The nomination committee's recommendations to the annual

general meeting in BEWI ASA on 4 June 2024

The nomination committee in BEWI ASA has the following composition:

  • Liv Malvik, Chair
  • Roar Husby

The nomination committee has held regular meetings since the previous general meeting.

During this period, the committee has assessed the board's work and composition based on the competence needs of BEWI ASA, the company's situation, opportunities, and challenges.

The nomination committee has contacted and encouraged the company's three largest shareholders to provide suggestions, if any, relating to the composition of the board, and has also been in dialogue with the respective board members of the company who are up for election this year. In addition, the nomination committee has asked for input to the election of new members to the nomination committee, as both current members of the nomination committee are up for election.

The nomination committee has also reviewed the company's board survey, which was carried out in the autumn of 2023. The survey reflects a well-composed board with good working processes.

Against the background of the macroeconomic situation, 2023 has been a more challenging year for the company, and thus also for the company's board. The nomination committee considers that the current board functions well as a collegium and that the board has broad and relevant expertise and a good understanding of the company's strategic challenges and opportunities.

For the general meeting of BEWI ASA on 4 June 2024, the nomination committee presents the following recommendations:

1. Election of members to the board of directors

The nomination committee recommends the re-election of the board members who are up for election in 2024.
