13. Board authorization for capital increase

The Board is of the opinion that it should have authorisation to increase the company's share capital, as such authorisation gives the Board the necessary flexibility to purchase potential new solar parks or pursue other strategic options, and an authorisation is both time and cost efficient in the event of possible future increases in share capital. To maintain the desirable degree of flexibility the Board recommends two mandates;

The first mandate authorising the Board to issue new shares with a minimum price of NOK 1.00 per share and the second mandate to issue new shares with a minimum price of NOK 1.25.

The Board has, therefore, decided to propose the following resolutions:

Authorization 1:

"The General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to increase the company's share capital to issue shares:

a. The company's share capital may be increased by up to NOK 12,000,00 by issuing up to 12,000,000 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 1.00. Increases within these limits may take place in one or more subscriptions, as per the Board's decision.

b. The board of directors will determine the subscription price. The subscription price shall not be lower than NOK 1.00 per share.

c. This authorisation is valid until the annual general meeting in 2020, and in any event, no longer than 30 May 2020.

d. The Board may depart from the shareholders' pre-emption right to subscribe for the new shares pursuant to Section 10-4 of the Public Limited Companies Act.

e. The authorisation shall also cover a capital increase against non-cash contributions and the right to impose special obligations on the Company, as mentioned in Section 10-2 of the Public Limited Companies Act. The authorisation also includes a merger resolution pursuant to Section 13-5 of the Public Limited Companies Act.

f. The shares will be entitled to dividends as from the time they are registered in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises.

g. This authorisation supersedes current authorisations to increase the company's share capital; however, subject to the general meeting's approval, this mandate applies in parallel with the board authorization mentioned below".

Authorization 2.

"The General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to increase the company's share capital to issue shares:

a. The company's share capital may be increased by up to NOK 10,000,00 by issuing up to 10,000,000 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 1.00. Increases within these limits may take place in one or more subscriptions, as per the Board's decision.

b. The board of directors will determine the subscription price. The subscription price shall not be lower than NOK 1.25 per share.

c. This authorisation is valid until the annual general meeting in 2020, and in any event, no longer than 30 May 2020.
