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

As of the date of this notice, the Company's share capital is NOK 606,165,050 divided into 60,616,505 shares, each having a face value of NOK 10. Each share carries one vote. However, voting and ownership restrictions apply to Shipping Operators, as set out in the Articles of Association section 8. No voting rights may be exercised for the Company's own shares. As of March 31, 2022, the Company owned 0 own shares.

Each shareholder has, subject to the abovementioned restrictions for Shipping Operators as defined in the Articles of Association section 8, the right to vote for the number of shares owned by the actual shareholder and registered in the shareholder's register with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (Euronext Securities Oslo ("VPS")) at the time of the general meeting. If a share acquisition has not been

registered with the VPS at the time of the general meeting, voting rights for the acquired shares may only be exercised if the acquisition is reported to the VPS and proven at the general meeting. In a share transfer, the parties may agree that the seller can exercise the shareholder rights until the rights have been assumed by the acquirer.

In the company's opinion, neither the beneficial owner nor the agent has the right to vote for shares registered on nominee accounts with the VPS, cf. the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 4-10. The beneficial owner may, however, vote for the shares in the event all necessary steps are taken to terminate the custodian registration of the shares, and the shares are transferred to an ordinary account registered with the VPS, in the owner's name. Provided that the owner can document such conduct, and he has an actual ownership interest in the company, he may, in the company's opinion, vote for the shares, even though they are not yet registered on an ordinary VPS-account.

The shareholders' rights

A shareholder cannot demand that new items are added to the agenda now, when the deadline for such request has expired, cf. the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 5-11 second sentence. 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 request board members and the CEO to provide necessary information to the general meeting that may influence the approval of the annual accounts and the Board of Directors' report; items brought before the general meeting for approval; the Company's financial state, including information on other companies in which the Company participates, and other items to be discussed at the general meeting, unless the information requested may not be disclosed without causing disproportionate harm to the Company.

If additional information is necessary, and an answer not will 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 at the company's office and 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.
