Private proposal from shareholder Terje N. Christiansen to dissolve the company and distribute net assets to shareholders. This proposal is based on disappointing share price performance, lack of investment activity and high cost levels for the shareholders.
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting adopts the following resolution: "It is resolved that the company is not to be dissolved".
It is proposed that PricewaterhouseCoopers AS' fee for audit for Treasure ASA for the financial year 2017 of NOK 154,000 (ex VAT) is approved.
The nomination committee proposes following remuneration to the members of the board of directors for the period from the annual general meeting in 2018 the annual general meeting in 2019:
The nomination committee proposes following remuneration to the members of the nomination committee for the period from the annual general meeting in 2018 to the annual general meeting in 2019:
"The chairman of the nomination committee: NOK 35,000 The other members: NOK 25,000"
Board members Thomas Wilhelmsen, Christian Berg, Marianne Lie and Bente Brevik are up for election. Bente Brevik is not running for re-election. The nomination committee proposes Benedicte Bakke Agerup as new board member, to replace Bente Brevik. The nomination committee proposes that Thomas Wilhelmsen, Christian Berg and Marianne Lie are re-elected as board members.
Further, the nomination committee proposes that Thomas Wilhelmsen and Marianne Lie are elected for a period of three years and Benedicte Bakke Agerup and Christian Berg for a period of two years, respectively. The rationale behind this is to avoid that all board members are simultaneously up for election in the future.
Nomination committee members Wilhelm Wilhelmsen, Jan Gunnar Hartvig and Gunnar Fredrik Selvaag are up for election. The nomination committee recommends re-election of all three members of the committee for a period of two years.
With regard to rights of attendance and voting we refer you to The Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act, in particular Chapter 5. A written power of attorney dated and signed by the beneficial owner giving such proxy must be presented at the meeting.
It is proposed that the board of directors be granted an authorization to acquire shares in the company with a nominal value of up to NOK 2,200,000, equivalent to 10% of the current share capital.
The rationale behind the proposal is that it increases the flexibility of the capital structure to the company's needs, as the industrial and investment environment change.
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting adopts the following resolution:
In pursuit of the company's goals, the board of directors continuously monitors and evaluates investment opportunities for further development of the company's business and asset base. Addressing the need for flexibility related to a potential future settlement, the board of directors proposes to be provided with an authorization from the annual general meeting to increase share capital by issuing new shares against cash or non-cash considerations (e.g. assets).
Proposal for authorization of capital increase:
general meeting in 2019, but no longer than 30 June 2019."
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting adopts the following resolution:
"In accordance with 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 10% of the current share capital.
