Golden Energy Offshore Services AS (the "Company") has summoned an extraordinary general meeting on 24 November 2023 (the "General Meeting"). In relation to the General Meeting, the Nomination Committee (the "Committee") submits the following recommendation:
The Committee is by the General Meeting given mandate to evaluate and recommend candidates for shareholder appointed directors, for nomination committee members, as well as to propose remuneration to the board of directors and the Committee.
Geir Gustavsson constitutes the Nomination Committee of the Company as chair and sole member.
Following the completion of the private placement in the Company – as separately announced – the shift in the shareholders have warranted an assessment of the composition of the board of directors. Following discussions with the major shareholders and subject to assessment by the Committee, the Committee has decided to propose that the board of directors should be composed as follows (new directors underlined):
Guillome Bayol is a managing director in Oaktree GFI Energy Group and has a B.B.A. degree with a major in finance from ESSEC Business School in France. Bayol has extensive experience in the energy sector through his work with Oaktree, and also experience as a board member in inter alia Sølvtrans AS, OEG and OSM Maritime.
Atef Abou Merhi is a managing director with Pelagic Partners, where he is also one of the founding members. Merhi holds a BSc (Hons) in Ship and Port Management and an MBA Southampton Solent University and an MBA from IE Business School in Madrid. He has extensive experience in the shipping industry and has also served as a director in Abou Merhi Lines.
The Committee proposes that the General Meeting passes the following resolution:
"Guillaume Bayol and Atef Abou Merhi shall be elected as new directors. Sten Gustafson shall resign from the board with effect as of this resolution.
Following this resolution, the board of directors shall consist of:
The period of service for Bayol and Merhi shall be until the annual general meeting of the company in 2024, aligning with the service period of the remaining directors."
The Committee would like to thank Sten Gustafson for his work as chairman for the Company up until now. His contribution to the board and the Company has been immensely valuable for the development of the business of the Company, and also instrumental in achieving the transformational growth of the Company through new acquisitions and newly completed financing of the Company.
