Iconovo AB today announces that the company's Nomination Committee has decided to revise its proposal for the annual general meeting to be held today 9 June 2025 by proposing that Christer Fåhraeus is elected as a new member of the Board of Directors in addition to the Board members previously proposed. The background for the revision is that the Nomination Committee has been informed that FSG Fund II AB ("FSG") has participated in the recently completed rights issue and that FSG, after final registration of the rights issue, will hold approximately 15.5 per cent of the shares and votes in Iconovo.
Ahead of the annual general meeting, the Nomination Committee originally proposed that the Board of Directors shall consist of six members, that Berndt Axelsson, Mats Johansson, Orest Lastow and Carl Lindgren are re-elected as ordinary Board members, that Erik Westerlund and Andreas Engström are elected as new ordinary Board members, and that Carl Lindgren is re-elected as Chairman of the Board. Since the Nomination Committee has been informed that FSG has participated in the rights issue that has just been completed and that FSG, after final registration of the rights issue, will hold approximately 15.5 per cent[1] of the shares and votes in Iconovo, the Nomination Committee has, after discussions with FSG, decided to revise its proposal by proposing, in addition to the persons previously proposed, that Christer Fåhraeus is elected as a new member of the Board of Directors.
Accordingly, the Nomination Committee's revised proposal is that the Board of Directors shall consist of seven members, that Berndt Axelsson, Mats Johansson, Orest Lastow and Carl Lindgren are re-elected as ordinary Board members, that Erik Westerlund, Andreas Engström and Christer Fåhraeus are elected as new ordinary Board members, and that Carl Lindgren is re-elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Christer Fåhraeus has announced that he declines remuneration for his board duties. The Nomination Committee's proposal regarding Board remuneration in general remains unchanged in relation to the original proposal.
"We are very pleased to welcome Christer as a proposed Board member and FSG as the second largest shareholder in the company. Christer has a solid experience and expertise in building successful companies in Life Science that we will benefit greatly from on the Board. Furthermore, we see FSG's investment in the company as an acknowledgement of the commercial potential and opportunity that exists in Iconovo.", says Mats Johansson, Chairman of the Nomination Committee.
