Information on Agenda Item 7

Information on the candidates nominated for election to the Supervisory Board

New elections to the Supervisory Board 

The term of office of all Supervisory Board members terminates with the end of the Annual General Meeting taking place on May 4, 2022. Hence, an election by the Annual General Meeting of the shareholder representatives at the Supervisory Board is required. 

The Supervisory Board consists of twelve members and is to be composed of six shareholder representatives and six employee representatives. The shareholder representatives are appointed by the General Meeting. The employee representatives are appointed by the SE Works Council.   

In order to consider the objectives for the composition of the Supervisory Board , especially the age limit and the length of the term of membership, and, in order to respond flexibly to changes in the competence requirements, the proposed term of office for some of the candidates listed below shall not encompass the regular term of office of four years. This will also enable the incremental formation of a “staggered board” for the future.
