Selskapet annonserte 21. oktober 2019 inngåelse
av en avtale hvor Selskapets eierandeler i Aje
feltet i Nigeria skal selges til Petronor E&P Ltd.
I
forbindelse
med
gjennomføring
av
transaksjonen
forventes
at
Selskapet
som
vederlag vil motta aksjer i Petronor E&P Ltd.
med en verdi på opp til USD 10.000.000.
Selskapet har som intensjon å dele slike aksjer
ut
som
utbytte
til
Panoros
aksjonærer.
Tidspunktet
for
gjennomføring
av
transaksjonen er blant annet avhengig av
godkjennelser fra lokale myndigheter i Nigeria,
og er på tidspunktet for innkallingen derfor ikke
klarlagt. På den ordinære generalforsamlingen
2020 ble det vedtatt å gi styret en fullmakt til å
foreta utdeling av utbytte. Styret foreslår således
at generalforsamlingen fornyer slik fullmakt til
å beslutte et utbytte på et senere tidspunkt, og
at
denne
fullmakten

beslutning om utbytte i andre eiendeler enn
On 21 October 2019, the Company announced
signing of an agreement pursuant to which the
Company's ownership interests in the Aje-field
in Nigeria will be sold to Petronor E&P Ltd. In
connection with closing of the transaction, it is
expected that the Company will receive shares
in Petronor E&P Ltd. as consideration, in a
value of up to USD 10,000,000. It is the
intention of the Company to distribute such
shares as dividend to the Panoro shareholders.
The timing for closing is, inter alia, dependent
on approvals from local authorities in Nigeria,
and is as such not known at the date of this
calling notice. At the ordinary general meeting
2020, it was thus approved to give the Board the
authority to resolve dividend payments. The
Board thus proposes that the general meeting
renews such authorization to resolve a dividend
at a later stage, and that such authorization will
still include the approval of dividends with
penger samt å fastslå hvilken dato for eierskap i
Panoro-aksjen som er avgjørende for å motta
distribution of assets other than cash and to
determine the relevant date for ownership to
utbytte. the Panoro share in order to receive the
dividend.
Styret foreslår at generalforsamlingen treffer
følgende vedtak:
The Board proposes that the general meeting
makes the following resolution:
«Styrets forslag til årsregnskap og årsberetning
for regnskapsåret 2020 godkjennes. Styret gis
fullmakt til å beslutte utbytte på totalt opp til
USD
10.000.000

gjelder frem til ordinær generalforsamling i 2022.

NOK at the time of the Board's resolution). The
authorization is valid until the ordinary general
meeting in 2022. The authorization includes
resolutions on dividends in assets other than
cash, and the Board may determine the "ex-date",

styret utarbeide en særskilt erklæring om
fastsettelse av lønn og annen godtgjørelse til
daglig leder og andre ledende ansatte for

In accordance with Section 6-16 a of the Public
Limited Companies Act, the Board shall prepare
a special statement on stipulation of wages and
other remuneration to the Chief Executive
Officer and other leading employees for the
coming accounting year. The statement is
attached hereto as Enclosure 4.
I
samsvar
med
gjeldende
anbefaling
for
eierstyring
og
selskapsledelse,
har
styret
foreslått å behandle den veiledende delen og
den bindende delen av erklæringen separat.
Pursuant to the applicable recommendation for
corporate governance, the Board has proposed

part of the statement up as separate items.
Styret foreslår følgende, separate vedtak: The Board proposes the following, separate
resolutions:

etterretning.»
Item

Item
10B:
"The
Board's
statement

employees, its part 2 relating to share based
remuneration, is approved."

Forslag
om
fullmakt
til
styret
til
forhøyelse
av
aksjekapitalen
ved
nytegning av aksjer under Selskapets
insentivprogram.
11. Proposal to give the authorization to the
Board to conduct capital increases by way of
share issue under the Company's incentive
program.
Styret foreslår at fullmakten som ble gitt på
ordinær generalforsamling i 2020 i hovedsak
fornyes for ett år. Fullmakten er begrenset til ca.
5
%
av
dagens
registrerte
aksjekapital.
Eksisterende
aksjonærers
fortrinnsrett
til
tegning foreslås fraveket for å muliggjøre
utstedelse av aksjer til ansatte.
The Board proposes that the authorization
given at the ordinary general meeting in 2020 is
substantially
renewed
for
one
year.
The
authorization is limited to approximately 5% of
the current registered share capital. Existing
shareholders' pre-emption rights to subscribe
new shares are proposed set aside in order to
allow for issue of shares to employees.
Styret foreslår følgende vedtak: The Board proposes the following resolution:
«Selskapets
styre
tildeles
fullmakt
til
å
gjennomføre
kapitalforhøyelse,

følgende
vilkår:
"The Company's Board is authorized to increase
the share capital, on the following conditions:
281.996,75 ved utstedelse av opp til 5.639.935 281,996.75 by the issuance of up to 5,639,935
nye aksjer i Selskapet. new shares in the Company.
2. Fullmakten kan benyttes til å utstede aksjer
til
selskapets
ansatte
under
Selskapets
insentivprogram.
2.
The authorization may be used to issue
shares to the Company's employees under
the Company's incentive program.
3. Fullmakten
skal
gjelde
til
ordinær
generalforsamling i 2022, likevel senest til 30.
juni 2022.

