In accordance with the decision made by the Annual General Meeting on 21 April 2016, Rezidor's Nominating Committee was established in October 2016. Based on the list of shareholders as per 31 August 2016, the three largest known shareholders were contacted, each of which was offered the possibility to appoint one representative to the Nominating Committee.

The other two representatives, Tomas Risbecker representing AMF Försäkring och Fonder, and Fredrik Carlsson representing Provobis Holding AB, remain the same. The members of the Nominating Committee have appointed Mr. Mobus to chair the committee.
