In accordance with the principles agreed at the AGM in 2008, Chairman Trond Berger in October 2011 contacted the largest shareholders to form a nominating committee to prepare for the AGM in May 2012. Members Trond Berger for Schibsted, Björn Franzon of Swedbank Robur Fonder and private shareholder Odd Winger was appointed. At the first meeting of the Nomination Committee, Trond Berger was appointed Chairman of the Committee.
When Schibsted ASA completed its public offering to Aspiro shareholders in March 2012, it became clear that Odd Winger no longer remained as a shareholder in Aspiro and he therefore left the committee. As stated in the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance, the Nomination Committee shall be composed of at least three members and at least one member must be independent of the company and the largest shareholder or group of shareholders.
The Election Committee had the following composition:
- Trond Berger, representing Schibsted ASA
- Jacob Møller, representing Schibsted ASA
- Björn Franzon, representing Swedbank Robur Fonder
The Swedbank Robur representative chose not to participate in the Election Committee's work in preparing the propositions to the AGM due to disagreements regarding the composition of the Election Committe and the Board of Directors.
AGM in Aspiro AB will take place in Stockholm Monday 14 of May 2012.
