The board of Statoil ASA consists of ten directors, seven of whom are elected by shareholders and three are elected by the employees. The Board may in these bylaws have eleven members, and it is thus able to choose a new board member for supplying board additional expertise.
The choice to Statoil’s board takes place in the company’s corporate assembly Thursday this week.
