Item 3 Presentation of the Company's state of affairs
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting make the following resolution:
"The Annual Report and the Financial Statements for 2024 are approved."
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting make the following resolution:
"The auditor's remuneration will be paid according to received invoice."
For information on other fees paid to the Company's auditor, reference is made to note 2.6 to the annual accounts, on page 55 in the Company's annual report for 2024.
The Nomination Committee's proposal for a resolution on remuneration to the board members is based on an overall assessment of the nature and extent of the board of directors' work. In this connection, the Nomination Committee has consulted with the Company's management and some of the larger shareholders of the Company.
The Nomination Committee proposes that the general meeting make the following resolution:
"The remuneration for the period from the annual general meeting 2025 to the annual general meeting 2026 shall be USD 46,000 for board members not associated with the Company's shareholders. Board members may elect to have the remuneration paid in the NOK or EUR equivalent, calculated based on the exchange rate published by the Norwegian central bank at the date of the general meeting."
The election term for all board members expires at the annual general meeting 2025 and the general meeting shall therefore elect a new board.

The Nomination Committee proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolution:
"The following persons are elected to the Board of Directors:
Andersen, Berdal and Ashary are elected with an election term until the ordinary general meeting in 2026, while Hegazy, Weber and Clement are elected with an election term until the ordinary general meeting in 2027."
The Nomination Committee proposes that the general meeting make the following resolution:
"The remuneration for the members of the Nomination Committee for the period from the annual general meeting 2025 to the annual general meeting 2026 shall be NOK 25,000."
The Company's board of directors believes it will be expedient to have a mandate to issue new shares. The board of directors has proposed that the general meeting grants such a mandate on the terms set out below.
The purpose of the mandate is to give the board of directors the necessary flexibility and opportunity to act promptly. The mandate is limited to being used to strengthen the Company's equity, issuance of shares as consideration to consultants and independent directors, and to issue shares to be used as consideration in connection with the acquisition of businesses within the Company's business purpose.
The board of directors to proposes to align the authorisation with the flexibility provided under applicable Norwegian requirements for prospectuses in relation to offering of shares, and that the size of the board of directors' authorisation shall correspond to 20% of the Company's share capital.
In consideration of the purpose of the authorisation, the pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders to subscribe to new shares may be waived.
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting make the following resolution:
"In accordance with the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act section 10-14, the board of directors is authorised to increase the share capital, on the following terms:

To facilitate a practical and efficient execution of the Company's Long Term Incentive Program and other incentive schemes, the Company's board of directors proposes that the general meeting grants the board the authority to issue additional shares. The incentive programs are described in the Company's annual report.
The board proposes that the general meeting make the following resolution:
"In accordance with the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act section 10-14, the board of directors is authorised to increase the share capital, on the following terms:
The Company's board of directors is of the opinion that it is expedient to have an authorisation to acquire own shares, including to enter into agreements on charges in own shares. The board of directors proposes that the general meeting grants such authorisation on the terms set out below.
The authorisation would give the board of directors the opportunity to take advantage of the financial instruments and mechanisms provided by the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act. Buy-back of the Company's shares, with subsequent cancellation, may be an important aid for optimising the Company's capital structure. In addition, such authorisation will also enable the Company, following any acquisition of
own shares, to use own shares as part of incentive schemes, and in full or in part, as consideration with regards to acquisition of businesses.
The board of directors' proposal entails that the general meeting gives the board of directors an authorisation to acquire shares in the Company, with a total nominal value corresponding to 10% of the Company's share capital. Shares acquired by the Company can be used in a later reduction of the share capital with the general meeting's approval, remuneration to the members of the board, for incentive schemes or as consideration with regards to acquisition of businesses.
The board proposes that the general meeting make the following resolutions:
"In accordance with the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act sections 9-4 and 9-5, the board of directors is authorised to acquire the Company's own shares, on the following conditions:
The Company has entered into a term sheet regarding a loan facility agreement with Claret Capital Partners Ltd ("Claret") for an amount of USD 10,000,000 (the "Loan Facility") for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the term sheet, Claret shall receive two warrants to purchase shares in the Company having a total value of USD 1,200,000. The price per share payable for any shares issued upon exercise of the warrants will be the market price at the time of (i) for the first warrant, execution of the definitive agreement for the Loan Facility and (ii) for the second warrant, the first drawdown under the second tranche of the Loan Facility, both, with customary adjustment for subsequent equity issues by the Company as further set out in the proposed resolution below. As such, any exercise of warrants will contribute to strengthening the Company's liquidity at market price.
The Loan Facility will carry interest at the time of drawdown for each tranche at the greater of (i) 11.00% or (ii) the one-year EURIBOR rate as quoted in the European Money Markets Institute (EMMI) five business days prior to drawdown plus 7.50%. Claret will be granted security over assets of Norsk Titanium AS and pledges in Norsk Titanium Inc, and the terms of the Loan Facility will set out other customary provisions for such facility.
The Loan Facility will be available in two equal tranches of USD 5,000,000 each. The first tranche will be available after closing of definite agreements and the second tranche will be available through 30 June 2026 subject to certain terms and conditions. The grant of warrants will align with the tranches of the Loan Facility, where the first warrant shall be granted on closing of the facility and the second warrant shall be granted subject to drawdown of the second tranche.
The warrants shall have a max dilution cap on the shareholding of the Company of 3.00%.

The issue of warrants requires the approval of the general meeting. In consideration of the grant, the board of directors proposes that two warrants are approved by the general meeting, that pursuant to its terms as set out in the proposed resolutions below may only be exercised upon a definite agreement and draw down. The warrants will have an expiry no more than five years after the approval by the general meeting.
In order to accommodate the purpose of the warrants, the board of directors proposes that the shareholders' pre-emptive rights to subscribe for warrants pursuant to the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act section 11-13 are set aside, cf. section 10-5.
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolution:
"The Company shall issue two warrants pursuant to the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act section 11-12, on the following terms:
