Annual general meeting

Shareholders' influence is exercised at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), which is the highest decision-making body of the Bank.

All shareholders, registered in the Shareholders' Register and having notified their attendance properly, have the right to participate at the AGM and to vote for the full number of their respective shares. A shareholder who cannot participate at the AGM can be represented by proxy.

At the AGM, the shareholders decide on the disposition of the bank's profit, discharge of liability for the Board members and the President, and elect the Board members and auditor. The AGM also decides on remuneration for the Board and the auditor and establishes guidelines for remuneration to the President and executive management.

Nomination Committee

The Nomination committee is responsible for preparing and presenting proposals for Chair of the Board, Board members including the number of Board members, for remuneration of the Board and the distribution of the remuneration between the Board members, as well as for committee work, and for election of auditors and audit fees.
