The Nomination Committee's proposal for members of Södra's Board of Directors

Charlotte has over 20 years of experience in the IT industry, where she has worked in leadership and business development roles within digitalization in various industries. She was at AFRY for 10 years and was responsible for the company's IT services to customers in industry, energy and infrastructure. For the past three years, she has been CEO of Softronic, which works with digitalization for civil society and member organizations, and she has also been a board member of TechSverige.

The Nomination Committee sees that Charlotte can contribute to Södra and its board work with her experience and commitment to digitalization. She is passionate about using digitalization to create better conditions for both innovation and development, as well as sustainable, resource-efficient and climate-smart operations.

Leif has almost 30 years of experience from AB Volvo and just over 11 years with IKEA. Since spring 2023, he has held leadership positions within Dometic Group and PostNord Group as well as various board positions. At IKEA, he was responsible for global manufacturing of components and wood-based furniture, from forestry to finished furniture. Change work has been a common denominator in his assignments, with a focus on creating efficient and sustainable value chains.

Leif is driven by developing operations together with people in the organization. He sees that Södra is very well positioned to continue to build an exciting and competitive business, expand and thereby contribute to a more sustainable society in the long term.

- Our proposal involves a board where expertise is strengthened in areas such as efficiency and digitalization, which are important components of Södra's strategy. This contributes to strengthening Södra and thereby the profitability of its members' forest farms, says Magnus Johansson, chairman of the nomination committee.

The Nomination Committee's proposal regarding authorized public accountants is the re-election of PWC. As elected public accountants, it is proposed to re-elect Roger Johansson and elect Anette Westerlund.

The Annual General Meeting is Södra's highest decision-making body. The meeting adopts the financial statements and appropriation of profits, appoints members of the board, auditors and nomination committee, and decides on motions.
