THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

OF

ORKLA ASA

On 16 April 2020, the Annual General Meeting of Orkla ASA (the "Company") was held at Orkla Hus, Drammensveien 149, Oslo.

The meeting was opened by the Chair of the Board of Directors, Stein Erik Hagen.

Mr Hagen referred to the notice of meeting and confirmed that it had been sent to all shareholders with a known address. In accordance with Article 12, second paragraph, of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors had decided that the documents to be considered at the general meeting would not be sent out with the notice, but would instead be made available to shareholders on the Company's website.

The following documents have been made available on the Company's website: the annual Financial Statements and Annual Report of the Board of Directors, the Auditor's Report and the Nomination Committee's recommendations dated 20 March 2020, and the annexes relating to agenda items 3, 4, 5 and 6 dated 26 March 2020.

A list was then made of the shareholders and proxies attending the meeting.

Due to the coronavirus outbreak the shareholders were requested to avail themselves of the possibilities of casting advance votes or voting by proxy and as far as possible to refrain from attending in person. Due to the same reason representation of Orkla's Board of Directors and administration was kept to a minimum.

Those present were:

5 persons with voting rights. Those who voted in advance, attended the meeting or had given proxy represented a total of 488,040,006 shares and votes. The represented shares were equivalent to 48.79 per cent of the Company's voting shares, i.e. excluding the Company's treasury shares.

Those present also included:

President and CEO Jaan Ivar Semlitsch. Chair of the Board of Directors Stein Erik Hagen. The Company's elected auditor, Ernst & Young AS, represented by State Authorised Public Accountant Erik Mamelund (via video).

There were no comments on the notice of meeting or the agenda, and the meeting was declared lawfully convened.

The following matters were considered at the meeting:

1. Election of Meeting Chair

Idar Kreutzer was elected Meeting Chair. A detailed list of the voting results is appended to these minutes.

Chair of the Board of Directors Stein Erik Hagen gave an account of the assessments on which the Board's share dividend proposal was based.

A detailed list of the voting results is appended to these minutes.

The Meeting Chair provided an introduction to the rules governing the Board of Directors' statement on the determination of the pay and other remuneration of executive management pursuant to section 6-16(a) of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act, which the General Meeting is required to consider under the Act.

4. Report on the Company's corporate governance

The Meeting Chair provided an introduction to the rules governing corporate governance and referred to the Board of Directors' corporate governance report which is included in Orkla's Annual Report and to the annex to agenda item 4. The General Meeting took due note of the report.

5. Authorisation to acquire treasury shares

At the Annual General Meeting on 25 April 2019, the Board of Directors was authorised to acquire shares in Orkla ASA until the date of the Annual General Meeting in 2020.

An authorisation to acquire treasury shares was first granted at the Annual General Meeting on 7 May 1998, and has been renewed every year since then. The Board of Directors has used the authorisation to make modest purchases of treasury shares. The company has not acquired any shares under the authorisation granted by the General Meeting in 2019.

As before, the reason for this proposal is to enable the Board of Directors to exercise the power under section 9-2 onwards of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act to acquire treasury shares totalling no more than 10 per cent of the Company's share capital. Shares acquired pursuant to this authorisation must be cancelled or used for employee incentive programmes.

In keeping with the Board of Directors' proposal, the General Meeting adopted the following resolution:

The General Meeting of Orkla ASA hereby authorises the Board of Directors to permit the company to acquire shares in Orkla ASA with a nominal value of up to NOK 125,000,000, divided among a maximum of 100,000,000 shares, provided that the Company's holding of treasury shares does not exceed 10 per cent of shares outstanding at any given time. The amount that may be paid per share shall be no less than NOK 20 and no more than NOK 120. The Board of Directors shall be free to decide the methods of acquisition and disposal of treasury shares. This authorisation shall apply from 17 April 2020 until the date of the Annual General Meeting in 2021.

This authorisation may be used to fulfil existing incentive programmes for employees, and for employee incentive programmes adopted by the General Meeting in accordance with agenda item 3.3.

A detailed list of the voting results is appended to these minutes.

In keeping with the Board of Directors' proposal, the General Meeting adopted the following resolution:
