5 APPROVAL OF DIVIDEND

Kitron has historically paid annual dividends pursuant to resolutions by the annual general meeting. In connection with the announcement of results for fourth quarter and full year 2019, the board proposed a continuation of this dividend policy. As a result of the corona pandemic, the company's financial position and risk related to liquidity is more uncertain, the Board of Directors has resolved to cancel the proposed dividend. At the same time, it is proposed that the general meeting grants an authorization to the board to resolve dividends on the basis of the annual accounts, cf. the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 8-2, second paragraph. The authorization may be used if the company is in a position to pay dividends at a later stage. With such authorization the board seeks to safeguard the company's financial position, and at the same time maintain the option to evidence shareholder value by paying dividends.

The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting makes the following resolution:

"The general meeting hereby authorizes the board of directors to resolve the payments of dividend based on the company's approved annual accounts for 2019, cf. the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 8-2, second paragraph. The board of directors shall, when using the authorization, make its decision in accordance with the company's approved dividend policy. The board of directors shall before each decision to approve the payment of dividends consider if the company, after the payment of dividends, will have sufficient equity and liquidity. The authorization is limited to a total amount of NOK 90 million and shall be valid until the next annual general meeting, but not beyond 30 June 2021."

6 THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' DECLARATION ON EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION

The Board of Directors' declaration on salaries and other remuneration to the senior executive management is enclosed.

Guidelines for allocation of shares, subscription rights, options and any other form of remuneration linked to the shares or the development of the official share price in the company or in other group companies are binding on the Board of Directors and shall be approved by the General Meeting. Such guidelines are described in section 2 of the Board of Director's declaration on salaries and other remuneration for senior management.

The guidelines set out in section 1 of the declaration are precatory for the Board of Directors. The General Meeting shall hold an advisory vote on the precatory guidelines.

Fixed compensation

The actual level of annual base salaries (ABS) is based on market conditions and salary levels related to the actual position in the country in question. Kitron uses the Hay tool for determining market levels on an annual basis. The executive positions are evaluated using the Hay positioning grading tool.

Pension plans, based on defined contribution plans, are in place following the practice and regulations in each country. The CEO and members of the Corporate Management Team are members of Kitron's general pension contribution scheme that applies to all Kitron employees. Some of the members in the Corporate Management Team receive an additional pension contribution. As of 2019 the Norwegian based members of the Corporate Management Team (except the CEO) have received an additional pension contribution corresponding to 20 per

cent of the base salary between 12G and 24G. The CEO receives an additional yearly pension contribution amounting to NOK 1 315 600 for 2019.

The company may at any time terminate the CEO employment without further jurisdiction. In such case severance pay constitutes a gross lump sum corresponding to 9 month base salaries at the time of termination.

The board may grant specific purpose bonuses to members of senior executive management.

Other benefits are according to company policy and regulations in country of residence.

Short term incentive scheme

The short-term incentive scheme has specific targets and defined maximum pay-outs and is set on annual basis. The possible maximum pay-out for 2019 is 65 per cent of annual basic salary.

Regular salary reviews

Annual salary reviews are performed in accordance with the employment contract and with reference to market reviews (e.g. Hay etc), as well as to the Kitron group financial performance.

See further details, see note 28 in the annual financial statements for additional information about salary and other remuneration of senior executives in 2019.

The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting makes the following advisory vote with respect to the precatory guidelines in section 1 of the declaration:

"The General Meeting expresses its support to the precatory guidelines set out in section 1 of the Board of Directors' declaration on salaries and other remuneration to the senior executive management."

Long-term incentive scheme

In 2018 the Board introduced a new share option program for executive management comprising of up to 5 000 000 shares. The program is divided into four three-year sub-programs, each with an allocation of 1 250 000 option, where the first program started in 2019, followed by one program every year until 2022. The total program corresponds to approximately 3% of the market cap.

The share option program entails that the executive management, on certain terms, may be granted a right to subscribe for shares in Kitron at NOK 0.10 per share after a vesting period of three years. The number of options that are vested for each sub-program, are linked to development of the market capitalization at Oslo Stock Exchange, adjusted for dividends and share buy-backs. For each sub-program to vest fully, the market capitalization adjusted for dividends and share buy-backs must increase 50%. The programsstart to vest at an increase of 20% and will vest linearly between 20% to 50%.

Each sub-program is capped at 200% increase of the market capitalization, adjusted for dividends and share buybacks. The program has a claw back clause. Each sub-program ha a lock up-period of one year and a down-sale period of two years.

Per 31 December 2019, 1 250 000 options have been granted to executive management. The share option program is described in more detail in note 19 in the annual financial statements.

The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting makes the following resolution with respect to binding guidelines in section 2 of the declaration:

"The General Meeting approves the binding guidelines set out in section 2 of the Board of Director's declaration on salaries and other remuneration for senior management."

7 REMUNERATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

At the Annual General Meeting in 2018, a new structure for board remuneration was resolved whereby the members of the Board of Directors may choose to receive remuneration either (i) partly in cash and partly shares of the company or (ii) fully in cash, see further details below.

The optionality to receive shares has been welcomed by the Board and facilitates further ownership of shares in the company by Board members, in line with the recommendations of the Code of Practice for Corporate Governance section 11. The Nomination Committee has not been made aware of any circumstances that implies a need to adjust the structure for remuneration to Board members, which seems to be functioning well.

With respect to the level of Board remuneration, the Nomination Committee finds an increase of approximate 3% as appropriate.

Based on the Nomination Committee's preparatory work, the Nomination Committee proposes to continue the remuneration structure where Board members may invest in the company's shares as set out below. The Board members may choose to receive their full remuneration in accordance with one of the alternatives set out below:

Cash and shares alternative:

Board members may choose to receive their remuneration partly in cash and partly in shares as set out below. Choosing this alternative will establish a right and an obligation to acquire shares in the company (the "Share Remuneration").

