The Board of Directors of Eimskipafélag Íslands hf. proposes that the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024 are approved.
3. Decision on the handling of the net earnings for 2024
The Board of Directors proposes that the Company pays a dividend of ISK 13,33 per share to shareholders for the year 2024. The proposed total amount is ISK 2.2 billion, corresponding to approximately 50.0% of the Company's net earnings. Ex-Date is 28 March 2025 1 , the Record Date is 31 March 2025 2 and the Payment Date is 29 April 2025 3 .
Notes relating to the proposal:
The Company's financial results in year 2024, strong liquidity and capital ratios at year-end support proposed dividend. The dividend policy allows for a proposed dividend of between 10% and 65% of net earnings of the previous year to be distributed to shareholders. This proposal is well within the maximum allowed dividend under the policy however the Board of Directors aims for consistency in dividend payments between years and the proposal reflects that.
4. Proposal to grant the Board of Directors an authorization to purchase own shares cf. Art. 11.2 of the Company's Articles of Association
The Board of Directors proposes that Article 11.2 of the Company's Articles of Association relating to the authorization to purchase own shares will be amended and that the following provision will replace the current article in its entirety:
"The Annual General Meeting of Eimskipafélag Íslands hf. held on 27 March 2025 grant the Board of Directors the authorization to acquire up to 10% of the Company's share capital in one or more transactions. This authorization may be used for setting up formal share repurchase programs or for the purpose of offering shareholders generally to sell their shares to the Company, through auction, provided equal treatment of shareholders is safeguarded when such offer is made. This authorization has a fixed term of 18 months and is limited so that the ownership of the Company, and subsidiaries, do not exceed 10% of the Company's share capital. The purchase price shall be in accordance with Article 55, paragraph 3 of Act No. 2/1995. Other older authorizations to purchase own shares are cancelled by accepting this authorization."

The proposal is set forth on the basis that the authorization to the Board of Directors is general and allows the Board to introduce a formal share purchase program and/or to make an offer to shareholders generally to sell their shares to the company through an offering, provided equal treatment of shareholders is safeguarded.
