The AGM further resolves that the Company's Audit, Risks and Compliance Office (GRC) shall be empowered to issue a negative opinion vetoing the approved distribution only if, after careful review, the Company's Audit, Risks and Compliance Office (GRC) determines that proceeding with the repayment would compromise the Company's ability to continue its operations on a sustainable basis. In making this determination, the Company's Audit, Risks and Compliance Office (GRC) shall consider the Company's overall solvency, financial capacity and needs, the prevailing geopolitical and economic context, and any other relevant factors (including applicable law) that could adversely affect the sustainability of the Company's activities or prevent the Company from proceeding to the relevant distribution.

Schedule 2: Explanatory remarks on agenda items
AGM
Share premium repayment
Shareholders are invited to approve four distributions sourced out of share premium, each in an amount of USD 25,000,000 and to be implemented once per quarter. For technical accounting and legal reasons, the distribution will be made as a repayment of share premium, as the Company currently does not have profits available for distribution.
These distributions will only become effective if, at the relevant quarterly verification date, the Board of Directors confirms that three objective conditions precedent are satisfied. First, the distribution must be permitted under the Company's contractual arrangements, including the covenants under its financing documentation. In particular, under the indenture governing the USD 650,000,000 9.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2029, as amended (the Indenture), the Company may, beginning April 1, 2026 and up to and including the first quarter of 2027, make pro rata distributions to shareholders in an amount not exceeding USD 25,000,000 per quarter, provided (i) it could incur at least USD 1.00 of additional indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) and (ii) its Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio would not be greater than 2.25:1.00 after giving effect to such distribution.
Second, as of the relevant payment date, and after giving effect to the relevant distribution, the Company must maintain an unrestricted cash balance of at least USD 100,000,000. These safeguards ensure compliance with the Company's financing obligations and preserve adequate liquidity.
Third, in alignment with prudent financial governance and risk management, the Company's Audit, Risks and Compliance Office (GRC) can issue a veto against the approved distribution if it determines that such distribution may compromise the Company's financial soundness. Specifically, the AGM resolves that the Company's Audit, Risks and Compliance Office (GRC) shall be empowered to issue a negative opinion vetoing the approved distribution only if, after careful review, the GRC determines that proceeding with the repayment would compromise the Company's ability to continue its operations on a sustainable basis. In making this determination, the GRC shall consider the Company's overall solvency, financial capacity and needs, the prevailing geopolitical and economic context, and any other relevant factors (including applicable law) that could adversely affect the sustainability of the Company's activities or prevent the Company from proceeding to the relevant distribution.
This independent review process ensures that all distributions are made in line with the Company's financial and operational stability.
The inclusion of this veto power by an independent body underscores the Board's commitment to maintaining fiscal responsibility and safeguarding the Company's liquidity and financial health. This mechanism provides an additional layer of oversight and is designed to protect the Company's interests by preventing distributions that could adversely affect its financial position.
The Board of Directors will not have discretion to decide whether a distribution should take place. Its role is strictly limited to verifying, once per quarter, whether the relevant conditions precedent have been satisfied. If the conditions are met, the distribution must be made within the corresponding quarterly time period; if one of the conditions is not satisfied the relevant distribution does not take effect.
To ensure that no right to a distribution arises before the conditions precedent are effectively fulfilled, the shareholders will waive the retroactive effect provided under article 1179 of the Civil Code in respect of the conditions precedent. This structure provides shareholders with visibility on the intended distributions while ensuring that each quarterly distribution is implemented only if legally, financially, and prudently justified.
Reappointment of the Board and approval of the remuneration of the members of the Board and of the chairperson of each of the committees of the Board for the current financial year ending on 31 December 2026
The shareholders are invited to consider and approve the reappointment of the same members of the Board for a mandate that will expire on the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2028.
In addition, the shareholders are invited to vote on the remuneration of Maria Vladimirovna Gordon, Bruno Pessoa Serapiao, Jaap Jan Prins and Jorge Andrés Tagle Ovalle as directors of the Company for the current financial year ending on 31 December 2026, which remains consistent with the remuneration currently applied, it being clarified that Bertrand Jean-Marie Patrick de Fays and Nicholas Simon Procopenko do not receive any remuneration.
The shareholders are also invited to approve the payment of an additional annual cash retainer fee for the financial year ending on 31 December 2026 to the chairperson of each of the committees of the Board.
Liquidity Event and Specified Qualifying Liquidity Event
The shareholders are also invited to consider and approve that certain additional transactions shall fall under to the scope of a Liquidity Event (as defined under item (iv) and the definition of Liquidity Event in the MIP term sheet approved by the general meeting of shareholders on 12 December 2024) and a Specified Qualifying Liquidity Event (as defined in the amended and restated warrant agreement of the Company dated July 8,2025).
More specifically, in the context of the contemplated admission to trading of the Company's shares or depositary receipts on Euronext Oslo Børs (defined as Uplisting), the shareholders are invited to approve that any block trades and secondary offerings (considered together or separately) occurring after the announcement of the intention to pursue the Uplisting shall be considered towards the determination that the 20% offering of common shares of the Company in a primary or secondary offering has been reached and thus a Liquidity Event has occurred. Where multiple block trades and/or secondary offerings occur, the TEV shall be calculated using the volume-weighted average of such transactions. For purposes of such approval, "block trades" shall means any transaction (or series of related transactions) in the Company's common shares (or depositary receipts representing such shares) that is executed as a single negotiated trade (or cross) with one or more purchasers in excess of $3,000,000 dollars; and the announcement of the intention to pursue the Uplisting shall be deemed to have occurred upon the publication of the convening notice to this shareholder meeting on the website of the Company https://ri.theconstellation.com.