In case of the Share Remuneration, the remuneration to the Chairman of the Board shall be NOK 514,000 (up from 498,500) per year, and ordinary Board members shall receive a remuneration of NOK 257,000 (up from 249,000) per year.

Board members shall have an obligation to acquire a number of shares in the company having a market value corresponding to at least 25% of the gross total remuneration paid to such Board member (excluding remuneration as chair/member of Board committees).

The Nomination Committee deems it most appropriate to leave it to the company to decide how the Board member shall acquire the shares based on the following key principles:

  • The shares shall be acquired at market price.
  • The shares should be acquired by the Board members as soon as practically possible after the General Meeting has been held. The Board members should preferably acquire the shares at the same time.

  • The acquisition of shares must be made in accordance with applicable legislation and Kitron's internal routines for handling inside information and rules for primary insiders.
  • The shares shall be acquired with a long-term ownership perspective.
  • Deputy Board members may not choose to participate in the Share Remuneration.
  • Each Board member is responsible for taxes, charges and fees levied upon them as a consequence of acquiring shares in the company as part of the Share Remuneration.

Cash alternative:

Board members may choose to receive their full remuneration in cash (the "Cash Remuneration").

In case of the Cash Remuneration, the remuneration to the Chairman of the Board shall be NOK 428,000 (up from 416,000) per year, and ordinary Board members shall receive a remuneration of NOK 214,000 (up from 208,000) per year.

Remuneration to members of committees under the Board of Directors:

The Nomination Committee proposes that the remuneration to the members of the company's audit committee and the company's remuneration committee for the coming year shall increase with NOK 200 per meeting.

Summary:

Based on the above, the Nomination Committee proposes the following remuneration the Board members for the coming year, from and including May 2020, and to and including April 2021:

Chairman of the Board NOK 514,000 (cash + shares) per year, or
428,000 (cash) per year
Other Board members NOK 257,000 (cash + shares) per year, or
214,000 (cash) per year
Chairman of the Audit Committee NOK 7,400 per meeting*
Other Audit Committee members NOK 6,400 per meeting*
Remuneration Committee members NOK 4,300 per meeting*
*Subject to attendance

The Nomination Committee's proposal is available at the company's website www.kitron.com, and is also available upon request at the company's office.

8 REMUNERATION TO THE NOMINATION COMMITTEE

Chairman of the Nomination Committee NOK 4,200 per meeting*
Nomination Committee members NOK 3,200 per meeting*
* Subject to attendance

The remuneration is changed from the level of the last two years of NOK 4,000 and NOK 3,000.

The Nomination Committee's proposal in its entirety is available at the company's website www.kitron.com, and is also available upon request at the company's office.

The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting makes a resolution in accordance with the Nomination Committee's recommendation.

9 REMUNERATION TO THE AUDITOR

The Board of Directors proposes that the auditor, PWC AS, shall be remunerated according to the invoice for the audit of the 2019 Financial Statements. Accrued fees to the auditor make a total of NOK 1 348 thousand for Kitron, whereof NOK 1 164 thousand is related to auditing and NOK 184 thousand to other services. The General Meeting shall make a resolution regarding the fee related to statutory audit. The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting makes the following resolution:

"Remuneration to the auditor for 2019 of NOK 1 164 thousand for statutory audit is approved."

10 AUTHORIZATION TO THE BOARD TO ISSUE SHARES

The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting grants the Board of Directors an authorization to increase the share capital. The Board of Directors proposes that such authorization may only be used for purposes as specified in the proposed resolution below.

The Board of Directorsis of the opinion that it will be practical that the Board of Directors has such authorization in order to have the necessary flexibility and ability to act promptly, for purposes within the company's interest.

The General Meeting shall deal with the annual accounts for 2019, and it is referred to this, in addition to the company's stock exchange releases made public through the Oslo Stock Exchange's news service agent www.newsweb.no and Kitron's web site, for a review of events that are of significant importance for the company and information about the company and the company's activities.

To be able to attend to the stated purpose of the authorization the Board of Directors proposes that the shareholders pre-emptive rights in accordance with the Act section 10-4 may be set aside.

The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting makesthe following resolution:

"The Board of Directors of Kitron ASA is hereby authorized to increase the share capital in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 10-14 on the following conditions:

  • 1. The share capital may, in one or more rounds, in total be increased with up to NOK 1,791,039.90.
  • 2. The authorization shall be valid until the Annual General Meeting in 2021, but no later than 30 June 2021.
  • 3. The shareholders' pre-emptive rights according to the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 10-4 may be set aside.

11 AUTHORIZATION TO THE BOARD TO BUY OWN SHARES

The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting grants the Board of Directors with authorization to acquire Kitron's own shares.

Such authorization would give the Board of Directorsthe opportunity to take advantage of the financial instruments and mechanisms provided by the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act. Buy-back of the company's shares, with subsequent cancellation, would be an important aid for optimizing Kitron's financial structure. Further on, Kitron would be able to use own shares for incentive schemes and, in full or as part, as consideration in connection with acquisition of businesses. The Board of Directors proposes that the authorization may only be used for purposes as further specified in the proposed resolution below.

  • 1.

The authorization also includes contract liens in the shares of Kitron ASA.
  • 2. The authorization is not intended for use to facilitate or obstruct the success of a take-over bid where Kitron is the target company.
  • 3. Under this authorization the Board of Directors may pay minimum NOK 1 per share and maximum the prevailing market price per share on the day the offer is made, provided, however, that the maximum amount does not exceed NOK 25 per share.
