Göran Wessman, board member of Vicore Pharma Holding AB (publ) since 2005, has notified the board of his decision to resign due to health reasons and, in connection with this, announced that he wishes to become a member of the company's nomination committee. As a representative of one of the company's three largest owners – Protem Wessman AB – Göran Wessman has the right to appoint one of the members of the Nomination Committee.
”I am very confident in Vicore’s future development and will follow the company with great engagement as member of the Nomination Committee among others” says Göran Wessman in a comment.