This proposal aims to enhance the Company's market position and ensure compliance with the regulatory requirements necessary for the Uplisting to Euronext Oslo Børs (mainlist).
The Board believes that this approach will facilitate the Company's strategic objectives of broadening the
shareholder base, enhancing liquidity, and increasing visibility and credibility in the market. This strategic move is expected to provide access to a larger pool of investors, thereby strengthening the Company's financial position and market profile.
In conclusion, the resolution under Agenda item 18, supported by the independent veto mechanism in Agenda item 5, reflect the Board's strategic vision to enhance shareholder value while ensuring the Company's financial stability and operational continuity. The Board recommends that shareholders approve these resolutions to advance the Company's strategic initiatives responsibly.
Other standard matters
In the context of the AGM the shareholders are invited to review the management report prepared by the Board and the reports of the statutory auditor (commissaire aux comptes) and the independent auditor (reviseur d'enterprises agréé). In addition, the AGM agenda contains the customary matters to be considered and approved by the shareholders, including inter alia, the approval of the annual accounts of the Company for the financial year 2025 and the consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2025. These documents are made available on the Company's website: https://ri.theconstellation.com/, and at the Company's registered office. The agenda also includes the appointment of Auren Audit S.à r.l. as statutory auditor (reviseur d'enterprises agréé) with respect to the Company's annual accounts for the financial year 2026 and Grant Thornton Audit & Assurance as statutory auditor (reviseur d'enterprises agréé) with respect to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2026.
EGM
Authorized Capital
Under Luxembourg law, authorised share capital is a mechanism by which the shareholders pre-authorise the board of directors or managers to increase the company's share capital up to a maximum amount and within a defined period, without requiring a further shareholder resolution for each issuance.
In addition to the existing uses of the authorised share capital, the proposal introduces two new permitted uses in connection with the Uplisting and in connection with the BOD MIP payment and the granting of Shares to management of the Company, as set out in Articles 5.3.3 and 5.3.4 of the amended articles of association of the Company.
a) Authorized share capital in connection with the Uplisting
Article 5.3.3 (assuming that resolution 1 of the EGM is approved) extends the scope of the authorised share capital to allow the issuance of shares in connection with the Uplisting. This amendment is intended to provide the Board with the necessary flexibility to implement a potential public offering and listing without requiring further shareholder approvals for each related capital increase.
In particular, the Company intends, in connection with the Uplisting, to broaden its shareholder base so as to meet the shareholder distribution criteria applicable for admission to trading on the Main Market, including the requirement to have at least 500 shareholders. To that end, the Board considers that a primary offering by the Company may be required. The contemplated size of such primary offering would be up to USD 5,000,000 (or the equivalent amount in other currencies). Given that the timing, structure and final size of any such primary offering will depend on market conditions and regulatory and exchange processes, the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to obtain the relevant shareholder authorisations
in advance, so that, if and when the Company decides to proceed with the Uplisting, the issuance of new Shares can be implemented without undue delay. Accordingly, the Board requires the authority (x) to increase the share capital of the Company, once or more, in a timely manner and (y) to limit or cancel preferential subscription rights of shareholders in connection with such issuance.
The Board further believes that the Uplisting may be beneficial to the Company as it is expected to (a) improve trading liquidity and broaden the investor base by providing access to a larger and more diverse pool of Norwegian and international investors, (b) enhance the Company's visibility, credibility and market profile by moving to a regulated market, (c) strengthen the Company's ability to raise equity capital in the future and potentially reduce the cost of capital over time through improved market access and liquidity, and (d) provide the Company with a more efficient equity currency for potential strategic transactions and employee incentive arrangements. The Board notes that the realisation of these potential benefits will depend on market conditions and the Company's ability to satisfy applicable regulatory and exchange requirements.
b) Authorized share capital in connection with the MIP
Article 5.3.4 (or Article 5.3.3 if resolution 1 of the EGM is not approved) is intended to amend the settlement mechanism under the management incentive plan for certain members of the Board and other eligible persons (the MIP), including the BOD MIP.
The MIP has been duly approved by the shareholders and entitles eligible participants to receive awards upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event. Under the current terms of the MIP, as amended by the MIP term sheet approved by the general meeting of shareholders on 12 December 2024, the entitlements of eligible members of the Board under the BoD MIP are denominated and payable exclusively in cash. The Board now proposes to introduce the option for the Company to settle such cash entitlements up to 50% and at the eligible person's choice, through the issuance and delivery of Shares, subject to the terms and conditions of the MIP and applicable law. Any such settlement in Shares would require the Company to issue new Shares to the relevant beneficiaries with or without consideration and, accordingly, the Board requires the authority to increase the share capital and to limit or cancel existing shareholders' preferential subscription rights in connection with such issuance. The issue price for any Shares issued for these purposes shall be determined at the relevant time in accordance with the applicable terms of the MIP and prevailing market practice, taking into account the fair market value of the Shares (including, as applicable, by reference to the market value of any depository receipts listed on the Main Market of the OSE). In addition, for the portion of the cash entitlement that is voluntarily converted into Shares by an eligible Board member and other eligible persons (the Base Equity Component), the Board proposes to grant a supplemental equity component equal to thirty percent (30%) of the converted base amount (the Supplemental Equity Component). Both the Base Equity Component and the Supplemental Equity Component would be granted in the form of Shares that are subject to a lock-up period of 12 months as of their issuance. The issuance of Shares pursuant to the Base Equity Component and the Supplemental Equity Component would likewise require the authority to increase the share capital and to limit or cancel existing shareholders' preferential subscription rights.
The Board considers that the proposed settlement mechanism, including the option to satisfy cash entitlements through the delivery of Shares and the granting of the Supplemental Equity Component for voluntarily converted amounts, serves the Company's strategic and financial interests for the following reasons: (a) it mitigates immediate cash outflows at or around the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, thereby preserving liquidity during a transaction-critical period; (b) it enhances balance sheet flexibility and optimizes capital allocation by reducing cash disbursements while maintaining the economic substance of
the entitlements under the MIP; and (c) it strengthens governance and promotes long-term value creation by aligning the interests of eligible Board members and other eligible persons with those of shareholders through meaningful equity ownership subject to lock-up. The Supplemental Equity Component is specifically designed to compensate the eligible participants for the restrictions and illiquidity resulting from the 12- month lock-up period applicable to the Shares received, which is consistent with customary market practice for equity-based incentive arrangements involving transfer restrictions. Furthermore, the Board notes that, under this new structure, members of the Board who elect to receive Shares will become equity holders of the Company on terms comparable to those applicable to the Company's management, who already receive a portion of their entitlements under the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTI) in the form of Shares. This alignment between the Board and management reinforces a shared commitment to long-term value creation and demonstrates the Board's genuine interest in being aligned with the interests of the shareholders. The Board further notes that any election by eligible Board members, management and other eligible persons to receive Shares in lieu of cash constitutes a material modification of the economic terms of their award, as such election entails (i) the relinquishment of guaranteed liquidity and immediate cash realization, (ii) exposure to share price volatility and market risk, (iii) transfer restrictions and limitations on liquidity, and (iv) downside exposure inherent in equity ownership, particularly in a cyclical industry.
In connection with the Uplisting and the MIP, as already indicated above, the shareholders are also invited to authorise the Board to limit or suppress the preferential subscription rights of existing shareholders in connection with issuances under the authorised share capital. This authorisation is intended to provide the Board with the flexibility required to efficiently implement capital increases for the permitted purposes.
The report of the Board with respect to the requested authorisation to limit and suppress the preferential subscription rights of existing shareholders in connection with the Uplisting and the MIP, is made available on the Company's website: https://ri.theconstellation.com/, and at the Company's registered office.
Amendment of articles of association
The Company wishes to have the articles of association (the Articles) amended in connection with the Uplisting, without amending the corporate object of the Company, to be effective as of the date of the Uplisting. The proposed amendments are primarily intended to align the articles of association with the requirements applicable to a company listed on a regulated market. By way of example, certain provisions have been removed on the basis that, following the listing on Euronext Oslo Børs, mandatory takeover offers will be governed by the Luxembourg takeover law, and any squeeze-out procedures will be carried out in accordance with the applicable statutory framework.
Please note that the amendment to the authorised share capital (as proposed in resolutions 1 and 2) will take effect immediately after the EGM, while the remaining amendments to the Articles will only become effective upon the Uplisting. The Board will be authorised to appear before a Luxembourg notary to acknowledge the effectiveness of these amendments.
This differentiation in timing is intended as a precautionary measure, so that, in the event the Uplisting is not approved, the Company does not remain subject to Articles that are tailored for Euronext Oslo Børs, but not suitable for its current listing on Euronext Growth Oslo.
Please find attached a clean draft of the Articles based on an assumption of a scenario in which proposed resolutions 1, 2 and 3 of the EGM are approved (attached hereto as Annex 1) and a compare version based on the same assumption, compared against the current Articles (attached hereto as Annex 2). Additionally, please note that Schedule 1 (Proposed Resolutions) includes the respective wording applicable in the event

Art. 6. Shares
6.1 A register of the shareholders of the Company (the "Register") shall be maintained at the registered office of the Company. The Company shall consider the person in whose name the Shares are recorded in the Register to be the owner of the Shares.
6.2 Where Shares are recorded in the Register on behalf of one or more persons (the Holders or each a Holder) in the name of a securities settlement system or the operator of such system, or in the name of a professional depository of securities, or any other depository (such system, professional or other depository, being referred to as Depository) or of a sub-depository designated by one or more Depositories, the Company, subject to it having received from the Depository with which those Shares are kept in account, satisfactory evidence of the underlying ownership of Shares by those Holders and their authority to vote the Shares, will permit those persons to exercise all rights attaching to those Shares, by allowing the Holders to exercise such rights on behalf of the Depository, including admission to and voting at general meetings. A Depository may accept a transfer to it of Shares and be registered in the Register as the legal owner thereof, and in exchange for such transfer issue to the transferring shareholder(s) a number of depository receipts equal to the number of Shares transferred to it (Depository Receipts), the issuance of such Depository Receipts being subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Depository is established. The Depository shall, in such circumstances, either allow the Holders to exercise their voting right on behalf of the Depository or vote the Shares registered in its name in accordance with the instructions received by it from the holders of Depository Receipts, such persons being included within the meaning of the defined term Holders for the purposes of these Articles. A notice may be given by the Company to Holders by giving such notice to the Depository whose name is listed in the Register in respect of the Shares, and any such notice shall be regarded as proper notice to all Holders.

assets as permitted pursuant to these Articles, only to the Depository or sub-depository recorded in the Register or in accordance with its instructions, and such payment by the Company shall release the Company from any and all obligations in respect of such payment.

6.4 Subject to the provisions of Article 6.1 above, the Shares or Fractional Shares are indivisible vis-à-vis the Company, which shall authorise only one legal owner per Share or Fractional Share. Owners per indivisum must be represented vis-à-vis the Company by one single person in order to be able to exercise their voting rights, if applicable.
6.5 Each Share entitles its shareholder or, indirectly its Holder, as the case may be, to one vote at the general meeting of shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, Fractional Shares carry no voting rights at the general meetings of shareholders of the Company, unless a number of Fractional Shares equals one (1) full Share. Each Share shall, subject to the other provisions of these Articles, carry equal economic rights. The Shares will be uncertificated and are and shall remain in registered form, each representing the same fraction of the Company's share capital.
