Ørsted proposes three new Board Members during Annual Meeting

Tuesday, March 17 2026

General – Annual Meeting

Ørsted said it will hold its annual general meeting on 9 April 2026 at its headquarters in Gentofte, Denmark.

During the meeting shareholders will vote on the company’s 2025 financial results and several governance proposals.

The agenda includes approval of the 2025 Annual Report, the Remuneration Report, and the discharge of both the Board of Directors and Executive Board.

Shareholders will also consider a proposal allowing the company to repurchase treasury shares.

All board members elected by shareholders are up for election. However, Judith Hartmann and Annica Bresky will not stand for re-election.

Ørsted’s board has nominated Karen Boesen, Karl Johnny Hersvik, and Samuel Leupold as new members.

Boesen is currently chief financial officer at DFDS, while Hersvik serves as chief executive of Aker BP. Leupold previously led Ørsted’s wind power division, when the company operated under the name DONG Energy.

Board Chair Lene Skole said the nominees bring significant international management experience and expertise across the energy sector.

“We’re pleased to nominate three strong candidates with leadership experience from international companies and the energy industry,” Skole said in a statement.

She also thanked Hartmann and Bresky for their service on the board.

Shareholders will additionally vote on the remuneration and election of board members and the appointment of the company’s auditor, according to the notice for the meeting.
