CellaVision AB (publ) today announces that the company's Nomination Committee has decided to propose the Annual General Meeting 2020 to elect Mikael Worning as new member of the Board. Furthermore, the Nomination Committee proposes re-election of Sören Mellstig as Chairman of the Board of CellaVision and re-election of Board members Christer Fåhraeus, Åsa Hedin, Anna Malm Bernsten, Niklas Prager, Jürgen Riedl, Stefan Wolf.

Mikael Worning, of Danish nationality and born 1962, has many years of experience from leading positions in global sales of medical devices, primarily in diagnostics and hearing aids (including implants). Mikael Worning is the President of the subsidiary for Demant's operations in North and South America, which represents just over 40% of Demant Group's revenues. Mikael Worning has successfully led the consolidation of a fragmented business structure into a coordinated business model encompassing both its own organization, and through the acquisition of companies, to achieve commercial success.

“It feels great to propose the Annual General Meeting the election of Mikael Worning as a new member of CellaVision's Board of Directors. Mikael Worning has long international experience in senior positions in medical technology and business development, which will further strengthen and complement CellaVision's Board of Directors", says Christer Fåhraeus, Chairman of CellaVision's Nomination Committee.

The Nomination Committee consists of Nicklas Hansen (appointed by William Demant Invest A/S), Christer Fåhraeus (appointed by Christer Fåhraeus and companies), Joel Eklund (appointed by Grenlunden CEVI AB) and Bo Lundgren (appointed by Swedbank Robur funds). The Nomination Committee is convened by Sören Mellstig who participated as co-opted, but who is not part of the Nomination Committee.

Nomination Committee's proposal on the Board composition:

Sören Mellstig Chairman of the Board

Christer Fåhraeus - Board member

Åsa Hedin - Board member

Anna Malm Bernsten - Board member

Niklas Prager - Board member

Jürgen Riedl - Board member

Stefan Wolf - Board member

Mikael Worning – Board member

The Nomination Committee believes that the proposed Board of Directors expertise and experience thus meets the requirements for competence and experience.
