Vederlaget Selskapet skal betale til Selgeren under Aksjekjøpsavtalen vil oppfylles ved:
- (i) et kontantbeløp stort £1; og
- (ii) oppgjør av aksjonærlån utstedt av Målselskapet til enkelte fond forvaltet av Bridgepoint Advisers II Limited (Investorene), hvor deler av oppgjøret skal anvendes av Investorene til å overta 2.000.000 frittstående tegningsretter (som definert i allmennaksjeloven § 11-12), noe som gir Investorene rett til å tegne seg for 2.000.000 aksjer i Selskapet, hver med en pålydende verdi på NOK 0,1, under forutsetning av at visse vilkår for utøvelse oppfylles (Tegningsrettene).

3. Approval of the notice of the meeting and the agenda
The Board's proposal for resolution: "The notice of and agenda for the meeting was approved."
4. Information matter: Acquisition of the LOC Group
The Company and LOC Group Holdings Limited (the "Seller"), announced on 23 November 2020 that the parties have entered into a share purchase agreement (the "SPA"), whereby the Company will acquire the LOC Group by way of purchasing the entire issued share capital of Neptune Midco 1 Limited (the "Target") from the Seller (the "Transaction").
The consideration payable to the Seller by the Company under the SPA would be satisfied by:
- (i) a cash payment in the amount of £1; and
- (ii) the redemption of loan notes issued by Target to certain funds managed by Bridgepoint Advisers II Limited (the "Investors") with part of the proceeds of such redemption to be used by the Investors to acquire 2,000,000 independent subscription rights (Frittstående Tegningsretter) (as defined by the Public Limited Liability Companies Act, §11-12) to the Investors giving the right to subscribe for 2,000,000 shares of NOK 0.1 each in the capital of the Company subject to
fulfilment of certain conditions for exercise ("Warrants").
Forutsatt at alle utøvelsesvilkårene for Tegningsrettene oppfylles, vil aksjene som innehaverne av Tegningsrettene har rett til å tegne seg for i Selskapet utgjøre om lag 2,76 % av de utestående aksjene i Selskapet etter utøvelse av Tegningsrettene (basert på Selskapets aksjekapital på datoen for denne generalforsamlingen).
Gjennomføring av Transaksjonen er avhengig av generalforsamlingens godkjennelse av den Rettede Emisjonen og utstedelse av Tegningsrettene (i tråd med forslagene i punkt 5 og 6 av innkallingen).
Et prospekt for notering av aksjene utstedt under den Rettede Emisjonen og Reparasjonsemisjonen (som beskrevet i punkt 5 og 7 nedenfor) vil publiseres i forkant av tegningsperioden for Reparasjonsemisjonen, og vil inneholde en mer detaljert beskrivelse av Transaksjonen.
Det ble ikke truffet noen vedtak under dette punktet.
5. Kapitalforhøyelse ved rettet emisjon
For å finansiere Selskapets erverv av Målselskapet, har Selskapet, som kunngjort 23. november 2020, mottatt tegninger av nye aksjer i en rettet emisjon med bruttoproveny på NOK 135.000.002,80 (den Rettede Emisjonen), med forbehold for godkjennelse av Selskapets generalforsamling.
Aksjene i den Rettede Emisjonen har blitt plassert til en fast tegningskurs på NOK 6,10 per nye aksje rettet mot visse eksisterende aksjonærer og nye investorer. Det foreslås derfor at de eksisterende aksjonærenes fortrinnsrett til nye aksjer i henhold til allmennaksjeloven § 10-4 fravikes, og at alle aksjene tegnes av Clarksons Platou Securities AS, Nordea Bank ABP, Filial i Norge and Sparebank 1 Markets AS (som tilretteleggere for den rettede emisjonen) på vegne av
Assuming that all exercise conditions for the Warrants are met, the shares the warrant holders will be entitled to subscribe for in the Company will correspond to approximately 2.76% of the outstanding shares of the Company post exercise of the Warrants (based upon the share capital in the Company as of this general meeting).
Completion of the Transaction is, conditional upon, the general meeting of the Company approving the Private Placement and the issuance of the Warrants (as proposed in item 5 and 6 of the calling notice).
A joint prospectus for the listing of the Private Placement shares and for the Subsequent Offering (as described in item 5 and 7 below) will be published prior to the start of the subscription period in the Subsequent Offering and will include a more detailed description of the Transaction.
No resolutions were made under this item.
5. Capital increase by way of a private placement
In order to finance the Company's acquisition of the Target, the Company has, as announced on 23 November 2020, received subscriptions for new shares in a private placement with gross proceeds of NOK 135,000,002.80 (the "Private Placement") subject to approval by the Company's general meeting.
The shares in the Private Placement have been placed at a fixed subscription price of NOK 6.10 per new share directed towards certain existing shareholders and new investors. It is therefore proposed that the existing shareholders' preferential rights to new shares pursuant to Section 10-4 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act are waived, and that all shares are subscribed for by Clarksons Platou Securities AS, Nordea Bank ABP, Filial investorene i den Rettede Emisjonen, og direkte av slike investorer. Slik fraskrivelse av de eksisterende aksjonærenes fortrinnsrett anses nødvendig for å sikre finansiering av ervervet av Målselskapet. De eksisterende aksjonærene som ikke fikk tilbud om å tegne seg for aksjer i den Rettede Emisjonen vil få anledning til å tegne seg for aksjer i en Reparasjonsemisjon som beskrevet i punkt 7 nedenfor.
Under den Rettede Emisjonen vil det utstedes totalt 22.131.148 aksjer. I forbindelse med noteringen av de nye aksjene utstedt under den Rettede Emisjonen vil Selskapet utarbeide et felles noterings- og tilbudsprospekt.
På denne bakgrunn foreslår styret at generalforsamlingen godkjenner gjennomføringen av den Rettede Emisjonen og fatter følgende vedtak:
- 1. Selskapets aksjekapital økes med NOK 2.213.114,80, fra NOK 7.041.643,50 til NOK 9.254.758,30 ved utstedelse 22.131.148 nye aksjer, hver pålydende NOK 0,10.
- 2. Tegningskursen skal være NOK 6,10 per aksje og samlet tegningsbeløp utgjør NOK 135.000.002,80. Tegningsbeløpet skal gjøres opp ved kontant betaling.
- 3. Aksjene kan tegnes av Clarksons Platou Securities AS, Nordea Bank ABP, Filial i Norge og Sparebank 1 Markets AS på vegne av, og etter fullmakt fra, investorer som har fått tildelt aksjer i den Rettede Emisjonen, og direkte av slike investorer. Aksjene skal tegnes i særskilt tegningsdokument på datoen for generalforsamlingen. De eksisterende aksjonærenes
i Norge and Sparebank 1 Markets AS (acting as joint managers for the private placement) on behalf of the investors in the Private Placement, and directly by said investors. Such waiver of the preferential rights of existing shareholders is considered necessary in order to ensure the financing of the acquisition of the Target. Existing shareholders that were not allocated shares in the Private Placement will be given the opportunity to subscribe for shares in a Subsequent Offering as further described in item 7 below.
The aggregate number of shares to be issued in connection with the Private Placement is 22,131,148. In connection with the listing of the new shares issued in the Private Placement a joint listing and offering prospectus will be prepared.
On this basis, the Board proposes that the general meeting approves the completion of the Private Placement and adopts the following resolution:
- 1. The share capital shall be increased with NOK 2,213,114.80, from NOK 7,041,643.50 to NOK 9,254,758.30 by issue of 22,131,148 new shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.10.
- 2. The subscription price shall be NOK 6.10 per share giving a total subscription amount of NOK 135,000,002.80. Payment shall be made in cash.

