Styrets forslag til vedtak:

"Retningslinjer om fastsettelse av lønn og annen godtgjørelse til ledende ansatte godkjennes."

10. Fullmakt til å utstede aksjer

Styret ble på ordinær generalforsamling i 2020 gitt fullmakt til å forhøye Selskapets aksjekapital med et beløp som utgjorde ca. 10% av daværende aksjekapital, gjennom én eller flere aksjekapitalutvidelser. Denne fullmakten bortfaller ved avholdelse av den ordinære generalforsamlingen. Styret anser det hensiktsmessig å fortsatt ha anledning til å kunne utstede aksjer i situasjoner der dette anses å være i Selskapets og aksjonærenes beste interesse, herunder for å oppfylle Selskapets forpliktelser overfor ansatte etter incentivordninger, og ber derfor om at generalforsamlingen utsteder en ny fullmakt til utstedelse av et antall nye aksjer som vil utgjøre ca. 10 % av Selskapets aksjekapital.

Styrets forslag til vedtak:

"Styret gis fullmakt til å øke aksjekapitalen med inntil NOK 29 145 949 gjennom én eller flere aksjekapitalutvidelser.

Fullmakten skal kunne anvendes for et eller flere av følgende formål:

• (i) for utstedelse av aksjer i forbindelse med incentivprogram for ansatte; og/eller
• (ii) for generelle selskapsformål, herunder ved investeringer, oppkjøp og fusjoner.

Pris og tegningsvilkår fastsettes av Styret ved hver utstedelse under hensyn til Selskapets behov og aksjenes markedsverdi på det aktuelle tidspunkt. Aksjer vil kunne utstedes mot kontantvederlag eller vederlag i form av andre aktiva (tingsinnskudd), herunder ved fusjon, og fullmakten gir rett til å pådra Selskapet særlige plikter mv, jf. allmennaksjeloven § 10-2.

8. Auditor's remuneration

The Board's proposal for resolution:

"The general meeting approves the auditor's remuneration in accordance with invoice for audit and audit related services for the financial year 2020."

9. Guidelines regarding determination of salary and other compensation to executive management

In accordance with section 6-16a of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the Board has prepared guidelines for salary and other remuneration to the CEO and other members of executive management. The guidelines are available on the Company's website https://www.nelhydrogen.com in accordance with section 12 of the articles of association.

The Board's proposal for resolution:

"The guidelines for salary and other remuneration to members of executive management is approved."

10. Authorization to issue shares

At the annual general meeting in 2020, the Board was granted the authorisation to increase the Company's share capital by an amount which constituted approx. 10% of the share capital at the time, through one or several share capital increases. This authorization will expire at the conclusion of the annual general meeting. The Board considers it beneficial to continue to be able to issue shares in situations where this is considered to be in the Company's and the shareholders' best interests, including to enable fulfilment of obligations towards employees pursuant to incentive programs, and therefore asks that the general meeting grants a new authorization to issue a number of new shares which will constitute approx. 10% of the Company's share capital.

The Board's proposal for resolution:

"The Board is granted authorization to increase the share capital with up to NOK 29,145,949 through one or several share capital increases.

The authorization may be used for one or more of the following purposes:

• (i) for issuance of shares in connection with incentive plans for employees; and/or
• (ii) for general corporate purposes, including in connection with investments, mergers and acquisitions.

Price and conditions for subscription will be determined by the Board on issuance, according to the Company's needs and the shares' market value at the time. Shares may be issued in exchange for cash settlement or contribution in kind, including in connection with mergers, and the authorization gives the right to incur specific obligations on behalf of the Company, cf. section 10-2 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act.

Eksisterende aksjonærers fortrinnsrett til å tegne aksjer vil kunne bli fraveket av Styret i forbindelse med utøvelse av fullmakten.

Denne fullmakt utløper på datoen for den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2022, men skal i alle tilfelle utløpe senest 30. juni 2022.

Styret gis samtidig fullmakt til å foreta nødvendige vedtektsendringer ved utøvelse av fullmakten. Denne fullmakt erstatter fullmakt til å øke aksjekapitalen utstedt av den ordinære generalforsamlingen 13. mai 2020."

11. Fullmakt til å erverve egne aksjer

På den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2020 ble Styret gitt fullmakt til å erverve egne aksjer med en samlet pålydende verdi på inntil 10 % av Selskapets aksjekapital. Fullmakten utløper på datoen for den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2021.

En slik fullmakt vil blant annet medføre at Selskapet kan benytte egne aksjer som oppgjør, herunder i forbindelse med incentivprogrammer. Styret foreslår derfor at fullmakten fornyes.

Styrets forslag til vedtak:

"Styret gis fullmakt til på Selskapets vegne å erverve aksjer i Nel ASA til ett eller flere av følgende formål:

• (i) i forbindelse med incentivprogram for ansatte, og/eller
• (ii) for generelle selskapsformål.

Fullmakten gjelder for kjøp av egne aksjer med samlet pålydende på inntil 10 % av pålydende av Selskapets aksjekapital til enhver tid, jf. allmennaksjeloven §§ 9-2 og 9-3. Aksjer kan erverves til minst NOK 2 per aksje og maksimalt NOK 200 per aksje. Disse begrensninger skal justeres tilsvarende i tilfelle av aksjespleis, aksjesplitt og lignende transaksjoner. Aksjene skal erverves ved ordinær omsetning over børs.

Styrets fullmakt gjelder frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2022, men skal i alle tilfelle utløpe senest 30. juni 2022. Beslutningen skal meldes til og registreres av Foretaksregisteret innen aksjer erverves i henhold til fullmakten.

Denne fullmakt erstatter fullmakt til å erverve egne aksjer utstedt av den ordinære generalforsamlingen 13. mai 2020."

12. Valg av styremedlemmer

Valgkomiteen har i sin innstilling til generalforsamlingen foreslått at samtlige styremedlemmer gjenvelges for en periode på ett år, frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2022. Det foreslås videre at Ole Enger gjenvelges som styreleder. Valgkomiteen foreslår således at generalforsamlingen treffer følgende vedtak:

The existing shareholders' preferential rights to subscribe for shares may be waived by the Board in connection with the effectuation of this authorization.

This authorization expires at the annual general meeting in 2022, but shall in any event expire at the latest on 30 June 2022.

The Board is at the same time given authorization to make the necessary amendments to the articles of association on execution of the authorization. This authorization replaces the authorization to increase the share capital granted by the annual general meeting on 13 May 2020."

11. Authorization to acquire treasury shares

At the annual general meeting in 2020 the Board was granted an authorization to acquire own shares with a maximum aggregate value of up to 10% of the Company's share capital. The authorization expires at the time of the annual general meeting in 2021.

Such authorization will i.a. enable the Company to use own shares as settlement, including in relation to incentive schemes. The Board therefore proposes that the authorization is renewed.

The Board's proposal for resolution:

"The Board is granted authorization to acquire shares in Nel ASA on behalf of the Company for one or more of the following purposes:

• (i) in connection with incentive program for employees, and/or
• (ii) for general corporate purposes.

The authorization covers purchase(s) of shares for a total nominal value not exceeding 10% of the share capital at any given time, cf. sections 9-2 and 9-3 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act. Shares may be acquired at a price per share of minimum NOK 2 and maximum NOK 200. These limitations shall be adjusted in the event of share consolidation, share splits, and similar transactions. The shares shall be acquired through ordinary purchase on the stock exchange.

The Board's authorization is valid until the annual general meeting in 2022, but shall in any event expire at the latest on 30 June 2022. The decision shall be notified to and registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises prior to acquiring any shares pursuant to this authorization.

This authorization replaces the authorization to acquire own shares granted by the annual general meeting on 13 May 2020."

12. Election of members to the Board

The nomination committee has in its recommendation to the general meeting proposed all board members are reelected for a period of one year until the annual general meeting of 2022. Further, the nomination committee proposes that Ole Enger is reelected as chair. Accordingly, the nomination committee proposes that the general meeting adopts the following resolutions:

• 12.1 "Ole Enger velges som styreleder for en periode frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2022";
• 12.2 "Hanne Blume velges som styremedlem for en periode frem til den ordinære generalforsamlingen i 2022";

Vedlegg 1 / Appendix 1:

Proposal from the Nomination Committee in Nel ASA for the Annual General Meeting April 15th 2021

The following constitute the Nomination Committee of Nel ASA:

• Leif Eriksrød, Chair of the Nomination Committee
• Torkel Aaberg
• Fredrik Thoresen

The nomination committee has had several meetings the last months. Due to the geographical diversity of the members, meetings have been held digitally. The committee has been in dialogue with all board members and management. The largest known shareholders are represented in the nomination committee, but none has more than 5 percent of the shares or votes in the company. The largest shareholder in Nel is a nominee account. To the committee's knowledge, there are many small shareholders behind this account.

The nomination committee proposes to establish a remuneration committee within the board. The increased size of the company and organization make it necessary to carve out these responsibilities from the ordinary board work. The committee proposes that the board itself decides who will constitute the remuneration committee.

