Tobias Persson Rosenqvist, chairman of the nomination committee, said: “I wish to express my warmest thanks to Mr Lundberg for his hard work with regards to creating a well-balanced mix between entrepreneurial creativity and well-functioning governance and structure.

"I am with that said also very excited about Mr Bengtsson as the new suggested chairman of the board. With his profound knowledge, connections and experience from the global scene of igaming, combined with first-hand experience from large scale international transactions, he is perfect for the job to further accelerate our growth.”

Lundberg, the outgoing chairman of the Raketech board, added: “It is time for me to hand over to someone else who can take Raketech to the next level.

The nomination committee has also re-elected Fredrik Svederman, Annika Billberg, Johan Svensson, Erik Skarp, while adding Magnus Gottås to the team.
