The Nomination Committee will be assigned according to the following principles: The Annual General Meeting assigns the Chairman of the Board of Directors to contact the two largest shareholders in term of votes or owner groups (hereby referred to both directly-registered shareholders and nominee-registered shareholders), according to a transcript of the share register maintained by Euroclear as per September 30, 2023 each appointing a representative to, besides the Chairman of the Board of Directors, constitute the Nomination Committee for the period until a new Nomination Committee is appointed by mandate from the next Annual General Meeting.

If any of the two largest shareholders or owner groups declines to elect a representative, the fourth largest shareholder or owner group will be asked, and so on, until the Nomination Committee consists of three members. The majority of the members of the Nomination Committee are to be independent of the Company and its executive management.
