Proposal from the IBS Nomination Committee

In preparation for the 2007 Annual General Meeting (AGM), the IBS Nomination Committee has completed its proposal for the composition of the board. The committee proposes re-election of the board members Lars Nyberg and Johan Björklund and new election of Vinit Bodas, Jan Jacobsen, Gunnel Duveblad and Pallab Chatterjee. In addition, it is proposed that Lars Nyberg be re-elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Lars Nyberg, Chairman of the IBS Board of Directors and member of the Nomination Committee, comments on the proposal to the AGM.

“During 2006, the shareholder structure of IBS changed significantly. Following the decision from the AGM in May 2006, IBS appointed a nomination committee during the fourth quarter 2006 with members representing the four largest shareholders. The new committee's proposal is based on an extensive discussion and selection process of the profiles and composition needed in order to govern and support IBS in its current challenges with continued internationalization, industry specialization and outsourcing efforts in order to reach its short- and long-term targets.”
