Proposals to the 2014 Annual General Meeting regarding Board members and auditors

Nobia’s Nomination Committee, which represents more than 50 per cent of the
votes in Nobia, has informed the company of its proposals to the 2014 Annual
General Meeting regarding election of the members of the Board of Directors and
auditors.
The Nomination Committee proposes that Stefan Jacobsson and Ricard Wennerklint
be elected as new Board members.
Stefan Jacobsson has experience in international business and international
marketing. His previous positions include serving as President of PUMA AG and
Nybron Flooring, and he is Board Chairman of Thule Group AB and AB Interpares,
and Board member of Etac AB. Stefan Jacobsson is deemed to be independent in
relation to the company, company management and major shareholders.
Ricard Wennerklint is the Deputy CEO of If Skadeförsäkring and a member of the
Sampo Group Executive Committee. If Skadeförsäkring owns 12 per cent of the
shares in Nobia. Accordingly, Ricard Wennerklint is dependent in relation to
Nobia’s major shareholders, but is independent in relation to the company and
company management.
The Nomination Committee proposes the re-election of Morten Falkenberg, Lilian
Fossum Biner, Nora Førisdal Larssen, Johan Molin, Thore Ohlsson and Fredrik
Palmstierna. The Nomination Committee also proposes the re-election of Johan
Molin as Chairman of the Board.
The Nomination Committee proposes the re-election of registered public
accounting firm KPMG AB with Authorised Public Accountant George Pettersson as
the new Auditor in Charge to serve until the conclusion of the following Annual
General Meeting. George Petterson is the President of KPMG AB. Helene Willberg,
who has been Nobia’s Auditor in Charge for seven years, cannot be re-elected in
accordance with the Swedish Companies Act.
