Nobel Biocare Board of Directors nominates candidates for election as members of the Board at the Annual General Meeting 2013

Nobel Biocare announced today that Oskar K. Ronner has withdrawn his shareholder proposal and informed the Board that he and his two proposed candidates will not run for election to the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board acknowledges this decision although it would have welcomed Mr. Ronner joining the Board.

All current members of the Board of Directors will stand for re-election at the Annual General Meeting on 28 March 2013. As already announced on 18 January 2013, Franz Maier will be proposed as a new member of the Board. The invitation to the Annual General Meeting and the complete agenda will be published in late February.

After the General Meeting, the Board of Directors will constitute itself and will elect Dr. Rolf Watter as Chairman of the Board of Directors. It will also decide on the committees and their composition.
