Cybercom Group is a public company, whose registered office is in Stockholm. Cybercom is listed on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm (formerly Stockholm Stock Exchange). Corporate governance at Cybercom is based on the Swedish Companies Act, the listing agreement, and other relevant rules and recommendations for stock market companies. Cybercom applies the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance as of 1 July 2008.
A key part of Cybercom’s corporate culture is good corporate governance that supports the board and executives in increasing revenue and shareholder value. Guiding principles are intended to create good conditions for an active, responsible ownership role; a healthy division of responsibility among shareholders, the board, and corporate management; and transparency for shareholders, the capital market, employees, and society in general.
The board, its selected committee, and the CEO share responsibility for Cybercom’s administration and control.
Corporate governance and board representation
Cybercom’s board and executives actively work with corporate governance. The nomination committee puts stringent demands on board members’ experience and expertise profiles. The remuneration committee strives to create the best-possible terms for reasonable remuneration and bonus levels. The audit committee consists of all board members who work closely with Cybercom’s auditors. Proposals from individual shareholders may be sent to the nomination committee by mail via Cybercom’s main office in Stockholm.
General shareholders’ meetings
Per the Swedish Companies Act, general shareholders’ meetings are Cybercom's supreme decision-taking body. Shareholders exercise their voting rights at general meetings. During these general meetings, one Cybercom share is equal to one vote. All shareholders, who are recorded in the shareholders' database as of the meeting date and have given notice of their attendance in due time, have the right to attend the shareholders’ meeting and vote using their total holding of shares.
Cybercom’s annual general meeting (AGM) deals with the company’s growth. The AGM takes decisions regarding central issues such as approving dividends; setting board and auditor remuneration; amending the articles of association; appointing an auditing firm; discharging the board of liability; and electing board members for the following 12 months.
Board of directors
The board is responsible for the Group’s organisation and administration as per the Companies Act. Established procedure dictates divisions of responsibility between the board and CEO. As per this procedure, the board takes decisions on issues such as CEO appointment, the high-level organisation, long-term financial planning, operation plans, budget support material, and annual reporting. The agenda is considered and established once a year. The board prepares instructions for the CEO; one instruction makes Cybercom’s CEO responsible for planning and implementation (as per board decisions) and for the company’s running administration.
The board consists of six members who represent a wide range of expertise within sectors such as IT, telecom, and business development. The nomination committee and board decided to continue with the current board set-up, because it's a good way to gradually introduce future board members. The nomination committee reviews and evaluates the board’s work and the contributions of individual board members.
