BILIA’S NOMINATING COMMITTEE PROPOSES ANNA QVIBERG AS BOARD MEMBER


BILIA’S NOMINATING COMMITTEE PROPOSES ANNA QVIBERG AS BOARD MEMBER

Sven Hagströmer, member of the Board of Bilia since 2003, has announced that he is no longer available for re-election due to a new commitment that will be announced later. Nordea Funds is no longer one of the four biggest owners, and the change is not marginal. Thomas Ehlin, who represented Nordea Funds, has therefore been replaced by Henrik Bonde, who represents Östersjöstiftelsen (the Baltic Sea Foundation). As a result of Hagströmer’s decision, Bilia AB’s Nominating Committee – consisting of Henrik Bonde representing Östersjöstiftelsen, Anders Elsell representing Investment AB Öresund, Hans Hedström representing HQ Funds and Eva Qviberg representing the Qviberg family and Mats Qviberg, the Chairman of Bilia AB – has decided to recommend that the AGM appoint Anna Qviberg to the Board instead. The Nominating Committee’s amended proposal is thereby: Re-election of the following members: Heinrich Blauert, Eva Cederbalk, Jack Forsgren, Mats Holgerson, Ingrid Jonasson Blank, Jan Pettersson, Mats Qviberg and Jon Risfelt. In addition, the Committee proposes that Svante Paulsson and Anna Qviberg be elected as new members of the Board. Sven Hagströmer and Gerard Versteegh have declined re-election. Anna Qviberg, born 1982, has been marketing coordinator at Skistar since 2009. For the past 4 years she has worked with marketing and been involved in marketing strategies, media purchasing, business development and customer care projects. Anna Qviberg owns 915,000 shares in Bilia. Svante Paulsson, born 1972, has nearly 15 years’ experience in different positions in the car business. Today Paulsson is CEO of Backahill AB and member of the boards of Fabege AB, PEAB AB and Ängelholms Näringsliv AB. Backahill owns 125,000 shares in Bilia. It is proposed that Mats Qviberg continue in the post of Chairman.
