Shareholders’ Nomination Board

On November 12, 2025, Framery’s Extraordinary General Meeting decided to establish a Shareholders’ Nomination Committee consisting of Framery’s largest shareholders or persons appointed by such shareholders, for preparing, annually or otherwise when appropriate, proposals concerning the composition and remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Nomination Board will operate and the charter of the Nomination Board will apply until otherwise resolved by the General Meeting.

The Nomination Committee consists of four members appointed by the shareholders. The four largest shareholders, determined annually on June 1 based on the shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd, are entitled to appoint a member to the Nomination Committee.

The Chair of the Board of Directors acts as an expert member in the Nomination Board without the right to vote. However, the Chair of the Board of Directors has the right to attend the meetings of the Nomination Board and receive the relevant material for such meetings. It is the duty of the Chair of the Board of Directors to ask each of the four largest shareholders to nominate one member to the Nomination Board. If a shareholder does not exercise his or her right to nominate a member to the Nomination Board, the nomination right will be transferred, in accordance with the shareholder register, to the next largest shareholder who would not otherwise be entitled to nominate a member to the Nomination Board.
