Proposal from the Election Committee in Vistin Pharma ASA for the Annual General Meeting 8 May 2018
The following constitute the Election Committee of Vistin Pharma ASA:
- Martin Nes (Chairman)
- Nils Erling Ødegaard
The Election Committee has evaluated the work of the Board of Directors, and received input from shareholders about the composition of the Board.
Election of Board members
None of the shareholder elected Board members are up for election in 2018. However, due to the proposed development of a new major business area for Vistin Pharma within energy trading activities, the Election Committee is of the opinion that the Board's competence within this area, both in terms of trading activity and regulatory framework, should be strengthened.
The Election Committee has thus the following proposal for changes to the Board. The Board member Ingrid Elvira Leisner will step down from the Board, while the following new members are elected for a two-year period:
