Introduction

Pursuant to the new provision to Section 10-16a, cf. Section 5-6, third paragraph of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act, the Annual General Meeting shall review the Board of Directors' statement regarding stipulation of remuneration and other benefits of leading employees for the coming accounting year.

Statement of principles for stipulation of remuneration

An advisory vote will be held concerning the Board's guidelines regarding stipulation of remuneration of leading employees, while the Annual General Meeting must approve a possible continuance of the share option program.

Principles regarding stipulation of remuneration and other benefits for leading employees The remuneration policy of TTS Group ASA is based on offering the group management competitive conditions. The level of remuneration shall reflect that the company is a listed company focusing internationally.

The annual remuneration is based on the group management taking part in the company's results, and in the added value for the shareholders through increased company value.

Remuneration consists of three main components; base salary, bonus and a share option program.

Bonus is determined on the basis of target results. In certain circumstances where change and development are on a decisive nature, the bonus is further based on specific development targets. Bonus targets are revisited annually. The maximum bonus is one year's base salary for the President & CEO, and up to 50 percent for other leading employees.

Since 1998 a share option program has been active for the group management of TTS; the goal being that the group management shall have the same incentive as the shareholders in respect of increasing company value over time. The Annual General Meeting has each year given the Board authority to establish share option programs with a two year term. Redemption price equals market price on allotment. First exercise is 50% after reporting Q1 results the following year. Thereafter 12.5% per quarter (after reporting quarterly results), in addition to share options that have not been previously exercised. Share options may not be exercised subsequent to the second anniversary.

The group pension scheme in Norway is based on approximately 65 percent of base salary at the age of 67, limited to a maximum of 12G, except for TTS Offshore Handling Equipment AS that has a contribution pension. For employees abroad, the schemes prevailing in the respective companies where they are employed apply.

The period of notice is 6 months with a severance pay from 6 to 24 months, period of notice inclusive.

The share option program is conditional upon the Annual General Meeting's approval, based on the Board being granted authority to make such allotments. The President & CEO's remuneration is determined by the Board of TTS Group ASA. With respect to other leading employees, their remuneration is determined by the boards of the respective subsidiaries / President & CEO.

Proposal for resolution:

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting support the statements mentioned above and approves the section of the statement regarding share option program for leading employees.

Resolution:

The Annual General Meeting UNANIMOUSLY support the statements mentioned above and approves with 46 093 428 (95,5%) votes, against 2 158 443 (4,5%), the section of the statement regarding share option program for leading employees.
