Genovis’ founder Sarah Fredriksson proposed new Chairperson of the company – Vice President Fredrik Olsson appointed new CEO


Sarah Fredriksson, founder of Genovis, will hand over the reins at the AGM on
May 5 to Fredrik Olsson, who will become the new CEO of the company. The
Nomination Committee has submitted a new proposal to the AGM and proposes that
Sarah Fredriksson be elected to serve as the new Chair of the Board. Sarah
Fredriksson will remain in the company with responsibility for the subsidiary
GeccoDots.
Genovis' Board has decided to streamline operations to include only the core
business, enzyme products that are primarily used in pharmaceutical research and
production. The subsidiary GeccoDots will therefore be spun off and will be
financed by external funds moving forward. Sarah Fredriksson will work
operationally in GeccoDots moving forward, primarily focusing on commercial
development and stable financing.

-      “Fredrik Olsson has been with Genovis since 2002 and has helped to build
the company. Fredrik holds a degree in engineering and was born in 1971. As Vice
President he has mainly worked with business development, marketing and sales.
With his strong leadership skills, Fredrik will contribute to Genovis’ continued
expansion and commercial development,” says Sarah Fredriksson.

-        “With Sarah Fredriksson chairing the Board, continuity and expertise
within the Group are ensured,” says Mikael Lönn, chairman of the Nomination
Committee.
