12. AUTHORISATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO INCREASE THE SHARE CAPITAL BY UP TO 10 PER CENT

To ensure that the board of directors has financial flexibility and to enable quick access to the equity capital market, enable the board of directors to issue new shares in the event of an acquisition with shares as settlement, and to issue shares for other purposes, the board of directors proposes that it is granted an authorisation to increase the Company's share capital. The board of directors proposes that it is granted an authorisation to increase the share capital by up to 10% of the Company's current share capital. To exercise the authorisation in the best possible commercial manner, it may be relevant in certain situations to make a private placement of shares directed at certain named persons and/or enterprises. It may also be appropriate to use the authorisation in the event of acquisition of business undertakings, assets or rights with shares as settlement. It is therefore also proposed that the board of directors is authorised to deviate from the shareholders' preferential right when using the authorisation.

The board of directors therefore propose that the general meeting adopts the following resolution:

«The general meeting grants the board of directors the following authorisation:

• 1) Pursuant to section 10-14 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the board of directors is granted an authorisation to increase the company's share capital with an amount up to NOK 319,720,689 – corresponding to 10 per cent of the current share capital.
• 2) The authorisation is valid until the company's annual general meeting in 2026, but no longer than to and including 30 June 2026.
• 3) The shareholders' preferential right to the new shares pursuant to section 10-4 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, may be deviated from.
• 4) The authorisation covers share capital increases against contribution in kind, cf. section 10-2 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act.
• 5) The authorisation covers share capital increase in connection with mergers pursuant to section 13-5 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act."

13. AUTHORISATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO ACQUIRE TREASURY SHARES

In order to allow the board of directors to utilise the mechanisms permitted by the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act to acquire treasury shares, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting grants the board of directors an authorisation to acquire shares in the Company, with a nominal value of up to NOK 319,720,689, equal to 10% of the current share capital. The board of directors proposes that the authorisation can be used to acquire shares that may be used to fulfil the Company's obligations in connection with acquisitions, incentive arrangements for employees, fulfilment of earn-out arrangements, sale of shares to strengthen the Company's equity or deletion of shares.

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting adopts the following resolution:

«The general meeting grants the board of directors the following authorisation:

• 1) Pursuant to section 9-4 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the board of directors is granted an authorisation to acquire own shares with a total nominal value of up to NOK 319,720,689, corresponding to 10 per cent of the current share capital.
• 2) The maximum amount to be paid for each share is NOK 150 and the minimum amount is NOK 1.
• 3) Acquisition and sale of own shares may take place in any way the board of directors finds appropriate, provided, however, that acquisition of shares shall not take place by way of subscription.
