aksjonærenes tilbakemeldinger i forbindelse med Generalforsamlingen i 2023 til etterretning, hvor denne Lederlønnsrapporten gir økt innsyn i lederens KPI-er knyttet til STI-programmet.

Det skal avholdes en rådgivende avstemning over rapporten. Styrets forslag til vedtak:

"Rapport om fastsettelse av lønn og annen godtgjørelse til ledende ansatte godkjennes."

10. Fullmakter til å utstede aksjer

Generalforsamlingen har gitt styret fullmakter til å forhøye Selskapets aksjekapital. Disse fullmaktene bortfaller ved avholdelse av den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2024. Styret anser det hensiktsmessig å fortsatt ha anledning til å kunne utstede aksjer i situasjoner der dette anses å være i Selskapets og aksjonærenes beste interesse. Dette inkluderer generelle selskapsformål, samt for å oppfylle Selskapets forpliktelser etter tidligere, nå avsluttede, opsjonsprogrammer. Styret foreslår derfor at generalforsamlingen utsteder nye fullmakter til utstedelse av nye aksjer.

Styrets forslag til vedtak:

"Styret gis følgende fullmakter til å øke aksjekapitalen:

  • (i) Med inntil NOK 33,426,506 gjennom én eller flere aksjekapitalutvidelser for generelle selskapsformål, herunder ved investeringer, oppkjøp og fusjoner. Aksjer kan utstedes mot kontantvederlag eller vederlag i form av andre aktiva (tingsinnskudd), herunder ved fusjon, og fullmakten gir rett til å pådra Selskapet særlige plikter mv, jf. allmennaksjeloven § 10-2.
  • (ii) Med inntil NOK 3,342,651 for utstedelse av aksjer i forbindelse med ansatteopsjoner. Opsjoner tildelt i 2020 og 2021 var del av opsjonsprogram som nå er avsluttet, men hvor det fortsatt gjenstår utestående opsjoner. Et nytt opsjonsprogram for konsernledelsen har blitt introdusert med lengre opptjeningsperiode for de tildelte opsjonene ref. Lederlønnsrapport 2023. Aksjer kan kun utstedes mot kontantvederlag (i norske kroner eller annen valuta).

Ved bruk av fullmaktene fastsetter Styret pris og tegningsvilkår ved hver utstedelse under hensyn til Selskapets behov og aksjenes markedsverdi på det aktuelle tidspunkt.

Eksisterende aksjonærers fortrinnsrett til å tegne aksjer vil kunne bli fraveket av Styret i forbindelse med utøvelse av fullmaktene.

Begge fullmakter utløper på datoen for den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2025, men skal i alle tilfelle utløpe senest 30. juni 2025.

Styret gis samtidig fullmakt til å foreta nødvendige vedtektsendringer ved utøvelse av fullmaktene. Disse fullmakter erstatter fullmaktene til å øke aksjekapitalen utstedt av den ordinære generalforsamlingen 21. april 2023."

11. Fullmakter til å erverve egne aksjer

På den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2023 ble Styret gitt fullmakt til å erverve egne aksjer. Fullmakten utløper på datoen for den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2024.

Slik fullmakter vil blant annet medføre at Selskapet kan benytte egne aksjer som oppgjør, herunder i forbindelse med incentivprogrammer.

www.nelhydrogen.com in accordance with section 12 of the articles of association. Following shareholder feedback received in relation to the Annual General Meeting in 2023, the company has in this report increased transparency on management KPI's regarding the STI programme.

An advisory vote about the report shall be conducted. The Board's proposal for resolution:

"The report on salary and other remuneration to members of executive management is approved."

10. Authorizations to issue shares

The general meeting of shareholders has granted authorisations to the board to increase the Company's share capital. These authorizations will expire at the conclusion of the annual general meeting in 2024. The Board considers it beneficial to continue to be able to issue shares in situations where this is considered to be in the Company's and the shareholders' best interests. This includes issue for general corporate purposes, and to enable fulfilment of the Company's obligations towards employees pursuant to previous, now discontinued, share incentive programs. The Board therefore proposes that the general meeting grants new authorizations to issue new shares.

