I vedlegg 1 sak 12 vil aksjeeierne finne Styrets forslag til vedtak for den foreslåtte fullmakten til Styret om utbetaling av utbytte.

Styret foreslår at Styret gis fullmakt til å forhøye Selskapets aksjekapital med inntil NOK 24 385 818 tilsvarende 10 prosent av aksjekapitalen. Styret ønsker å beholde finansiell fleksibilitet til å fortsette å utvikle virksomheten i samsvar med dets strategiske investeringsprogram og potensielle transaksjoner. Det følger av den foreslåtte fullmakten at aksjeeiernes fortrinnsrett til å tegne de nye aksjene vil kunne bli fraveket, og at fullmakten vil kunne omfatte kapitalforhøyelse mot innskudd i andre eiendeler enn penger.

I vedlegg 1 sak 13 vil aksjeeierne finne Styrets forslag til vedtak for den foreslåtte fullmakten til Styret til å forhøye aksjekapitalen.

Styret foreslår at Styret gis fullmakt i henhold til allmennaksjeloven § 9-4 til å erverve egne aksjer med samlet pålydende verdi på inntil NOK 24 385 818. Dersom Selskapet avhender eller sletter egne aksjer ervervet under fullmakten skal dette beløpet forhøyes med et beløp tilsvarende pålydende verdi av de avhendede eller slettede aksjene. Egne aksjer ervervet under fullmakten kan bli benyttet som vederlag i forbindelse med mulig oppkjøp eller andre strategiske investeringer.

If the Company disposes of or cancels its own shares acquired pursuant to the authorisation, this amount shall be increased by an amount equal to the nominal value of the shares disposed of or cancelled. Treasury shares acquired under the authorisation may be used as consideration in potential acquisitions or other strategic investments.

Shareholders will find the Board's proposal for resolution regarding the proposed authorisation to the Board to acquire treasury shares in item 14 of Appendix 1.

15. Authorisation to the Board to issue convertible bonds

The Board proposes that the Board be granted authorisation to issue one or several convertible bonds.

Aksjeeiere som har tildelt fullmakt eller avgitt forhåndsstemme før den ordinære generalforsamlingen vil ikke kunne stemme i den ordinære generalforsamlingen.

Siden stemmegivning og kommunikasjon på den ordinære generalforsamlingen skjer elektronisk, vil forsinkelser kunne oppstå. I sjeldne tilfeller vil slike forsinkelser kunne vare i inntil ett minutt.

GUIDELINES ON THE REMUNERATION OF LEADING PERSONNEL

1. INTRODUCTION

These guidelines have been prepared in accordance with section 6-16a of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act (the "Companies Act") by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of DNO ASA ("DNO").

The guidelines outline the main principles for salary and other remuneration of leading personnel in DNO. DNO's leading personnel includes the persons covered by section 6-16a of the Companies Act and section 7-31b of the Norwegian Accounting Act, i.e., (i) the directors of the Board (including the Board committees), (ii) the members of the Nomination Committee, (iii) DNO's managing director (the "Managing Director") and (iv) other members of DNO's senior management as defined on DNO's web pages (together with the Managing Director, the "Senior Management").

Section 5-6 (3) of the Companies Act provides that the guidelines shall be approved by the general meeting. The general meeting shall also approve any material amendment to previously approved guidelines and the guidelines shall in any event be presented to the general meeting for approval at least every fourth year.

Once approved by the general meeting the guidelines on remuneration are applicable to new remuneration agreements and to amendments to remuneration previously agreed.

Approved guidelines will be made available on DNO's web page: www.dno.no.

These guidelines were approved by DNO's Annual General Meeting of 25 May 2022.

2. PURPOSE AND KEY CONSIDERATIONS

These guidelines have been prepared with the aim of contributing to the implementation of DNO's overall business strategy in order to achieve DNO's long-term objectives and maximize value creation for the company and its shareholders by attracting, retaining and motivating highly qualified employees.

Salary and other remuneration of leading personnel shall be on competitive terms reflecting market conditions and taking into account the respective individual's duties and responsibilities.

