The Nomination Committee of GreenGold Group AB (publ) (hereinafter “GreenGold”) proposes the election of Torsten Jansson and Stefan Dahlbo as new members of the Board of Directors. Malcolm Cecil-Cockwell, Gudmundur Jónsson, Johanna Ikäheimo, Martin Randel and Fredrik Persson are proposed for re-election as Board members. Göran Persson, who has served as Chairman since 2018, has declined re-election, and Malcolm Cecil-Cockwell is therefore proposed as Chairman of the Board.
“Since Göran Persson has chosen to step aside after serving as Chairman since the company’s establishment more than eight years ago, I am pleased to announce that Malcolm Cecil-Cockwell, who has been a Board member since 2023, has agreed to assume the role of Chairman. I am also very pleased to propose the election of two seasoned individuals with extensive experience in listed environments and capital markets, as well as in investments, real estate transactions, leadership and business development. Torsten and Stefan will be valuable additions to the Board, working together with the other members and management to drive continued growth and development, including a future IPO. The Nomination Committee would also like to take this opportunity to thank Göran Persson for his valuable contributions and efforts on the Board,” says the Chairman of the Nomination Committee, Carl Lindgren.
“Sorin Chiorescu, member of the Nomination Committee, major shareholder and CEO, added: I have worked with Göran in GreenGold for more than 12 years, even before the company’s current structure. Göran has been instrumental in GreenGold’s development and success. At the same time, a generational transition is natural, even though he will remain as a senior advisor and shareholder in the company. On behalf of the entire company, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for his exemplary chairmanship and moral leadership over all these years. I am also very pleased that Malcolm has agreed to take on the role of Chairman. Malcolm brings deep forestry expertise, an international network and mindset, hands-on experience from a listed pure-play timberland company in North America and strong drive, which will benefit GreenGold for many years to come. I am also proud that GreenGold continues to attract well-known and experienced individuals such as Torsten and Stefan, whom I very much look forward to working with.”