The Board's proposal for resolution:

"The Board is granted the following authorizations to increase the share capital:

  • (i) By up to NOK 33,426,506 in one or several share issuances for general corporate purposes, including in connection with investments, mergers and acquisitions. Shares may be issued in exchange for cash settlement or contribution in kind, including in connection with mergers, and the authorization gives the right to incur specific obligations on behalf of the Company, cf. section 10-2 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act.
  • (ii) By up to NOK 3,342,651 for issue of shares in connection with employee share options. Options irrevocably granted in 2020 and 2021 were part of options schemes that are now discontinued, but under which options remain outstanding. A new LTI program for group management has been introduced with longer vesting periods for the granted options, ref. Remuneration Report 2023. Shares may only be issued against cash consideration (in Norwegian kroner or other currency).

When using the authorizations, the Board determines the price and conditions for subscription, according to the Company's needs and the shares' market value at the time.

The existing shareholders' preferential rights to subscribe for shares may be waived by the Board in connection with the effectuation of the authorizations.

The authorizations expire at the annual general meeting in 2025, but shall in any event expire at the latest on 30 June 2025.

The Board is at the same time given authorization to make the necessary amendments to the articles of association on execution of the authorizations. These authorizations replace the authorizations to increase the share capital granted by the annual general meeting on 21 April 2023."

11. Authorizations to acquire treasury shares

At the annual general meeting in 2023 the Board was granted the authorization to acquire own shares. The authorization expires at the time of the annual general meeting in 2024.

Such authorizations will i.a. enable the Company to use its own shares as settlement, including in relation to incentive schemes. The Board Styret foreslår derfor at generalforsamlingen utsteder nye fullmakter til å erverve aksjer.

Styrets forslag til vedtak:

"Styret gis følgende fullmakt til på Selskapets vegne å erverve aksjer i Nel ASA:

  • (i) Med opp til 1% av pålydende av Selskapets aksjekapital til enhver tid, jf. allmennaksjeloven §§ 9-2 og 9-3 i forbindelse med incentivprogram for ansatte. Opsjoner tildelt i 2020 og 2021 var del av opsjonsprogram som nå er avsluttet, men hvor det fortsatt gjenstår utestående opsjoner. Et nytt opsjonsprogram for konsernledelsen har blitt introdusert med lengre opptjeningsperiode for de tildelte opsjonene ref. Lederlønnsrapport 2023.
  • (ii) Med opptil 9% av pålydende av Selskapets aksjekapital til enhver tid, jf. allmennaksjeloven §§ 9-2 og 9-3 for generelle selskapsformål.

Aksjer kan erverves til minst NOK 0.5 per aksje og maksimalt NOK 50 per aksje. Disse begrensninger skal justeres tilsvarende i tilfelle av aksjespleis, aksjesplitt og lignende transaksjoner. Aksjene skal erverves ved ordinær omsetning over børs.

Styrets fullmakt gjelder frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2025, men skal i alle tilfelle utløpe senest 30. juni 2025. Beslutningen skal meldes til og registreres av Foretaksregisteret innen aksjer erverves i henhold til fullmakten.

Disse fullmakter erstatter fullmakt til å erverve egne aksjer utstedt av den ordinære generalforsamlingen 21. april 2023."

12. Valg av styremedlemmer

Valgkomiteen har i sin innstilling til generalforsamlingen foreslått at samtlige av styremedlemmene gjenvelges for en periode på ett år frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2025. Valgkomiteen foreslår også at Ole Enger gjenvelges som styreformann. Valgkomiteen foreslår således at generalforsamlingen treffer følgende vedtak:

  • 12.1 "Ole Enger velges som styreleder for en periode frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2025";
  • 12.2 "Hanne Blume velges som styremedlem for en periode frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2025";
  • 12.3 "Charlotta Falvin velges som styremedlem for en periode frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2025";

Innstillingen finnes på Selskapets webside www.nelhydrogen.com i henhold til vedtektene § 12.

13 Valg av medlemmer til valgkomiteen

Valgkomiteen har i sin innstilling til generalforsamlingen foreslått at følgende vedtak fattes om valg av medlemmer av valgkomiteen for en periode på ett år frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2025:

therefore proposes that the general meeting grants new authorizations to acquire treasury shares.

The Board's proposal for resolution:

"The Board is granted the following authorizations to acquire shares in Nel ASA:

  • (i) By up to 1% of the nominal value of the share capital at any given time, cf. sections 9-2 and 9-3 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act in connection with incentive program for employees. Options irrevocably granted in 2020 and 2021 were part of options schemes that are now discontinued, but under which options remain outstanding. A new LTI program for group management has been introduced with longer vesting periods for the granted options, ref. Remuneration Report 2023.
  • (ii) By up to 9% of the nominal value of the share capital at any given time, cf. sections 9-2 and 9-3 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act for general corporate purposes.

Shares may be acquired at a price per share of minimum NOK 0.5 and maximum NOK 50. These limitations shall be adjusted in the event of share consolidation, share splits, and similar transactions. The shares shall be acquired through ordinary purchase on the stock exchange.

The Board's authorization is valid until the annual general meeting in 2025, but shall in any event expire at the latest on 30 June 2025. The decision shall be notified to and registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises prior to acquiring any shares pursuant to this authorization.

These authorizations replace the authorization to acquire own shares granted by the annual general meeting on 21 April 2023."

12. Election of members to the Board

The nomination committee has in its recommendation to the general meeting proposed that all of the board members are re-elected for a period of one year until the annual general meeting of 2025. Further, the nomination committee proposes that Ole Enger is re-elected as chair. Accordingly, the nomination committee proposes that the general meeting adopts the following resolutions:

  • 12.1 "Ole Enger is elected as chair of the Board of Directors for a term until the annual general meeting in 2025";
  • 12.2 "Hanne Blume is elected as a member of the Board of Directors for a term until the annual general meeting in 2025";
  • 12.3 "Charlotta Falvin is elected as a member of the Board of Directors for a term until the annual general meeting in 2025";
  • 12.4 " Beatriz Malo de Molina is elected as a member of the Board of Directors for a term until the annual general meeting in 2025";
  • 12.5 "Arvid Moss is elected as a member of the Board of Directors for a term until the annual general meeting in 2025";
  • 12.6 "Tom Røtjer is elected as a member of the Board of Directors for a term until the annual general meeting in 2025", and
  • 12.7 "Jens Bjørn Staff is elected as a member of the Board of Directors for a term until the annual general meeting in 2025".

The recommendation from the nomination committee is available on the Company's website www.nelhydrogen.com in accordance with section 12 of the articles of association.

13. Election of members to the nomination committee

The nomination committee has in its recommendation to the general meeting proposed that the following resolutions are passed regarding the elections of members to the nomination committee for a term of one year until the annual general meeting in 2025:

  • 15.1 "Eivind Veddeng Sars velges som leder av valgkomiteen for en periode frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2025"; og
  • 15.2 "Mai-Lill Ibsen velges som medlem av valgkomiteen for en periode frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2025".
  • 15.3 "Andreas Poole velges som medlem av valgkomiteen for en periode frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2025".
  • 15.4 "Nanna Sjaastad velges som medlem av valgkomiteen for en periode frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2025".

Innstillingen fra valgkomiteen finnes på Selskapets webside www.nelhydrogen.com i henhold til vedtektene § 12.

14. Fullmakt til styret til å foreta utdeling av utbytte: Utskillelse av Nel Hydrogen Fueling

Det vises til børsmelding fra Selskapet den 28. februar 2024, der Selskapet blant annet annonserte at det utforsker å skille ut virksomhetsområdet Nel Hydrogen Fueling til et nyetablert selskap, samt videre utdeling av aksjene i det nye selskapet til eksisterende aksjonærer i Selskapet som et tingsutbytte som ledd i utskillingsprosessen. I samme børsmelding ble det videre annonsert at Selskapet har planer om notering av aksjene i det nye selskapet på regulert marked.

Det er ikke fattet endelig beslutning om slik utskilling av fuelingdivisjonen. Men for å legge til rette for en effektiv prosess knyttet til en potensiell endelig beslutning om en utskilling som beskrevet, er det hensiktsmessig at styret gis fullmakt til å beslutte utdeling av utbytte.

På denne bakgrunn foreslår styret at generalforsamlingen fatter følgende vedtak:

"Styret gis fullmakt til å beslutte og foreta utdeling av utbytte basert på Selskapets årsregnskap for 2023, jf. allmennaksjeloven § 8-2 (2). Fullmakten kan bare benyttes til å dele ut tingsutbytte i form av aksjer. Fullmakten gjelder frem til Selskapets ordinære generalforsamling i 2025."

The recommendation from the nomination committee is available on the Company's website www.nelhydrogen.com in accordance with section 12 of the articles of association.

14. Authorisation to the board of directors to approve distribution of dividend: Spin-off of Nel Hydrogen Fueling

Reference is made to an announcement from the Company on 28 February 2024, where the Company inter alia announced that it is exploring a spin-off of the business division Nel Hydrogen Fueling to a newly established company, and subsequently to distribute the shares in the new company to the existing shareholders of the Company as dividend-in-kind as part of the spin-off process. In the same announcement, it was also announced that the intention is to list the shares in the new company on a regulated market.

No final decision has been made with respect to such spin-off of the fueling business. However, in order to facilitate an effective process related to a potential final decision concerning such spin-off, it is practical that the board is authorised to resolve the distribution of dividends.

On this background, the board proposes that the general meeting passes the following resolution:

"The board is authorised to approve and carry out a distribution of dividend based on the Company's annual accounts for 2023 pursuant to section 8-2 (2) of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act. The authorisation may only be used for distribution of shares. The authorisation shall remain in force until the Company's annual general meeting in 2025."

Proposal from the Nomination Committee in Nel ASA for the Annual General Meeting 23 April 2024

The following constitute the Nomination Committee of Nel ASA:

  • Eivind Veddeng Sars
  • Andreas Poole

The nomination committee has had seven meetings over the last year. Following an extensive review of the board in Nel ASA with Russell Reynolds ahead of the 2023 AGM there has been relatively less activity in the nomination committee during the period. Over the course of the year the committee has been in continuous dialogue with all board members and management to evaluate the functionality of the board. The feedback has been positive. The largest known shareholders are represented in, or has been invited to, the nomination committee. The largest shareholder in Nel ASA is a nominee account. To the committee's knowledge, there are many small shareholders behind this account.

1. Election of Board members

The Nomination Committee proposes that the following members are elected for one year, or until next ordinary Annual General Meeting. All the members are considered independent from main shareholders and administration. In line with the recommendation of the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance, we propose that each member is voted for individually. If the committee's proposal is voted for, the Board of Directors of Nel ASA will consist of the following members (in alphabetical order after chair):

  • a) Ole Enger, Chair of the board (served since 2017)
  • b) Hanne Blume (served since 2019)
  • c) Charlotta Falvin (served since 2020)
  • d) Beatriz Malo de Molina (served since 2017)
  • e) Arvid Moss (served since 2023)

3. Remuneration of the Board of Directors

Chairperson: NOK 750,000

5. Remuneration for the Audit Committee

Remuneration to Board of Directors and other committees Remuneration to Group Leadership Team

GUIDELINES FOR THE REMUNERATION OF THE GROUP LEADERSHIP TEAM

Nel's guidelines for the remuneration of the company's CEO and other members of the Group Leadership Team reflect Nel's approach, whereby Nel offers an overall compensation package that should be competitive but not market leading.

The CEO has a bonus arrangement limited to a maximum of 50% of his fixed salary. The CEO's annual bonus is based on achievements related to quantitative KPIs set by the board. The KPIs balance short-term financial and operational targets with strategic initiatives that support the long-term development of the company.

In addition to the base salary, Group Leadership Team members (along with all other Nel employees) are part of Nel's Short Term Incentive program (STI) which is further described in a dedicated section of this report. The Group Leadership Team also participates in a LTI plan where options will be awarded in 2024 based on 2023 employment.

The combination of fixed and incentive-based remuneration has been chosen to ensure that Nel attracts and retains key talent in a highly competitive, international talent market.

The tables below set out the key performance indicators, actual performance and corresponding award outcome for the STI for the Group Leadership Team for the financial year 2023, payable in 2024. The actual and maximum award are shown as percentage of annual base salary at the end of year. All financial metrics have linear payout from zero at threshold to maximum payout at the stretch performance target. Non-financial metrics have detailed quantitative, semi-quantitative or qualitative descriptions depending on the target. Details of non-financial metrics have been omitted as these contain business sensitive information.

Components of Group Leadership Team remuneration

In 2023, the members of Group Leadership Team receive the following remuneration:

  • Fixed annual base salary, including a pension contribution in line with market and similar to all other employees in the respective locations.
  • Short-term incentive (STI) based on yearly company performance and individual performance.
  • Long-term incentive (LTI) in the form of a share option program. Options will be awarded in 2024 based on 2023 employment.
  • Other customary benefits on terms generally aligned to those received by other employees.

3 Filip Smeets, former CCO, left Nel on 31 December 2023. Mr. Smeets received NOK 2 179 800 in severance pay which is presented as variable pay

FIXED ANNUAL BASE SALARY AND VARIABLE PAY

In 2023, the remuneration of Group Leadership Team (GLT) was in accordance with external benchmarks (Mercer) in the respective geographies.

In this Leadership Remuneration Report, all fixed annual base salaries are converted to Norwegian Kroner (NOK) for the purpose of consistency. This might result in some currency conversion differences given that salaries are accounted in the different geographies, more specifically Denmark and the United States.

All positions entitled to a yearly salary review have received an increase in line with the range of adjustments given to the rest of the Nel employees in their country of employment.

Remuneration in 2023 includes variable pay. Refer to separate sections Metrics and performance of Group Leadership team members in the 2023 financial year and Long-term incentive plan (LTI): share-based payments for additional information of awards.

OTHER CUSTOMARY BENEFITS

Members of Group Leadership are eligible for any Nel-paid pension contribution as any other Nel employees according to the local practice in the different geographies. The CEO receives limited additional non-financial benefits, including NOK 200 000 in annual car allowance as part of his agreement.

Other benefits – such as company canteen, parking, company paid personnel and travel insurances, internet and phone allowance are provided on the same basis as is available to other employees in Norway and Denmark. In the US, a medical benefit plan is also provided to leadership positions consistent to the plan provided to all other employees in these locations.

Short-term incentive plan (STI): performance-based pay

The purpose of the STI is to incentivize performance, ensure the commitment of all employees at all levels in the company, and promote alignment of interests to Nel's strategy and direction. The STI is a cash based variable compensation that can vary from zero to a full one-month salary (1/12 of annual base salary) for all employees in the company including the members of the GLT. The plan key features and balance between the financial results and the individual contribution are described below.

To align with external market, practice a change in reward structure was recommended and applied from 2022, with the introduction of an all-employee short-term incentive proposed, linked to corporate performance.

KEY PLAN FEATURES OF THE STI PLAN:

All employees are eligible for a cash, annual STI4 .

  • Employees will be eligible for a maximum of one month's base salary
  • Performance Period: 1st January 31st December
  • Performance Measures (additive structure):
    • Financial: 30%
  • For 2022, the financial targets were not met, and no employee qualified for financial targets
  • For 2023, financial targets have been set on division or group level based on role
  • For 2024, financial targets have been set on division or group level based on role
    • Non-financial: 70% based upon the new appraisal structure
  • Payment linked to rating within discretionary range
  • Where an employee receives an unsatisfactory rating or is on a performance improvement plan, no Financial or Non-Financial bonus payment will be made
  • On plan performance delivers 2/3rds of maximum potential.
  • Leading Reward Principle: Reward shall be fair, transparent and consistent. Ensures fair treatment and opportunity (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) for all (current and future) employees.

For the 2023 program (payable in 2024), the maximum achievable bonus will be adjusted upwards to 15-40 % for a limited set of key employees. These individuals will have a higher share of their targets linked to financial KPIs. The CEO has a maximum STI of 50 % of base annual salary. His targets are set annually based on a combination of financial targets, non-financial metrics and delivery on key initiatives.