The Board has considered actual and potential conflicts of interest in preparing and maintaining these guidelines. No such conflicts of interest were identified. In case of future actual or potential conflicts of interest, the Board will consider reasonable mitigating measures.

The Board has established a Remuneration Committee as an advisory and preparatory body for the Board in matters concerning remuneration. The Remuneration Committee will evaluate these guidelines on a regular basis and present proposals to the Board for amendments as and when appropriate.

3. REMUNERATION OF THE BOARD AND OF THE NOMINATION COMMITTEE

3.1 Process

The general meeting approves the remuneration of the directors of the Board (including the Board committees) and of the members of the Nomination Committee. The remuneration will normally be approved on an annual basis by the annual general meeting.

The general meeting considers remuneration proposals presented by the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee is elected by the general meeting and the committee's work is governed by the Company's Articles of Association and by guidelines approved by the general meeting.

The Nomination Committee's proposals will be included in the notice of the annual general meeting or such other general meeting where the remuneration of the Board and of the Nomination Committee shall be considered.

3.2 Types of remuneration

The remuneration of the directors of the Board and of the members of the Nomination Committee shall consist of a fixed annual amount or a fixed amount per meeting. Directors of the Board who also serve on the Board committees may receive additional compensation for such work. The remuneration will be payable in cash.

DNO may reimburse travel expenses and other relevant expenses incurred by the directors of the Board and by the members of the Nomination Committee in connection with the performance of their duties.

Directors of the Board and the members of the Nomination Committee shall not receive any variable or performance-based remuneration, or stock options or other remuneration linked to DNO's shares for their work in such capacities.

Directors of the Board and the members of the Nomination Committee are not members of DNO's pension schemes and do not have any rights to pension from DNO for their work in such capacities.

3.3 Agreements with directors of the Board and termination of appointment

DNO does not normally enter into agreements with the directors of the Board in their capacity as directors or in connection therewith.

According to section 6-7(2) of the Companies Act, the general meeting can remove any director of the Board at its discretion at any time with immediate effect by a simple majority vote. Directors of the Board are not entitled to any compensation upon termination of their appointment as directors.

4. REMUNERATION OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT

4.1 Remuneration Committee

According to its mandate, the Remuneration Committee shall inter alia conduct an annual performance review and recommend proposals for remuneration of the Managing Director, including base salary adjustments, incentive plans and/or other benefits. Such proposals shall be brought before the Board for its collective consideration.

The Remuneration Committee shall also advise on the Managing Director's proposal for compensation of the other members of Senior Management and the framework for the yearly compensation to employees.

4.2 Process and types of remuneration

After consulting with the Remuneration Committee, the Managing Director determines the remuneration of the other members of Senior Management based on these guidelines and any budgetary limits or other relevant decisions of the Board.

The remuneration of Senior Management may consist of the following components:

  • (i) fixed cash remuneration;
  • (ii) variable cash remuneration;
  • (iii) synthetic shares as set out in section 4.5 below or other share-based incentives; and
  • (iv) pension benefits and other customary benefits and programs.

4.3 Fixed cash remuneration

Senior Management's fixed cash remuneration shall be reviewed annually.

Senior Management's fixed cash remuneration shall be based on the individual's experience, responsibilities and performance and shall be on competitive terms, in line with market conditions and otherwise in accordance with these guidelines.

4.4 Variable cash remuneration

DNO's variable remuneration is an incentive-based annual cash bonus program that shall reflect the Company's business strategy, long-term interests and sustainable business practices.

The annual bonuses shall be based on the fulfilment of key performance indicators ("KPIs"), both at the company level through established corporate targets and on an individual level within the individual's area of responsibility. The KPIs may consist of both general financial goals and individual goals for each member of Senior Management. The KPIs may include financial, operational, strategic, functional, initiative-based, social, corporate, environmental or other targets, goals, criteria and objectives aligned with DNO's strategy and interests.

The KPIs for the Managing Director shall be determined by the Board based on a recommendation from the Remuneration Committee. The KPIs for the other members of Senior Management shall be established by the Managing Director after consulting with the Remuneration Committee. The target bonus level for the respective members of Senior Management may be detailed in their employment contracts.

