Systemair is a responsible company

Systemair AB is a Swedish public limited liability company, so its corporate governance is based on Swedish rules and legislation, mainly the Swedish Companies Act, NASDAQ OMX Stockholm’s regulations, the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance, the articles of association and other rules and regulations.

Application of the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance ("the Code")

  • Systemair’s Nominating Committee consists of representatives of three of the largest shareholders in terms of voting rights. Prior to the 2024 Annual General Meeting, ebm-papst AB has elected to relinquish its seat on the Nominating Committee. As a result, the fourth largest owner, Alecta, has been contacted.
    The following have been appointed members of the committee:
    • Gerald Engström, Färna Invest AB
    • Lennart Francke, Swedbank Robur Fonder
    • Magnus Tell, Alecta
  • Chairman of the Nominating Committee is Lennart Francke, representing Swedbank Robur Fonder, which owns 7.5 percent of the capital and votes. Gerald Engström, also Chairman of the Board, represents the wholly owned company Färna Invest, which owns 42.8 percent of the share capital and votes. Alecta Pensionsförsäkring owns 7.6 percent of the capital and votes and is represented by Magnus Tell.
  • The Code states for example that the majority of the members of the nominating committee must be independent of the Company and company management. Further, the chairman of the nominating committee must not be a director of the company.
  • However, the majority of the members of Systemair's nominating committee are not independent, which is a deviation from the Code. The Company's judgement is that the said arrangement is in the interests and to the benefit of the Company and the other shareholders.
