The ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of DOF ASA was held at 11:00 a.m. on 27 May, 2021, in the company's premises at Storebø in the municipality of Austevoll.

The following business was transacted:

$\blacksquare$ Opening of the general meeting

The Chair asked whether there were any comments regarding the notice of the meeting or the agenda. Since no objections were forthcoming, the notice and agenda were thus approved.

$\overline{5}$ Approval of the group contribution to Norskan AS

DOF ASA has claimed tax deduction for actual losses of the receivable against the previous subsidiary DOF Deepwater AS with a total amount of NOK 126,778,104 for the income years 2016 and 2017. In November 2020, the Norwegian Tax Administration passed a resolution in DOF's disfavour, which implied that the loss of the receivable was not approved as a tax deductible.

The consequence for the resolution was a payable tax for DOF ASA of NOK 29,787,882. On this basis, and in accordance with the Norwegian Tax Administration, it was decided to propose for the general meeting a resolution for group contribution to Norskan AS of NOK 126,779,838 to achieve an equalizing taxable effect.

The general meeting's approval of the group contribution to Norskan AS will confirm the board of director's approval of the same group contribution decided 18 December 2020, as assumed by the Norwegian Tax Administration.

Distribution of the group contribution is based on the last approved annual account for 2019, where the board of director's have assessed and concluded with that the conditions for giving group contribution is met at the relevant points of time - then as for both the relevant income years and at the time giving the group contribution, cf. Section 8-5 ref. among other Section 3-4, of the Public Limited Companies Act.

The general meeting approved the group contribution to Norskan AS of NOK 126,779,838 with 107,011,588 votes in favour and 3,000 abstained votes.