6.6 In addition to the share capital, there may be set up a premium account into which any premium paid on any Share in addition to its par value is transferred. Any share premium paid in respect of any Shares upon their issuance shall be allocated to such general share premium account of the Company. The amount of the said general share premium account will constitute freely distributable reserves of the Company. The amount of the premium account may, for example, be used to provide for the payment of any Shares which the Company may repurchase from its shareholders, to offset any net authorised losses or to make distributions to the shareholders, such list being a non-exhaustive list of the purposes for which the amount of the premium account may be used; provided, that any such use of the premium account shall be provided or allocated on a pro rata basis among the shareholders in a manner consistent with the required payment of dividends pursuant to Section VI.

Any amounts allocated to the special equity reserve account shall be allocated to the general special equity reserve account.
6.8 Within the limits and conditions set forth in the Law, the Company may repurchase the Shares or cause them to be repurchased by its subsidiaries.
6.9 The Board is authorised to demand from shareholders or Holders, and each of the shareholders or Holders shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and provide, any and all documents and information which the Company may require to enable the Company to comply with the following legal requirements, in each case to the extent applicable to the Company: (i) applicable know your client laws or regulations, (ii) anti-money laundering procedures and regulations, (iii) beneficial ownership declaration and filing obligations in accordance with the Luxembourg law of 13 January 2019 creating the register of beneficial owners, as amended from time to time, (iv) any other obligations provided by applicable law relating to

In circumstances where a Holder commits a KYC Breach, and the Shares with respect to which the Holder has indirect voting rights are registered in the Register in the name of a Depository, the Board shall continue to recognise the voting rights with respect to all other Shares registered in such Depository's name which are not held on behalf of the breaching Holder.

6.3 Les Actions de la Société peuvent être divisées en fractions, chaque fraction étant égale à une partie

d'une Action (une « Fraction d'Action »). Tout détenteur d'une Fraction d'Action qui détient un nombre de Fractions d'Action égal à une (1) Action entière peut demander la conversion de ces Fractions d'Action en une (1) Action entière.
6.4 Sous réserve des dispositions de l'Article 6.1 ci-dessus, les Actions ou Fractions d'Action sont indivisibles vis-à-vis de la Société qui ne reconnaît qu'un (1) seul propriétaire par Action ou Fraction d'Action. Les propriétaires d'actions en copropriété doivent désigner une seule personne pour les représenter auprès de la Société afin de pouvoir exercer leurs droits de vote, le cas échéant.
6.5 Chaque Action donne droit à son actionnaire ou à son Titulaire, selon le cas, à une voix à l'assemblée générale des actionnaires. Pour éviter toute ambiguïté, les Fractions d'Action ne confèrent aucun droit de vote aux assemblées générales des actionnaires de la Société, sauf si un nombre de Fractions d'Action est égal à une (1) Action entière. Sous réserve des autres dispositions des présents Statuts, chaque Action est assortie de droits économiques égaux. Les Actions seront sans certificat et sont et resteront sous forme nominative, chacune représentant la même fraction du capital social de la Société.
6.6 En plus du capital social, un compte prime d'émission peut être établi sur lequel seront transférées toutes les primes d'émission payées sur toute Action en plus de sa valeur nominale. Toute prime d'émission versée au titre de toute Action lors de son émission sera affectée à ce compte général de primes d'émission de la Société. Le montant dudit compte général de primes d'émission constituera des réserves librement distribuables de la Société. Le montant du compte de prime d'émission peut, par exemple, être utilisé pour le paiement des Actions que la Société peut racheter à ses actionnaires, pour compenser toute perte nette réalisée ou pour effectuer des distributions aux actionnaires, cette liste étant une liste non exhaustive des objectifs pour lesquels le montant du compte de prime peut être utilisé, à condition que le montant du compte de prime d'émission ainsi utilisé soit fourni ou alloué au prorata entre les actionnaires de manière cohérente avec le paiement de dividendes conformément à la Section VI.
6.7 La Société peut maintenir un compte de réserve spéciale générale de capitaux propres (compte 115 « apport en capitaux propres non rémunéré par des titres » du plan comptable luxembourgeois prévu par le règlement grand-ducal du 12 septembre 2019). Le montant dudit compte de réserve spéciale générale de capitaux propres constituera des réserves librement distribuables de la Société. Tout montant attribué au compte de réserve spéciale de capitaux propres sera considéré comme attribué au compte de réserve spéciale de capitaux propres général.
6.8 Dans les limites et conditions prévues par la Loi, la Société peut racheter les Actions ou les faire racheter par ses filiales.
6.9 Le Conseil est autorisé à exiger des actionnaires ou des Titulaires et tout actionnaire ou Titulaire est tenu, dans la mesure du possible, de coopérer et fournir tous les documents et informations dont la Société pourrait avoir besoin pour permettre à la Société de se conformer aux conditions légales ci-après, dans la mesure où elles sont applicables à la Société : (i) aux lois ou réglementations applicables en matière de
23
connaissance du client (KYC), (ii) aux procédures et réglementations en matière de lutte contre le blanchiment d'argent, (iii) aux obligations de déclaration et de dépôt des bénéficiaires effectifs conformément à la loi luxembourgeoise du 13 janvier 2019 créant le registre des bénéficiaires effectifs, telle que modifiée de temps à autre, (iv) à toute autre obligation prévue par la loi applicable en matière d'identification et de vérification des bénéficiaires effectifs de la Société ou qui pourrait être requise par la Société pour identifier la nature et la source des financements mis à disposition de la Société. Le Conseil est en outre autorisé à utiliser et à conserver ces informations pour ses processus et procédures internes et peut utiliser, traiter et divulguer ces informations à (i) toute autorité gouvernementale ou réglementaire applicable, comme l'exige la loi applicable, et (ii) tout fournisseur de services professionnels ou de services financiers exigeant ces informations de la Société aux mêmes fins que celles énoncées dans le présent Article 6, à condition que ce fournisseur de services professionnels ou de services financiers reste tenu dans la mesure du possible et conformément aux pratiques du secteur, de préserver la confidentialité de ces informations.