1. Election of Board members

The Nomination Committee proposes that the following members are elected for one year, or until next ordinary Annual General Meeting. All of these are considered independent from main shareholders and administration. In line with the recommendation on corporate governance for companies listed in Norway, we propose that each member is voted for individually. If the committee's proposal is voted for, the Board of Directors of Nel ASA will consist of the following members (in alphabetical order after chair):

• a) Ole Enger, Chair of the board (served since 2017)
• b) Hanne Blume (served since 2019)
• c) Charlotta Falvin (served since 2020)

Oslo, March 16th, 2021 The Nomination Committee of Nel ASA

Vedlegg 2 / Appendix 2:

Guidelines for remuneration of executive management of Nel ASA

These guidelines regarding remuneration to the executive management have been prepared by the board of directors of Nel ASA ("Nel" or the "Company") in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act Section 6-16a and related regulations. The guidelines have been prepared for approval by the Company's annual general meeting in 2021, and will apply until the Company's annual general meeting in 2025, unless amended or replaced earlier.

Process for development of the guidelines, role of remuneration committee

The board of directors has taken an active role in establishing and executing these guidelines.

The board of directors is in the process of appointing a remuneration committee as a subset of the board of directors. Going forward, the remuneration committee is intended to have a preparatory function, in relation to the board of directors, for principles for remuneration and other terms of employment of the senior executives. This includes future versions of these guidelines.

The board of directors shall prepare a proposal for guidelines for resolution by the annual general meeting at least every fourth year. Guidelines approved by a general meeting may be amended in subsequent annual or extraordinary general meetings, also within an original term.

The board of directors shall approve remuneration to the CEO. The other senior executives' remuneration shall be prepared by the CEO and resolved upon by either the board of directors or the remuneration committee. In order to reduce the risks of conflict of interests, no senior executive shall participate in the preparation or resolution regarding remuneration-related matters which they are directly affected by.

Purpose and general principles for remuneration

For the purposes of these guidelines, senior executives include the CEO and certain other executives who directly report to the CEO and who are either members of Nel group corporate management or divisional heads.

These guidelines constitute a framework for which remuneration to senior executives may be decided by the board of directors or the remuneration committee during the period for which the guidelines are in force. Nel has a leading role within the global hydrogen industry, and as such competes for senior management talent within the industry in all its locations worldwide. These guidelines aim to support Nel's competitiveness as an employer in all locations.

The Company's remuneration principles are designed to ensure responsible and sustainable remuneration practices that support the Company's business strategy, long-term interests, and sustainable business practices. To this end, salaries and other employment terms shall enable the Company to recruit, develop and retain skilled senior executives with relevant experience and competence. The remuneration shall be on market terms, be competitive, and reflect the performance and responsibilities of the individual senior executives. Principles for incentives and performance are designed to be aligned with the interests of the Company's shareholders and to ensure the most capable execution of defined business strategies, short and long-term, while ensuring the Company's going concern.

Remuneration and employment conditions for employees of the Company have been taken into account in the preparation of these guidelines by including information on employees' total income, forms of remuneration and other salary components in the basis for decision when evaluating whether the Company's remuneration practices, and the guidelines and limitations set out herein, are reasonable.

Remuneration for senior executives shall be adapted to comply with established local practice and mandatory rules in the jurisdiction of their employment, taking into account, to the extent possible, the overall purpose of the guidelines.

Elements of remuneration

The remuneration to the senior executives covered by these guidelines may consist of fixed cash salary, variable cash salary, benefits, and participation in stock option incentive programs as further described below.

Principles for fixed cash salary

Fixed cash salary allows Nel to attract and recruit senior executives that are necessary for the long term profitability and sustainability of the Company.

Fixed cash salaries shall reflect the individual's position and degree of responsibility. The size of the fixed cash salary shall reflect market rates at the relevant location. The salary shall be competitive with comparable businesses within the industry, and shall take into account inter alia the scope and responsibility associated with the position, as well as the skills, experience, and performance of each senior executive. The fixed cash salaries have no specified maximum levels.

Principles for variable cash salary /bonuses

As of March 2021, only the CEO has a bonus arrangement. Said arrangement is limited to 50% of his fixed salary. Half of the CEO's annual bonus is based on achievement related to qualitative and quantitative KPIs set by the board of directors. The KPIs balance short-term financial and operational targets with strategic initiatives that support the long-term development of the Company. The other half of the bonus is payable based on an overall assessment by the board of directors of the development of the Company and management over the last 12 months.

Following the annual general meeting in April 2021, the Company intends, under the supervision of a newly established remuneration committee, to carry out a thorough review of the Company's compensation practices across all locations. This review may lead to the establishment of bonus schemes for other members of executive management, in instances where extraordinary effort or achievement of performance objectives can be measured through clearly defined results parameters/KPIs. Any results parameters/KPIs may include both financial performance targets set for the Company, such as EBIT, profits, turnover or similar, as well as team and individual performance targets which will be specified and tailor-made to the individual's area of responsibility. Any such KPIs shall reflect the key drivers for pursuing the Company's business strategy, long-term interests, and sustainable business practices, including social responsibility and environmental impact when and to the extent relevant. To which extent the criteria for awarding such variable cash salary have been satisfied shall be determined concretely by the Company when the relevant measurement period of the performance criteria has ended. Such variable cash salary shall be evaluated and documented on an annual basis. Variable cash salary shall not exceed 50% of the individual employee's base salary.

The Company's policy is to ensure that contractual grounds exist to require salaries, whether fixed or variable, to be refunded if the basis for the payment later proves incorrect, in case of erroneous payments, or in the event of breach of contractual obligations.

Principles for pension benefits

The Company's overall policy is that pension arrangements shall reflect local practices and applicable law at each location. Therefore, the Company's pension schemes will vary between jurisdictions.

Leading employees are members of the Company's pension and insurance scheme that applies to all employees in the respective country. In Norway, no leading employee has or shall have a pension scheme beyond what is supported in the Norwegian Occupation Pension Act. The pension scheme is based on a defined contribution covering salary up to 12G. In the USA, leading employees shall be entitled to elect to participate in the Proton Energy System, Inc. 401(k) retirement plan, subject to certain eligibility requirements. Participants shall have the option of contributing up to 15% of their annual compensation. The Company shall make matching contributions to the 401(k) plan at 35% of the first 6% of the eligible employees' contributions. In Denmark, leading employees are members of the Company's pension and insurance scheme that applies to all employees in Denmark. No leading employee has a pension scheme beyond what is supported in the Danish Occupation Pension Act. The yearly contribution is 8% of salary.

Principles for non-financial benefits (other than pensions)

Members of the executive management are eligible for a mobile phone with subscription and broadband internet. Where this corresponds to local practices, the Company may provide use of a company car, but as of March 2021 this is currently only provided to one executive.

The Company aims to have sufficiently competitive salary and incentive programs to minimize the need for additional non-financial benefits. Any such shall always be based on market terms, local practices and shall facilitate the duties of senior executives. Non-financial benefits that are not insignificant and which go beyond what is offered to the entire workforce of Group, shall be reviewed and approved by the remuneration committee or the board of directors.

Share based remuneration / option plans

As of March 2021, the Company has a share option plan in place which covers all employees. The share option plan is intended to continue in 2021. For future years, participation may be reduced and number of options may be adjusted. The share option program aligns the interests of the employees with those of the shareholders and thereby contributes to the Company's strategies, long term interests and financial sustainability.

The total number of share options outstanding in share option programs shall not at any time exceed 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company. More than half of the share options will vest over no less than three years. For the 2021 grant, the plan is that 40 % will vest over two years and 60 % over three years. Each option, when exercised, will give the right to acquire one share in the Company. The options will be granted without consideration. Strikes prices shall reflect the listed price at the date of grant, and will have a premium of between 3 and 10%. Leading employees will each receive a specified maximum number of options, depending on achievement of individual key performance indicators. Vesting requires the option holder to still be an employee in the Company. The gain per instrument has been capped at NOK 5.00 maximum per share option for the last three issues. The gain per instrument will continue to be capped, but the cap may be adjusted depending on share price and number of options issued. Options that have not been exercised will lapse 4 years after the date of grant.

Employment agreements

Senior executives, depending on geography and applicable laws and practice, will typically have between 3 to 18 months' notice periods. The notice period in leading employees' employment agreements shall not exceed 18 months.

Any severance agreements shall be connected to confidentiality and anti-competitive clauses in the individual's employment contract, so that they compensate for restrictions in respect of his or her ability to take new work. Income from other sources shall be deducted from such arrangements.

Deviations from these guidelines

The board of directors may temporarily resolve to deviate from these guidelines, in whole or in part, if in specific circumstances there is a particular cause for such deviation, and a deviation is deemed necessary to serve Nel's longterm interests, sustainability, or financial viability.

When determining whether to resolve to deviate from these guidelines the board of directors has full discretion, and shall consider all relevant factors, including but not limited to:

• changes in or amendments to the relevant laws, rules or regulations (for example for regulatory, stock exchange control, tax or administrative purposes or to consider change in legislation or corporate governance requirements or guidance);
• changes of the CEO;
• changes of Nel's capital structure or ownership, inter alia by way of mergers, demergers or acquisitions;
• other events that cause the targets or conditions for remuneration to no longer be appropriate; and
• other exceptional circumstances where the deviation may be required to serve the long-term interests or sustainability of the Company, or to assure its financial viability.

Deviations from these guidelines and the background of any such deviation shall be included in the annual report to be prepared by the board of directors in accordance with Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act Section 6- 16b.
