Proposed adoption to item 3 on the agenda:

Proposed authorisation for the Board to increase the share capital for redemption of options

A new option programme for all employees of AF Gruppen and subsidiaries was adopted at the Annual General Meeting held on 12 May 2017. In order to issue shares in connection with the redemption of options in Q1 2020, the Board proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting adopts the following:

The Board is authorised to increase the share capital by issuing new shares.

The share capital may be increased by up to NOK 125,000, divided into a maximum of 2,500,000 shares, each with a face value of NOK 0.05.

The statement of the share capital and number of shares in Article 4 of the Articles of Association shall be changed correspondingly.

The authority may only be used to issue shares to employees of the group by the redemption of options.

The Board may decide to deviate from the shareholders' pre-emptive right to subscribe for shares under section 10-4 of the Public Limited Companies Act.

This authorisation is valid until the 2020 Annual General Meeting, but not later than 30 June 2020.

PROXY FORM

As owner of ____ shares in AF Gruppen ASA I/we hereby grant
Board Chairman
______ (insert name)

authority to represent and vote for my/our shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting of AF Gruppen ASA on 2 April 2020.

If none of the options above are checked, authorisation will be deemed to have been given to the Board Chairman. If authorisation is given to the Board Chairman, the Board Chairman may authorise another member of the board or management to represent and vote for the shares the authorisation comprises.

If the shareholder so wishes and the Board Chairman has been appointed proxy, the voting instructions below may be completed and submitted to the company. Votes for the shares will then be cast in accordance with the instructions.

Voting instructions:

Resolution Votes
for
Votes
against
Abstain from
voting
Approval of the notice and agenda
Authorisation for the Board to increase the
share capital for redemption of options

If voting instructions are provided, the following applies:

  • If "Votes for" is checked, this implies an instruction to the proxy to vote for the proposal in the notice, including those changes the Board, the Board Chairman or the chairman of the general meeting may propose. In the event of changes with regard to the proposals set forth in the notice, the proxy may at his sole discretion abstain from voting for the shares.
  • If "Votes against" is checked, this implies an instruction to the proxy to vote against the proposal in the notice, including those changes the Board, the Board Chairman or the chairman of the general meeting may propose. In the event of changes with regard to the proposals set forth in the notice, the proxy may at his sole discretion abstain from voting for the shares.
  • If "Abstain from voting" is checked, this implies an instruction to the proxy to not vote for the shares.
  • If no option is checked, this implies that the proxy is free to decide how to cast votes for the shares.
  • In the event of elections the instructions are limited to voting to elect the candidates specified in the proxy form.
  • When voting on matters that are not set forth in the notice but which legally are brought up for resolution at the general meeting, the proxy is free to decide how to vote for the shares. The same applies to votes on formal matters, e.g. selection of meeting chairman, voting order or voting procedure.
  • If the shareholder has appointed another proxy than the Board Chairman and wishes to provide the person in question with instructions on voting, this is a matter between the shareholder and proxy that is of no concern to the company. In this case the company assumes no responsibility to check whether the proxy votes in accordance with the instructions.
