COMPANY PROPOSAL
TO APPROVE THE INCREASE IN THE COMPANY'S AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL
The authorised share capital of the Company is US\$11,182,692.30 consisting of 223,653,846 common shares, par value US\$0.05 each of which 210,318,704 common shares are in issue. On October 5, 2020 the Company settled an equity offering of 51,886,793 new depository receipts, representing the beneficial interest in the same number of the Company's underlying common shares listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (the "Equity Offering"). The Company's issued share capital was increased by USD 2,594,339.65 to USD 10,515,935.20 divided into 210,318,704 common shares with a nominal value of USD 0.05 per common share. This leaves the Company with 13,335,142 unissued shares available. The Company therefore would like to increase the share capital in order to have sufficient for potential future share issuances.
