Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee is the shareholders’ governing body, which nominates Board members and the Auditor and proposes their fees, among other things.

Principles and tasks

The Nomination Committee’s work is founded on the assumption that the Board’s composition should reflect diversity and spread in terms of the competence, experience and background of its members. An even gender distribution is desirable. The bank’s operations, stage of development and future direction are also taken into account. While it is important that the Board has the support of shareholders, it also has to be independent in relation to the bank and its executive management, as well as to the bank’s major shareholders.

The 2024 AGM decided on the principles for the appointment of the Nomination Committee for the 2025 AGM. The principles include that the committee will comprise of six members: the Chair of the Board and representatives from the five largest shareholders (based on known data on the last business day in August 2024), on the assumption that they wish to appoint a member. The Nomination Committee’s mandate shall be for the period until a new Nomination Committee has been constituted, which is normally in September each year.