The authorization shall be valid until the
ordinary general meeting in 2022, but no
later than until 30 June 2022.

kan settes til side.

The

fusjon.»

The Board is authorized to alter the Articles

7.
The authorization does not include decision
on merger."

om
fullmakt
til
styret
til
forhøyelse av aksjekapitalen ved nytegning
av aksjer for andre formål.
12. Proposal to give the authorization to the
Board to conduct capital increases by way of
share issues for other purposes.
Styret
ser
det
som
hensiktsmessig
at
aksjonærene gir styret fullmakt til å utstede
aksjer i forbindelse med mulige oppkjøp. En slik
fleksibilitet kan være i Selskapets interesse, da
det kan tenkes at styret må handle raskt i
tilknytning
til
oppkjøpsmuligheter
eller
i
forbindelse
med
å
utnytte
muligheter
i
kapitalmarkedene.
Foreslått
fullmakt
er
i
hovedsak en fornyelse av den fullmakt som ble
godkjent på ordinær generalforsamling i 2020.
The Board believes it is appropriate that the
shareholders
furnish
the
Board
with
an
authorization to issue shares in connection
with possible mergers and acquisitions. Such
flexibility can be in the interest of the Company,
as the Board may have to act quickly in relation
to acquisition opportunities or in connection
with
utilizing

The
proposed
authorization
is
substantially a renewal of the authorization
approved by the 2020 ordinary general meeting.

fleksibilitet i forhold til størrelsen på en
emisjon, foreslås fullmakten begrenset til ca. 10

In order to give the Board some flexibility with
respect to the size of any share issue, it is
proposed that the authorization is limited to

«Selskapets

følgende
vilkår:
The Board proposes the following resolution:
"The Company's Board is authorized to increase
the share capital, on the following conditions:
1.
2.
Aksjekapitalen skal, i en eller flere omganger,
i alt kunne forhøyes med inntil NOK
563.993,55 ved utstedelse av opp til 11.279.871
nye aksjer i Selskapet.
Fullmakten kan benyttes til å utstede aksjer
som vederlag ved oppkjøp innen Selskapets
vanlige forretningsområder eller i forbindelse
med egenkapitalutvidelser.
1.
The share capital may, in one or more
rounds, be increased by a total of up to NOK
563,993.55 by the issuance of up to 11,279,871

of Association implied by the share capital
increase(s).
7.
The authorization does include decision on
merger."
13. Fullmakt til å erverve egne aksjer. 13. Authorization to acquire own shares.
Styret er av den oppfatning at en beholdning av
egne aksjer vil gi Selskapet fleksibilitet, bl.a. i
forhold
til
oppfyllelse
av
aksjeinsentiv
programmer for ansatte, og til finansiering av
mulige oppkjøp og andre mulige transaksjoner
foretatt av Selskapet.
In the opinion of the Board, treasury shares will
give the Company flexibility, e.g. in terms of
satisfying employee share incentive plans and
to fund possible acquisitions and other possible
corporate transactions by the Company.
Styret foreslår at generalforsamlingen vedtar i
hovedsak samme fullmakt som ble gitt på den
ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2020.
Den foreslåtte fullmaktens størrelse er ca. 10 %
av registrert aksjekapital. Fullmakten vil kun
benyttes

Selskapets aksjeinsentivprogram for ansatte
som vedtatt 2015 og fornyet i 2018, utløper ved
ordinær
generalforsamling
2021,
og
styret
foreslår at generalforsamlingen i det vesentlige
vedtar å fornye programmet. Maksimal tildeling
og
utøvelse
under
foreslått
program
vil
innebære en utvanning på 5 % ifht dagens
aksjekapital.
Styret foreslår at følgende vedtak fattes:
The Company's share based incentive program
for employees as approved in 2015 and renewed
in 2018, expires at the 2021 ordinary general
meeting,
and
the
Board
proposes
to
substantially renew the program. A maximum
grant and vesting pursuant to the proposed
program will represent a dilution of 5%
compared to the current share capital.
The
Board
proposes
that
the
following
resolution is approved:
A. Styret kan i løpet av programmets treårs
periode
utstede
et
antall
RSUer
som
maksimalt kan utgjøre 5 % av antall aksjer
per 27. mai 2021.
A. During the 3 year period of the program, the
Board may grant a number of RSUs which
in total may represent up to 5% of the
number of shares as per 27 May 2021.
B. RSUer kan tildeles ansatte etter styrets
nærmere beslutning. Styret vil normalt
fastsette kriterier for måloppnåelse for
tildeling av RSUer.
B. RSUs may be granted to employees as
further determined by the Board. The Board
will normally establish performance criteria
for the grant of RSUs.
C. Hver RSU gir mottakeren rett til å tegne 1
aksje i Selskapet mot å betale aksjens
pålydende.
C. Each RSU entitles the recipient to subscribe
1 share in the Company against payment of
the par value of the share.
D. Tildelte RSUer skal bli utøvbare med 1/3
etter 1 år, 1/3 etter 2 år og 1/3 etter 3 år fra
tildeling,
hvoretter
RSUene
utøves
automatisk.
D. Granted RSUs vest by 1/3 1 year after grant,
1/3 2 years after grant and 1/3 3 years after
grant, where after the RSUs shall be
automatically exercised.
E. Ved utøvelse av RSUer kan styret beslutte å
gi
rettighetshaveren
et
kontant
beløp
tilsvarende sluttmarkedskurs på dato for
utøvelse minus pålydende for hver RSU som
utøves, i stedet for aksjer.
E. At exercise of RSUs, the Board may decide
to give the holder a cash amount equal to
the closing market price at the date of
exercise less the par value for each exercised
RSU, in lieu of shares.
F. Dersom mottakeren av RSUer ikke lengre er
ansatt i Selskapet eller konsernet, skal ikke
utøvde RSUer behandles som i programmet
vedtatt 2015.
F. If the recipient of RSUs no longer is
employed by the Company or the group,
non-exercised RSUs shall be treated in
accordance with the program approved in
2015.

Vision statement

Our vision is to use our experience and competence in enhancing value in projects in Africa to the benefit of the countries we operate in and the shareholders of the Company.

3: EQUITY AND DIVIDENDS

Panoro Energy's Board of Directors will ensure that the Company at all times has an equity capital at a level appropriate to its objectives, strategy and risk profile. The oil and gas E&P business is highly capital dependent, requiring Panoro Energy to be sufficiently capitalised. The Board needs to be proactive in order for Panoro Energy to be prepared for changes in the market.

Mandates granted to the Board to increase the Company's share capital or to purchase own shares will normally be restricted to defined purposes and are normally limited in time to the following year's Annual General Meeting. Any acquisition of our shares will be carried out through a regulated marketplace at market price, and the Company will not deviate from the principle of equal treatment of all shareholders. If there is limited liquidity in the Company's shares at the time of such transaction, the Company will consider other ways to ensure equal treatment of all shareholders.

Mandates granted to the Board for issue of shares for different purposes will each be considered separately by the General Meeting. Any decision to deviate from the principle of equal treatment by waiving the pre-emption rights of existing shareholders to subscribe for shares in the event of an increase in share capital will be justified and disclosed in the stock exchange announcement of the increase in share capital. Such deviation will be made only in the common interest of the shareholders of the Company.

Payment of dividends will be considered in the future, based on the Company's capital structure and dividend capacity as well as the availability of alternative investments.

4: EQUAL TREATMENT OF SHAREHOLDERS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH CLOSE ASSOCIATES

Panoro Energy has one class of shares representing one vote at the Annual General Meeting. The Articles of Association contains no restriction regarding the right to vote.

All Board members, employees of the Company and close associates must internally clear potential transactions in the Company's shares or other financial instruments related to the Company prior to any transaction. All transactions between the Company and shareholders, shareholder's parent company, members of the Board of Directors, executive personnel or close associates of any such parties, are governed by the Code and the rules of the Oslo Stock Exchange, in addition to statutory law. Any transaction with close associates will be evaluated by an independent third party, unless the transaction requires the approval of the General Meeting pursuant to the requirements of the Norwegian Public Limited Liabilities Companies Act. Independent valuations will also be arranged in respect of transactions between companies in the Group where any of the companies involved have minority shareholders. Any transactions with related parties, primary insiders or employees shall be made in accordance with Panoro Energy's own instructions for Insider Trading. The Company has guidelines to ensure that members of the Board and executive personnel notify the Board if they have any material direct or indirect interest in any transaction entered into by the Company.

During 2020, the Company has entered into an agreement with Africa Energy Corp. ("AEC") in relation to farming-in of 12.5% working interest in Block 2B, offshore South Africa. Mr. Garrett Soden, the Company's non-executive director, holds the position of CEO in AEC, and is also a Director. All decisions taken by the Company in relation to the Block 2B transaction was without any involvement from Mr. Soden and as such the transaction terms were negotiated at arm's length in a competitive process undertaken by AEC to farm-out their interest in the block.

Members of the Nomination Committee are requested to be present at the AGM of the Company. An independent person to chair the General Meeting will, to the extent possible, be appointed. Normally the General Meetings will be chaired by the Company's external corporate lawyer.

Shareholders who are unable to attend in person will be given the opportunity to vote by proxy. The Company will nominate a person who will be available to vote on behalf of shareholders as their proxy. Information on the procedure for representation at the meeting through proxy will be set out in the notice for the General Meeting. A form for the appointment of a proxy, which allows separate voting instructions for each matter to be considered by the meeting and for each of the candidates nominated for elections will be prepared. Dividend, remuneration to the Board and the election of the auditor, among the matters that will be decided at the AGM. After the meeting, the minutes are released on the Company's website.

7: NOMINATION COMMITTEE

The Company shall have a Nomination Committee consisting of 2 to 3 members to be elected by the Annual General Meeting for a two-year period. The Annual General Meeting elects the members and the Chairperson of the Nomination Committee and determines the committee's remuneration. The Company will provide information on the member of the Nomination Committee on its website. The Company will further give notice on its website, in good time, of any deadlines for submitting proposals for candidates for election to the Board of Directors and the Nomination Committee.

The Company aims at selecting the members of the Nomination Committee taking into account the interests of shareholders in general. The majority of the Nomination Committee shall as a rule be independent of the Board and the executive management. The Nomination Committee currently consists of three members, whereof all members are independent of the Board and the executive management.

The Nomination Committee's duties are to propose to the General Meeting shareholder elected candidates for election to the Board, and to propose remuneration to the Board. The Nomination Committee justifies its recommendations, and the recommendations take into account the interests of shareholders in general and the Company's requirements in respect of independence, expertise, gender, capacity and diversity.

The Nomination Committee is described in the Company's Articles of Association and the General Meeting may stipulate guidelines for the duties of the Nomination Committee.

8: BOARD OF DIRECTORS – COMPOSITION AND INDEPENDENCE

The composition of the Board ensures that the Board represents the common interests of all shareholders and meets the Company's need for expertise, capacity and diversity. The members of the Board represent a wide range of experience including shipping, offshore, energy, banking and investment. The composition of the Board ensures that it can operate independently of any special interests. Members of the Board are elected for a period of two years. Recruitment of members of the Board may be phased so that the entire Board is not replaced at the same time. The General Meeting elects the Chairman and any Deputy Chairman. The Company's website and annual report provides detailed information about the Board members expertise and independence. The Company has a policy whereby the members of the Board are encouraged to own shares in the Company, but to dissuade from a short-term approach which is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders over the longer term.

9: THE WORK OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board has the overall responsibility for the management and supervision of the activities in general. The Board decides the strategy of the Company and has the final say in new projects and/or investments. The Board's instructions for its own work as well as for the executive management have particular emphasis on clear internal allocation of responsibilities and duties. The Chairman of the Board ensures that the Board's duties are undertaken in efficient and correct manner. The Board shall stay informed of the Company's financial position and ensure adequate control of activities, accounts and asset management. The Board member's experience and skills are crucial to the Company both from a financial as well as an operational perspective. The Board will consider evaluating its performance and expertise annually. The CEO is responsible for the Company's daily operations and ensures that all necessary information is presented to the Board.

An annual schedule for the Board meetings is prepared and discussed together with a yearly plan for the work of the Board.

The Company has guidelines to ensure that members of the Board and executive personnel notify the Board if they have any material direct or indirect interest in any transaction entered into by the Company. Should the Board need to address matters of a material character in which the Chairman is or has been personally involved, the matter will be chaired by the Deputy Chairman of the Board to ensure a more independent consideration.

In addition to the Nomination Committee elected by the General Meeting, the Board has an Audit Committee and a Remuneration Committee as sub-committees of the Board. The members are independent of the executive management.

Currently the Audit Committee and the Remuneration Committee both consist of the complete Board. The reason for this is the rather low number of directors in the Company, which has led the Board to conclude that it is currently more efficient for the Board function that all directors also are members of committees. This practice will be further assessed in the future.

10: RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL

Financial and internal control, as well as short- and long-term strategic planning and business development, all according to Panoro Energy's business idea and vision and applicable laws and regulations, are the Board's responsibilities and the essence of its work. This emphasises the focus on ensuring proper financial and internal control, including risk control systems.

The Board approves the Company's strategy and level of acceptable risk, as documented in the guiding tool "Risk Management" described in the relevant note in the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report.

The Board carries out an annual review of the Company's most important areas of exposure to risk and its internal control arrangements.

For further details on the use of financial instruments, refer to relevant note in the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report and the Company's guiding tool "Financial Risk Management" described in relevant note in the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report.

11: REMUNERATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The remuneration to the Board will be decided by the Annual General Meeting each year.

Panoro Energy is a diversified company, and the remuneration will reflect the Board's responsibility, expertise, the complexity and scope of work as well as time commitment.

The remuneration to the Board is not linked to the Company's performance and share options will normally not be granted to Board members, unless recommended by the Nomination Committee and approved by shareholder vote. Remuneration in addition to normal director's fee will be specifically identified in the Annual Report.

Members of the Board normally do not take on specific assignments for the Company in addition to their appointment as a member of the Board.

12: REMUNERATION OF THE EXECUTIVE PERSONNEL

The Board has established guidelines for the remuneration of the executive personnel. The guidelines set out the main principles applied in determining the salary and other remuneration of the executive personnel. The guidelines ensure convergence of the financial interests of the executive personnel and the shareholders.

Panoro Energy has appointed a Remuneration Committee (RC) which meets regularly. The objective of the committee is to determine the compensation structure and remuneration level of the Company's CEO. Remuneration to the CEO shall be at market terms and decided by the Board and made official at the AGM every year. Remuneration to other key executives shall be proposed by the CEO to the RC.

The remuneration shall, both with respect to the chosen kind of remuneration and the amount, encourage addition of values to

the Company and contribute to the Company's common interests – both for management as well as the owners.

Detailed information about options and remuneration for executive personnel and Board members is provided in the Annual Report pursuant to and in accordance with section 6-16a of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act. The guidelines are normally presented to the Annual General Meeting also as a separate attachment to the Annual General Meeting notice.

13: INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS

The Company has established guidelines for the Company's reporting of financial and other information.

The Company publishes an annual financial calendar including the dates the Company plans to publish the quarterly and interim updates and the date for the Annual General Meeting. The calendar can be found on the Company's website and will also be distributed as a stock exchange notification and updated on Oslo Stock Exchange's website. The calendar is published at the end of a fiscal year, according to the continuing obligations for companies listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The calendar is also included in the Company's interim reports.

All shareholders information is published simultaneously on the Company's web site and to appropriate financial news media.

Panoro Energy normally makes four quarterly presentations a year to shareholders, potential investors and analysts in connection with quarterly earnings reports. The quarterly presentations are held through webinars to facilitate participation by all interested shareholders, analysts, potential investors and members of the financial community. A question-and-answer session is held at the end of each presentation to allow management to answer the questions of attendees. A recording of the webinar presentation is retained on the Company's website www.panoroenergy.com for a limited number of days.

The Company also makes investor presentations at conferences in and out of Norway. The information packages presented at such meetings are published simultaneously on the Company's web site.

The Chairman, CEO and CFO of Panoro Energy are the only people who are authorised to speak to, or be in contact with the press, unless otherwise described or approved by the Chairman, CEO and/or CFO.

14: TAKE-OVERS

Panoro Energy has established the following guiding principles for how the Board will act in the event of a take-over bid.

As of today, the Board does not hold any authorisations as set forth in Section 6-17 of the Securities Trading Act, to effectuate defence measures if a takeover bid is launched on Panoro Energy.

The Board may be authorised by the General Meeting to acquire its own shares but will not be able to utilise this in order to obstruct a takeover bid, unless approved by the General Meeting following the announcement of a takeover bid.

The Board of Directors will generally not hinder or obstruct takeover bids for the Company's activities or shares.

As a rule, the Company will not enter into agreements with the purpose to limit the Company's ability to arrange other bids for the Company's shares unless it is clear that such an agreement is in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders. As a starting point the same applies to any agreement on the payment of financial compensation to the bidder if the bid does not proceed. Any financial compensation will as a rule be limited to the costs the bidder has incurred in making the bid. The Company will generally seek to disclose agreements entered into with the bidder that are material to the market's evaluation of the bid no later than at the same time as the announcement that the bid will be made is published.

In the event of a take-over bid for the Company's shares, the Board of Directors will not exercise mandates or pass any resolutions with the intention of obstructing the take-over bid unless this is approved by the General Meeting following announcement of the bid.

If an offer is made for the Company's shares, the Board will issue a statement evaluating the offer and making a recommendation as to whether shareholders should or should not accept the offer. The Board will also arrange a valuation with an explanation from an independent expert. The valuation will be made public no later than at the time of the public disclosure of the Board's statement. Any transactions that are in effect a disposal of the Company's activities will be decided by a General Meeting.

15: AUDITOR

The auditor will be appointed by the General Meeting.

The Board has appointed an Audit Committee as a sub-committee of the Board, which will meet with the auditor regularly. The objective of the committee is to focus on internal control, independence of the auditor, risk management and the Company's financial standing.

The auditors will send a complete Management Letter/Report to the Board – which is a summary report of risks faced by the business. The auditor participates in meetings of the Board that deal with the annual accounts, where the auditor reviews any material changes in the Company's accounting principles, comments on any material estimated accounting figures and reports all material matters on which there has been disagreement between the auditor and the executive management of the Company.

In view of the auditor's independence of the Company's executive management, the auditor is also present in at least one Board meeting each year at which neither the CEO nor other members of the executive management are present.

Panoro Energy places importance on independence and has established guidelines in respect of retaining the Company's external auditor by the Company's executive management for services other than the audit.

The Board reports the remuneration paid to the auditor at the Annual General Meeting, including details of the fee paid for audit work and any fees paid for other specific assignments.

16: REPORTING OF PAYMENTS TO GOVERNMENTS

This report is prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act § 3-3d and Securities Trading Act § 5-5a. It states that the companies engaged in the activities within the extractive industries shall annually prepare and publish a report containing information about their payments to governments at country and project level. The Ministry of Finance has issued a regulation (F20.12.2013 nr 1682 - "the regulation") stipulating that the reporting obligation only apply to reporting entities above a certain size and to payments above certain threshold amounts. In addition, the regulation stipulates that the report shall include other information than payments to governments, and provides more detailed rules applicable to definitions, publication and group reporting.

