The Board of Directors of Castellum has continuously 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. In recent years, the Board's competence and experience has been strengthened within important areas for the business. 2016 has been a year characterised by major changes of the business, inter alia, due to the acquisition of Norrporten and restructuring within the group. There is need for continuity and consolidation, while the Board shall procure that the ongoing change process is completed.

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. Considered the above, the Election Committee proposes that all current members of the Board of Directors are re-elected.

It is proposed that the auditor's fee shall be paid as per approved accounts.

The Election Committees' proposal on electing the auditor for a one-year term of office, requires that the Annual General Meeting resolves to amend the Articles of Association of the company regarding the term of office at the election of auditor.
