Lundberg was announced to replace former chair Patrick Svensk after the a no-confidence vote in Svensk in September due to his handling former CEO Pontus Lindwall’s exit.
Lindwall’s departure was announced via press release earlier that month. At the time, the business said he had “completed” his goals in the role.
Lundberg was also re-elected, along with Eva Leach and Fredrik Carlsson, to the board.
Lindwall, meanwhile, will join Peter Hamberg as a new member of the board, until the end of the next annual general meeting (AGM).
Betsson’s shareholders also approved other motions related to the board,such as that the board would consist of five members without deputies until the end of the next AGM.
Last week, unrelated to Svensk’s departure, board member Jan Nord resigned with immediate effect. He said the reason for his exit was to “prioritise other commitments that require greater efforts in the future”.
