| 8 STYREFULLMAKT TIL ERVERV AV EGNE |
8 AUTHORISATION TO ACQUIRE THE |
| AKSJER | COMPANY'S OWN SHARES |
| Styret er av den oppfatning at styret burde gis fullmakt til å erverve egne aksjer. Fullmakten vil kunne brukes av styret til å optimalisere Selskapets kapitalstruktur. Videre vil fullmakten muliggjøre bruk av egne aksjer som oppgjør under Selskapets opsjonsprogram, for begge formål enten helt eller delvis. En styrefullmakt som foreslått er markedsmessig, og vanlig for selskaper notert på Oslo Børs. En fullmakt til å erverve egne aksjer ble gitt på ekstraordinær generalforsamling 28. mai 2021, og gjelder frem til ordinær generalforsamling 2022. Det er ikke ervervet aksjer under fullmakten gitt i 2021. |
The board of directors is of the opinion that they should be authorised to acquire treasury shares. Such authorisation may be used by the board of directors to optimise the Company's capital structure. Further, the authorisation may also facilitate the Company to make use of treasury shares as settlement in the Company's share option program, in both respects in whole or in parts. A board authorisation as proposed is deemed to be customary for companies listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Authorisation to acquire the Company's own shares was granted at the Extraordinary General Meeting 28 May 2021, and is granted until Annual General Meeting 2022. No shares have been acquired pursuant to the authorisation granted in 2021. |
| Styret foreslår at fullmakten fornyes, og at det gis fullmakt til å erverve egne aksjer med en samlet pålydende verdi som tilsvarer inntil 10 % av Selskapet aksjekapital. |
The board of directors proposes that the authorisation be renewed, and that the board of directors is authorised to acquire own shares in the Company with a total nominal value equal to 10 % of the Company's share capital. |
| "I henhold til allmennaksjeloven § 9-4 gis styret fullmakt til | "In accordance with Section 9-4 of the Norwegian |

| STYREFULLMAKT TIL Å FORHØYE | AUTHORISATIONS TO INCREASE THE |
| AKSJEKAPITALEN I ENKELTE TILFELLER | SHARE CAPITAL IN SPECIFIC |
| SITUATIONS | |
| For at Selskapet ved behov skal ha mulighet til å gjennomføre kapitalforhøyelser på en effektiv måte, foreslås det at styret gis fullmakt til å forhøye aksjekapitalen med inntil NOK 4 300 000, som utgjør omtrent 10 % av aksjekapitalen. |
In order for the Company to be able to increase the share capital in an efficient manner, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting grants the board of directors an authorisation to increase the share capital with up to NOK 4,300,000, which represents approximately 10% of the share capital. |
| Fullmakten foreslås å kunne benyttes for å gjennomføre egenkapitaltransaksjoner for å styrke Selskapets finansielle stilling, herunder i forbindelse med oppkjøp av andre selskaper eller virksomheter. Det er styrets oppfatning at en slik fullmakt vil være i Selskapets og aksjeeiernes interesse, da det sikrer styret fleksibilitet dersom Selskapet er i en situasjon hvor kapitalinnhenting blir nødvendig eller ønskelig. En styrefullmakt som foreslått er markedsmessig, og vanlig for selskaper notert på Oslo Børs. En tilsvarende fullmakt ble gitt på ekstraordinær generalforsamling 28. mai 2021, og gjelder frem til ordinær generalforsamling 2022. |
It is proposed that the authorisation may be used to facilitate equity capital transactions for the purpose of strengthening the Company's financial position, for example in connection with acquisitions of companies or businesses. It is the board of directors' opinion that such authorisation would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, as it provides the board of directors with flexibility should the Company be in a situation where it is necessary or desirable to raise additional equity. A board authorisation as proposed is deemed to be customary for companies listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Authorisation to increase the share capital was granted at the extraordinary general meeting 28 May 2021, and is granted until the annual general meeting 2022. |
| utstedes under fullmakten. Styret ønsker å presisere at den foreslåtte fullmakten ikke kan benyttes til å re-finansiere kontantvederlaget knyttet til ervervet av Net-on-Net AB. |
pursuant to the authorisation. The authorisation may however not be utilised to re-finance the cash-element of the purchaser price paid when acquiring the shares of Net-on-Net AB. |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| På bakgrunn av det ovenfor nevnte foreslår styret at generalforsamlingen treffer følgende vedtak: |
On basis of the above mentioned, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolution: |
||
| I henhold til allmennaksjeloven § 10-14 gis styret fullmakt til å forhøye Selskapets aksjekapital, i en eller flere |
"Pursuant to Section 10-14 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the board of directors is granted an authorisation to increase the Company's share capital by up to NOK 4,300,000, in one or more rounds. |