Payments for the program are subject to a minimum acceptable level of financial performance as determined by the Board

4 employees starting to work in the company before October 1st of a given year (before Q4) – proportionally of period worked. Employees who have delivered their resignation are not entitled to the STI except if the local laws and regulations require it

Long-term incentive plan (LTI): share-based payments

The purpose of the LTI is to incentivise performance, ensure the commitment and retention of Group Leadership, and promote alignment of interests with those of the shareholders. The LTI is a share option program which applies to the CEO, the rest of the Group Leadership Team in Nel and a few selected critical roles outside of this team. The previous share option program encompassing all employees was originally launched in 2018 as a three-year program from 2018 to 2020. In 2021 the Board of Directors decided to prolong the program for one additional year and the program continued to be applicable for all employees. From 2022, the LTI applied only to the limited positions as indicated above.

To align with external market, practice a change in reward structure was recommended and applied from 2022, with the introduction of an all-employee short-term incentive proposed, linked to corporate performance (see STI description earlier in the document).

Future participation in equity programs (Long Term incentive) will be limited to those who have direct line of sight and influence over our long-term success. Equity programs will cover Group Leadership Team plus key and critical talent.

Options are granted once per year. The share-based payment is equity-settled. Each option, when exercised, will give the right to acquire one share in the Group.

Options are granted with a strike price equal to the higher of the average price of the Nel ASA share the last five trading days and the closing price of the Nel ASA share on the grant date and including an 8% premium. All options granted have the gain caped at NOK 5 per share for options granted from 2018 to 2020 and NOK 10 per share for options granted in 2021, 2022 and 2023. In 2021 the number of options were reduced by 50 percent compared to the number of options granted the previous years.

Once options are vested employees may exercise the options during a five-day exercise window which shall be available in connection with the presentation of the quarterly figures four times per year.

All options have only service-time based vesting conditions. Vesting requires the option holder still to be an employee in the company. Specifically, options do not vest after the date the employee serves his or her notice to terminate the engagement with the company or has been notified in writing of the termination of employment by the company.

Options already vested prior to the date the employee serves his or her notice to terminate the engagement or has been notified in writing of the termination shall be exercised in the first period of exercise following the termination date. All vested options not exercised by the employee in the first period of exercise following the termination date will become void and lapse without compensation to the employee.

The CEO has been or will be granted 500 000 options on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the commencement date of his employment (July 1, 2022). Each option vests after three years of grant and may, subject to continued employment, be exercised over a two-year period thereafter. Each option entitles him to acquire one new share of the Company at an exercise price equal to the listed price at the date of grant plus 10%. A maximum profit level has been implemented which limits the accumulated profit for all options to NOK 25 million, and to NOK 30 per option.

LTI 2024

Options will be awarded in 2024 based on 2023 employment. The Group Leadership Team members except for the CEO obtained 150 000 options each, with a 3-year vesting period, 5-year expiry and a cap on gain per option of 10 NOK per share. The strike price is calculated as outlined in the program description.

LTI 2021

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S ASSURANCE REPORT ON REMUNERATION REPORT

To the General Meeting of Nel ASA

Opinion

We have performed an assurance engagement to obtain reasonable assurance that Nel ASA's report on salary and other remuneration to directors (the remuneration report) for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 has been prepared in accordance with section 6-16 b of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act and the accompanying regulation.

In our opinion, the remuneration report has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with section 6-16 b of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act and the accompanying regulation.

Board of directors' responsibilities

The board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the remuneration report and that it contains the information required in section 6-16 b of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act and the accompanying regulation and for such internal control as the board of directors determines is necessary for the preparation of a remuneration report that is free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

Our independence and quality control

We are independent of the company in accordance with the requirements of the relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. The firm applies International Standard on Quality Management, which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Auditor's responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the remuneration report contains the information required in section 6-16 b of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act and the accompanying regulation and that the information in the remuneration report is free from material misstatements. We conducted our work in accordance with the International Standard for Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 – "Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information".

We obtained an understanding of the remuneration policy approved by the general meeting. Our procedures included obtaining an understanding of the internal control relevant to the preparation of the remuneration report in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. Further we performed procedures to ensure completeness and accuracy of the information provided in the remuneration report, including whether it contains the information required by the law and accompanying regulation. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
