Statement on Guidelines from the Board

This is a statement from the Board of Bonheur ASA (the "Company") on compensation for the management of the day-to-day operation of the Company, for presentation to the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 30 May 2018 for an advisory vote in reference to the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies' Act § 6-16a.

Fred. Olsen & Co. is in charge of the day-to-day management of the Company and as part of these services Anette S. Olsen holds the position as Managing Director of the Company.

The services provided by Fred. Olsen & Co. comprise general administration, finance-, accounting- and legal support. Anette Olsen is the proprietor of Fred. Olsen & Co., which at year-end 2017 had 33 employees.

In reference to the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies' Act § 6-16a the following guidelines are proposed for an advisory vote at the Company's Annual General Meeting;

The overriding principle shall be that the compensation for the management of the day-to-day operation of the Company duly reflects the inherent responsibilities consequent on this assignment and is in line with comparable market terms.

In reference to established practice, the Shareholders' Committee will annually provide recommendations to the Board on determination of such compensation.

In addition to the ordinary compensation, an annual bonus may also form a part of the overall annual compensation. Such bonus shall be conditional on the performance of the Company and the extent to which Fred. Olsen & Co. together with its employees has satisfied such targets as may have been established or otherwise identified by the Board of the Company.

Neither share options nor sharing of profit shall form part of the compensation for the management in question. Except for what follows from the aforesaid, the said management of the Company shall neither yield any kind of payments in kind.

These guidelines are adapted to the fact that Fred. Olsen & Co. is in charge of the management and overall day-to-day operations of the Company and that Anette Olsen, as part of these services, holds the position as Managing Director of the Company.

The Board of the Company, constituted by the in this regard competent Directors, is thus proposing that the Annual General Meeting resolves as follows:

"The Annual General Meeting approved on an advisory basis the Board's statement on guidelines for determination of compensation to Fred. Olsen & Co. for its management of the day-to-day operation of Bonheur ASA, as presented to the Annual General Meeting."
