Valg av nytt styre skal være på agendaen for ordinær generalforsamling i 2026.
Based on the proposal by the nomination committee, included as Appendix A, it is proposed that the general meeting approves the following board remuneration for services from the annual general meeting in 2025 to the annual general meeting in 2026:
"Godtgjørelse til styret "Remuneration for the Board of Directors
Godtgjørelse til revisjonskomiteen Remuneration for the Audit Committee Leder: NOK 50.000 Chairperson: NOK 50,000
Godtgjørelse til valgkomiteen Remuneration for the Nomination Committee Leder: NOK 70.000 Chairperson: NOK 70,000
In accordance with the recommendation from the nomination committee it is proposed that the following Board of Directors is elected:
Styrets forslag til vedtak: The Board's proposal for resolution:
"Nina Skage is re-elected as chairperson, Torstein Sanness and Ketil Skorstad are re-elected as board members, and Karl Sivert Skatland is re-elected as deputy board member. The Board thus consists of the following persons:
The election of a new board shall be on the agenda for the annual general meeting to be held in 2026.
I tråd med valgkomiteens innstilling foreslås det at valgkomitéen i Selskapet gjenvelges for perioden frem til ordinær generalforsamling i 2027:
Medlemmene er valgt for perioden frem til ordinær generalforsamling i 2027."
Styret er av den oppfatning at Selskapet bør være i stand til å reagere raskt på muligheter i markedet, og det kan betinge mulighet til å utstede nye aksjer på kort frist. Styret foreslår derfor at generalforsamlingen godkjenner en fullmakt til å utstede nye aksjer på opptil 20% av aksjekapitalen på tidspunktet for den ordinære generalforsamlingen. Fullmakten tilsvarer, og vil erstatte, fullmakten til å utstede nye aksjer gitt av ordinær generalforsamling den 23. mai 2024 (som utløper på tidspunktet for generalforsamlingen i 2025). For å kunne oppnå formålet med fullmakten, foreslår styret videre at eksisterende aksjonærers fortrinnsrett kan fravikes.
Styret foreslår at generalforsamlingen fatter følgende vedtak:
In accordance with the recommendation from the nomination committee it is proposed that the nomination committee is re-elected for a period until the general meeting in 2027:
Styrets forslag til vedtak: The Board's proposal for resolution:
"Valgkomiteen består av følgende personer: "The nomination committee consists of the following persons:
The members are elected for the period until the annual general meeting in 2027."
The board is of the view that the Company should be capable of reacting quickly to opportunities in the market, which may require the issuance of new shares on short notice. The board thus proposes that the general meeting approves an authorization to issue new shares of up to 20% of the share capital as of the date of the general meeting. The authorization corresponds to, and will replace, the authorization to issue new shares granted by the annual general meeting held on 23 May 2024 (which expires at the date of the annual general meeting in 2025). In order to achieve the purpose of the authorization, the board proposes that existing shareholders' pre-emptive rights to subscribe for new shares may be set aside.
The board proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolution:
Selskapets generalforsamling besluttet den 23. mai 2024 å gi Selskapets styre en fullmakt til å erverve Selskapets egne aksjer med en samlet pålydende verdi på inntil NOK 23.976.011,70, med en varighet til den ordinære generalforsamlingen for 2025. Styret anser det som hensiktsmessig at styret fortsetter å ha en fullmakt til å erverve Selskapets egne aksjer, og foreslår derfor at fullmakten fornyes.
Bakgrunnen for at det bes om en slik fullmakter at styret fortsatt skal ha muligheten til å benytte seg av de mekanismer som allmennaksjeloven gir anledning til når det gjelder distribusjon av kapital til Selskapets aksjeeiere.
Styret foreslår at generalforsamlingen fatter følgende vedtak:
1. "Styret gis fullmakt til å erverve Selskapets aksjer i Selskapets navn med en samlet pålydende på inntil NOK 23 469 096,70, tilsvarende ca. 10% av Selskapets aksjekapital på dato for generalforsamlingen.
The Company's general meeting resolved on 23 May 2024 to grant the Company's board an authorisation to acquire the Company's own shares with an aggregate nominal value of up to NOK 23,976.011,70, for a period until the annual general meeting for 2025. The board considers it beneficial that the board continues to have an authorization to acquire treasury shares, and therefore proposes that the authorization is renewed.
The basis for the proposed authorization is to provide the board the option to utilize the mechanisms pursuant to the Public Limited Liability Companies Act as regards distribution of capital to the Company's shareholders.
The board proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolution:
1. "The board is authorized to acquire treasury shares with an aggregate par value of up to NOK 23,469,096.70, equivalent to approximately 10% of the Company's share capital as at the date of the general meeting.
