Current Chairman, Per Zellman, has declined re-election due to personal reasons. He leaves a strong mark after three years on the board, two of which as Chairman. Per Zellman will remain as Chairman of the board until the Annual General Meeting.

Oskar Säfström, BA (Hons) Business, Dublin Business School, is an entrepreneur and investor with extensive experience in developing growth and technology companies. He is currently a board member in several companies operating in IT, telecom, security and real estate, and since 2017 has been Chairman of the Board of InfraCom Group AB, listed on NGM Nordic SME. His background in corporate finance and corporate governance, combined with a strong shareholder perspective as a major owner in Smoltek, makes him well suited to assume the role of Chairman of the Board of a development company with international growth ambitions.

Lena Olving, chair of the nomination committee, comments:  
"As chairman, Per Zellman has laid a solid foundation for Smoltek's development. Oskar Säfström's solid strategic and financial experience, together with his background as chairman of the board of other listed companies, makes him a very relevant chairman in the company's current stage of development."

Oskar Säfström comments:  
"I am honored to be nominated and look forward to contributing my experience to support Smoltek's development in licensing deals and strategic initiatives."