This report contains information for the activity in the financial year 2020 for Panoro Energy ASA (hereafter referred to as the "Company" or "Panoro" throughout this section).

The management of Panoro has applied judgement in interpretation of the wording in the regulation with regard to the specific type of payments to be included in this report, and on what level it should be reported. When payments are required to be reported on a project-by-project basis, it is reported on a fieldby-field basis. Per management's interpretation of the regulation, reporting requirements only stipulate disclosure of gross amounts on operated licences as all payments within the license performed by Non-operators, normally will be cash calls transferred to the operator and will as such not be payments to governments. Panoro's activities within the extractive industries as an Operator are located in Tunisia.

Reporting of payments

The regulation's Section 2 no. 5 defines the different types of payments subject to reporting. In the following sections, only those applicable to the Company will be described.

West Africa (Nigeria and Gabon) – Non-operated

Although Panoro Energy, through its subsidiaries, has extractive activities and ownership interest in two licences in West Africa, namely Dussafu license offshore Gabon and OML-113 offshore Nigeria; both of the licenses are non-operated and as such only cash calls are disbursed to operating partners and therefore none of the payments during 2020 and 2019 can be construed as payments direct to governments under the regulation. As such, no payment will be disclosed in these cases, unless the operator is a state-owned entity, and it is possible to distinguish the payment.

In Gabon, the Group is party to a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) under which tax is paid in kind by virtue of the contractual Profit Oil allocation for the State's participation in the license. In 2020, an estimate of the value of the State Profit Oil portion was USD 2.7 million (2019: USD 3.8 million).

Tunisia - Operated

Panoro Group acquired interest in the Sfax Offshore Exploration Permit (SOEP) in Tunisia during 2018 and assumed Operatorship. No payments were made to the government of Tunisia in respect of these assets and no area fees was paid for these assets during the year ended 31 December 2020 (2019: USD Nil).

Tunisia – Non-operated

In 2018, Panoro Group acquired an interest in five oil producing concessions in Tunisia. The operations on these concessions are managed by Thyna Petroleum Services S.A. (TPS), which is a joint operating company. During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group made direct payments to the Government in the form of taxes through its jointly controlled company, Panoro TPS Production GmbH amounting to USD 4.1 million (31 December 2019: USD 7.4 million) (representing Panoro's share at 60%). Of this amount, USD 4.1 million related to taxes on income from prior year and USD nil for taxes on income of current year (31 December 2019: USD 5.3 million and USD 2.1 million respectively). Further, as at 31 December 2020, the Group had corporation tax liability of USD 1.7 million which is due for payment in the following year (31 December 2019: USD 5 million).

Recommendation from the Nomination Committee to the Annual General Meeting in Panoro Energy ASA on May 27, 2021

1. Mandate

The Nomination Committee's mandate is set out in Panoro Energy ASA's Articles of Association § 8:

"The Company shall have a Nomination Committee consisting of 2-3 members to be elected by the Annual General Meeting for a two-year period. The majority of the Nomination Committee shall be independent of the Board of Directors and the day-to-day management. The Nomination Committee's duties are to propose to the General Meeting shareholder-elected candidates for election to the Board of Directors, and to propose remuneration to the Board. The Annual General Meeting may adopt procedures for the Nomination Committee."

2. Members of the Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee is composed of Fredrik D. Sneve (chairman), Tom Olav Holberg and Jakob Iqbal.

Sneve was elected at the 2020 Annual General Meeting, whereas Holberg and Iqbal were elected at the 2019 Annual General Meeting. The term for all members expires at the 2021 Annual General Meeting.

Following amendments to the Company's articles of associations as approved at the 2020 Annual General Meeting, the Nomination Committee is now also tasked with proposing members to the Committee. The proposal is that all current members are re-elected for a term of two years.

Proposed resolution (votes to be cast separately for each candidate):

The Nomination Committee shall consist of:

Fredrik D. Sneve (chairman) Tom Olav Holberg Jakob Iqbal

All members are elected for a term ending at the 2023 Annual General Meeting.

3. Members of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors (the "Board") is composed of:

Julien Balkany, chairman since 2014 Alexandra Herger, member since 2014 Garrett Soden, member since 2015 Torstein Sanness, member since 2015 Hilde Ådland, member since 2016

The Nomination Committee has had discussions with the current board, the management of the company and certain shareholders in the company.

The Nomination Committee is of the opinion that all Board members are independent from management and major business relations, and all Board members except for the chairman Mr. Balkany, are independent from major shareholders, according to recommendations of NUES.

These discussions lead the Nomination Committee to conclude that the current Board is well qualified to carry out its duties and that all Board members are actively doing so in satisfaction of the interests of shareholders.

The Nomination Committee's unanimous recommendation is that the current members of the Board of Directors be re-elected for the period until the AGM in 2022. The Committee will, however, evaluate making an addition or do one replacement for next year in order to follow best corporate governance practices.

Proposed resolution (votes to be cast separately for each candidate):

The Board of Directors shall consist of

Julien Balkany, chairman Torstein Sanness, deputy chairman Alexandra Herger, member Garrett Soden, member Hilde Ådland, member

All directors are elected for a term ending at the 2022 Annual General Meeting.

4. Remuneration to the Board of Directors

The Committee proposes that remuneration to the Board is paid in USD, rather than in NOK. This is due to the fact that the company's main income and costs are based in USD, and not NOK. In addition, the exchange rates have fluctuated quite considerably, and because several of the directors are not based in Norway.

In addition, the Committee proposes to increase the remuneration. This is because cash remuneration has remained on the same level for years, and is currently lower than was the case in 2012 and 2013. Further, the Company has experienced substantial growth and the Committee believes that the remuneration levels should be increased in order to reflect this and to be competitive with comparable companies. The Committee has made a peer review of 8 other companies. The proposal is further to have a relatively larger increase in nominal terms in the remuneration for the chairman due to his extraordinary time spent on the business.

In addition, the Committee proposes the grant of options to the directors, where the strike is set as the volume weighed average trading price of the Company's shares for the 5 trading days prior to the 2021 Annual General Meeting, and where the options vest over 3 years.

Finally, the Committee proposes a one-time, extra compensation to the chairman of the Board for his substantial contribution throughout 2020 linked to the targeting, commencement and completion of the announced transactions with Tullow Oil. The proposed, extraordinary remuneration is NOK 1,000,000 to be paid upon closing of the transactions.

Proposed resolution:

  • (1) For the period from the 2021 Annual General Meeting and up to the 2022 Annual General Meeting (but no later than 30 June 2022), the directors shall receive the following cash remuneration (based on 12 months service):
    • (a) USD 83,000 for the chairman, USD 50,000 for the deputy chairman and USD 43,000 for each other director.
    • (b) Members of the audit committee receives USD 6,000 each, whereas the chair of the committee receives USD 9,000.
    • (c) Member of the remuneration committee receives USD 6,000 each, whereas the chair of the committee receives USD 9,000.
  • (2) The chairman is granted a number of options which is the product of USD 100,000 (exchanged into NOK by applying Norges Bank's exchange rate as at noon at the date of the 2021 Annual General Meeting) divided by the volume weighed average price of the Company's shares the 5 trading days before the 2021 Annual General Meeting, and each other director is granted a number of options based on USD 50,000 each, using the same calculation. The options shall vest from the 2021 Annual General Meeting with 1/3 at the 2022 Annual General Meeting, 1/3 at the 2023 Annual General Meeting and 1/3 at the 2024 Annual General Meeting. Vested options must be exercised within 5 years. In case of a change of control (as defined in the general terms for the Company's employee RSU program), all options become exercisable. In case a director leaves his or her position (regardless of the reason) prior to all options having vested, a number of options shall be deemed vested based on the whole number of months served as board member since the 2021 Annual General Meeting divided on 36, and all other options shall terminate.
  • (3) The chairman of the Board Julien Balkany is paid a one-time extraordinary remuneration of NOK 1,000,000, which falls due 5 days after the announced transactions with Tullow Oil have been completed.

DECLARATION FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF PANORO ENERGY ASA ON EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION POLICIES

(REF. SECTION 6-16A OF THE NORWEGIAN PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANIES ACT)

PART 1: SALARIES, BONUSES AND OTHER REMUNERATION PRINCIPLES

Panoro Energy ASA has established a compensation program for executive management that reflects the responsibility and duties as management of an international oil and gas company and at the same time contributes to add value for the Company's shareholders. The goal for the Board of Directors has been to establish a level of remuneration that is competitive both in domestic and international terms to ensure that the Group is an attractive employer that can obtain a qualified and experienced workforce. The compensation structure can be summarised as follows:

Compensation
Element
Objective and Rational Form What the Element Rewards
Base Salary A competitive level of compensation is provided
for fulfilling position responsibilities
Cash Knowledge, expertise, experience,
scope of responsibilities and retention
Short-term Incentives To align annual performance with Panoro's
business objectives and shareholder interests.
Short-term incentive pools increase or decrease
based on business performance

as well as aligning interests with the shareholders
through ownership levels comprised of share
options and share based awards
Restricted Share
Units
Sustained performance results, share
price increases and achievement of
specific performance measures based
on quantified factors and metrics

The Remuneration Committee oversees our compensation programs and is charged with the review and approval of the Company's general compensation strategies and objectives and the annual compensation decisions relating to our executives and to the broad base of Company employees. Its responsibilities also include reviewing management succession plans; making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding all employment agreements, severance agreements, change in control agreements and any special supplemental benefits applicable to executives; assuring that the Company's incentive compensation program, including the annual, short term incentives and long- term incentive plans, is administered in a manner consistent with the Company's strategy; approving and/or recommending to the Board of Directors new incentive compensation plans and equity-based compensation plans; reviewing the Company's employee benefit programs; and

recommending for approval all administrative changes to compensation plans that may be subject to the approval of the shareholders or the Board of Directors.

The Remuneration Committee seeks to structure compensation packages and performance goals for compensation in a manner that does not incentivize employees to take risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Remuneration Committee designs long-term incentive compensation, including restricted share units, performance units and share options in such a manner that employees will forfeit their awards if their employment is terminated for cause. The Committee also retains the discretionary authority to reduce bonuses to reflect factors regarding individual performance that are not otherwise taken into account.

Remuneration in 2020:

Remuneration for executive management for 2020 consisted of both fixed and variable elements. The fixed elements consisted of salaries and other benefits (health and pension), while the variable elements consisted of a performance-based bonus arrangement and a restricted share unit scheme that was approved by the Board of Directors and the shareholders in the Annual General Meeting in 2018.

For 2020, the following was paid/incurred to the executives:

Total 743 284 16 26 1,069 428,573 567

Any bonuses that were incurred and paid in 2020 were approved by the Board of Directors during 2020. The bonus paid in 2020 related to the achievement of performance standards set by the Board of Directors for the financial year 2019.

Evaluation, award and payment of cash bonuses is generally performed in the year subsequent to financial year end, unless stated otherwise. Any bonuses for 2020 performance will be awarded in the year 2021 and determined based on the criteria set by the remuneration committee that includes meeting milestones of measurable strategic value drivers, progress on portfolio of assets, and certain corporate objectives including reduction of administrative overhead costs and HSE performance.

Remuneration principles for 2021:

For 2021, remuneration for executive management consists of both fixed and variable elements. The fixed elements consist of salaries and other benefits (health and pension), while the variable elements consist of a performance-based bonus arrangement and a restricted share unit scheme that was approved by the Board of Directors and the Company's shareholders in 2018.

Any cash bonuses to members of the executive management for 2020 will be capped at 50% of annual base salary. The Board at its discretion, may award exceptional bonuses for any value accretive transformational events undertaken by the Company on an isolated basis. Evaluation, award and payment of cash bonuses is generally performed in the year subsequent to the financial year under review. The annual bonus for 2020 performance will be determined and paid in the year 2021, based on the criteria proposed by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. Such criteria may include meeting milestones of measurable strategic value drivers, progress on portfolio of assets, and certain corporate objectives including reduction of administrative overhead costs and HSE performance. These criteria will be individually tailored for each member of the executive team and will be determined by the Board of Directors as soon as is practicable after the reporting period.

Severance payments etc:

Per the respective terms of employment, the CEO is entitled to 12 months of base salary in the event of a change of control; whereby a tender offer is made or consummated for the ownership of more than 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company; or the Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation and as a result of such merger or consolidation less than 50.1% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity or resulting corporation are owned in the aggregate by the persons by the entities or persons who were shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation; or the Company sells substantially

all of its assets to another corporation that is not a wholly owned subsidiary. The CFO is entitled to 6 months of base salary in the event of a change of control as described above.

Pensions:

The Company is required to have an occupational pension scheme in accordance with the Norwegian law on required occupational pension ("Lov om obligatorisk tjenestepensjon"). The Company contributes to an external defined contribution scheme and therefore no pension liability is recognised in the statement of financial position. Since the Company no longer employs any staff in Norway, this scheme is effectively redundant.

In the UK, the Company's subsidiary that employs the staff, contributes a fixed amount per Company policy in an external defined contribution scheme. As such, no pension liability is recognised in the statement of financial position in relation to Company's subsidiaries either.

2020 – Compliance:

In 2020, the executives received base salaries and cash incentive bonuses in line with the executive remuneration policies as presented to the 2020 Annual General Meeting.

PART 2: SHARE BASED INCENTIVES

In June 2020, 719,087 Restricted Share Units were awarded under and in accordance with the Company's RSU scheme to the employees of the Company under the long-term incentive compensation plan approved by the shareholders. One Restricted Share Unit ("RSU") entitles the holder to receive one share of capital stock of the Company against payment in cash of the par value for the share. The par value is currently NOK 0.05 per share. Vesting of the RSUs is time based. The standard vesting period is 3 years, where 1/3 of the RSUs vest after one year, 1/3 vest after 2 years, and the final 1/3 vest after 3 years from grant. The Board of Directors, at its discretion can grant a non-standard vesting period.

RSUs vest automatically at the respective vesting dates and the holder will be issued the applicable number of shares as soon as possible thereafter.

Provided that a renewal of the RSU program is approved by the upcoming Annual General Meeting, for 2021 the Board of Directors will thereafter only award share-based incentives in line with any shareholder approved program, and awards of sharebased incentives will in value (calculated at the time of grant) be capped to 100% of the annual base salary for the CEO and 75% of the annual base salary for other members of the executive management.
