Item 4: Proposal for authority to the Board to increase the company's share capital.
On May 13th 2011 the General Meeting passed an option scheme for employees which included issuing up to 6,000,000 options.
At the same time, the General Meeting agreed on making sure that the Board on all occasions would have the necessary authority to issue new shares and/or purchase own shares, so that the Company's commitment to the employees in accordance with the option scheme could be fulfilled.
As of 01.01.2014, a total of 6,000,000 outstanding options have the right to purchase an equivalent number of shares in AF Gruppen ASA. Exercising of the options shall, in accordance with the General Meeting's resolution 13.05.2011, take place in 2014 at the Board of Directors' discretion. The Board has decided that all outstanding options are to be redeemed in March 2014.
The Board of Directors will request the General Meeting of a power of attorney to carry out a share issue of the number of options to be redeemed.
The Board of Directors recommends that the General Meeting adopts the following resolution cf. Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act §§10-14 to 10-19:
The Board of Directors is given authority to increase share capital by issuing new shares.
Share capital may be increased by up to NOK 300,000 divided by up to 6,000,000 shares, each with a face value of NOK 0.05. The authority may be used in one share issue. Statement of the share capital and number of shares in the articles of association's § 4 will be changed correspondingly.
The authority may only be used to issue shares in connection with the Company's employee option scheme.
The Board of Directors may decide to derogate from the shareholders preferential rights to subscribe shares cf. Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act §§10-14.
The authority takes effect as of 14 February 2014 and is effective up to the date of the Annual General Meeting 2014, yet no later than 30 June 2014.
Shareholders have the right to meet and vote by proxy, in which case a written and dated proxy must be presented. The enclosed proxy form may be used.
Registration for the Extraordinary General Meeting must be in the Company's hands no later than 10 February 2014. Please use the registration slip you have been sent or notify us by telephone by calling 22 89 11 00 if you wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting.