6.10 Si un actionnaire ou un Titulaire manque de communiquer les informations demandées par le Conseil conformément au présent article 6.9 dans un délai de deux (2) mois à compter de la date de cette demande, ou communique des informations que le Conseil a des motifs raisonnables de croire erronées ou incomplètes (chacune de ces circonstances étant désignée comme un « Manquement KYC »), le Conseil peut suspendre les droits de vote de cette personne jusqu'à ce qu'elle se soit pleinement conformée à ses obligations. Dans le cas où un Titulaire commet un Manquement KYC et lorsque les Actions pour lesquelles le Titulaire dispose de droits de vote indirects sont inscrites au Registre au nom d'un Dépositaire, le Conseil continuera à reconnaître les droits de vote attachés à toutes les autres Actions inscrites au nom dudit Dépositaire qui ne sont pas détenues pour le compte du Titulaire en infraction.
Art. 7. Cession d'Actions
7.1 Les Actions de la Société et les Certificats de Dépôt émis par un Dépositaire à un Titulaire en échange d'Actions de la Société sont librement cessibles.
7.2 Une Cession d'Actions s'effectue par l'inscription d'une déclaration de cession dans le registre, dûment signée et datée :
(iv) à la fois le cédant et le cessionnaire ou leurs représentants autorisés ; ou
(v) tout représentant autorisé de la Société ;
(vi) après une notification à la Société ou une acceptation par celle-ci, conformément à l'article 1690 du Code civil luxembourgeois.
7.3 Tout document constatant l'accord entre le cédant et le cessionnaire, valablement signé par les deux parties, peut être accepté par la Société comme preuve d'une Cession d'Actions.
7.4 La confirmation qu'une inscription a été faite dans le Registre sera fournie à l'actionnaire ou aux actionnaires directement inscrits comme tels dans le Registre, à la demande de cet ou ces actionnaires.
24
7.5 La Cession des Certificats de Dépôt s'effectuera par inscription dans les registres du Dépositaire concerné, conformément aux règles de ce Dépositaire.
7.6 Toutes les Cessions doivent être effectuées conformément aux conditions énoncées dans les présents Statuts.

9.6 The purchase price shall be paid in cash exclusively, and the Squeeze-Out Beneficiary shall pay for the Securities subject to the Squeeze-Out by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the Squeeze-Out Closing Date, the effectiveness of the transfer of Securities pursuant to the Squeeze-Out being subject to the completion of such wire transfer. If a Squeeze-Out Seller has failed to take the necessary actions to Transfer the Securities, the Securities held by such Squeeze-Out Seller shall automatically be considered Transferred to
9
the Squeeze-Out Beneficiary on the Squeeze-Out Closing Date if the Squeeze-Out Buyer has deposited the payment to a bank account with separation rights for the such Squeeze-Out Seller(s), the Squeeze-Out Notice constituting the operative transfer instrument.
9.7 In case of any disagreement on the price to be paid for the Securities, transfer of ownership shall be completed pursuant to art 9.6, with any adjustment in such price to be paid from/to the Squeeze-Out Seller following a final determination of the price by the relevant Expert.

Le montant du compte de prime d'émission peut, par exemple, être utilisé pour le paiement des Actions que la Société peut racheter à ses actionnaires, pour compenser toute perte nette réalisée ou pour effectuer des distributions aux actionnaires, cette liste étant une liste non exhaustive des objectifs pour lesquels le montant du compte de prime peut être utilisé, à condition que le montant du compte de prime d'émission ainsi utilisé soit fourni ou alloué au prorata entre les actionnaires de
28
manière cohérente avec le paiement de dividendes conformément à la Section VI.
6.7 La Société peut maintenir un compte de réserve spéciale générale de capitaux propres (compte 115 « apport en capitaux propres non rémunéré par des titres » du plan comptable luxembourgeois prévu par le règlement grand-ducal du 12 septembre 2019). Le montant dudit compte de réserve spéciale générale de capitaux propres constituera des réserves librement distribuables de la Société.

6.8 Dans les limites et conditions prévues par la Loi, la Société peut racheter les Actions ou les faire racheter par ses filiales.
6.9 Le Conseil est autorisé à exiger des actionnaires ou des Titulaires et tout actionnaire ou Titulaire est tenu, dans la mesure du possible, de coopérer et fournir tous les documents et informations dont la Société pourrait avoir besoin pour permettre à la Société de se conformer aux conditions légales ci-après, dans la mesure où elles sont applicables à la Société : (i) aux lois ou réglementations applicables en matière de connaissance du client (KYC), (ii) aux procédures et réglementations en matière de lutte contre le blanchiment d'argent, (iii) aux obligations de déclaration et de dépôt des bénéficiaires effectifs conformément à la loi luxembourgeoise du 13 janvier 2019 créant le registre des bénéficiaires effectifs, telle que modifiée de temps à autre, (iv) à toute autre obligation prévue par la loi applicable en matière d'identification et de vérification des bénéficiaires effectifs de la Société ou qui pourrait être requise par la Société pour identifier la nature et la source des financements mis à disposition de la Société.

