The Nomination Committee s proposals on the Board ahead of the Annual General Meeting 2019 are presented below, including motivated opinions. The Nomination Committee s other proposals are stated in the notice of the Annual General Meeting.

The Nomination Committee has held six meetings, with additional candidate interviews and discussions between the meetings. The Nomination Committee have from Resurs Holding received information regarding the rules and procedures with respect to corporate
2 (5) governance, suitability assessments etcetera, that inter alia affect the assignment of proposing members to the Board of Resurs Holding. In its assessment of the extent to which the present Board meets the requirements placed on it, the Nomination Committee has in particular paid attention to the Board s composition and how the Board works as a group as well as the balance and diversity of experiences. The Nomination Committee has also had the benefit of a formal evaluation of the Board and its individual members and have conducted own interviews with a selection of the current members. The Nomination Committee s motivated statement regarding its proposals The Nomination Committee s opinion is that the work of the Board is functioning very well. The Nomination Committee believes that the proposed members together represent the experience, knowledge and competence required in order to continue to lead and develop the company. However, the Nomination Committee found that it would be valuable for the Board to obtain even more know-how within e.g. consumer-oriented service development in general and in particular linked to changed customer behavior in an increasingly digitised world. The Nomination Committee believes that Johanna Berlinde (see below for further information) will be a strong supplement to the other Board members and add such further know-how to the Board. The Nomination Committee applies the Swedish Corporate Governance Code s rule 4.1 as diversity policy and believes that the Swedish Corporate Governance Code s requirements for diversity and breadth will be met through the Nomination Committee s proposal. The Nomination Committee s believes that diversity is important and that it is important for future Nomination Committees to continue to work actively in order to achieve gender balance. The Nomination Committee s long-term ambition of improving the balance between men and women on the Board remains. The Nomination Committee believes the composition of the proposed Board is fit-for-purpose in respect of a compounding mix of skill-sets and experiences corresponding with Resurs Holding s key priorities. Assessment of independence In its work of preparing the proposals to the Annual General Meeting 2019 the Nomination Committee has evaluated each Board member s independence in accordance with the Swedish Corporate Governance Code. The Nomination Committee has assessed that 9 out of the 10 proposed members of the Board are independent of the Company and its management, and that 8 out of the 10 proposed members of the Board are independent in relation to the Company s major shareholders (see below for further information on independence). Accordingly, the Nomination Committee s proposed Board composition is compliant with the Board s independence rules of the Swedish Corporate Governance Code.
