Volati’s Nomination Committee’s proposals for AGM 2023

The Nomination Committee of Volati AB (publ) has decided to propose re-election of board members Anna-Karin Celsing, Björn Garat, Karl Perlhagen, Magnus Sundström, Christina Tillman and Patrik Wahlén and election of Maria Edsman as board member. Louise Nicolin has declined re-election. The Committee also proposes the re-election of Patrik Wahlén as Chairman of the Board and the re‑election of Ernst & Young Aktiebolag as auditor until the close of the next annual general meeting

Maria Edsman is proposed as new board member. Maria Edsman, born 1968, has several years of experience as managing director of Bokusgruppen AB (publ) and prior to that managing director assignments at Polarn O. Pyret and Brothers. In addition to assignments within the Bokusgruppen group, Maria Edsman is a board member of Rusta AB and Svenska Bokhandlareföreningens Service AB, Managing Director and board member of Galadriel AB and deputy board member of Tekholmen AB. Maria Edsman has no other ongoing company or board assignments. Maria Edsman (and related parties to her) owns 1,631 ordinary shares in Volati AB (publ). The nomination committee is of the opinion that Maria Edsman, pursuant to the Swedish Corporate Governance Code, is independent in relation to the company's major shareholders but that she is not independent in relation to the company and its management as she is the managing director of Bokusgruppen AB (publ) (which until June 2021 was included as a subsidiary in the Volati group).

The Nomination Committee consists of Carin Wahlén (chair, representing Patrik Wahlén), Karl Perlhagen (representing his own holdings) and Jannis Kitsakis (representing the Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund). The Nomination Committee’s complete proposals will be available on Volati’s website, www.volati.se.
