STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Nov. 11, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Ahead of AB Lindex's Annual General Meeting on 20 December 2005, the Nomination Committee proposes the election of Susanne Rosberg as a new board member. The Committee also proposes the re-election of Christer Gardell, Conny Karlsson, Bengt Larsson, Lars Otterbeck, Nora Forisdal Larssen and Lars Forberg as board members. Kicki Olivensjo has resigned from the Board as she is now the company's Purchasing Director.
The new board member, Susanne Rosberg, was born in 1957. She is an MBA graduate of the Stockholm School of Economics and runs her own retail management consultancy. Before that, she was a member of the group management of Ahlens AB. Susanne Rosberg is a board member of Granngarden AB and Fujifilm Sverige AB. She owns no shares in Lindex.
The Nomination Committee is of the opinion that Susanne Rosberg with her experience and competence will eminently supplement the Board of Directors and that she is independent in relation to the company.
Christer Gardell is proposed for re-election as Chairman.
Shareholders representing approximately 45 percent of the votes in the company have announced that they will support the Nomination Committee's proposal for the new Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting.
The Annual General Meeting of AB Lindex will be held in Chalmers karhus, Chalmersplatsen 1, Goteborg at 4 pm on 20 December 2005. The Notice of the Annual General Meeting of AB Lindex will be published on Tuesday, 15 November 2005.
