Proposals of the Shareholders' Nomination Board of Detection Technology to the Annual General Meeting 2026
Proposal on the number of the members, on the composition, and on the Chair of the Board of Directors
The Shareholders' Nomination Board of Detection Technology Plc (Nomination Board) proposes to the Annual General Meeting 2026 that the number of members of the Board of Directors would be six (6).
The Nomination Board proposes that Marion Björkstén, Amy Chen, Richard Ingram, Henrik Roos, Jyrki Vainionpää and Antti Vasara would be re-elected members of the Board of Directors. All candidates have given their consent to the election.
All candidates are independent of the company. The candidates are also independent of Detection Technology Plc's significant shareholders, apart from Marion Björkstén, who acts as a Chair of the Supervisory Board of A. Ahlström Oy, and Jyrki Vainionpää, who acts as a President and CEO of A. Ahlström Oy. The largest shareholder of Detection Technology Plc, Ahlstrom Capital BV is a group company of A. Ahlström Oy.
The Nomination Board recommends that Antti Vasara is elected Chair of the Board of Directors.
Proposal on the remuneration of the Board of Directors
The Nomination Board proposes that the annual fixed remuneration of the Board of Directors would remain unchanged and would be as follows: annual fee of EUR 69,000 (2025: EUR 69,000) to be paid to the Chair, EUR 51,000 (2025: EUR 51,000) to the Vice Chair, and EUR 39,000 (2025: EUR 39,000) to other members of the Board of Directors.
An elected member of the Board of Directors may, at his/her discretion, choose to receive the annual fixed remuneration partly in company shares and partly in cash so that approximately 40% of the annual fixed remuneration is paid in Detection Technology Plc's shares. The number of shares forming the above remuneration portion, which would be payable in shares, will be determined based on the share value in the stock exchange trading maintained by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd, calculated as the trade volume weighted average quotation of the share during the one-month period immediately following the date on which the interim report of January-March 2026 of the company is published.
The Nomination Board proposes that the meeting-specific fees payable for each board meeting remain unchanged and would be as follows: for each meeting held in the home country of the respective member, EUR 1,000 to the Chair of the Board of Directors and EUR 500 to other members of the Board of Directors, and for each meeting held elsewhere than in the home country of the respective member, EUR 1,500 to the Chair of the Board of Directors and EUR 1,000 to other members of the Board of Directors.
In addition, the Nomination Board proposes that the members of the audit committee and the remuneration committee would be paid a meeting-specific fee of EUR 500 per meeting.
The travel expenses of the members of the Board of Directors are compensated in accordance with the company's travel policy.
All of the proposals made by the Nomination Board were unanimous. The proposals will be included in the Notice to the Annual General Meeting. The Annual General Meeting is planned to be held on 26 March 2026.
As of 1 September 2025, the Nomination Board has consisted of Peter Seligson, Chair of the Board of A. Ahlström, representing Ahlstrom Capital BV, as Chair of the Nomination Board; and Tomi Viia, Head of Investments at OP, representing the OP mutual funds, and Niina Arkko, Director of Sustainability at Aktia, representing the Aktia mutual funds, as members.