Achievement of the KPIs and the level of the potential annual bonus is evaluated after the end of each financial year and any bonus is paid as an annual remuneration. The Managing Director's level of achievement and the potential bonus payable to the Managing Director is determined by the Board after recommendation from the Remuneration Committee. The level of achievement for the other members of Senior Management and the individual bonuses shall be determined by the Managing Director after consulting with the Remuneration Committee.

Any payment of variable cash remuneration is conditional on the individual member of Senior Management being employed at the time of payment. If a member of Senior Management retires during the period, a bonus may be paid subject to individual agreement.

The incentive-based annual cash bonus program is subject to an overall cap and may not exceed the individual's fixed annual cash salary.

The Company may demand variable cash salary refunded to the same extent it may demand fixed cash salary refunded following expiry of the employment, typically in the event of erroneous payments or breach of contractual obligations.

4.5 Synthetic share scheme

DNO has established a synthetic share scheme (the "Synthetic Share Scheme"). The purpose of the scheme is to: (i) align the interests of Senior Management (and other employees) with those of shareholders; (ii) reward value creation; and (iii) provide retention incentives.

A participant under the Synthetic Share Scheme will receive synthetic shares that entitle its holder to receive the market value of the equivalent number of shares in DNO. The synthetic shares do not confer shareholder rights on its holders and cannot be transferred or settled in any other way than as described under the award agreement.

Eligible participants in the Synthetic Share Scheme are employees of DNO or DNO's subsidiaries.

Awards of synthetic shares to members of Senior Management are based on established KPIs, see section 4.4 above.

The award of synthetic shares shall be subject to an award agreement stipulating relevant terms, conditions and limitations.

The synthetic shares are subject to a vesting period as set out in the award agreement and will normally expire three years following the vesting date.

The synthetic shares will be settled at the closing price of DNO shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange on the last Norwegian business day in the relevant settlement period. Payment takes place through payroll.

Awards under the Synthetic Share Scheme is subject to an overall cap and may not normally exceed the individual's fixed annual cash salary.

4.6 Pension schemes and other customary benefits

The remuneration of Senior Management may include customary benefits in kind such as mobile phone, broadband costs and newspaper subscriptions paid in accordance with established rates. Any other customary benefits may be subject to change.

4.7 Remuneration in extraordinary circumstances

In extraordinary circumstances, members of Senior Management may be granted additional remuneration and/or remuneration of a different character than set out above.

DNO ASA

2021 REMUNERATION REPORT

1. Introduction

This remuneration report (the "Report") provides an overview of remuneration of leading personnel in DNO ASA (the "Company") for 2021. The Report is based on the Company's existing guidelines and practice for remuneration of leading personnel. The Company will adopt new remuneration guidelines pursuant to section 6-16a of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act (the "Companies Act") at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 25 May 2022.

The main purpose of the Company's remuneration policy is to contribute to the implementation of the Company's overall business strategy in order to achieve the Company's long-term objectives and maximize value creation for the Company and its shareholders by attracting, retaining and motivating highly qualified employees.

This Report complies with the requirements under sections 6-16a and 16-6b of the Companies Act. Pursuant to section 6-16b (2) of the Act, the Report will be presented to the 2022 Annual General Meeting for consultative vote.

The Report is available on the Company's website for ten years from the time of publication.

2. Overview of financial year 2021

On the fiftieth anniversary of its founding, DNO1 reported record revenues exceeding USD 1 billion in 2021, up 63 percent from a year earlier on the back of high oil and gas prices and solid production performance. Annual operating profit climbed to USD 321 million, reversing an operating loss of USD 315 million in 2020. Strong 2021 free cash flow of USD 362 million drove a 68 percent reduction in net debt to USD 153 million at yearend.

Notwithstanding reduced drilling activity due to the Covid-19 pandemic and related budget cuts, DNO1 managed to maintain gross operated production of 108,700 barrels of oil per day (bopd) at its flagship Tawke license in the Kurdistan region of Iraq (Kurdistan), representing 81,500 bopd net to DNO1. North Sea net production averaged 12,900 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), bringing the Company's total 2021 net production to 94,500 boepd.

