Selskapet vil forholde seg til de enhver tid gjeldende smittevernsregler og anbefalinger gitt av myndighetene. Dette kan inkludere å begrense antall aksjeeiere som møter fysisk og til å endre møteformen til et heldigitalt møte, uten mulighet for fysisk oppmøte.

NOTICE OF

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

OF

BEWI ASA

(REG NO 925 437 948)

The board of directors of BEWI ASA (reg. no. 925 437 948 (the "Company") hereby calls for an extraordinary general meeting for the shareholders.

  • Tid: 16. februar 2022 kl. 11:00. Time: 16 February 2022 at 11:00 (CET).
    • Place: Advokatfirmaet Thommessen AS, Ruseløkkveien 38, 13th floor, 0251 Oslo, Norway

Due to the ongoing situation relating to the spread of the Covid-19 virus, the shareholders are encouraged to abstain from appearing in person at the extraordinary general meeting, but instead participate by casting their votes in advance or grant the chair of the board of directors (or another person appointed by him) an authorization to vote, with or without voting instructions.

The Company will comply with applicable restrictions imposed or urged by the Norwegian authorities. This may include limiting the number of shareholders who may physically attend the meeting or hold the meeting as fully digitally, without the possibility to meet in person.

The shareholders will be given possibility to follow the meeting and raise questions through Microsoft Teams. The Company will in this respect publish a stock exchange announcement closer to the meeting date. Further information is included below.

The general meeting will be opened by the chair of the board of directors, Gunnar Syvertsen, or the person appointed by the board of directors. The person opening the meeting will record attendance of present shareholders and proxies.

The board of directors of the Company proposes the following agenda for the general meeting:

2 VALG AV EN PERSON TIL Å MEDUNDERTEGNE PROTOKOLLEN

Styret foreslår at en person som er tilstede på generalforsamlingen velges til å medundertegne protokollen.

3 GODKJENNING AV INNKALLING OG DAGSORDEN 3 APPROVAL OF THE NOTICE AND AGENDA

4 FULLMAKT TIL STYRET TIL Å FORHØYE AKSJEKAPITALEN VED UTSTEDELSE AV NYE AKSJER

Som tidligere annonsert, har Selskapet inngått avtale om å kjøpe samtlige aksjer i Jackon Holding AS. I aksjekjøpsavtalen med HAAS AS, som eier 50% av aksjene i Jackon Holding AS, er partene enige om at vederlaget til HAAS AS på totalt NOK 1.474.979.480 skal gjøres opp ved utstedelse av 32.070.000 vederlagsaksjer i Selskapet pålydende NOK 1,00 til kurs NOK 45,9925. De øvrige aksjeeierne i Jackon Holding AS vil i henhold til aksjekjøpsavtalen inngått med dem, motta vederlaget i kontanter.

Gjennomføringen av aksjekjøpsavtalen med HAAS AS er bl.a. betinget av at Selskapets generalforsamling treffer de nødvendige vedtak for utstedelse av vederlagsaksjene. Det er foreløpig ikke klart når de øvrige betingelsene for gjennomføringen av aksjekjøpsavtalen, herunder at Selskapet mottar de nødvendige godkjenninger fra relevante konkurransemyndigheter, vil foreligge. Styret foreslår derfor at styret gis fullmakt til å utstede vederlagsaksjene til HAAS AS, slik at dette kan skje på en smidig måte når vilkårene for å gjennomføre aksjekjøpsavtalen er oppfylt.

Styret foreslår at generalforsamlingen gir styret følgende fullmakt til å forhøye aksjekapitalen og at generalforsamlingen fatter følgende vedtak:

1 VALG AV MØTELEDER 1 ELECTION OF A CHAIRPERSON OF THE MEETING

Styret foreslår at Hans Cappelen Arnesen velges som møteleder. The board of directors proposes that Hans Cappelen Arnesen is elected to chair the meeting.

2 ELECTION OF A PERSON TO CO-SIGN THE MINUTES

The board of directors proposes that a person present at the general meeting is elected to co-sign the minutes.

Styret foreslår at generalforsamlingen treffer følgende vedtak: The board of directors proposes that the general meeting passes the following resolution:

Innkalling og dagsorden godkjennes. The notice and the agenda are approved.

