Kverva, Norway-headquartered salmon producer SalMar ASA has confirmed that Atle Eide has decided to not reapply for reelection as chairman of the board, and that the company’s nomination committee has recommended former CEO Leif Inge Nordhammer as his replacement.
“After a thorough assessment, the committee has come to a recommendation where Leif Inge Nordhammer replaces Atle Eide as chairman of the board,” Bjørn Wiggen, the nomination committee’s chairman, said.
