At Trelleborg's Annual General Meeting on April 27, 2017, the Chairman of the Board was assigned the task of asking the five largest shareholders, in terms of votes registered on August 31, 2017, to appoint one member each to the Nomination Committee prior to the 2018 Annual General Meeting.
The following have agreed to participate in the Nomination Committee:

The Chairman of the Board, Sören Mellstig, has after ten years as a board member, including five years as its Chairman, declared that he is not available for re-election. The Nomination Committee has therefore today decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting 2018, the election of current Director, Hans Biörck, as the new Chairman of the Board.
Hans Biörck has been a Director of the Board of Trelleborg since 2009.
