av egne aksjer vil gi Selskapet fleksibilitet, bl.a.
i
forhold
til
oppfyllelse
av
aksjeinsentiv
programmer for ansatte. Styret foreslår derfor
at

vedtar
å

general meeting in 2015.
Den foreslåtte fullmaktens størrelse er like
under
10

registrert
aksjekapital.
Fullmakten vil kun benyttes innenfor gjeldende
regelverk.

ingen
autorisasjon
for
styret
til
å
vedta
nye
insentivordninger, og denne fullmakten kan
ikke benyttes til å finansiere styremedlemmers
opsjoner. Forslag til vedtak:
The size of the proposed authorization is
slightly below 10% of the registered share
capital. The authorization will only be utilized
within applicable rules and regulations. The
authorization does not give the Board the
authority to adopt new incentive schemes and
this authorization cannot be used to fund
Board member's options. Proposed resolution:
a) Styret gis fullmakt til å kjøpe aksjer i Selskapet.
Aksjene

kjøpes
til
alminnelige
markedsbetingelser i eller i forbindelse med et
regulert marked der aksjene omsettes.
a) The Board of Directors is authorized to
acquire shares in the Company. The shares are
to be acquired at market terms in or in
connection with a regulated market where the
shares are traded.
b) Aksjene skal kun avhendes for å oppfylle
forpliktelser i forhold til insentivprogrammer
godkjent av aksjonærene. Ingen fullmakt er
under
dette
punkt
gitt
til
å
skape
nye
insentivprogram.
b) The shares may only be used to fulfill
obligations under incentive schemes approved
by the shareholders. No new authority is
granted by this item for new incentive schemes.
c) Den maksimale pålydende verdi av aksjene
som totalt kan erverves i henhold til denne
fullmakt er NOK 293.294. Det minste beløp som
kan betales for hver aksje som kjøpes i henhold
til denne fullmakt er NOK 20, og det maksimale
beløp er NOK 200.
c) The maximum face value of the shares which
the Company may acquire pursuant to this
authorization is in total NOK 293,294. The
minimum amount which may be paid for each
share acquired pursuant to this power of
attorney is NOK 20, and the maximum amount
is NOK 200.
d) Denne fullmakten omfatter retten til å
etablere pant i Selskapets egne aksjer.
d) The authorization comprises the right to
establish pledge over the Company's own
shares.
e) Denne fullmakten gjelder fra registrering i
Foretaksregisteret og til og med 30. juni 2017.
e) This authorization is valid from registration
with
the
Norwegian
Register
of
Business
Enterprises and until and including 30 June
2017.
f) Fullmakten erstatter eksisterende fullmakt ved
registrering i Foretaksregisteret.
f)
The
authorization
replaces
the
current
authorization when registered in the Norwegian
Register of Business Enterprises.

12. FULLMAKT TIL STYRET TIL Å FORHØYE AKSJEKAPITALEN VED UTSTEDELSE AV NYE AKSJER

Styret foreslår å videreføre eksisterende fullmakt til å utstede aksjer, dog hensyntatt en økt registrert aksjekapital siden ordinær generalforsamling i 2015. I samsvar med norsk anbefaling for eierstyring og selskapsledelse foreslår styret å dele fullmakten i to; en for oppfyllelse av insentivprogram (med unntak for opsjoner til styremedlemmer utstedt på eller etter 15. juni 2010) og en som kan benyttes i forbindelse med oppkjøp. Fullmaktene er formulert slik at de samlet sett ikke skal kunne innebære utstedelse av mer enn 10 % av registrert aksjekapital. For å muliggjøre utstedelse av aksjer til ansatte og/eller i forbindelse med rettede emisjoner, foreslås at styret kan fravike eksisterende aksjonærers fortrinnsrett ved tegning.

12.1 Fullmakt vedrørende Insentivprogram

Fullmakten innebærer at den ikke kan benyttes til å utstede aksjer i forbindelse med styremedlemmers opsjoner som er tildelt på eller etter 15. juni 2010, dvs. ordinær generalforsamling i 2010. Fullmakten innebærer ingen autorisasjon for styret til å vedta nye insentivordninger. Styret foreslår at generalforsamlingen fatter følgende vedtak:

a) Styret gis fullmakt til å forhøye aksjekapitalen med inntil NOK 293.294 ved en eller flere utstedelser av totalt inntil 14.664.700 aksjer, hver pålydende NOK 0,02. Tegningskurs og øvrige vilkår fastsettes av styret.

b) Fullmakten skal omfatte kapitalforhøyelse mot innskudd i andre eiendeler enn penger, eller rett til å pådra Selskapet særlige plikter.

12. BOARD AUTHORIZATION TO INCREASE THE SHARE CAPITAL BY ISSUANCE OF NEW SHARES

The Board proposes to renew the existing authorization to issue shares, however so that a larger share capital since the ordinary general meeting 2015 has been taken into account. In accordance with the Norwegian Code on Corporate Governance, the Board proposes to split the authorization into two; one relating to fulfillment of incentive programs (except for Board directors' options granted on or after 15 June 2010) and one which can be utilized in connection with acquisitions. The authorizations are worded in such a way that they in the aggregate cannot result in issuance of new shares of more than 10% of the registered share capital. In order to make possible share issues to employees and/or private placements, it is proposed that the Board may set aside existing shareholders' right to subscribe shares.

