AB Volvo Board of Directors Proposal for Re-elections Announced Ahead of AGM

AB Volvo's Board of Directors Re-election Proposal

On February 19, 2026, AB Volvo's Election Committee put forth a notable recommendation regarding the company's Board of Directors. The committee proposed the re-election of Chairman Pär Boman and several Board members including Bo Annvik, Jan Carlson, Eric Elzvik, and others. This decision comes ahead of the Annual General Meeting scheduled for April 8, 2026.

The election committee is made up of representatives from four of AB Volvo's major shareholders, who collectively hold around 16% of the shares and nearly 39.8% of the voting rights within the company. Notably, the shareholders represented in the committee include Fredrik Persson from AB Industrivärden, Anders Oscarsson from AMF and AMF Funds, Carina Silberg from Alecta, and Anders Algotsson from AFA Insurance. The presence of these significant stakeholders ensures that the proposal reflects a consensus among key players in the company.

However, it's essential to note that Matti Alahuhta, a current Board Member, will not be seeking re-election. This development has sparked discussions among investors and industry analysts regarding the future strategic direction of AB Volvo under the remaining Board members' leadership.
