Suominen AGM 2026: no dividend, Board composition confirmed, share buyback authorized
Regarding the use of profits, the AGM decided not to distribute a dividend for the 2025 financial year. Instead, distributable funds will remain in the company’s unrestricted equity.
Board remuneration remains unchanged. Annual fees are set at EUR 74,000 for the Chair, EUR 45,000 for the Deputy Chair and EUR 35,000 for other members, with additional fees for committee roles and meeting participation. A total of 75% of the remuneration is paid in cash and 25% in company shares.
The number of Board members was confirmed at six. Andreas Ahlström, Gail Ciccione, Maija Joutsenkoski, Nina Linander and Laura Remes were re-elected, while Ville Vuori was elected as a new member and Chair of the Board. All members are independent of the company, with specified exceptions regarding major shareholder connections.
KPMG Oy Ab was re-elected as auditor and sustainability auditor, with Anders Lundin acting as the responsible auditor. Fees will be paid according to approved invoices.
The AGM authorized the Board of Directors to repurchase up to 1,000,000 of the company’s own shares (approximately 1.7% of all shares) and to decide on share issuances, option rights and other special rights for up to 8,000,000 shares (approximately 13.7%). Both authorizations are valid until June 30, 2027.
Following the AGM, the Board held its organizing meeting and elected Andreas Ahlström as Deputy Chair. Committee compositions were also confirmed, and the temporary Strategy Committee established in 2023 was discontinued.
The minutes of the AGM will be available on the company’s website by April 29, 2026.
