The Board of Directors of Castellum has successively been renewed but with maintained continuity. The Election Committee is of the opinion that the existing Board of Directors of Castellum is a well-functioning body and that the Board members individually and as a group possesses a wide range of competence and experience that is relevant for Castellum's business. The last two years have been characterised by major changes of the business, inter alia, due to the acquisition of Norrporten, restructuring within the group and ongoing work to promote efficiency. The executive management has also been subject to several changes of personnel. Taking the above into account, the Election Committee considers that continuity within the Board of Directors is of importance and that re-election of all current members of the Board of Directors will give the Board of Directors the possibility to secure that the ongoing change process within Castellum is performed according to plan.
The Election Committee considers that the members of the Board of Directors of Castellum are competent and have extensive experience regarding real estate matters in a broad sense, sustainability matters, infrastructure matters and city planning, capital market matters and financing matters, customer service and changed customer behaviour, trend analysis, digitalization, insight in transformation trends at both private and public players, communication and marketing and regarding board work in general. Therefore, the Election Committee considers that the current Board members together constitute a Board of Directors, which has the versatility and competence, experience and background required with respect to Castellum's business, development phase and other circumstances. The Election Committee's proposal implies that four out of seven Board members of the company will be women.
