The Guidelines are presented to the general meeting for approval, cf. PLC sections 5-6 (3) and 6-16 a (5).
The Guidelines are:
"The Board of Directors of Nordic Mining ASA is responsible for determining the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer is, together with the Board, again responsible for the remuneration of the members of the management team.
The principle which is used to determine the remuneration is that the total compensation package shall reflect the responsibility and duties resting with the management team, and that the employee contributes to the long-term sustainable value creation to the Group's shareholders and other stakeholders. Providing competitive remuneration packages will ensure the company's competitiveness in the labor market to attract the skills and competencies needed to support the company's business strategy, long term interests and economic development, nationally as well as internationally. The compensation benefits shall be set at a level that is reasonable with due regard to the company's financial situation.
The remuneration will consist of a fixed annual cash salary and may also consist of a variable element. Variable remuneration shall as a main rule be based on objective, definable and measurable criteria and contribute to the long-term sustainable value creation of the Group.
Subject to approval from the general meeting, the company will also have option program on the terms and conditions set out in item 12 below and as approved by the general meeting 19 May 2022 that comprises the management group. The option program expires on the dates reflected in the respective resolutions by the general meetings.
The Chief Executive Officer and the management team participate in ordinary pension and insurance schemes which are applied for all employees in Nordic Mining ASA. The company has employment agreements for the Chief Executive Officer and the management team with ordinary terms and conditions, including terms and conditions in relation to resignation and salary in the period of notice and remuneration in any transitional period. New agreements will be based on the aforesaid principles.
The Board of Directors has not set an upper or lower limit for the salary of the management team except for the principles stated above.
The Board of Directors will annually review the Guidelines. Any conflict of interest will be handled in accordance with good corporate governance principles. The Chief Executive Officer and the management team do not serve as board members in the company.
The Board of Directors may, in special circumstances, temporarily deviate from the Guidelines. The Board of Directors may deviate from all elements of the Guidelines when deemed necessary in order to safeguard the company's long-term interest and financial sustainability or ensure the company's viability. Should the Board of Directors decide that such deviation from the Guideline is necessary, the decision shall be made in a board meeting and the reasons for the deviation shall be included in the minutes of the relevant board meeting."

The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting approves the Guidelines by adopting the following resolution:
"The general meeting approved the 2023 Guidelines on salary and other remuneration to executive personnel of Nordic Mining ASA."
In accordance with PLC section 6-16 b and Norwegian regulation FOR-2020-12-11-2730 chapters III and section 7, the Board of Directors shall ensure that a report is prepared each financial year which provides a comprehensive overview of paid and outstanding salaries and remuneration for the previous financial year covered by the Guidelines as regulated by PLC section 6- 16a. The Report is submitted to the general meeting for an advisory vote, cf. PLC sections 5-6 (4) and 6-16 b (2). The 2022 Report will be made available on www.nordicmining.com latest 10 days before the General Meeting.
The Board proposes that the general meeting adopts the following resolution:
"The General Meeting approved the 2022 Report on salary and other remuneration to executive personnel of Nordic Mining ASA."
In the ordinary general meeting 19 May 2022, the general meeting in Nordic Mining ASA gave the Board of Directors an authorization to issue shares in connection with raising of capital for the company. The authorization has not been used.
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting passes a new authorization as further described below.
The background for the proposal is that it is desirable that the Board of Directors is granted authorization to issue shares in connection with transactions and raising of capital for the further development and investments related to the company's projects. An authorization to the Board of Directors will give the company a tool for effective completion and development of the values of the project portfolio.
To ensure the company sufficient flexibility, it is proposed that the authorization gives the Board of Directors ability to deviate from the existing shareholders' preferential right to subscribe for shares, cf. section 10-4 of the PLC. The background for the proposal is that it is desirable that the Board of Directors is given possibilities to carry out private placements towards other companies or persons, or to carry out transactions within the company's core business areas against consideration in shares, in whole or in part.
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting passes the following resolution:
"The Board of Directors of Nordic Mining ASA (the "Company") is authorized to increase the share capital of the Company by up to NOK 130,000,000, by one or more share issues, equal to approximately 10 per cent of the total issued shares at the date of this summons.
The authorization may be used for placements and issuance of shares in favor of suitable investors to raise additional capital to the Company.
The existing shareholders' preferential right to subscribe for shares may be deviated from.

Payment of share capital in connection with share capital increase under this authorization may be made with other assets than cash as described in section 10-2 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act.
If the Board of Directors resolves a cash issue pursuant to this authorization, with the consequence that the interests of the existing shareholders in the Company necessitates a subsequent offering, the Board of Directors shall resolve – or should this authorization not be sufficient, within reasonable time call for a general meeting with proposal for – a share capital increase where the Company's shareholders shall be offered to subscribe for shares on the same conditions (repair issue).
The Board of Directors is granted the authority to amend Article 4 of the Articles of Association with regard to the size of the share capital in accordance with capital increase(s) determined by the Board of Directors pursuant to this authorization.
This authorization shall be valid till 30 June 2024.
This authorization replaces the authorization issued by the general meeting 19 May 2022 (item 11 to the minutes from the meeting)."

The general meeting approved 19 May 2022 the existing incentive program. The Board of Directors may award 4,000,000 options under the program.
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting approves a new share option program supplementing the existing incentive program based on the main principles set out below.
The purpose of the option program is to provide an incentive scheme for leading employees in the Nordic Mining Group and qualified resource persons. The option program is considered as an important tool for recruiting and retaining resource persons when the Nordic Mining Group shall attract highly competent persons who will work with the construction and operation of the mineral plant at Engebø.
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting approves an option program authorizing the Board of Directors to enter into agreements with leading employees in the Nordic Mining Group and other qualified resource persons whereby options with right to subscribe for shares in Nordic Mining ASA are granted.
The proposed option program will entitle the option holders to subscribe for up to 76 million shares in Nordic Mining ASA, equal to approximately 3,5 per cent of the share capital of the company at the date of this summons.
The proposed terms and conditions for the option program are:

The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting passes the following resolution regarding the company's incentive program:
