MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT

The Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of Kvika banki hf., Reg. No. 540502-2930 ("Kvika" or "the Company"), will be held on Wednesday, 26 March 2025, at 4:00 pm, at Nauthóll, Nauthólsvík, Reykjavík.

The Agenda for the meeting is as follows:

  • 1) Report from the Company's Board of Directors on its activities during the past operating year.
  • 2) The Company's annual financial statements for 2024 along with a decision on the treatment of the Company's profit during the financial year and the allocation of part of the sale price of TM.

The Board of Directors proposes that a dividend of ISK 5 per share will be paid to the Bank's shareholders, equal to around ISK 23 billion.

  • 3) Motion to renew the Company's authorisation to purchase own shares.
  • 4) Motion for a reduction in share capital by cancelling own shares and a corresponding amendment to the Articles of Association of the Company.
  • 5) Motion to amend the Company's Articles of Association.
  • 6) Election of the Company's directors and alternates.
  • 7) Nomination Committee.
    • a. Motion on that from now on shareholders will confirm the appointment/election of all three members of the Nomination Committee and a corresponding amendment to the Articles of Association.
    • b. Motion to amend the Procedural Rules of the Nomination Committee.
    • c. Motion on remuneration to members of the Nomination Committee.
    • d. Motion on appointment of three committee members in the Nomination Committee.
  • 8) Motion on the Company's remuneration policy.
  • 9) Election of the Company's auditors.
  • 10) Motion on appointment of one committee member in the Audit Committee.
  • 11) Decision on remuneration to directors and members of the Board's subcommittees.

Primary substance of the Board of Directors' motion to amend the Company's Articles of Association:

The Company's Board of Directors moves that the Company's share capital be reduced by nominal value of ISK 64,241,303 by cancelling the same number of own shares purchased under a formal buy-back programme in 2024. The Financial Supervisory Authority of the Central Bank of Iceland has already granted its approval for the reduction of share capital. If the motion is adopted the Company's share capital will decrease from nominal value of ISK 4,722,073,340 to ISK 4,657,832,037. Considering the ongoing buy-back programme at the time of this meeting announcement and the Board´s motions are published, the Board intends to update its motion for a reduction of share capital through cancellation of own shares and corresponding amendment to the Articles of Association, in accordance with the Company´s own shares on 19 March 2025.

In addition to the amendment to the Articles of Association resulting from the Board of Directors' motion to reduce share capital, the Board proposes amendments to the Articles of Association to reflect that from now on shareholders will confirm the appointment/election of all three members of the Nomination Committee at the Company's AGM, instead of two members. Lastly, the Board moves that Temporary Provision II will be cancelled.
