(reg. no. 912 305 198)

1. ELECTION OF CHAIR OF THE MEETING AND ONE PERSON TO CO-SIGN THE MINUTES

2. APPROVAL OF NOTICE AND AGENDA

3. CONVERSION INTO A PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY (ASA)

The Company has applied forlisting of the shares in the Company on Oslo Stock Exchange (the "Listing"). In order to carry out the Listing, the Company will need to be converted from a private limited liability company (AS) to a public limited liability company (ASA).

En åpningsbalanse med revisors erklæring, laget i forbindelse med omdannelsen av selskapet fra et aksjeselskap til et allmennaksjeselskap, er vedlagt innkallingen som Vedlegg 1, i tillegg til revisor redegjørelse i henhold til allmennaksjeloven § 2-6, jf. aksjeloven § 15-1, inntatt som Vedlegg 2 til denne innkallingen.

De viktigste rettsvirkningene av den beskrevne konverteringen er følgende:

  • Reglene i allmennaksjeloven vil komme til anvendelse på Selskapet.
  • Selskapet beholder sitt firmanavn uendret med unntak av foretaksbetegnelsen ''AS'', som må endres til ''ASA'' eller ''allmennaksjeselskap''.
  • Aksjekapitalen i et allmennaksjeselskap må være minst NOK 1 000 000.
  • Selskapet skal ha et styre bestående av minst tre medlemmer.
  • Selskapet må være registrert i Verdipapirregisteret.
  • Aksjene i et allmennaksjeselskap er fritt omsettelige.

Styret kan ikke se at en omdanning fra AS til ASA har noen negativ effekt for aksjonærene, og Styret foreslår at generalforsamlingen fatter følgende vedtak:

Selskapet skal omdannes til et allmennaksjeselskap (ASA). Selskapet har til hensikt å innby andre enn aksjonærene til å tegne aksjer i en etterfølgende emisjon.

Som følge av omdanningen til allmennaksjeselskap og som ledd i forberedelsene til Noteringen, anser Styret det hensiktsmessig å etablere en nominasjonskomite. Hovedoppgaven til denne komiteen vil være å fremme forslag til generalforsamlingen om styresammensetning og styrehonorering. Styrets

An opening balance sheet endorsed by the Company's auditor, prepared in connection with the transformation is attached hereto as Appendix 1, in addition to the auditor's statement pursuant to the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act § 2-6 cf. the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act section 15-1, enclosed as Appendix 2 to this notice.

The most significant legal effects of a transformation as described include inter alia the following:

  • The Company will fall under the scope of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act
  • The corporate identity of the Company remains unchanged, with the exception that the company designation ''AS'' must be changed to ''ASA'' or public limited company.
  • The required share capital in a public limited company must be at least NOK 1,000,000.
  • The company shall have a board of at least three directors
  • It will be required for the company to be registered with the Norwegian Registry of Securities
  • The shares of a public limited company are freely transferable.

The Board cannot see that a conversion from AS to ASA will have any negative economic consequences for the shareholders, and proposes that the general meeting passes the following resolution:

The Company shall be converted into a public limited company (ASA). The Company intends to invite other than current shareholders to subscribe for new shares in a subsequent share issue.

4. NOMINASJONSKOMITÉ 4. NOMINATION COMMITTEE

As a consequence of converting to a public company, and as part of the preparations for the Listing, the Board considers it appropriate to establish a nomination committee. The main task of this committee will be to make proposals to the general meeting regarding composition of the Board and

forslag til instruks for slik nominasjonskomitéen er inntatt som Vedlegg 3 til denne innkallingen.

På denne bakgrunn foreslår Styret at generalforsamlingen fatter følgende vedtak med virkning fra registrering av omdanningen til allmennaksjeselskap:

(i) En ny § 7 inntas i Selskapets vedtekter med følgende ordlyd:

"§ 7 - Nominasjonskomité

Nominasjonskomitéen fremmer forslag til generalforsamlingen om (i) valg av styrets leder, styremedlemmer og eventuelle varamedlemmer, og (ii) valg av medlemmer til nominasjonskomitéen.

On this basis, the Board proposes that the general meeting passes the following resolution with effect from the registration of the conversion to a public limited liability company:

"§ 7 – Nomination committee

To the Shareholders' Meeting of HydrogenPro AS

Report on conversion to a public limited company for HydrogenPro AS

As independent experts and on instructions from the Board of Directors, we report in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 2-6.

The Board of Directors' responsibility

The board is responsible for the information on which the report is based and for the valuations that are the basis for the conversion.

The independent experts' responsibility

Our responsibility is to prepare a report on whether the assets and liabilities at the conversion can be carried in the balance sheet at a total net value covering the share capital required in a public limited company (cf. the Limited Liability Companies Act section 2-6, cf. section 15-1).

