Apart from Lahovnik, who represents shareholders on the board, Franc Šašek, employee representative, was also named deputy chief supervisor.

Krka shareholders appointed four new members to the nine-member board in July. Existing supervisors Julijana Kristl, Boris Žnidarič and Jože Mermal were put forward for the appointment along with a new name, Peter Filipič.

However, Slovenian Sovereign Holding tabled a counter proposal at the shareholders meeting, proposing Lahovnik instead of Filipič.

Thus, Kristl, Žnidarič, Mermal and Lahovnik were appointed for a five-year term on the board that also includes Borut Jamnik, Mojca Osolnik Videmšek, Mateja Vrečer and Tomaž Sever.
