The board for Studentbostäder i Norden (SBS Norden) has received a proposal from the shareholders Otre Fund, Aktiebolaget Fastator and Samhällsbyggnadsbolaget i Norden, which together represent 40.72 percent of the shares and votes in SBS, to replace the board in its entirety in accordance with below. The proposal from the major shareholders has been anchored by SBS's election committee. The nomination committee has drawn up a proposal for the election of new board members ahead of the 2024 annual general meeting, and it is the major shareholders' proposal that the general meeting decide in accordance with the nomination committee's proposal for an extra general meeting.

- that the number of board members for the time until the end of the next annual general meeting shall consist of four board members instead of five board members, without deputies, and
- that the board is replaced in its entirety by the new election of Leiv Synnes, Charlotte Axelsson, Tomas Lifvendahl and Amir Gal, for the period until the end of the next annual general meeting.