Starting in the third quarter of 2021, DNO1 ramped up its drilling activity on the Tawke license, aiming to keep license production essentially unchanged in 2022. Also contributing to enhanced oil recovery within the license is the USD 110 million Peshkabir-Tawke gas project commissioned in mid-2020. During 2021, 7.6 billion cubic feet of otherwise flared gas, equivalent to 461,500 tonnes of CO2, was captured at the Peshkabir field and injected into the Tawke field for pressure support.

In late December 2021, the DNO-operated Baeshiqa license development was approved by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The project represents DNO's first new field development in Kurdistan since the start-up of Peshkabir in 2017, and as with Peshkabir, the Company is fast tracking production, targeting organic growth in Kurdistan overall.

In the North Sea, DNO1 is positioned to grow as new production comes on stream. Currently, the Company is involved in the ongoing Fenja field development as well as holding a stake in four PDOs (plan for development and operation) projects targeting 2022 sanction, including DNO1 operated Brasse. North Sea exploration continues to be prioritized following two likely commercial discoveries in 2021. Seven North Sea exploration wells are planned for 2022, all in proven basins and close to existing infrastructure.

At yearend 2021, DNO1 held 90 licenses across its portfolio. In Kurdistan, DNO1 continues to produce what are among the lowest cost barrels in the global oil and gas industry while the North Sea offers high quality exploration opportunities. With a record-high operational spend of USD 800 million planned in 2022, DNO1 remains committed to explore for and produce oil and gas in a commercially attractive but also socially responsible and environmentally sensitive manner.

3. Remuneration of the Board of Directors

The members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") receive remuneration as directors and as members of established Board committees. The general meeting approves the remuneration of the Board and the Board committees based on proposals presented by the Nomination Committee.

The remuneration reflects the Board's responsibility, competence, workload and the complexity of the business and is determined separately for the Executive Chairman, the Deputy Chairman and other directors of the Board. Additional fees are applied on a uniform basis for each director's participation in the Board committees.

The remuneration of the directors of the Board is a fixed annual fee. None of the directors have pension schemes or agreements for compensation in the event of termination of or changes to their position as directors. The Company does not grant synthetic shares to the directors of the Board.

4. Remuneration of Senior Management

The total remuneration consists of a fixed base salary, pension contribution, an annual performancebased cash bonus and awards of synthetic shares.

Remuneration types:

The remuneration of the Company's Senior Management, including the Managing Director, is subject to the evaluation and recommendation of the Remuneration Committee. The remuneration of the Company's Managing Director is evaluated annually and approved by the Board.

Any remuneration, bonuses or other incentive schemes must reflect the duties and responsibilities of the employees and add long-term value for shareholders.

Fixed remuneration: The Board did not set any upper or lower limit for the fixed salary for Senior Management for 2021 beyond the main principles set out above.

Variable remuneration: In addition to fixed salary, variable remuneration can be used to recruit, retain and reward employees. For Senior Management, such remuneration can include cash bonuses and share-based compensation. Annual bonuses, when awarded, are based on corporate results and/or individual performance.

Pensions: The Company has a contribution-based pension system under which Norway-based employees are entitled to a pension contribution of 12.5 percent of their annual salary. Any excess of the maximum legally allowable pension contribution is paid out to the employees as additional salary.

Synthetic share scheme: The Board continued its synthetic share scheme in 2021. The purpose of the scheme is to: (i) align the interests of Senior Management and other employees with those of shareholders; (ii) reward value creation; and (iii) provide retention incentives. The Board determines whether to set allocation criteria, conditions or thresholds for the scheme.

The synthetic share awards set out in the table below are subject to a two-year vesting period and require continued employment in the Company for a period of two years after the grant date/award date. The exception is 143,429 of the 146,354 shares grated to Haakon Sandborg in the 2021 award which have a three-year vesting period.

At vesting date an automatic settlement of synthetic shares for tax purposes will be performed. Subsequently, the employee can settle in cash or keep the remaining shares as unrestricted.
