Arion Bank Nomination Committee Backs Board Continuity and Pay Rise Ahead of 2026 AGM

Arion Banki hf Shs Swedish DR ( (SE:ARION) ) has issued an announcement.

Arion Bank’s Nomination Committee has outlined its proposals ahead of the 11 March 2026 annual general meeting, recommending the re-election of current board members Paul Horner, Kristín Pétursdóttir, Steinunn Þórðardóttir and Gunnar Sturluson, and the election of Tómas Már Sigurðsson as a new director. The committee also proposes reappointing Horner as chairman and Pétursdóttir as vice-chairman, retaining current alternates Einar Hugi Bjarnason and Sigurbjörg Ólafsdóttir, and raising board remuneration by 5.8%, signalling a preference for continuity in governance while modestly adjusting compensation in line with the bank’s role as a systemically important institution.

Its work includes annual assessments of the board, CEO and senior management hiring practices, as well as compliance with gender balance and independence requirements, reinforcing Arion Bank’s emphasis on robust corporate governance as it approaches the 2026 AGM.
