Resolution on instructions for a Nomination Committee (item 16)

The Company's Nomination Committee, jointly representing approximately 40

percent of the shares and votes of the Company, has informed the Board of

Directors that it intends to propose to the general meeting to resolve on

instructions for a Nomination Committee, mainly in accordance with the

following:

The chair of the Board of Directors shall be responsible for contacting the two

largest registered shareholders of the Company as per the end of the third

quarter 2015 (i.e. September 30) and to ask each of them to appoint one member

of the Nomination Committee. If such shareholder is not willing to appoint a

member, or if such shareholder is intending to sell a significant part of his or

her shares prior to the formation of the Nomination Committee, the next

shareholder in relation to the size of the shareholding will be approached. The

members appointed in accordance with this principle, together with the chair of

the Board of Directors, who will convene the committee, is the Nomination

Committee. The Nomination Committee will appoint one of the members as chair of

the committee.

The names of the members of the Nomination Committee shall be disclosed well in

advance of the Annual General Meeting.

The Nomination Committee shall follow and carry out the duties prescribed in the

Swedish Corporate Governance Code. The Nomination Committee shall prepare

proposals to be presented at the Annual General Meeting regarding resolutions on

chair of the Annual General Meeting, number of Board Directors, remuneration and

other compensation to Board Directors, remuneration to the auditors as well as

the appointment of and instructions for a Nomination Committee.

If any of the shareholders who have appointed a member of the Nomination

Committee sells a significant part of his or her shares in the Company before

the conclusion of the work of the Nomination Committee, the member who is

appointed by this particular shareholder should leave the committee, provided

this is the decision by the Nomination Committee, and be replaced by a member

appointed by the largest registered shareholder of the Company at this point,

not having a representative on this Committee. If any of the members of the

Nomination Committee, before conclusion of the work of the Nomination Committee,

stops representing the shareholder who has appointed this particular member, the

member in question shall be replaced by a new member appointed by the

shareholder in question, provided this is the decision by the Nomination

Committee. If any material changes occur in the registered shareholding before

the conclusion of the Committee's work, a change in the composition of

Nomination Committee shall be done according to the principles set out above,

provided this is the decision by the Nomination Committee.

The term of office of the Nomination Committee appointed in this way shall end

when a new Nomination Committee has been appointed.

No remuneration shall be paid for the work carried out by the members of the

Nomination Committee. However, the Company shall reimburse reasonable external

expenses that the Nomination Committee considers essential to be able to carry

out its duties.

These instructions will apply until when and if they are replaced.

Resolution on guidelines for remuneration to the Managing Director and other

senior executives (item 17)

The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on the

following guidelines for salary and other remuneration to senior executives for

the period until the Annual General Meeting of 2016 mainly in accordance with

the following.

General

The Company shall have the levels of remuneration and employment terms necessary

to recruit and retain management of high competence and capacity to be able to

achieve Company goals at a suitable cost. The guiding principle in setting

salary and other remuneration for senior executives in the Company shall be

market conditions, adjusted to the Company's costs.

Fixed salary

The basic remuneration to senior executives is a fixed salary based on market

conditions, which is determined on an individual basis according to the criteria

above, and the special skills of the person in question.

Retirement benefits

Retirement benefits for senior executives shall be based on market conditions

for equivalent positions at the market and determined on an individual basis

adjusted according to the special skills of the person. The retirement benefits

shall be defined by cost.

Non-monetary benefits

Non-monetary benefits to the senior executives (e.g. cell phone and computer)

shall assist them in their work performance, and shall correspond to what is

reasonable in relation to customary benefits in the market.

Termination compensation and severance pay

Termination compensation and severance pay shall in no case in total exceed

twelve months' salary.

Non-fixed salary

Non-fixed salary arrangements shall be available, in addition to fixed-salary

arrangements, in certain situations. This type of compensation shall be clearly

related to specific set goals, based on simple and transparent constructions.

The non-fixed salary part shall be linked to the respective employee's main area

of responsibility and mainly consist of one or more financial and/or operational

parameters. The maximum non-fixed salary will be no more than 50 percent of the

fixed salary paid out to the employee in question during the period covered by

the non-fixed salary.

In those cases where a non-fixed salary is agreed for senior executives, the

salary shall be determined based on (a) the achievement of previously

established goals on a group- and individual level which are related to

management- and performance, as well as the financial position of the Company,

and (b) taking into consideration the individual's personal development.

All share-related incentive programs shall be decided upon by the general

meeting.

The Board of Directors shall have the right to make exceptions from these

guidelines in individual cases where there are special reasons to do so.

