The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes the Board of Directors to have seven (7) members.
The Nomination Board proposes that all of the current members of the Board of Directors – Teemu Kangas-Kärki, Laura Lares, Sakari Lassila, Jukka Leinonen, Anni Ronkainen and Pasi Tolppanen – be re-elected to the Board of Directors and that Juuso Maijala be elected as a new member.

All of the candidates have given their consent to the election and are independent of the company and its significant shareholders.
A brief presentation of Juuso Maijala is available on Lassila & Tikanoja’s website at https://www.lt.fi/en/company/management-and-board-of-directors/board-of-directors. The current members of the Board of Directors are presented on the same page.
