KappAhl has, at Mellby Gård's request, convened an Extraordinary General Meeting on 7 November 2019 at 10:00 a.m. for, among other things, the election of a new Board. Mellby Gård, which holds more than 90 percent of the total number of shares and votes in KappAhl, proposes that the Board shall be composed of four ordinary Board members, that Sven Knutsson is elected as new Board member, that the current Board members Thomas Gustafsson, Göran Bille and Cecilia Kocken are re-elected and that Thomas Gustafsson is elected as new Chairman of the Board. Anders Bülow, Pia Rudengren, Susanne Holmberg and Kicki Olivensjö will resign as Board members, and the Board will therefore, provided that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves in accordance with the proposal, be composed of Thomas Gustafsson (Chairman of the Board), Sven Knutsson, Göran Bille and Cecilia Kocken until the end of the next Annual General Meeting.

At the Annual General Meeting 2018, it was resolved that remuneration should be paid with SEK 200,000 to each elected Board Member and with SEK 400,000 for the Chairman of the Board. Mellby Gård proposes that the remuneration for each elected Board Member as well as the remuneration for the Chairman of the Board shall remain unchanged until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, and that the remuneration shall be distributed pro rata between the resigning Board Members and the new elected Board Members in relation to the amount of time the position is held.

Mellby Gård also proposes that the Annual General Meeting's resolution on the Nomination Committee shall be abolished. The nomination work will be carried out by KappAhl's majority shareholder, Mellby Gård, going forward.

Considering the new shareholder structure in KappAhl, the Nomination Committee has not been involved in the preparation of the above proposals.
