Proposal on the members of the Board of Directors
The Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes that for the term of office ending at the termination of the Annual General Meeting 2027, the current members of the company’s Board of Directors Eero Heliövaara, Mirel Leino-Haltia, Elina Piispanen, Tomi Terho and Rodolfo Zeidler be re-elected and Tawhid Ali be elected as a new member to the Board of Directors. Niklas Sörensen, current member of the Board of Directors, has announced that he is no longer available for re-election.
With regard to the selection procedure for the members of the Board of Directors, the Shareholders' Nomination Board recommends that shareholders take a position on the composition of the Board of Directors as a whole. In preparing its proposals the Shareholders' Nomination Board has taken into consideration that the composition of the Board of Directors as a whole is according to the company’s needs and meets the requirements of the Finnish Corporate Governance Code for listed companies.
Mr Tawhid Ali (born 1971, British & Bangladeshi citizen) has been a Partner at Paradigm Capital AG since 2025. Prior to that, Mr Ali worked at AllianceBernstein, a leading global investment firm, where he served as the CIO of European value equities, a portfolio manager for global value, and the head of global value research. Mr Ali also worked as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company. Mr Ali currently serves as a member of the Boards of Internationella Engelska Skolan AB and Jetpak Group AB. Mr Ali holds an MBA from Chicago University and AB (Engineering Sciences) from Harvard University.
All Board member candidates are independent of the company and its major shareholders except for Tomi Terho, Rodolfo Zeidler and Tawhid Ali, who are not independent of the company’s largest shareholders. All candidates have given their consent to be elected. The background data of the candidates to be re-elected is presented on the company's website Board of Directors | Sitowise.
The Shareholders’ Nomination Board that has prepared proposals for the Annual General Meeting 2026 consists of Chair Jan Hummel, Paradigm Capital AG, member Juhana Kallio, Intera Partners Oy, and Eero Heliövaara, Chair of Sitowise Board of Directors as an expert member. Stian Runde, appointed by Protector Forsikring ASA, had resigned from the Shareholders’ Nomination Board in January 2026 as the said shareholder was no longer among the company’s ten largest shareholders, as is stated in the charter of the Shareholders’ Nomination Board. Due to the close proximity of his resignation to the deadline for submitting the Shareholders’ Nomination Board’s proposal, Sitowise was not in practice able to appoint and engage a new replacing member in the work of the Shareholders’ Nomination Board to prepare proposal for the Annual General Meeting 2026.
The proposals of the Nomination Board will be included in the notice to the Annual General Meeting 2026.
