Wallenius Wilhelmsen is pleased to announce the appointment of Bjørnar Bukholm
as the new EVP and CFO. He will start no later than 1 May 2025.

“We are very excited to have Bjørnar back in Wallenius Wilhelmsen. Bjørnar knows
our company and industry well, has a proven track record as CFO and brings wide
and deep strategic and financial experience into the role. He has delivered
outstanding results in his previous roles. I believe he will be a very valuable
addition to our executive team,” says CEO and President at Wallenius Wilhelmsen,
Lasse Kristoffersen.

Bjørnar Bukholm has been the CFO at Sector Alarm, one of the leading providers
of home security in Europe, since 2019. Before Sector Alarm, Bukholm spent
nearly 8 years at Wallenius Wilhelmsen holding several positions mainly within
business development, strategy, finance and Investor Relations. When he left
Wallenius Wilhelmsen in 2019, he served as Senior Vice President of Corporate
Finance, Strategy & Investor Relations.

Bukholm holds a Master of Business and Economics from BI Norwegian Business
School and he began his career in McKinsey & Company.

“I am thrilled to return to Wallenius Wilhelmsen after six years with Sector
Alarm. Wallenius Wilhelmsen has always been close to my heart, and I am eager to
reconnect with the team and contribute to our shared goals. I look forward to
bringing my perspectives to the table and help drive the strategy forward during
a period where transition is essential for the industry. Finance plays a crucial
role in that transition. Together, we will navigate the challenges ahead and
seize the opportunities to ensure continued success and value creation for our
stakeholders,” says Bukholm.

Bukholm will join the company no later than 1 May 2025. Jermund Lien, currently
SVP Global Business Performance Management, will act as interim CFO from 1
November until Bukholm joins. The outgoing CFO, Torbjørn Wist, will leave the
company on 1 December 2024.
