Knud Højgaards Fond, which owns 64.5% of the share capital and 78.2% of the voting rights in Højgaard Holding A/S, has today informed Højgaard Holding A/S that the foundation will nominate Pernille Fabricius and Carsten Bjerg as candidates for election to the board of directors of Højgaard Holding A/S at the company’s annual general meeting in April 2014.
