The shares of the company and the right to vote for shares

The company's share capital is NOK 454,840,000.00 divided into 274,000,000 shares each having a par value of NOK 1.66. There are no limitations for voting rights set out in the articles of association, however, no voting rights may be exercised for the company's own shares (treasury shares) or for shares held by the company's subsidiaries. As of 13 March 2014, the company holds 1,955,611 own shares. Each share is entitled to one vote. Pursuant to § 9 of the articles of association and § 5-12 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the annual general meeting will be opened and chaired by the chairman of the board of directors, Øyvind Eriksen, or a person appointed by him.

Each shareholder has the right to vote for the number of shares owned by the shareholder and registered on an account in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS) belonging to the shareholder at the time of the annual general meeting. If a shareholder has acquired shares and the share acquisition has not been registered with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository at the time of the annual general meeting, voting rights for the acquired shares may only be exercised if the acquisition is reported to the Norwegian Central Securities Depository and proven at the annual general meeting. In case of ownership transfer, the parties may agree that the seller can exercise the shareholder rights until the rights have been assumed by the acquirer.

Voting rights on shares registered in VPS accounts belonging to custodians, cf. the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act § 4-10, may, from the company's point of view, not be exercised either by the beneficial owner or the custodian. However, the beneficial owner of the shares may exercise voting rights if he proves that he has taken the necessary actions to termi- nate the custodianship of the shares and that the shares will be transferred to an ordinary VPS account in the name of the owner. If the owner can prove that he has initiated such measures and that he has a real shareholder interest in the company, he may, in the opinion of the company, vote for the shares even if they are not yet registered in an ordinary VPS account.

The shareholders' rights

A shareholder cannot demand that new items are added to the agenda when the deadline for such request has expired, cf. § 5-11 second sentence of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act. A shareholder has the right to make proposals for a resolution regarding the items which will be considered by the general meeting.

A shareholder has the right to require board members and the general manager to provide necessary information to the general meeting that may influence

    1. the approval of the annual accounts and the annual report;
    1. items which have been presented to the shareholders for decision; 3. the company's financial position, including information on other compa- nies in which the company participates, and other items to be conside- red at the general meeting, unless the information requested may not be disclosed without causing disproportionate damage to the company.

If additional information is necessary, and an answer cannot be given at the general meeting, a written answer shall be prepared within two weeks from the date of the general meeting. Such answer shall be available to the share- holders at the company's premises and be sent to shareholders requesting the information. If the answer is considered material for evaluation of the circumstances mentioned in the previous paragraph, the answer should be sent to all shareholders with known address.
