Entra ASA will hold its Annual General Meeting on Friday, 23 April 2021 at 10:00 (CET). This notice is also available at the company's website www.entra.no. ________________________________________________________________________
Due to the corona pandemic and prevailing restrictions in the municipality of Oslo, the Board of Directors has resolved that the Annual General Meeting for 2021 will be held as a digital meeting only in accordance with section 2-3 of the temporary act on exemptions from the requirements to hold physical meetings in the company legislation to mitigate consequences of the Covid-19 outbreak. Shareholders must therefore cast their votes in advance of the General Meeting or grant the Chair of the Board a proxy, with or without voting instructions. The Company will arrange for shareholders to attend and ask questions at the General Meeting via video. For further details, please refer to the last page of this notice.
The general meeting has the following
________________________________________________________________________
Reference is made to the 2020 Annual Report, including the annual accounts, the Board of Directors' report and the auditor's statement, which is available at the company's website, https://www.entra.no/investor-relations/article/reports-and-presentations/38.
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to distribute a dividend in the amount of NOK 2.50 per share for the second half of 2020. This dividend comes in addition to the dividend of NOK 2.40 per share as resolved by the Board on 9 July 2020 and distributed on 12 October 2020 pursuant to the board authorisation granted by the annual general meeting in 2020, cf. item 6 of the minutes of the general meeting available at https://www.entra.no/investor-relations/article/general-meeting/53. Accordingly, the total dividend amount for 2020 will be NOK 4.90 per share.
The dividend of NOK 2.50 per share is proposed paid to the company's shareholders as of 23 April 2021 (as registered in the VPS on 27 April 2021), and the shares will trade exclusive the right to receive dividend from and including 26 April 2021. Subject to the approval by the general meeting, the payment date of the dividend is expected to be on or about 4 May 2021.
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves as follows:
The general meeting approves the annual accounts and the Board of Directors' annual report for Entra ASA for the financial year 2020.

The general meeting approves the distribution of a dividend in the amount of NOK 2.50 per share for the second half of 2020. The dividend will be paid on or about 4 May 2021 to the company's shareholders as of 23 April 2021 (as registered in the VPS on 27 April 2021). The shares will trade exclusive the right to receive dividend from and including 26 April 2021.
The board authorisation to distribute semi-annual dividend based on the approved annual accounts for 2019 expires at the annual general meeting in 2021. In order to continue the practice relating to payment of dividend on a semi-annual basis, the Board proposes that the general meeting authorises the Board to resolve distributions of dividends based on the company's annual accounts for 2020.
The grounds for the proposal is that the company's cash flow is highly stable and has a high degree of predictability. The Board of Directors considers that this should be demonstrated through the company's dividend policy by the Entra share being positioned as a stable dividend share, combined with growth in profits, underlying values and dividend capacity.
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves as follows:
Reference is made to the report on corporate governance adopted by the Board of Directors on 3 March 2021, which is included on page 68 et seq. in the 2020 Annual Report.
Pursuant to section 5-6 (5) of the Companies Act, the general meeting shall consider the report on corporate governance in accordance with section 3-3b of the Norwegian Accounting Act. The report is not subject to vote.
Reference is made to the Board's proposed guidelines on salaries and other remuneration to senior personnel, including Board Members, prepared in accordance with the new provisions of section 6-16 a of the Companies Act. The proposed guidelines are available on https://www.entra.no/investor-relations/article/general-meeting/53.
The guidelines have been adjusted in line with the new provisions and are somewhat expanded compared to the statement included in the 2020 Annual Report.
The guidelines are in accordance with section 5-6 (3) of the Companies Act subject to the approval by the General Meeting.
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves as follows:

The general meeting approves the Board of Directors' guidelines on determination of salaries and other remuneration to senior personnel in accordance with § 6-16 a of the Companies Act.
The board authorisation to acquire shares in Entra ASA as granted by the annual general meeting in 2020 expires at the annual general meeting in 2021. Thus, the Board proposes that the general meeting grants the Board a new authorisation to acquire shares in the company with an aggregated par value of up to approximately 5% of the share capital. The maximum purchase price is proposed set to up to NOK 2,731,980,900.
The buy-back of the company's own shares will benefit shareholders as the remaining shares will hold a higher share of ownership in the company. The grounds for the proposal of the new authorisation is to enable the Board of Directors the possibility to utilise the mechanisms pursuant to the Companies Act as regards distribution of capital to the company's shareholders.
Any acquisition of the company's own shares is conditional on such shares being cancelled by a subsequent share capital decrease to be resolved by a new general meeting.
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves as follows:
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting authorises the Board to acquire up to 500,000 shares in Entra ASA on behalf of the company with an aggregated par value of up to NOK 500,000, equivalent to approximately 0.27% of the share capital, for a maximum purchase price of up to NOK 150,000,000.
The purpose of the share buy-back is to make use of treasury shares in connection with the company's share scheme for all employees in the Entra group as well as the Long-Term Incentive Scheme for members of the senior management of the Entra group ("LTI Scheme"). The LTI Scheme is described in the proposed guidelines on remuneration to senior personnel, cf. item 8 above.
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves as follows:
1. The general meeting authorises the Board to acquire up to 500,000 shares in Entra ASA on behalf of the company with an aggregated par value of up to

NOK 500,000, equivalent to approximately 0.27% of the company's share capital, for a maximum purchase price of up to NOK 150,000,000.
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting authorises the Board to increase the company's share capital by issuance of new shares with an amount equivalent to 10% of the share capital. The authorisation may be used to strengthen the company's equity and to cover capital need in connection with business opportunities.
With respect to the subscription of the new shares, there are no circumstances besides those that generally are involved when investing in listed shares that should be taken into account. Furthermore, the proposal involves that the shareholders' preferential rights to subscribe for shares pursuant to section 10-4 of the Companies Act may be set aside, cf. section 10-5. The Board however considers it to be in the best interest of the company and its shareholders that the Board is given the necessary flexibility to increase the share capital for the purposes set out above.
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves as follows:
The Board of Directors proposes that the remuneration to the company's auditor of NOK 1,389,000 ex. VAT for 2020, is approved.

With respect to item 13 to 16 above, reference is made to the recommendations by the Nomination Committee which is available at the company's website https://www.entra.no/investor-relations/article/general-meeting/53.
Entra ASA is a public limited liability company governed by the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act. As of the date of this notice, there are 182,132,055 issued shares in Entra ASA, each with a par value of NOK 1. Each share carries one vote.
