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

The Company's share capital is NOK 690 348 751 divided into 690 348 751 shares each having a par value of NOK 1. Each share is entitled to one vote at the general meeting. 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 per the date hereof, the Company holds no own shares.

Each shareholder has the right to vote for the number of shares owned by the shareholder on 23 April 2025 (the record date). Owners of shares held through a custodian must additionally ensure that the Company is notified separately, see below.

The shareholders' rights

A shareholder cannot demand that new items are added to the agenda when the deadline for such request has expired, cf. section 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 affect the approval of the annual accounts and the annual report, and the consideration of matters submitted to shareholders for decision. The same applies to information regarding the Company's financial condition including information on other companies in which the company participates and other matters to be addressed at the general meeting, unless the information required cannot be disclosed without causing disproportionate harm 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 shareholders 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.

The annual general meeting will be held as a digital meeting via Lumi AGM on

Shareholders must communicate with their custodians, who are responsible for conveying votes, proxies or enrolment. Custodians must according to Section 5-3 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act register this with the company no later than 2 working days before the general meeting, i.e. no later than April 28, 2025.
