Stine Bosse proposed as new chairman of the board of Directors
At the forthcoming annual general meeting of BankNordik it is proposed to the general assembly to elect new members of the Board of Directors.
The current members of the Board of Directors elected by the general assembly all resign from the Board at the forthcoming general meeting. The current members are Chairman Klaus Rasmussen, former state authorised auditor, deputy chairman Jens Erik Christensen, former CEO of Codan, Niels Vestermark, former regional director at Sydbank, and Nils Sørensen, director at Faroe Petroleum.
Two shareholders, The Financing Fund of 1992 and Lind Invest Aps, propose the following candidates to be elected by the general assembly to the Board of Directors: Stine Bosse, former CEO of Tryg A/S, as chairman of the Board, Rúni Vang Poulsen, CEO of Smyril Line, Súsanna Poulsen, CEO of Hjelmeland Sparekasse in Norway, and Jógvan Jespersen, managing director of the Faroese Pelagic Industry Organisation.
Klaus Rasmussen, resigning Chairman of the Board comments:
“At some point of time there has to be a change of the members of the board, and now seems to be a decent time.
The resigning members of the board have in aggregate sat on the board for quite a few years. The members have participated in introducing the Bank’s shares to the public, and lead the Bank safely through the financial crisis. During this period the Bank has experienced an extraordinary development, becoming present in several different geographical markets, as well as the company has more than doubled in size in the last seven years. In recent years the Bank has managed to adjust itself, and the latest annual report shows forth a strong bank with a good financial position ripe for further development.
BankNordik has become an attractive company managing to attract competent man power – also to the Board of Directors. It is very good news, that it has succeeded to attract such a great capacity as Stine Bosse to the Board of Directors. She has been heading one of the largest Nordic financial groups, and thereafter also sat on the Board of Directors for Nordea, the largest Nordic bank, and Allianz, one of the largest companies in Europe. This is a strong verification of the Bank’s current position, and I wish her the best of luck in further developing the Bank, when she takes over the helm of the Board.”
Please see the enclosed notice to convene the Annual General Meeting of P/F BankNordik 2015.
