Selskapets aksjekapital er NOK 465.007.773 fordelt på 465.007.773 stk. aksjer hver pålydende NOK 1. Aksjekapitalen er fordelt på 41.336.068 A-aksjer med 10 stemmer per aksje, samt 352.932.043 B-aksjer og 70.739.662 C-aksjer med 1 stemme per aksje. Per 30. september 2024 har selskapet en beholdning på 0
stk. egne aksjer (kun B-aksjer), og stemmerett kan ikke utøves for disse.
Hver aksjonær har rett til å stemme for det antall aksjer vedkommende eier og som er registrert i aksjeregisteret Verdipapirsentralen ASA (VPS) på tidspunktet for generalforsamlingen. Hvis et aksjekjøp ikke har blitt registrert i VPS på tidspunktet for generalforsamlingen, kan stemmeretten for de kjøpte aksjene bare utøves dersom kjøpet er rapportert til VPS og dokumentasjon på dette er fremlagt på generalforsamlingen. I en aksjeoverføring kan partene bli enige om at selger kan utøve aksjerettigheten frem til rettigheten har blitt overtatt av kjøper.
Etter selskapets oppfatning, kan hverken tilgodesett eier eller agent stemme for aksjer som er registrert på forvalterkontoer i Verdipapirsentralen ASA (VPS), jf. Lov om aksjeselskaper (aksjeloven), paragraf 4-10. Tilgodesett eier kan allikevel stemme for aksjer dersom alle nødvendige steg er tatt for å avslutte forvalterregistreringen av aksjene, og aksjene er overført til en ordinær konto registrert i VPS, i eierens navn. Dersom eier kan dokumentere slike steg, og at hun/ han faktisk har eierskapsinteresse i selskapet, kan hun/ han, etter selskapets mening, stemme for aksjene, selv om de ikke enda er registrert i en ordinær VPS-konto.
En aksjeeier kan ikke kreve at nye punkter blir lagt til agendaen nå, da fristen for dette er passert, jf. aksjelovens § 5-11 andre punktum. En aksjeeier har likevel rett til å komme med forslag til vedtak som angår punktene som skal gjennomgås på generalforsamlingen.
Dersom tilleggsinformasjon er nødvendig, og et svar ikke gis på generalforsamlingen, skal et skriftlig svar forberedes innen to uker fra datoen for generalforsamlingen.
Svaret skal tilgjengeliggjøres på selskapets nettsider, og sendes til aksjeeierne som har forespurt informasjonen. Dersom svaret er ansett som viktig for evalueringen av omstendighetene nevnt i ovenstående setning, skal svaret sendes til alle aksjeeiere med kjent adresse.
The Company's share capital is NOK 465,007,773 divided in 465,007,773 shares each having a face value of NOK 1. A total of 41,336,068 A-shares holding 10 votes per share and 352,932,043 B and 70,739,662 Cshares holding 1 vote per share. As of 30 September 2024, the company holds 0 treasury shares, and voting rights cannot be exercised for these.
Each shareholder has the right to vote for the number of shares owned by the shareholder and registered in the shareholder's register with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (the VPS) at the time of the general meeting. If a share acquisition has not been registered with the VPS at the time of the general meeting, voting rights for the acquired shares may only be exercised if the acquisition is reported to the VPS and proven at the general meeting. In a share transfer, the parties may agree that the seller can exercise the shareholder rights until the rights have been assumed by the acquirer.
In the company's opinion, neither the beneficial owner nor the agent has the right to vote for shares registered on nominee accounts with the VPS, cf. the Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 4-10. The beneficial owner may, however, vote for the shares in the event all necessary steps are taken to terminate the custodian registration of the shares, and the shares are transferred to an ordinary account registered with the VPS, in the owner's name. Provided that the owner can document such conduct, and he has an actual ownership interest in the company, he may, in the company's opinion, vote for the shares, even though they are not yet registered on an ordinary VPS-account.
A shareholder cannot demand that new items are added to the agenda now, when the deadline for such request has expired, cf. the Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 5-11 second sentence. A shareholder has the right to make proposals for a resolution regarding the items which will be considered by the general meeting.
If additional information is necessary, and an answer will not be given at the general meeting, a written answer shall be prepared within two weeks from the date of the general meeting.
