The nomination committee consists of three members.

Board of Directors


Gigasun’s Board of Directors is the second-highest decision-making body of the Company after the general meeting. The chairman and other members of the board of directors are elected by the annual general meeting for the period up and until the end of the next annual general meeting. Currently, the Company’s board of directors consists of six ordinary members elected by the general meeting.

According to the Swedish Companies Act, the board of directors is responsible for the organisation of the company and the management of the company’s affairs, which means that the board of directors is responsible for, among other things, setting targets and strategies, securing routines and systems for evaluation of set targets, continuously assessing the financial condition and profits as well as evaluating the operating management. The board of directors is also responsible for ensuring that annual reports and interim reports are prepared in a timely manner. Moreover, the board of directors appoints the CEO.

The tasks of the board of directors are set forth in the Swedish Companies Act and the Company’s articles of association. Moreover, the board of directors applies written rules of procedure, which are annually adopted by the statutory board meeting. Among other things, the rules of procedure govern the function of the board of directors and the division of work between the members of the board of directors and the CEO. At the statutory board meeting, the board of directors also adopt instructions for the CEO.

The board of directors meets according to an annual predetermined schedule. In addition to these meetings, additional board meetings can be convened to handle issues which cannot be postponed until the next ordinary board meeting. In addition to the board meetings, the chairman of the board of directors and the CEO continuously discusses with the management of the Company.

The Company’s board of directors has appointed an audit committee and renumeration committee.
