This policy governs the framework for the remuneration of executives in the Odfjell Drilling Ltd group in accordance with section 6-16a of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act.
The objective of the policy is to ensure remuneration packages for executives are aligned with the company's values, business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability, in order to create value for shareholders. Executive remuneration should be set at a competitive level to attract, retain and motivate suitably qualified and experienced executives of a calibre who will deliver on the company's strategic objectives. As well as enhancing the company's future economic situation, the remuneration policy should also ensure environmental, sustainability and governance objectives are delivered.
General employee remuneration structures are taken into account when determining executive remuneration, along with consideration of responsibilities and leadership requirements of executive management and market conditions.
In addition to fixed elements of executive remuneration, variable elements are also included which reflect performance of both the company and the executive. This links the achievement of strategic goals and long-term creation of shareholder value to the remuneration package.
In measuring performance, as well as financial results, assessment is made against the Odfjell Drilling values:
The Executive Remuneration Policy will be submitted to a General Meeting of the Company for approval at least every 4 years, or sooner if there is a material change to the policy.
The Board of Directors of the Company ("the Board") will review and agree annually the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the assessment of the CEO's

performance in relation to the determination of bonus payments. The targets for financial performance are established through the budgeting process and are approved by the Board.
In addition, the Board approve the proposal from the CEO of the bonus payments payable to the executive management team each year.
The CEO, in conjunction with the SVP HR, reviews performance to determine bonus payments for the CFO, senior management team. These proposals are then presented to the Board for approval.
The review process is structured to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest and will consider feedback from the votes and views of shareholders on the policy.
Fixed standard fees for Director's services are set in the Director's appointment contracts, as updated from time to time, with further payments being made for additional roles such as chairperson, committee membership or directorship of subsidiaries. They are reflective of the time commitment required by the Directors. Other than reimbursement of expenses incurred in fulfilling their duties and share options as described below, there are no other elements of remuneration.
Components of executive remuneration are:
Set at a competitive rate reflecting the responsibilities of the role, the skills and experience of the individual and market conditions for the industry. Salaries are subject to annual reviews and increases for the CEO are approved by the Board with increases for the senior management team approved by the CEO.
The criteria and measurement for bonus payments are aligned to both company performance against targets and an individual's personal performance.
Criteria for performance:
Achieve financial, strategic and other targets described in each individual's annual Personal Business Commitments ("PBC") approved by the CEO.
Criteria for personal performance in PBCs are based on the following criteria, all of which are considered vital in relation to reaching the overall objective as stated in page 1 of this policy:

One year variable bonus payments are capped at 100% of fixed annual salary and individuals need to be in Odfjell Drilling employment at time of payment. Consideration is given to pro-rating bonuses for joiners and there are no reclaim provisions.
The Board have the ability to approve extraordinary long-term bonuses to key executives.
In line with rates set across the manager population of the organisation.
Executive management participate in the same pension plan, on the same terms as all other employees in the jurisdiction they are employed in.
These include items such as private medical healthcare, life and income protection insurance etc and are in line with the benefit packages offered to the general employee population in the jurisdiction they are employed in.
The company provides a long-term incentive share option programme to the CEO, CFO and certain key positions, including certain Directors, taking into account performance. The programme grants the option to subscribe for common shares in the Company at a certain agreed strike price. The options can only be exercised in five tranches, with vesting periods of one, two,three, four and five years, or in the case of Directos, three tranches of one, two and three years,conditional on them continuing in their Director role. The Company may at its own discretion choose to settle all, or parts, of the Option, by providing the Option Holder with either shares, a cash payment equivalent to the value of the Shares, or a combination of the two.
This programme links directly to the creation of value for shareholders through increased share price and is an attractive incentive for the employee or Director to develop the company according to agreed targets and strategies.
The members of the Board are elected in accordance with the Company's bye-laws and for a term as the shareholders may determine or in the absence of such a determination

until the annual general meeting held in the second year after the appointment of such directors.
Executive management are employed on long-term contracts with no fixed duration and are subject to a mutual six months' notice period for termination (which may be paid in lieu of working notice). The CEO is also entitled to 12 month's severance pay and other than that there are no enhanced termination payment provisions except for any payments required to be paid in accordance with local laws and regulations.
Deviations from this policy are permitted, if approved by the Board, where this is required due to special circumstances and to serve the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole or to assure its viability.
