to four aims at cost
efficient administration.The number of Board members was increased from four to
five in the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 1 July 2019 where the
acquisition of Komas Oy was resolved. In accordance with the conclusion of this
acquisition, Marko Penttinen was appointed as the President and CEO of
Componenta, and his predecessor Harri Suutari was elected as a member of the
Board of Directors.

2015 until August 2019. All nominees have given their consent to the position.

the Board of Directors’ diversity policy, including its aim to ensure continuity
by nominating Board members who have long term experience of the company’s
business.

the Board of Directors remains unchanged. The members of the Board of Directors
who will be elected to the term continuing to the Annual General Meeting 2021,
will be paid annual remuneration as follows: EUR 50,000 to the Chairman and EUR

decides to establish committees, an annual fee of EUR 5,000 will be paid to the
members of Board committees. Travel expenses of the members of the Board of
Directors will be compensated in accordance with the company’s travel policy.
