Castellum

Castellum will therefore publish a notice to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting no later than on Friday 13 June 2025. Consequently, the ongoing process for the recruitment of a new CEO is temporarily paused.

Additionally, Louise Richnau and Stefan Ränk have informed the Board of Directors that they will leave their respective Board positions in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting.

"My view is that Akelius publicly has strived to steer the recruitment of a new CEO and that they have consequently showed that they do not have confidence in the Board of Director's handling of the recruitment process. It is therefore my conclusion that this is the reason for Akelius to, 23 days after the Annual General Meeting, request that we convene an Extraordinary General Meeting.

I have also been contacted by a representative of Akelius who made it clear that they lack confidence in me as the Chair of the Board. It is of course not possible for me under these circumstances to remain in the role and I will therefore leave my role as Chair of the Board of Directors in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting", says Louise Richnau, Chair of the Board.

"I will leave the Board of Castellum at the next General Meeting as the Board of Directors is not allowed to take responsibility for governance matters and its most important task, which is to recruit the CEO. Under these circumstances I do not see any possibility for me to act as a member of the Board of Directors in the stable and credit worthy company that Castellum is, which is unfortunate", says Stefan Ränk, member of the Board of Directors.
