4. Summons to a Bondholders’ meeting:
Bondholders are hereby summoned to a Bondholders’ meeting:
Time: 10th March 2010 at 10:00 hours (Oslo time),
Place: The premises of Norsk Tillitsmann ASA, Haakon VIIs gt 1, 01061 Oslo - 7th floor
Agenda:
- Approval of the summons.
- Approval of the agenda.
- Election of two persons to co-sign the minutes together with the chairman.
- Request for change of the Bond Agreement:
It is proposed that the Bondholders’ meeting resolve the following:
The current definition of Maturity Date in the Loan Agreement shall be amended and replaced with the following:
Maturity Date: 15th March 2010.
To approve the above resolution, Bondholders representing at least 2/3 of the Bonds represented in person or by proxy at the meeting must vote in favour of the resolution. In order to have a quorum, at least 2/10 of the voting Bonds must be represented at the meeting. If the proposal is not adopted, the Loan Agreement will remain unchanged.
Please find attached a Bondholder’s Form from the Securities Depository (VPS), indicating your bondholding at the printing date. The Bondholder’s Form will serve as proof of ownership of the Bonds and of the voting rights at the bondholders’ meeting. (If the bonds are held in custody - i.e. the owner is not registered directly in the VPS - the custodian must confirm; (i) the owner of the bonds, (ii) the aggregate nominal amount of the bonds and (iii) the account number in VPS on which the bonds are registered.)
The individual bondholder may authorise the Norsk Tillitsmann to vote on its behalf, in which case the Bondholder’s Form also serves as a proxy. A duly signed Bondholder’s Form, authorising Norsk Tillitsmann to vote, must then be returned to Norsk Tillitsmann in due time before the meeting is scheduled (by scanned e-mail, telefax or post – please see the first page of this letter for further details).

In the event that Bonds have been transferred to a new owner after the Bondholder’s Form was made, the new Bondholder must bring to the Bondholders’ meeting or enclose with the proxy, as the case may be, evidence which the Bond Trustee accepts as sufficient proof of the ownership of the Bonds.
For practical purposes, we request those who intend to attend the bondholders’ meeting, either in person or by proxy other than to Norsk Tillitsmann, to notify Norsk Tillitsmann by telephone or by e-mail (at set out at the first page of this letter) within 16:00 hours (4 pm) (Oslo time) the Banking Day before the meeting takes place.
Yours sincerely
Norsk Tillitsmann ASA
