Arthur Engel worked at the Leo Burnett Group between 1994 and 2000 and has many years of experience in brand development and the retail sector.

It is proposed that the remuneration of the Members of the Board be SEK 1,600,000, of which the Chairman of the Board will receive SEK 400,000 and each of the other Board Members will receive SEK 200,000. It is also proposed that remuneration for work on committees be SEK 15,000 for each day of meeting. The proposal entails that the total Board fees will increase by SEK 200,000 compared with the preceding year because the Board has been expanded by one member. The Nomination Committee also proposes the re-election of KPMG AB as auditor of the company until the 2018 AGM. Auditors’ fees are proposed to be paid on current account.

The Nomination Committee proposes that the AGM resolve to appoint a new Nomination Committee in preparation for the 2015 AGM in the same manner as for the 2014 AGM. Accordingly, the Chairman of the Board will contact the three largest registered or otherwise known shareholders as at 1 April 2014 and invite them to each appoint one member of the Nomination Committee. If any shareholder waives his/her right to appoint a member, the largest registered or otherwise known shareholder that has not yet appointed a member of the Nomination Committee is to be asked, and so on. The Nomination Committee is to consist of these three members together with the Chairman of the Board. The names of the members of the Nomination Committee and information about the Chairman of the Nomination Committee will be announced no later than six months prior to the 2015 AGM. The Nomination Committee is to appoint a Chairman from among its members.

The Nomination Committee of MQ Holding AB consists of Henrik Strömbom (Chairman of the Nomination Committee), representing Jaller Klädcenter AB, André Vatsgar, representing Danske Capital, Marcus Wahlberg, representing Investment AB Öresund and Erik Olsson, Chairman of the Board.
