Proposals of the Shareholders' Nomination Board to the Annual General Meeting
The Shareholders' Nomination Board of YIT Corporation presents the following
proposals to the Annual General Meeting of YIT Corporation, which meets on March
19, 2026:
Number of members of the Board of Directors
The Nomination Board proposes that a Chairperson, a Vice Chairperson and four
(4) ordinary members be elected to the Board of Directors.
Fees of the Chairperson, Vice Chairperson and members of the Board of Directors
The Nomination Board proposes that the fees of the members of the Board of
Directors remain the same as previous year.
The Nomination Board proposes that the members of the Board of Directors be paid
the following fixed annual fees for the term of office ending at the conclusion
of the next Annual General Meeting:
· Chairperson of the Board: EUR 105,000,
· Vice Chairperson of the Board and Chairpersons of the permanent Committees:
EUR 73,500, unless the same person is Chairperson of the Board or Vice
Chairperson of the Board and
· Members: EUR 52,500.
In addition, the Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes that the annual
remuneration for the members of the Board of Directors shall be paid in Company
shares so that 40% of the annual fee is paid in YIT Corporation shares to be
purchased on the Board members' behalf from the market at a price determined in
public trading from a regulated market (Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd). The shares will be
purchased within two weeks of the publication of the Interim Report for the
period January 1, 2026 - March 31, 2026, or as soon as possible in accordance
with applicable legislation. The Company will pay any costs related to the
purchase of Company shares.
It is recommended by the Nomination Board that members of the Board of Directors
do not divest the shares awarded to them as a fixed annual fee until their term
on the Board expires. The Nomination Board views that long-term oriented and
increasing share ownership by the members of the Board of Directors benefits all
shareholders.
It was further decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting that in addition
to the fixed annual fee, the members of the Board and its permanently and
temporarily appointed committees be paid a meeting fee of EUR 800 per meeting,
also for meetings of the Board and its committees held via electronic remote
connections or by telephone.
It is also proposed that the chairperson of the Board and the chairpersons of
the permanent and temporarily appointed committees be paid a meeting fee of EUR
1,600 per meeting. Per diems are proposed to be paid for trips in Finland and
abroad in accordance with YIT Corporation's and tax authorities travelling
compensation regulations.
In addition, it is also proposed to the general meeting that the members of the
Shareholders' Nomination Board, including the expert member, be paid as previous
year a meeting fee of EUR 800 per Board meeting and the Chairperson be paid EUR
1,600 per Board meeting
Proposal for Chairperson, Vice Chairperson and members of the Board of Directors
The Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that Jyri
Luomakoski will be re-elected as Chairperson, Casimir Lindholm as Vice
Chairperson and Anders Dahlblom, Sami Laine, Kerttu Tuomas and Leena
Vainiomäki will be re-elected for a term ending at the close of the next Annual
General Meeting following their election.
With regard to the selection procedure for the members of the Board of
Directors, the Nomination Board recommends that shareholders take a position on
the proposal as a whole at the Annual General Meeting. In preparing its
proposals the Nomination Board, in addition to ensuring that individual nominees
for membership of the Board of Directors possess the required competences, has
determined that the proposed Board of Directors as a whole also has the best
possible expertise for the company and that the composition of the Board of
Directors meets other requirements of the law and the Finnish Corporate
Governance Code for listed companies.
All candidates have consented to being elected and are independent of the
company or its major shareholders, except Anders Dahlblom who is dependent on a
major shareholder. Essential information regarding the proposed candidates is
available on the YIT website at https://www.yitgroup.com/nominationboard.