The remaining report is divided into two parts. The first part is a presentation of information in accordance with the requirements set by the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act section 2-6 first par. no.1 to 4. The second part is our opinion.

Part 1: Information about the assets and liabilities at the conversion

Part 2: The independent expert's report

We conducted our review and issue our statement in accordance with the Norwegian standard SA 3802-1 "The auditor's statements and reports pursuant to Norwegian company legislation". The standard requires that we plan and perform our review to obtain reasonable assurance for the fact that the assets and obligations at the conversion can be carried in the balance sheet at a total net value covering the nominal value of the share capital of NOK 1.160.536,42 required in a public limited company. The work includes a review of the valuation of assets and obligations at the conversion. We have also assessed the valuation methods applied and the assumptions constituting the basis for the valuation.

The share capital as mentioned above is dependent of an increase of share capital through bonus shares issue, from NOK 58.028,17, with NOK 1.102.535,25, to NOK 1.160.536,42 by transfer of a corresponding amount from det company's unrestricted equity to the company's share capital. Our report is based on the Shareholders' Meeting approval of a resolution from the board as described in this paragraph.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the assets and obligations at the conversion can be carried in the balance sheet at a total net value covering the nominal value of the share capital of NOK 1.160.536,42 required in a public limited company.

APPENDIX 5

REMUNERATION POLICY FOR EXECUTIVE PERSONNEL HYDROGENPRO AS

(Resolved by the Board of Directors on 25 August 2022 and extraordinary general meeting on 5 September 2022)

1. INTRODUCTION

This policy (the "Policy") is established in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act (the "Companies Act") Section 6-16a and related regulations for remuneration of executive management, and it has been prepared by the Board of Directors of HydrogenPro AS (to be converted to a public limited liability company and be renamed "HydrogenPro ASA") (the "Company" and together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, the "Group"). The principles in this Policy apply for the executive management of the Group as defined in Section 6-16a of the Companies Act, as well as the members of the Board of Directors. The executive management currently consists of the CEO, CFO, CPO, CCO and CBDO of the Group. This Policy shall also apply to any new members of the executive management employed subsequent to the date of this Policy.

The Board of Directors can deviate from this Policy if required by regulatory requirements, material changes in the Group structure or ownership, if the CEO is to be changed, or if there are situations where the long-term interests of the Group require it. Any such deviations shall be approved by the Board of the Company, and the reason for such deviations shall be included in the minutes of the Board meeting. Deviations shall also be described in the remuneration report produced each year.

The Board has taken an active role in establishing, reviewing, and executing these guidelines. The Board shall prepare a proposal for guidelines for resolution by the general meeting at least every fourth year. The general meeting shall decide on such proposals. Resolved guidelines may also be amended by way of resolution of subsequent general meetings. The guidelines approved by the general meeting shall be published on the Company's website.

2. PURPOSE

The purpose of this Policy is to align interests between executives and the Company's shareholders and stimulate a strong and enduring value-based culture and long-term interests, including long-term sustainability, profitability, and long-lasting growth in shareholder value.

The remuneration of the executive management shall promote the achievement of good financial results and leadership in accordance with the Group's values and business ethics and shall reflect the content and complexity of the executives' position as well as the performance of the individual, at the same time as it attracts and retains these key individuals.

3. REMUNERATION

The remuneration for the executive management consists of fixed salary, short term variable performance related salary and a long-term retention scheme consisting of a share option program awarded based on performance.

Remuneration of executive management is a strategic tool for the Group to achieve its financial and operational goals while staying within its risk appetite to maximize shareholder value.

The evaluation process covered by these guidelines relates to fixed cash salary, variable cash salary, benefits and participation in stock option incentive programs as further described below.

i) Principle for FIXED Cash Salary ("FCS")

FCS allows the Group to attract and recruit executives that are necessary for the long-term profitability and sustainability of the Group.

FCS shall reflect the individual's position and degree of responsibility. The size of the FCS shall reflect market rates at the relevant location. The FCS shall be competitive with relevant businesses within the industry, and shall take into account inter alia the scope and responsibility associated with the position, as well as the skills, experience and performance of senior executive. The FCS has no specified maximum level.

ii) Principle for VARIABLE Cash Salary/Bonuses ("VCSB")

The VCSB are based on achievement related to quantitative and qualitative KPI's set by the Board. The KPI's are grouped in 3 categories at Group level, at own area/department of responsibility and personal performance. The KPI's shall balance short-term financial and operational targets with strategic initiatives that support the long-term development and competitiveness of the Group. Any such KPI is to reflect the key drivers for pursuing the Group's business strategy, long-term interests, sustainable business practices, social responsibility and environmental impact. To which extent the criteria for awarding such VCSB have been satisfied shall be determined concretely by the Group after the relevant measurement period of the KPI has ended. The VCSB shall be evaluated and documented on an annual basis. The maximum VCSB is limited to 50% of the individual FCS.

