Wärtsilä Corporation STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 6 March 2002
The shareholders representing more than 20% of all the votes in Wärtsilä Corporation will present the following proposal to the Annual General Meeting on 12 March 2002 concerning election to the Board of Directors:
That the members in turn for retirement from the Board, Mr Göran J. Ehrnrooth, Mr Georg Ehrnrooth and Mr Vesa Vainio be re-elected for the term of office ending at the Annual General Meeting in 2005.
Mr Christoffer Taxell has notified the Board that he will not stand for re-election. The aforementioned shareholders propose that no new member be elected in Mr Taxell’s place, which would leave six members on the Board.