The shares shall be subscribed for on a separate subscription form on the date of the general meeting. Existing shareholders' preferential rights
fortrinnsrett etter allmennaksjeoven § 10-4, jf. § 10-5 fravikes.
- 4. Betaling for de nye aksjene skal gjøres opp innen to virkedager etter tegningen og ikke senere enn 16. desember 2020. Betaling skal gjøres til Selskapets konto for kapitalforhøyelser.
- 5. De nye aksjene gir rett til utbytte og andre aksjonærrettigheter fra og med registreringen av kapitalforhøyelsen i Foretaksregisteret.
- 6. Kostnadene ved kapitalforhøyelsen, anslås til ca. NOK 5 millioner.
- 7. § 4 i Selskapets vedtekter endres til å lyde som følger: "Selskapets aksjekapital er NOK 9.254.758,30 fordelt på 92.547.583 aksjer, hver pålydende NOK 0.10. Aksjene skal registreres i VPS."

Tegningsrettene skal opptjenes i to separate transjer basert på en volumvektet gjennomsnittspris (VWAP) for Selskapets aksjer i visse forhåndsdefinerte perioder.
Utstedelsen av Tegningsrettene innebærer en fravikelse av de eksisterende aksjonærenes fortrinnsrett til å tegne seg for nye tegningsretter. Styret er av de oppfatning at en slik fraskrivelse er nødvendig for å sikre gjennomføring av Transaksjonen, noe som vil være i Selskapets og aksjonærenes felles interesse.
På denne bakgrunn foreslår styret at generalforsamlingen vedtar at de eksisterende aksjonærenes fortrinnsrett til å tegne seg for Tegningsrettene fravikes.
Styret foreslår at generalforsamlingen fatter følgende vedtak:
- 1. Selskapet skal utstede 2.000.000 frittstående tegningsretter i Selskapet (Tegningsrettene).

shares on the same terms as the Private Placement.
The Board will determine further criteria for allocation of non-tradeable subscription rights in the Subsequent Offering in line with generally accepted principles. Given the purpose of the Subsequent Offering, the power of attorney will include an authorization to waive the shareholders' preferential rights to subscribe for new shares.
On such basis, the Board proposes that the general meeting passes the following resolution:

De nye opsjonene vil først kunne utøves om tre år. For å gi styret fleksibilitet i forbindelse med utstedelse av aksjer under det eksisterende insentivprogrammet og å kunne tilby de nye aksjeopsjonene, foreslår styret at generalforsamlingen gir styret en fullmakt til å utstede opp til 11.000.000 nye aksjer, tilsvarende ca. 11,9 % av Selskapets aksjekapital etter gjennomføring av den

Rettede Emisjonen, i tilknytning til Selskapets insentivprogram for ansatte.

Placement, in connection with the Company's employee incentive program.
Due to the purpose of the power of attorney, it is proposed to authorize the Board to waive existing shareholders' preferential rights.
The Board proposes the following resolution:
