Nomination committee’s proposal for the board of directors of Rusta AB (publ)
Ahead of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Rusta AB (publ) (“Rusta”) on September 19, 2025, the nomination committee announces its proposal regarding the chairman of the board and other board members.
The nomination committee proposes that the AGM 2025 elects eight ordinary board members and no deputies. The committee proposes the re-election of board members Claus Juel-Jensen, Anders Forsgren, Björn Forssell, Claes Eriksson, Maria Edsman and Victor Forsgren. The committee further proposes the election of new board members Eva-Lotta Sjöstedt and Åsa Källenius. Erik Haegerstrand and Ann-Sofi Danielsson have declined re-election. Claus Juel-Jensen is proposed as the new chairman of the board.
“Claus Juel-Jensen has over 25 years of experience in leading roles within retail across several European markets. His extensive experience and expertise are a great asset to Rusta, especially as the company continues its expansion both within and beyond the Nordics. Erik Haegerstrand has successfully led the board’s work during several formative years for Rusta, and most notably in preparation for the IPO in 2023. We extend our sincere gratitude to both him and Ann-Sofi Danielsson for their valuable contributions to Rusta,” says Jan Amethier, chairman of Rusta’s nomination committee.
“I am honored to be proposed as Rusta’s new chairman of the board, and I look forward to further strengthening my commitment to the company as it continues its growth journey. A key initial priority will be leading the recruitment process for a new CEO. Together with the management team and all employees, the board will continue working to strengthen Rusta’s position as a leading retailer in the low-price market, both in Sweden and in our other markets,” says Claus Juel-Jensen, the nomination committee’s proposed new chairman of the board of Rusta.