6.10 Si un actionnaire ou un Titulaire manque de communiquer les informations demandées par le Conseil conformément au présent article 6.9 dans un délai de deux (2) mois à compter de la date de cette demande, ou communique des informations que le Conseil a des motifs raisonnables de croire erronées ou incomplètes (chacune de ces circonstances étant désignée comme un « Manquement KYC »), le Conseil peut suspendre les droits de vote de cette personne jusqu'à ce qu'elle se soit pleinement conformée à ses obligations.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE PURPOSES OF ARTICLE 441-7 AND OF ARTICLE 420-26 (5) OF THE LUXEMBOURG LAW ON COMMERCIAL COMPANIES OF 10 AUGUST 1915, AS AMENDED DATED 23 MARCH 2026
Dear Shareholders,
Pursuant to the convening notice to be published on 24 March 2026, the board of directors of the Company (the Board), invites the shareholders of the Company to resolve inter alia on:
a) the acknowledgment of the financial conflict of interest of Maria Gordon, Jorge Tagle, Jaap Jan Prins and Bruno Serapião with respect to certain items (as detailed in section A below) which are submitted to the Company's shareholders for a decision at the occasion of an annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the AGM) and, as applicable, of an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the EGM, together with the AGM, the General Meetings); and
b) new authorizations under the authorised share capital for a primary offering and a management incentive plan (the Relevant Amendments), at the occasion of an EGM.
Insofar as not indicated otherwise, capitalized terms in this report shall take the meaning ascribed to them in the articles of association of the Company (the Articles).
According to article 441-7 of the Luxembourg law dated 10 August 1915 relating to commercial companies, as amended (the Law), any director who has a direct or indirect financial interest in a decision or transaction by the board of directors which conflicts with the company's interests must inform the board of the conflict of interest and may not take part in the relevant deliberations of the board. The items on which a director has a conflict of interest, must be specially reported at the next following general meeting of the shareholders, before any other resolution is put to the vote.
Through the current report the shareholders are informed of the conflict of interest of Maria Gordon, Jorge Tagle, Jaap Jan Prins and Bruno Serapião with respect to the Submitted Items (as defined below) which relate to matters concerning remuneration and equity allocation to Board members and, as such, fall within the competence of the shareholders of the Company and were therefore submitted by the Board to the shareholders of the Company for approval (the Conflict-of-Interest Report).
Separately, according to article 420-26 (5) of the Law, if a general meeting is called to resolve upon the proposal to limit or suppress any preferential subscription rights of the existing shareholders or to authorise the board of directors of a public limited liability company (société anonyme) to do so, the reason for this and in particular the proposed issuance price for the shares must be set out in a report to be prepared by the board of directors of such company (the Authorised Capital Report, together with the Conflict-of-Interest Report, the Board Report). The Authorised Capital Report must be submitted to the general meeting of the shareholders.
A. Conflict of interest of Maria Gordon, Jorge Tagle, Jaap Jan Prins and Bruno Serapião with respect to the Submitted Items (as defined below)
The Board is hereby informing the shareholders of the Company that some of the directors of the Company, more precisely Maria Gordon, Jorge Tagle, Jaap Jan Prins and Bruno Serapião, have declared a potential conflict of interest during the Board meeting held on 23 March 2026 with respect to the following items:
(i) the consideration of the definition of Liquidity Event in line with the terms set out in resolution 18 of the draft Proposed Resolutions and Explanatory Notes for the AGM; and
(ii) the amendment to the authorized share capital in relation to the management incentive plan for certain members of the Board and other eligible persons previously approved by the shareholders (the MIP) as further set out in resolution 2 of the draft Proposed Resolutions and Explanatory Notes for the EGM so as to inter alia issue additional shares of the Company to the beneficiaries of the BOD MIP (defined in the Proposed Resolutions and Explanatory Notes as Contingent Equity Portion)
(together the Submitted Items).
In respect of the Submitted Items, Maria Gordon, Jorge Tagle, Jaap Jan Prins and Bruno Serapião acknowledged that they have a potential conflict of interest as they are beneficiaries under the BOD MIP. Given that the Submitted Items relate to matters concerning remuneration and equity allocation to Board members and, as such, fall within the competence of the shareholders of the Company, they are submitted by the Board to the shareholders of the Company for approval. The Submitted Items have been included in the General Meetings convening notice under item 18 of the AGM agenda and item 2 of the EGM agenda.
In this context and in accordance with Article 441-7 of the Law, the shareholders are invited to acknowledge that they have been informed by the Board on the conflict of interest of Maria Gordon, Jorge Tagle, Jaap Jan Prins and Bruno Serapião with respect to the Submitted Items.
B. Authorizations under the authorised share capital for a primary offering and a management incentive plan
I. INTRODUCTION
The Board, subject to the approval at the General Meeting of the Relevant Amendments, may need to increase the Company's share capital and issue additional ordinary registered shares of the Company, with a nominal value of USD 0.18 (the Shares) for the purpose of:
(i) issuances of Shares in the context of an offering of its Shares or Depository Receipts (as this term is defined in the Company's articles of association) by the Company and listing of such Shares or Depository Receipts by the Company on the Main Market (Euronext Oslo Børs (mainlist) or Euronext Expand) of the Euronext Oslo Børs (the Main Market of the OSE), whereby the Board shall be authorised to utilise the authorised share capital to increase the share capital of the Company, once or more, by a maximum amount of sixty eight thousand one hundred eighty five United States dollars and twenty six cents (USD 68,185.26), by issuing a maximum of three hundred seventy eight thousand eight hundred seven (378,807) Shares;
(ii) issuances of Shares, with or without consideration, for the purpose of settling in part the cash entitlements of eligible Board members and other eligible persons under the MIP, by way of issuance of Shares in lieu of cash payment to such eligible Board members and other eligible persons, once or more, by a maximum amount of one hundred fifty-three thousand five hundred twenty-seven United States dollars and four cents (USD 153,527.04), by issuing a maximum of eight hundred fifty-two thousand nine hundred twenty-eight (852,928) Shares.
In this regard, the Board requires flexibility as to the timing and opportunity to issue such Shares and therefore proposes to the General Meeting, as part of the Relevant Amendments, to amend and restate the articles of association of the Company (the Articles) relating to the authorised share capital to authorize issuances of Shares for two new purposes: the primary offering and the management incentive plan, and therefore to:
(i) authorise the Board to utilise the authorised share capital to increase the share capital of the Company, once or more, up to the limits and for purposes as set out hereabove;
(ii) increase the current share capital of the Company one or more times up to and within the limits of the Company's authorised capital by the issuance of any of the above-mentioned new Shares, with or without share premium, against payment in cash or in kind, by conversion of claims on the Company or share premium or in any other manner (including for free);
(iii) limit or suppress the shareholders' preferential subscription rights to any new Shares and determine the person(s) who are authorised to subscribe to any new Shares; and
(iv) record each share capital increase by way of a notarial deed and amend the shareholders’ register of the Company accordingly.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED AUTHORISATION TO THE BOARD
The Board proposes that the General Meeting renews the existing authorised capital and approves the following amendments to the current articles 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.8 (second paragraph of which will become new article 5.9) of the Articles:
5.2 The Board shall have the right to raise the share capital of the Company up to an amount of two million three hundred forty nine thousand five hundred ninety seven United States dollars and seventy eight cents (USD 2,349,597.78), by issuing a maximum of thirteen million fifty-three thousand three hundred twenty-one (13,053,321) Shares (such aforementioned Shares and authorised share capital, excluding the issued Shares and share capital of the Company, the “Authorised Share Capital”).
5.3 The Authorised Share Capital may only be used for the following purposes:
5.3.1 issuances of Shares in the context and in accordance with the terms of the Warrants in effect as of 12 December 2024, whereby the Board shall be authorised to utilise the Authorised Share Capital to increase the share capital of the Company, once or more, by a maximum amount of one million eight hundred twenty-three thousand nine hundred and one United States dollars and eighty-four cents (USD 1,823,901.84), by issuing a maximum of ten million one hundred thirty-two thousand seven hundred eighty-eight (10,132,788) Shares (the “Warrant Shares Issuances”);
5.3.2 issuances of Shares in the context of the a long term incentive plan, to be adopted by and in the discretion of the Board in the context and within the limits of the Authorised Share Capital (the “LTI”), which may include allocation of stock options, warrants, restricted stock units (RSUs), or other forms of equity compensation to executives of the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries, whereby the Board shall be authorised to utilise the Authorised Share Capital to increase the share capital of the Company, once or more, by a maximum amount of three hundred three thousand nine hundred eighty-three United States dollars and sixty-four cents (USD 303,983.64), by issuing a maximum of one million six hundred eighty-eight thousand seven hundred ninety-eight (1,688,798) Shares (the “LTI Issuances”);
5.3.3. issuances of Shares in the context of an offering of its Shares or Depository Receipts (as this term is defined below) by the Company and listing of such Shares or Depository Receipts by the Company on the Main Market of the OSE, whereby the Board shall be authorised to utilise the Authorised Share Capital to increase the share capital of the Company, once or more, by a maximum amount of sixty eight thousand one hundred eighty five United States dollars and twenty six cents (USD 68,185.26), by issuing a maximum of three hundred seventy eight thousand eight hundred seven (378,807) Shares (the “Uplisting Issuances”);
5.3.4. issuances of Shares, with or without consideration, for the purpose of settling in part the cash entitlements of eligible Board members under the management incentive plan previously approved by the shareholders (the “BoD MIP”), by way of delivery of
Shares in lieu of cash payment to such eligible Board members and to issue Shares to the Board members, management of the Company and other eligible persons in connection with the management incentive plan (the “MIP”), once or more, by a maximum amount of one hundred fifty-three thousand five hundred twenty-seven United States dollars and four cents (USD 153,527.04), by issuing a maximum of eight hundred fifty-two thousand nine hundred twenty-eight (852,928) Shares (the “MIP Shares Issuances”, and together with the Warrant Share Issuances, the LTI Issuances and the Uplisting Issuances, the “Authorised Share Capital Issuances”).
5.4 For a period of five (5) years starting from (i) as regards articles 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 above, the date of the deed of amendment dated 19 June 2025 amending the Authorised Share Capital and (ii) as regards articles 5.3.3 and 5.3.4 above, the date of the deed of amendment dated 14 April 2026 amending the Authorised Share Capital, and within the limits of the Authorised Share Capital set out under Article 5.3 and further subject to Article 5.7, the Board is authorised (i) to increase the current share capital of the Company one or more times by the issuance of any of the above-mentioned new Shares, with or without share premium, against payment in cash or in kind, by conversion of claims on the Company or share premium or in any other manner (including for free); and (ii) to limit or cancel the preferential subscription rights of existing shareholders otherwise applicable to such issuance, it being understood that the authorization to issue Shares without consideration as set out in article 5.3.4 shall automatically entail, for the benefit of the beneficiaries of the free shares, a waiver by the existing shareholders of their preferential subscription rights as per the Law.
5.9 The Shareholders shall have preemptive subscription rights upon the issuance of Shares in accordance with the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. However, the Board is authorized to limit or cancel preemptive subscription rights in connection with the Authorised Share Capital Issuances.”
III. PURPOSE OF THE ENVISAGED LIMITATION AND REASONING
The Board considers that the Relevant Amendments, as outlined above, and corresponding authorization to the Board to suppress or limit preferential subscription rights is necessary for the following reasons:
(i) Uplisting on the Main Market: In the context of a contemplated primary offering of the Company’s Shares or Depository Receipts and the listing of such Shares or Depository Receipts on the Main Market (the Uplisting), the Company requires sufficient flexibility to implement such a transaction in accordance with applicable market practice and rules. In particular, the Company intends, in connection with the Uplisting, to broaden its shareholder base so as to meet the shareholder distribution criteria applicable for admission to trading on the Main Market, including the requirement to have at least 500 shareholders. To that end, the Board considers that a primary offering by the Company may be required. The contemplated size of such primary offering would be up to USD 5,000,000 (or the equivalent amount in other currencies). Given that the timing, structure and final size of any such primary offering will depend on market conditions and regulatory and exchange processes, the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to obtain the relevant shareholder authorisations in advance, so that, if and when the Company decides to proceed with the Uplisting, the issuance of new Shares can be implemented without undue delay. Accordingly, the Board requires the authority (x) to increase the share capital of the Company, once
or more, in a timely manner and (y) to limit or cancel preferential subscription rights of shareholders in connection with such issuance.
The Board further believes that the Uplisting may be beneficial to the Company as it is expected to (a) improve trading liquidity and broaden the investor base by providing access to a larger and more diverse pool of Norwegian and international investors, (b) enhance the Company's visibility, credibility and market profile by moving to a regulated market, (c) strengthen the Company's ability to raise equity capital in the future and potentially reduce the cost of capital over time through improved market access and liquidity, and (d) provide the Company with a more efficient equity currency for potential strategic transactions and employee incentive arrangements. The Board notes that the realisation of these potential benefits will depend on market conditions and the Company's ability to satisfy applicable regulatory and exchange requirements.
The share price for issuances in the context of the Uplisting will be determined at the time of the relevant offering, based on the outcome of the bookbuilding process and in accordance with prevailing market practice and market conditions, and shall be near or in the range between the nominal value of such Shares and the fair market value of such Shares.
(ii) Modification of Settlement Mechanism under the Management Incentive Plan: The management incentive plan for certain members of the Board and other eligible persons (the MIP), including the board members' management incentive plan (the BoD MIP, as such term is defined in the annex to the minutes of the general meeting of shareholders of the Company held on 30 June 2022), has been duly approved by the shareholders and entitles eligible participants to receive awards upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event.
Under the current terms of the MIP, as amended by the MIP term sheet approved by the general meeting of shareholders on 12 December 2024, the entitlements of eligible members of the Board under the BoD MIP are denominated and payable exclusively in cash. The Board now proposes to introduce the option for the Company to settle such cash entitlements up to 50% and at the eligible person's choice, through the issuance and delivery of Shares, subject to the terms and conditions of the MIP and applicable law. Any such settlement in Shares would require the Company to issue new Shares to the relevant beneficiaries with or without consideration and, accordingly, the Board requires the authority to increase the share capital and to limit or cancel existing shareholders' preferential subscription rights in connection with such issuance. The issue price for any Shares issued for these purposes shall be determined at the relevant time in accordance with the applicable terms of the MIP and prevailing market practice, taking into account the fair market value of the Shares (including, as applicable, by reference to the market value of any depository receipts listed on the Main Market of the OSE) and may range from USD 0 (in case of Shares granted for free in accordance with the Law) and the fair market value of the Shares as aforementioned. In addition, for the portion of the cash entitlement that is voluntarily converted into Shares by an eligible Board member and other eligible persons (the Base Equity Component), the Board proposes to grant a supplemental equity component equal to thirty percent (30%) of the converted base amount (the Supplemental Equity Component). Both the Base Equity Component and the Supplemental Equity Component would be granted in the form of Shares that are subject to a lock-up period of 12 months as of their issuance. The issuance of Shares pursuant to the Base Equity Component and the Supplemental Equity Component would likewise require the authority to increase the share capital and to limit or cancel existing shareholders' preferential subscription rights.

The Board considers that the proposed settlement mechanism, including the option to satisfy cash entitlements through the delivery of Shares and the granting of the Supplemental Equity Component for voluntarily converted amounts, serves the Company's strategic and financial interests for the following reasons: (a) it mitigates immediate cash outflows at or around the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, thereby preserving liquidity during a transaction-critical period; (b) it enhances balance sheet flexibility and optimizes capital allocation by reducing cash disbursements while maintaining the economic substance of the entitlements under the MIP; and (c) it strengthens governance and promotes long-term value creation by aligning the interests of eligible Board members and other eligible persons with those of shareholders through meaningful equity ownership subject to lock-up. The Supplemental Equity Component is specifically designed to compensate the eligible participants for the restrictions and illiquidity resulting from the 12- month lock-up period applicable to the Shares received, which is consistent with customary market practice for equity-based incentive arrangements involving transfer restrictions. Furthermore, the Board notes that, under this new structure, members of the Board who elect to receive Shares will become equity holders of the Company on terms comparable to those applicable to the Company's management, who already receive a portion of their entitlements under the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTI) in the form of Shares. This alignment between the Board and management reinforces a shared commitment to long-term value creation and demonstrates the Board's genuine interest in being aligned with the interests of the shareholders. The Board further notes that any election by eligible Board members, management and other eligible persons to receive Shares in lieu of cash constitutes a material modification of the economic terms of their award, as such election entails (i) the relinquishment of guaranteed liquidity and immediate cash realization, (ii) exposure to share price volatility and market risk, (iii) transfer restrictions and limitations on liquidity, and (iv) downside exposure inherent in equity ownership, particularly in a cyclical industry.
The Board believes that the proposed extension of the authorized share capital to include the new authorizations for the Uplisting and the MIP, including the authority to limit or cancel preferential subscription rights, is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, as it provides the necessary flexibility to implement the Uplisting and the MIP, complementing the existing authorizations for the Warrants and the LTI.
