As the Board of Directors and CEO have differing views regarding the ongoing development of the company and what is required in the form of leadership and clarity, the Board has decided to terminate the employment of CEO Leif Brodén with immediate effect. At the same time, a decision has been made to extend temporarily the responsibilities of the President of Södra Cell Gunilla Saltin to also include the role of CEO for the entire Södra group. Recruitment of a new CEO will begin immediately.
Until a new CEO is appointed, Board Chairman Christer Segerstéen will extend his involvement in the company and take over as Acting Chairman. In this role, he will mainly assist the Acting CEO with ownership and industry issues.
