According to the Code, the majority of the board members elected by the general meeting shall be independent of the Company and its management. In determining whether or not a board member is independent, an overall assessment shall be made of all the circumstances that could call into question the independence of the board member in relation to the Company or its management.
Furthermore, according to the Code, at least two of the board members who are independent in relation to the Company and its management shall also be independent in relation to major shareholders. Major shareholders refer to shareholders who directly or indirectly control ten percent or more of all shares and votes in the Company. To determine a board member’s independence, the extent of the member’s direct and indirect relationships with the major shareholder must be considered. A board member who is an employee or a board member of a company that is a major shareholder is not considered to be independent.
The board members and the board of directors’ assessment of the board members’ independence in relation to the Company and its management and in relation to major shareholders are presented in the table above. As indicated, it is the board of directors’ assessment that the Company fulfils the Code’s requirement with regard to independence.