Resolution on authorization to issue shares and certain other financial

instruments (item 18)

The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to authorize

the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions before the Annual General

Meeting of 2016, resolve on issues of shares, warrants and/or convertible

instruments, mainly in accordance with the following.

a)     Issues may be carried out with or without considering the shareholders'

preferential rights.

b)     The total number of shares which can be issued through resolutions under

the authorization  shall not exceed 90,809,360 shares through share issues, the

exercise of warrants and/or conversion of convertible instruments (this does,

however, not prevent warrants and convertible instruments from being combined

with terms and conditions for recalculation which, if applied, may result in

another number of shares), corresponding to approximately 50 percent of the

number of shares and votes in the Company after such completed issue, based on

the number of shares and votes in the Company as at the date of this notice.

c)     Issues carried out without the shareholders' preferential rights with

cash payment or payment by set-off of claims, may only take place at a price in

line with the market price of the Company's share with a deduction for such

market-related discount deemed required by the Board of Directors for

successfully carrying out the issue. In case of a rights issue, the Board of

Directors decides on the pricing.

d)     The authorization shall include a right to resolve on issues with cash

payment, payment by set-off of claims or payment with non-cash consideration,

and in combination with such conditions referred to in Chapter 2, section 5

second paragraph, points 2-3 and 5 of the Swedish Companies Act.

The reason for the Board of Directors' proposal as well as the possibility to

disregard the shareholders' preferential rights is that the Company must be

prepared to without delay improve its financial position and strengthen the

shareholder value by way of opportunities that may arise.

Resolution to change the Articles of Association (item 19)

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting to amend the

articles of association of the Company. The proposal implies a broadening of the

company's business as described in § 3 of the articles of association meaning

that also other business opportunities than exploration and production of

minerals will be feasible. This is important for the shareholder value of the

Company.

The Board of Directors also proposes to the Annual General Meeting to decide on

a change of § 8 of the articles of association, which relates to the convening

of shareholders' meetings. The fact that a notice has been given is presently

advertised in the Swedish newspaper "Dagens Industri". In order to save costs

the Board of Directors proposes to instead advertise in the Swedish newspaper

"Svenska Dagbladet".

The existing and new proposed wordings of § 3 of the articles of association are

as follows:

Existing wording:

3. Company business

The Company shall solely, through subsidiaries or through cooperation with

others, engage in mining and mineral prospecting business as well as own and

administrate real and personal property, as well as conduct other activities

compatible therewith.

Proposed new wording:

3. Company business

The company shall, solely and/ or through subsidiaries or through cooperation

with others, conduct investment business, own and administrate real and personal

property, as well as conduct other activities compatible therewith.

The full and complete new proposed articles of association of Nickel Mountain

Group AB can be studied in a separate attachment available on the website

www.nickelmountain.se along with all other documents topical at the coming

Annual General Meeting.

The existing and new proposed wordings of § 8 of the articles of association are

as follows:

Existing wording:

8. Notice of shareholders' meetings

Notice of shareholders' meetings shall be announced in Post och Inrikes

Tidningar and on the company's homepage. It shall be announced in Dagens

Industri that notice of shareholders' meeting has been given.

Proposed new wording:

8. Notice of shareholders' meetings

Notice of shareholders' meetings shall be announced in Post och Inrikes

Tidningar and on the company's homepage. It shall be announced in Svenska

Dagbladet that notice of shareholders' meeting has been given.

Resolution to change the name of the Company (item 20)

In view of the resolution proposed under item 19 regarding a broadening of the

business activities of the Company, it seems adequate to also propose a name

change of the parent company. The nickel project is owned at subsidiary level,

and at that level the license holding company will also in the future keep the

name "Nickel Mountain AB". The Board of Directors therefore proposes that the

new name of the Company be "New Mountain Group AB" or in shorter form "NMG". In

such way the ticker name "NMG" of the Company's share traded on the Oslo Stock

Exchange needs not to change.

Resolutions according to items 18, 19 and 20 above demand support by at least

2/3 of the capital and votes present at the Annual General Meeting in order to

be valid.

____________________________

Shareholders' right to request information

Upon request by any shareholder and where the Board of Directors believes that

such may take place without significant harm to the Company, the Board of

Directors and the Managing Director should provide information at the Annual

General Meeting in respect of any circumstances which may affect the assessment

of a matter on the agenda, and any circumstances which may affect the assessment

of the Company's or a subsidiary's financial position and as regards the

Company's relationship to other group companies. The obligation to provide

information relates also to the consolidated accounts.

Documents

Accounting documents and the auditor's report as well as the complete proposals

will be available at office of the Company and on the Company's website

www.nickelmountain.se no later than three weeks before the meeting including the

day of the meeting. Copies of accounting documents and the auditor's report as

well as the proposals will be sent free of charge to those shareholders who so

request and state their postal address.

Shares and votes

As per the day of this notice, the total number of shares and votes in the

Company is 90,809,360.
