The Nomination Committee of Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has informed
the Company that it proposes that the shareholders elect at the
Annual General Meeting 2023 ten ordinary board members with no
deputy directors. The Nomination Committee proposes that the
following persons be elected as board members:
Jan Carlson, Chairman (re-election)
Helena Stjernholm (re-election)
Jacob Wallenberg (re-election)
Jon Fredrik Baksaas (re-election)
Carolina Dybeck Happe (re-election)
Börje Ekholm (re-election)
Eric.Elzvik (re-election)
Kristin S. Rinne (re-election)
Christy Wyatt (new election)
Jonas Synnergren (new election)
Ronnie Leten, the current Chairman of the board, has informed he
will not stand for re-election to the Board at the next Annual
General Meeting. Ronnie was elected to the Ericsson board of
directors as Chairman in 2018 and will continue to serve as
Chairman for the remainder of his term. The Nomination Committee
hence proposes that, the current board member, Jan Carlson be
elected by the Annual General Meeting 2023 as new Chairman of the
Ericsson Board.
Kurt Jofs and Nora Denzel have informed the Nomination Committee
that they will not be available for re-election at the Annual
General Meeting 2023.
It is the Nomination Committee's assessment that each of the
proposed board members, with their respective experiences, adds
valuable expertise and experience to the Board. Christy Wyatt's and
Jonas Synnergren's extensive international business experiences and
deep software, enterprise and technology expertise will be of
additional value to Ericsson and will further strengthen the board
of directors.
Christy Wyatt is born 1972 and holds a Diploma of Scientific
Computer Programming Technology from the College of Geographic
Sciences in Canada. Christy has long-term international business
experience from senior management roles within DTEX Systems, Good
Technology and Motorola and is currently the President and CEO of
Absolute Software.
Jonas Synnergren is born 1977 and holds a Master of Science in
Business and Economics from Stockholm School of Economics in
Sweden. Jonas has long-term international business experience as a
Board member of Veoneer, Tieto and Metso and is currently a board
member of Nordea. In addition, Jonas is Senior Partner in Cevian
Capital, one of Ericsson's shareholders.
Information of the board members proposed for re-election can be
found on the company's website ( www.ericsson.com ).
The company expects to hold its Annual General Meeting on March
29, 2023, and the Nomination Committee's complete proposals and
motivated statement will be announced in due time before the Annual
General Meeting.
Johan Forssell, Chairman of the Nomination Committee says: "We
believe that Ericsson has a strong board of directors to continue
to drive the strategic agenda and further strengthen the culture of
the company. Jan Carlson has a long career both as CEO and
Chairman, as well as good knowledge of Ericsson after serving many
years on the board. His international experience, technology
background and personal qualities make him an excellent successor
as Chairman of the Board, securing a smooth transition from Ronnie
Leten."
Ronnie Leten says: "It has been an honor to serve on the
Ericsson board since 2018 and I am very proud of what has been
achieved. Today Ericsson is a very strong company both
strategically and financially. The company has brought 5G to the
world and regained its technology leadership."
Ronnie continues: "Börje Ekholm, since stepping in as CEO, has
turned the company around and this continues with the important
governance and cultural transformation which is underway."
Commenting on the matter, Jan Carlson stated: "Having been on
the Board since 2017, it is an honor to be put forward for the
Ericsson Chairmanship. I look forward to the Annual General Meeting
and to working closely with Börje, the Board and the executive team
as we continue to execute on our strategy."
Ericsson's Nomination Committee consists of Johan Forssell,
Investor AB (Chairman of the Nomination Committee); Karl Åberg, AB
Industrivärden, Anders Oscarsson, AMF - Tjänstepension och Fonder,
Niko Pakalén, Cevian Capital Partners Limited, and Ronnie Leten,
Chairman of the Board.
