Board Chair Maria Rankka has today notified the Board of Directors that she will step down as Board Chair and board member of BICO Group AB (publ) effective 31 July 2026. Board members Susanne Lithander and Johan Westman have also informed the Board that they will leave their Board assignments at the same time.

The Board of Directors will therefore resolve to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting to elect new board members.

Comment from Maria Rankka:
“After careful consideration, I have concluded that the Board Chair assignment has developed in a direction that differs from the assignment I originally accepted. I believe the company is best served by a chairmanship fully aligned with its continued growth journey and the expectations of larger shareholders. I will do my utmost to support a constructive and orderly transition.”

Notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting will be published separately in accordance with applicable regulations.
