The role of the council

A supervisory council is a corporate governance body that oversees the management board's work and makes strategic decisions on behalf of shareholders. Changes to its composition are typically decided at annual or extraordinary shareholders meetings, and listed companies are required to disclose such changes to ensure market transparency.

Stock exchange disclosure

Because shares of AS “Rīgas kuģu būvētava” are listed on Nasdaq Riga, the company is obliged under regulated market rules to publicly disclose material changes in its governance structure. This announcement forms part of that disclosure practice, allowing investors and other market participants to track the company's corporate governance developments.

The company's statement did not provide details about the identities of the newly elected council members or other decisions made at the meeting. It also did not specify when the new council would begin performing its duties.

Further details about the specific council members and any subsequent decisions may be clarified in future announcements from the company to the exchange.
