The proposal for a new board is motivated by the owner by the fact that the proposed board members are deemed to have relevant expertise, experience and background for the company's governance. The proposed board is deemed to have an appropriate composition, taking into account the company's operations, development stage and other circumstances, characterized by versatility and breadth in terms of the members' expertise, experience and background.
