Against the background of the significant increase in activity in the Purchased Debt service line in 2007, the Board's Investment Committee has made itself available to quickly evaluate and decide on investments in written-off receivables in the range of EUR 8-20 M. Investments exceeding the upper limit must be approved by the Board in its entirety. For such investments, the Investment Committee has served in an advisory capacity to the Board.
Since the Annual General Meeting 2007 the Investment Committee has consisted of Lars Lundquist (Chairman), Matts Ekman, Lars Förberg and Lars Wollung. All four members - with the exception of Lars Förberg, who is not independent in relation to the principal shareholders - are independent in relation to the Company, its management and principal shareholders. The Investment Committee reports to the Board. The Investment Committee met twice during the year (once in 2006), at which all its members were present, with the exception of Matts Ekman at one of these meetings.