4 BOARD AUTHORIZATION TO INCREASE THE SHARE CAPITAL BY ISSUANCE OF NEW SHARES

As previously announced, the Company has entered into an agreement to purchase all issued and outstanding shares in Jackon Holding AS. Pursuant to the share purchase agreement entered into with HAAS AS, which owns 50% of the issued shares in Jackon Holding AS, the parties have agreed that the consideration of in total NOK 1,474,979,480 shall be settled by the issuance of 32,070,000 consideration shares in the Company, each with a nominal value of NOK 1.00, at a subscription price of NOK 45.9925. The remaining shareholders of Jackon Holding AS will pursuant to the share purchase agreement entered into with them receive their consideration solely in cash.

Completion of the share purchase agreement entered into with HAAS AS is inter alia conditioned on the Company's general meeting resolving to make the required resolutions to issue the consideration shares. At this date, it is not clear when the other conditions for completion of the share purchase agreement will be fulfilled, including when the Company will obtain the required approvals from the relevant competition authorities. The board of directors, therefore, proposes that the general meeting grants it authorization to issue the consideration shares to HAAS AS, as such will facilitate an efficient share issue once the other conditions for completing the share purchase agreements are fulfilled.

On basis of the above, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting grants it the following authorization to issue the share capital and resolves to pass the following resolution:

  • (i) I henhold til allmennaksjeloven § 10-14 gis styret fullmakt til å forhøye Selskapets aksjekapital med inntil NOK 32.070.000.
  • (ii) Aksjeeiernes fortrinnsrett til å tegne de nye aksjene etter allmennaksjeloven § 10-4 kan fravikes.
  • (iii) Fullmakten kan kun benyttes for å utstede aksjer i forbindelse med Selskapets erverv av aksjer i Jackon Holding AS.
  • (iv) Fullmakten omfatter kapitalforhøyelse mot innskudd i andre eiendeler enn penger og rett til å pådra Selskapet særlige plikter etter allmennaksjeloven § 10-2.
  • (v) Fullmakten gjelder fra registrering i Foretaksregisteret og frem til 1. januar 2023.
  • (i) Pursuant to Section 10-14 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the board of directors is granted an authorization to increase the Company's share capital by up to NOK 32,070,000.
  • (ii) The shareholders' preferential right to subscribe for the new shares pursuant to Section 10-4 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act may be deviated from.
  • (iii) The authorization may only be used to issue new shares in connection with the Company's acquisition of shares in Jackon Holding AS.
  • (iv) The authorization comprises share capital increases against contribution in kind and the right to incur specific obligations on behalf of the Company, cf. Section 10-2 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act.
  • (v) The authorization shall be effective from the date it is registered in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and until 1 January 2023.

I tilknytning til gjennomføringen av Selskapets kjøp av samtlige aksjer i Jackon Holding AS vil det bli utstedt 32.070.000 vederlagsaksjer i Selskapet til familien Akselsens selskap HAAS AS, som ved dette blir eier av omtrent 17% av aksjene i Selskapet. Basert på HAAS AS eierandel i Selskapet og den industrielle kompetansen HAAS AS representerer, har valgkomiteen foreslått at Andreas M. Akselsen velges som nytt medlem av Selskapets styre med virkning fra gjennomføringen av kjøpet av Jackon Holding AS.

Det foreslås på denne bakgrunn at generalforsamlingen treffer følgende vedtak:

Følgende nye styremedlem velges med virkning fra gjennomføringen av Selskapets kjøp av aksjene i Jackon Holding AS og for en periode frem til Selskapets ordinære generalforsamling i 2023:

Andreas M. AkselsenAndreas M. Akselsen

5 VALG AV NYTT STYREMEDLEM 5 ELECTION OF A NEW MEMBER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In connection with the completion of the Company's acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares in Jackon Holding AS, in total 32,070,000 consideration shares in the Company will be issued to the Akselsen family's company HAAS AS, which following such issuance will be the owner of approximately 17% of the shares in the Company. Based on HAAS AS' ownership interest in the Company and the industrial competency HAAS AS represents, the nomination committee has proposed that Andreas M. Akselsen is elected as a new member of the Company's board of directors, effective from completion of the acquisition of Jackon Holding AS.

