UNOFFICIAL OFFICE TRANSLATION – IN CASE OF DISCREPANCY THE NORWEGIAN VERSION SHALL PREVAIL:

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF NRC GROUP ASA (org.no. 910 686 909)

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

The Board of Directors hereby calls for an Extraordinary General Meeting of NRC Group ASA (the "Company") at the Company's offices with address Lysaker Torg 25, 1366 Lysaker, at 10:00 hours (CET) on 5 November 2018. The Chair of the Board, Helge Midttun, will open the General Meeting.

The following items are on the agenda:

  • 1. Opening of the extraordinary general meeting
  • 2. Registration of attending shareholders
  • 3. Election of chair of the meeting
  • 4. Approval of the notice and agenda
  • 5. Election of a representative to sign the minutes together with the chair
  • 6. Authorisation to increase the share capital in connection with acquisition of VR Track Oy

Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published on 11 October 2018 regarding the Company's execution of an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in VR Track Oy ("VR Track"). The stock exchange announcement is also available at the Company's website www.nrcgroup.com.

As part of the transaction, the Company shall issue consideration shares to the seller, VR-Group Ltd. ("VR Group"), as partial settlement of the purchase price.

Based on the above, the Board of Directors has proposed that the General Meeting resolves to grant to the Board of Directors the following authorization to increase the share capital through issuance of shares to VR Group:

a) The Board of Directors is authorised to increase the share capital by up to NOK 9,877,953.00, through issuance of up to 9,877,953 new shares, each with a par value of NOK 1.00.

  • b) The authorisation may only be used for issuance of shares to VR-Group Ltd. in connection with fulfilment of the Company's obligations in accordance with the share purchase agreement regarding purchase of all shares in VR Track Oy.
  • c) The subscription price and other subscription terms are determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of the share purchase agreement entered into with VR-Group Ltd.
  • d) The authorization covers share capital increases against contribution in other assets than cash, cf. Section 10-2 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act.
  • e) The Board of Directors may waive the existing shareholders' preferential rights pursuant to Section 10-4 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, cf. Section 10-5 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act.
  • f) The authorization is valid until 30 June 2019.

As the purpose of the authorisation is to issue shares to the seller of VR Track, it is necessary to give the Board of Directors the authority to waive the existing shareholders' preferential rights to subscribe for new shares. Reference is made to the Company's continuous reporting through the Oslo Stock Exchange with respect to events after the last balance sheet date, and circumstances which must be considered as part of a decision to subscribe for shares in the Company.

7. Changes to the Board of Directors

As part of the Company's acquisition of VR Track, it is desirable that VR Group, which after the transaction is expected to be the largest shareholder of the Company, is represented on the Company's Board of Directors. In addition, other adjustments to the composition of the Board of Directors may also be proposed. A detailed proposal will be presented prior to the General Meeting and will be published on the Company's website www.nrcgroup.com and through Newsweb.

The Company's registered share capital is NOK 44,026,270.00 divided into 44,026,270 shares, each with a par value of NOK 1.00. The Company holds 372 treasury shares. Voting rights cannot be exercised for the company's treasury shares and treasury shares do not count when a decision requires the consent of a certain portion of the share capital, cf Section 5-4 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act. Each share carries one vote at the company's general meetings. Shareholders are entitled to vote for the number of shares they own, provided they have been entered in the register of shareholders by the fifth working day prior to the General Meeting (registration date). The shareholders have the following rights in connection with the General Meeting:
