Henrik Plougmann Olsen, CEO of Metroselskabet and Hovedstadens Letbane, will step down from his position on April 30, 2022. At the meeting, Metroselskabet's board of directors appointed Rebekka Nymark as acting CEO for the period from May 1, 2022, until the new CEO takes office. In accordance with the Act on the Light Rail on Ring 3, this also means that Rebekka Nymark will serve as acting CEO of Hovedstadens Letbane during this period. In continuation of the above, it has also been decided that Hanne Tærsbøl Schmidt, Head of Neighbors and Properties/Executive Secretariat, will be appointed acting director in Rebekka Nymark's position for the corresponding period.

"On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to thank Rebekka for taking on this important task. She has in-depth knowledge of the organization and the business from her 12 years with the company. We are confident that, together with management and employees, she will continue the good operation of the company during the period until the new CEO is found and takes office," says Chairman of the Board Jørn Neergaard Larsen.

At the meeting, the board received a status report on the company's digitization program. The program includes a number of initiatives designed to ensure more effective IT and digitization support for current and future business needs – in terms of both facilities, operations, and administration. All projects are well underway, and several new IT systems have been purchased and a common data environment for 3D models has been established.

At the meeting, the Board of Directors was also given an introduction to the work on the upcoming business strategy for 2022-2026. The overall strategy is expected to be approved by the Board of Directors in October and by the owners before the end of the year.

At the meeting, the Board of Directors also discussed how to respond to the request from the City of Copenhagen and the Municipality of Frederiksberg to stop advertising gambling in the Metro, and it was agreed to seek to incorporate the change into the upcoming operating tender.

Finally, the Board of Directors received a status update on the construction of M4 Sydhavn, where the construction contractor has now been joined by the Rhomberg/Efacec and Hitachi Rail consortium, which is in the start-up phase of its work on track laying, power and traction current, and technical equipment, among other things. The Board of Directors was also informed that there are generally increasing challenges with global supply chains on the project, including in relation to steel deliveries, as Ukraine is Europe's largest supplier of both processed steel and raw materials for steel production. In addition, the Board of Directors was informed that the company has not at this time been able to identify any deliveries from Russia/oligarchs that are subject to sanctions, but that the company will continue to monitor upcoming deliveries.