Fra samme tidspunkt trer Stig Wærnes ut av styret. At the same time, Stig Wærnes will resign from his position as a board member.

On basis of the above, it is proposed that the general meeting adopts the following resolution:

    1. Valgkomiteens innstilling 1. The nomination committees recommendation
      -

The nomination committee's recommendation to the extraordinary general meeting in BEWI ASA on 16 February 2022

BEWI ASA's nomination committee currently has the following composition:

  • Liv Malvik Chair
  • Gunnar Syvertsen
  • Roar Husby

Background

The current nomination committee was elected on the extraordinary general meeting of BEWI ASA on 21 August 2020, prior to the listing of the company at Euronext Growth in August 2020 and later at Oslo Børs in December 2020. Member of the nomination committee, Gunnar Syvertsen, is also the chairman of the board of directors of BEWI ASA.

Following the amendments to the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance issued on 17 October 2021, where the section on the nomination committee has been changed to the effect that no member of the company's board of directors should also be a member of its nomination committee, Gunnar Syvertsen has announced that he will resign from the nomination committee.

On 1 October 2021, BEWI ASA launched an offer to purchase all outstanding shares in Jackon Holding AS (the "Transaction"). The offer was accepted by all shareholders of Jackon on 15 October 2021. In connection with the completion of the Transaction, BEWI will issue a total of 32,070,000 consideration shares to the Akselsen family through their wholly owned company HAAS AS, the owner of 50 per cent of Jackon. Upon the share issue, HAAS AS will hold a total of approximately 17 per cent of the shares in BEWI ASA.

Based on HAAS AS' ownership in BEWI ASA, as well as the Akselsen family's industrial competence and knowledge from establishing and developing Jackon since its inception, the nomination committee proposes that Andreas M. Akselsen is elected as board member of BEWI ASA, with effect from, and subject to, completion of the Transaction. The committee proposes that Akselsen replaces Stig Wærnes as board member.

The nomination committee has assessed the board's work and composition based on the competence needs of BEWI ASA, the company's situation, opportunities, and challenges. The committee has contacted the largest shareholder, existing board members and the CEO of BEWI ASA, with an invitation to provide any suggestions related to the composition of the board.

For the extraordinary general meeting of BEWI ASA on 16 February 2022, the nomination committee presents the following recommendations:

1. Proposed changes to the composition of the nomination committee

As Gunnar Syvertsen will resign from the nomination committee, the nomination committee proposes that the committee consists of two members until BEWI's annual general meeting, planned for 2 June 2022. The following persons are suggested to be elected as members of BEWI's nomination committee for the period up to the annual general meeting 2024:

  • Liv Malvik Chair
  • Roar Husby

In accordance with the company's Articles of Association, the nomination committee shall consist of between two and four members, and the members are elected for a term of two years unless the general meeting decides otherwise. Both members are independent of the board of directors and the management of BEWI ASA.

2. Election of members to the board of directors

The nomination committee is of the opinion that the current board functions well, and that the board has broad and relevant expertise and a good understanding of the company's strategic challenges and opportunities.

Based on the Transaction, the nomination committee recommends that the following board member shall be elected at BEWI ASA's extraordinary general meeting on 16 February 2022, with effect from, and subject to, completion of the Transaction:

Name (year of birth) Board position New member /
re-election
Term
Andreas M. Akselsen (1977) Board member New election Until the AGM 2024

Andreas M. Akselsen is a Norwegian citizen and has a Master of Science in Business Administration from BI Norwegian School of Management, and a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering.

Akselsen was employed by Jackon from 2004 to 2018 and has since then worked as a consultant for the company, in addition to other assignments within primarily real estate and other development and restructuring projects. In Jackon, Akselsen has held various positions, including procurement, strategy and business development, mergers, and acquisitions, restructuring and financing. From 2008 to 2018 he was a member of Jackon's management team. Akselsen has been on the board of directors of Jackon since 2000 and holds several board assignments both in Jackon subsidiaries and in other external companies.

Akselsen will (indirectly, through his ownership in HAAS AS) own 32,070,000 shares in BEWI ASA following completion of BEWI's acquisition of Jackon Holding AS and the share issue from BEWI ASA.
