12. BOARD PROXY TO INCREASE THE SHARE CAPITAL Introduction

It is desirable that the Company is able to potentially acquire further businesses with consideration being made by an issue of its shares, and issue shares for other purposes in the best interest of the Company.

Based on this, the Board of Directors proposed to establish new proxy to increase the share capital.

12.1 Board proxy to increase the share capital - Acquisition of businesses, including mergers, and for any other corporate purposes

On this basis the Board proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolution:

"The Board is granted the authority to increase the share capital by up to NOK 1 666 278 (representing up to 16 662 780 shares) being in one or more issuances.

Shares may be issued in connection with acquisition of businesses including mergers, and for any other corporate purposes.

The Board shall determine the subscription terms and other conditions.

The Board's decision to increase the share capital according to the proxy must be unanimous.

The authorization comprises capital increase by non-cash payment or rights to charge the company with special obligations. The authorization comprises resolutions regarding mergers.

Existing shareholder's preferential rights to subscribe for shares may be waived by the Board pursuant to this authority.

The authorization may also be used in the events described in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act Section 6-17 (2).

The authorization shall be valid until the Company's ordinary general meeting in 2019, though no longer than until 30 June 2019.

This proxy replaces the previous authorization, dated 20 April 2017."

Existing shareholder's preferential rights to subscribe for shares may be waived by the Board pursuant to this authority.

The authorization shall be valid until the Company's ordinary general meeting in 2019, though no longer than until 30 June 2019."

13. BOARD PROXY TO ACQUIRE OWN SHARES Introduction

According to the Public Limited Companies Act, Section 9-4, the Board of Directors can be given proxy to acquire shares in the Company. Such proxy would give the Board the opportunity to take advantage of the financial instruments and mechanisms provided by the Public Limited Companies Act. Buy-back of the Company's shares, with subsequent cancellation, may be an important aid for optimizing the Company's financial structure, in addition for use in connection with incentive programs.

The Board therefore proposes that the General Meeting give the Board authorization to acquire shares in the Company, with a total nominal value corresponding to 10 % of the Company's registered

share capital.

Treasury shares obtained by the Company can be used (i) in connection with acquisitions, mergers, de-mergers or other transfers of business, (ii) in connection with the share program for employees, or (iii) for the purpose of subsequent deletion of shares by reduction of the registered share capital with the General Meetings resolution.

13.1 Board proxy to acquire own shares in connection with acquisitions, mergers, de-mergers or other transfers of business The Board proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolution:

"1. The Board of Directors is given authorization to acquire shares in the Company, on one or several occasions, up to a total par value share value of NOK 1 666 278.

2. The power of attorney may only be used for the purpose of utilizing the Company`s shares as transaction currency in acquisitions, mergers, de-mergers or other transfers of business.

3. The lowest and the highest price that can be paid for the shares according to the authorization are respectively NOK 5 and NOK 100. As to how the shares are acquired or disposed of, the board will decide at their own discretion.

4. The authorization shall be valid until the Company's ordinary general meeting in 2018, though no longer than until 30 June 2018."

13.2 Board proxy to acquire own shares in connection with the share program / share options program for employees

The Board proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolution:

"1. The Board of Directors is given authorization to acquire shares in the Company, on one or several occasions, up to a total par value share value of NOK 1 666 278.

2. The power of attorney may only be used for the purpose of sale or transfer the Company`s shares to employees/executives of the Hexagon Composites-group as part of the group's share program/ share options program, as approved by the Board of Directors.

3. The lowest and the highest price that can be paid for the shares according to the authorization are respectively NOK 5 and NOK 100. As to how the shares are acquired or disposed of, the Board will decide at their own discretion.

4. The authorization shall be valid until the Company's ordinary general meeting in 2019, though no longer than until 30 June 2019."

13.3 Board proxy to acquire own shares for the purpose of subsequent deletion of shares

The Board proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolution:

"1. The Board of Directors is given authorization to acquire shares in the Company, on one or several occasions, up to a total par value share value of NOK 1 666 278.

2. The power of attorney may only be used for the purpose of subsequent deletion of such shares.

3. The lowest and the highest price that can be paid for the shares according to the authorization are respectively NOK 5 and NOK 100. As to how the shares are acquired or disposed of, the Board will decide at their own discretion.

4. The authorization shall be valid until the Company's ordinary general meeting in 2019, though no longer than until 30 June 2019."

14. PRINCIPLES ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company's Corporate Governance principles were updated by the Board on 13 February 2018. The principles may be found at the Company's web pages: www.hexagon.no. The Board proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolution:

"The Company's Corporate Governance principles were duly noted."