The Group's policy is to ensure that contractual grounds exist to require salaries, whether fixed of variable, to be refunded if the basis for the payment later proves incorrect, in case of erroneous payments or in the event of breach of contractual obligations.

In order to reduce the risks of conflict of interests, no senior executive shall participate in the preparation or resolution regarding remuneration-related matters in which they are directly affected. The remuneration to the CEO shall be proposed by the remuneration committee (the "Remuneration Committee"), recommended by the chair of the Board and be approved by the Board on an annual basis, while the remuneration to the other members of the management team shall be proposed by the Remuneration Committee, recommended by the CEO, in consultation with the chair, and approved by the Board on an annual basis.

Members of the executive management may be paid, at the Board´s discretion, additional remuneration which may exceed the variable salary cap in extraordinary circumstances, provided that such extraordinary arrangements are made only at an individual level and with the view to either recruit or retain an executive, as compensation for extraordinary work beyond individual usual duties or as part of a termination settlement. Such remuneration may not be paid in an amount exceeding 100% of the executive's fixed salary.

4. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The remuneration of the members of the Board comprises a fixed annual amount which will be proposed by the nomination committee (the "Nomination Committee") and approved by the annual general meeting.

5. SHARE OPTION PLAN AND OTHER PERFORMANCE RELATED REMUNERATION

The Group has a share option program covering certain employees in senior positions. The share option program has the following main terms:

  • Granted options are generally vested or earned during a period of three years according to a pre-determined schedule: 1/3 of the granted shares is vested during year 1, 1/3 in year 2 and 1/3 in year 3.
  • Vesting requires continued employment or association with the Group.
  • Options vested can be exercised at each anniversary year which is each year after the options are granted and must be exercised latest with four years after the award
  • The exercise strike price is normally defined by the share closing price at the stock exchange at the date when share options are awarded. The Board is authorized in special cases to waive the requirement for full or partial vesting or determine deviating vesting structures

The Board may consider granting performance related remuneration in the form of restricted stock units or other similar financial instruments instead of or in addition to share options. Such decision will be made by the Board on a case by case basis and will be subject to similar terms as the existing share option program of the Group.

6. PENSION PLAN AND INSURANCE

Principles for PENSION benefits

The Group's overall policy is that the pension benefit shall reflect local practices and applicable law at each location where the Group operates. Therefore, the Group's pension schemes will vary between the different jurisdictions where the Group operates.

Members of the executive management are members of the Group's pension and insurance scheme that applies equally to all employees in the respective country of operation.

In Norway, the defined contribution plans are in accordance with the Norwegian Occupation Pension Act. The Group's contribution plan shall be in line with industry standards.

7. OTHER BENEFITS

Members of the executive management are eligible for a mobile phone with subscription and a fixed compensation for broadband home internet. Where this corresponds to local practices the Group may provide use of a company car. At present this is currently provided to one executive. Premiums and other costs related to non-financial benefits may not exceed 5% of the annual fixed cash salary of each senior executive

8. Employment contracts

Executive management, depending on geography and applicable laws and practice, will typically have between 3 to 12 months' notice periods. The notice period shall not exceed 18 months.

Confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicitation clauses are included in the contracts. Any severance pay is connected to anti-competitive clause in the individual's employment contract so that they compensate for restrictions in respect of the employee´s ability to take on new work. The total compensation is capped at 12G and half of the compensation shall be reduced by compensation from other sources received during the non-compete period.

9. Deviations from the guidelines

The Board may temporarily resolve to deviate from these guidelines, in whole or in part, if in specific circumstances there is a particular cause for such deviation and a deviation is deemed necessary to serve the Group's long-term interests, sustainability or financial viability.

The Board has full discretion to determine whether to deviate from the guidelines when considering all relevant factors, including but not limited to:

  • Changes in or amendments to the relevant law, rules or regulations;
  • Changes to the remuneration of the CEO in order to ensure that the Company can provide competitive terms to secure the right candidate for the role as CEO;
  • Changes to the Group's capital structure or ownership (mergers, demergers or acquisitions);
  • Events that cause the targets or conditions for remuneration to no longer be appropriate; and
  • Other exceptional circumstances where such deviation may be required to serve the long-term interest or sustainability of the Company or to assure its financial viability.

Deviations from these guidelines and the background of any such deviation shall be included in the annual report to be prepared by the board of directors in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act Section 6-16b.
