The nomination committee's proposal to the Annual General Meeting in Acta Holding ASA

To the shareholders of Acta Holding ASA

The nomination committee's proposal to the Annual General Meeting in Acta

Holding ASA for new members to the Board of Directors and to the remuneration of

the Board of Directors and the nomination committee

The nomination committee in Acta Holding ASA has consisted of Jan Petter

Collier, Alfred Ydstebø and solicitor Ulf-Einar Staalesen. Solicitor Staalesen

has been the chairman of the nomination committee.

The most important task for the nomination committee has been to identify

candidates to the Board of Directors, irrespective of gender, which are

considered to hold the necessary competence and capacity to conduct the relevant

Board work. In this regard, the nomination committee has evaluated the

competence and qualities which are already represented on the Board of Directors

among members who are not up for re-election.  The Board of Directors, as a

collegium, holds the responsibility to balance the different interests in order

to promote the value creation in the company. The nomination committee has

therefore sought to identify candidates to the Board that have both the will and

ability to cooperate.

Only Stein Aukner is eligible for re-election, and the nomination committee

proposes that he is re-elected for a period of two years.

Alfred Ydstebø, Ellen Math Henrichsen and Harald Sig. Pedersen are not up for

election, and will thus continue as members of the Board of Directors.

Ragnhild Kvålshaugen has informed the Board that she wishes to resign from the

Board in Acta Holding ASA. She will be replaced by a new board member. The

nomination committee will also propose to strengthen the Board of Directors with

two additional members.

police in Oslo Police district for  ecomic and environmental crime. She has her

educational background from i.a. Norwegian College of Banking and Norwegian

School of Management.

2. Pia Gideon, 55 years, consultant, broad and long Swedish and international

experience in communication, branding and marketing i.a. Ericsson and JKL and as

a journalist in the leading Swedish business magazines Veckans Affarer and

industries. She is i.a. a graduate of Stockholm School of Economics and also has

Recovery Inc. and Opera Software ASA. Lorentzen is a Master in Business and

cent of the shares in Acta.

3.  Ellen Math Henrichsen
