Re. 8.a. Proposal to amend article 5.1 to that the Company's shares are changed from being issued to the bearer to being issued in the name of the holder

The Board of Directors proposes to amend article 5.1 of the Articles of Association to that the Company's shares are changed from being issued to the bearer to being issued in the name of the holder.

The background for the proposal is adoption of law no. 739 - 2015-06-01 repealing the possibility of issuing new bearer shares.

The proposal entails amending Article 5.1 of the Articles of Association to:

"The Company's shares are registered in the names of the holders and shall be entered in the Company's register of shareholders."

Furthermore, as a consequence of the amendment of Article 5.1 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors proposes to amend the wording of clause 6.2 accordingly.

Re. 8.b. Proposal to adopt a remuneration policy for the Board of Directors and the Executive Management

To further enhance the Company's adherence to Danish Corporate Governance Recommendations beyond the mandatory descriptions of incentive-based remuneration, the Board is proposing to adopt a Remuneration Policy. The policy details the framework for the remuneration components available for the Board.

Re. 8.c. Authorisation of the Board of Directors to acquire the Company's own shares

The Board of Directors requests the authorisation of the general meeting to allow the Company for the period until the next annual general meeting to acquire its own shares corresponding to a maximum amount representing 10 % of the share capital. The price may not deviate by more than 10 % from the closing rate on Oslo Børs ASA ("Oslo Stock Exchange") listed price at the time of the acquisition.
