The hottest fray in Telenor since the duel between the then Norwegian trade and industry minister Trond Giske and secretary of the Telenor chairman Harald Norvik.
DN wrote Wednesday that the relationship between Telenor ceo Sigve Brekke and Telenor chairman of the board Gunn Wærsted is so inflamed that she in the autumn in a conversation with Him, said that she thinks he should go.
– Shared not styrelederens vision
Break to not have followed the call.
“instead, the board was plugged into and it turned out that the board is not shared styrelederens vision. On the contrary to Break support in the rest of the board”, wrote DN on Wednesday night.
the newspaper Aftenposten writes today that Wærsted had not informed the board of directors before she said to Him that she believes he should resign – and that it turned out that she is the only person on the board who believe it.
When VG got contact with Wærsted Thursday afternoon, she was clear that she is not doing anything sololøp.
I don’t want to say anything about matters relating to board work, but I will say that I have as a principle that the chairman of the board to make sure that I have the foundation in the board of directors.
the Conflict between them emerges as the explosives: the Chairman of the state giant Telenor (the Norwegian state owns 54 per cent) want to throw the Telenor boss, but not with the board of directors.
– No emergency meeting
Several people have already concluded that there is no longer room for both.
– With the pressure now on to get to know what the case actually is about; it is right that you are in a conversation with Brekke has said that he should resign?
It is a ratio that is within what I define as the work of the board, which means that I will not comment on it.
– Are there any new cases linked to the different assessment of the way forward for Telenor is to the reason?
– I must give the same answer to that question.
– Is it correct that it is summoned to the emergency meeting of the board of directors?
– No, it does not entail correctness, ” she says.
It means that the case eventually comes up at the regular meeting of the board in the next week.
– Is it correct that the board should have ordered a report from an external consulting company in connection with the case opportunity?
Since I by principle do not speak to me about the work of the board, I can not answer that, ” says Wærsted.
This is the Telenor group ceo chairman of the board Wærsted will get rid of
Not voting
In part statsselskaper it has been tradition that the State has been given the green light for “their candidate” in the board of directors. But this is not so in Telenor today:
Ministry of trade and industry minister Monica Mæland (H), that state owners have not placed their man or woman in the board of directors.
One who knows the processes from the inside says that if it had been so, so would probably Break resigned, if he had caught up that the government representative had not confidence in him.
A central question is whether the Wærsted has the support of the minister Mæland.
the Minister does not want to comment on the case.
Sources say to the NEWSPAPER that the board of directors has not made a voting if they have the confidence to Break.
