The board of directors proposes that the general meeting passes the following resolution:
- a) "The board is authorized to acquire own shares in the company up to an aggregate nominal value of NOK 53,154,045. The power of attorney also provides for agreements regarding pledges over its own shares
- b) The highest and lowest purchase price for each share shall be NOK 300 and NOK 1, respectively. The authorization may only be used for the purpose of utilising the company's shares as transaction currency in acquisitions, mergers, de-mergers or other transactions. The board is otherwise free to decide the method of acquisition and disposal of the company's shares.