12.1 Authorization regarding incentive program

The authorization cannot be used to issue shares in connection with Board members' options granted on or after 15 June 2010, i.e. the ordinary general meeting in 2010. The authorization does not give the Board the authority to adopt new incentive schemes. The Board proposes that the General Meeting makes the following resolution:

a) The Board of Directors is authorized to increase the Company's share capital by a total amount of up to NOK 293,294, by one or several share issues of up to a total of 14,664,700 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.02. The subscription price and other terms will be determined by the Board of Directors.

b) The authorization includes the right to increase the Company's share capital in return for non-cash contributions or the right to

assume special obligations on behalf of the
Company.
c)
Aksjonærenes
fortrinnsrett
etter
allmennaksjeloven § 10-4 kan fravikes av styret.
c) The preferential rights pursuant to Section 10-
4 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act
may be deviated from by the Board of Directors.
d) Fullmakten skal benyttes til bruk for utstedelse
av aksjer i forbindelse med Selskapets til enhver
tid
gjeldende
insentivprogrammer
i
Opera
konsernet.
Fullmakten
kan
ikke
benyttes
i
forbindelse med opsjoner som måtte utstedes til
styremedlemmer på eller etter 15. juni 2010.
d) The authorization may only be used for
issuing of new shares in relation to the
Company's incentive schemes existing at any
time in the Opera group. The authorization
cannot be used in connection with options that
may be granted to directors on or after 15 June
2010.
e)
Fullmakten
gjelder
fra
registrering
i
Foretaksregisteret og frem til og med 30. juni

Business Enterprises and shall be valid until and

authorization

av Selskapets aksjekapital.
g) The authorization cannot be used if the
Company in the period of 28 June 2016 to 30

issued new shares in the Company representing
more than 10% of the Company's share capital.

Principles of corporate governance at Opera Software ASA

General principles, implementation and reporting on corporate governance

Opera Software ASA ("Opera" or the "Company") strongly believes that strong corporate governance creates higher shareholder value. As a result, Opera is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance. Opera's principles of corporate governance have been developed in light of the Norwegian Code of Practice for corporate governance (the "Code"), dated October 30, 2014, as required for all listed companies on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The Code is available at www.nues.no. The principles are further developed and are in accordance with section 3-3b and section 3-3c of the Norwegian Accounting Act, which can be found at www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19980717-056.html/. Opera views the development of high standards of corporate governance as a continuous process and will continue to focus on improving the level of corporate governance.

The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for corporate governance at Opera and ensures that the Company implements sound corporate governance. The Board of Directors has defined Opera's basic corporate values, and the Company's ethical guidelines and guidelines on corporate social responsibility are in accordance with these values.

Opera's activities

Opera's vision is that we are shaping an open, connected world. This is reflected in Article 3 of the Articles of Association, which reads, "The Company's business shall be to develop, produce and sell software and associated services and all activities related thereto, including participation in other companies and other activities with similar purposes." However, reaching this goal is about much more than leading the innovation of web technologies. Our business is based on close relationships with customers, partners, investors, employees, friends, and communities all over the world — relationships we are committed to developing by conducting our business openly and responsibly. Our corporate policies are developed in order to be true to this commitment.

CSR guidelines

The Board of Directors has adopted corporate social responsibility ("CSR") guidelines. The CSR guidelines cover a range of topics including human rights, employee relations, health, environment & safety, anti-discrimination and anti-corruption. Opera Software is a member of the UN Global Compact. Opera respects and supports the Global Compact's ten principles in the areas of Human Rights, Labor, Environment and Anti-Corruption. Please see the Company's webpage for the "Communication on Progress" related to the UN Global Compact (www.unglobalcompact.org/COPs/detail/19864/). Please also see the Company's webpage for the CSR Report at http://www.operasoftware.com/company/investors/corpgov/.

Equity and dividends

The Company's equity is considered to be adequate relative to Opera's financial objectives, overall strategy and risk profile.

To achieve our ambitious long-term growth objectives, it is Opera's policy to maintain a solid equity ratio. Opera believes our need for growth can be met while also allowing for a dividend distribution, as long as the Company is reaching its target growth and cash-generation levels. For this reason, the Company will consider continuing to pay dividends over the next years. Dividend payments will be subject to approval by the shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meetings. Any proposal to the General Meeting to grant the Board of Directors an authorization to approve the distribution of dividends will be presented for a vote at the Annual General Meeting. However, given the ongoing public offer process, no dividend is proposed for 2015.

Authorizations granted to the Board of Directors to increase the Company's share capital will be restricted to defined purposes and will, in general, be limited in time to no later than the date of the next Annual General Meeting. To the extent that an authorization to increase the share capital shall cover issuance of shares under employee stock incentive schemes and other purposes, the Company will consider presenting the authorizations to the shareholders as separate items.

The Board of Directors may also be granted the authority to acquire own shares. Authorizations granted to the Board of Directors to acquire own shares will also be restricted to defined purposes. To the extent that an authorization to acquire own shares shall cover several purposes, the Company will consider presenting the authorization to the shareholders as separate items. Such authority, by statute, may apply for a maximum period of 2 years and will state the maximum and minimum amount payable for the shares. Opera will, however, in general limit the duration of such authorizations to 1 year. In addition, an authorization to acquire own shares will state the highest nominal value of the shares that Opera may acquire, as well as the mode of acquiring and disposing of own shares. Opera may not at any time hold more than 10% of the total issued shares as own shares.

Current authorizations for the Board of Directors are set out in note 9 to the Annual Report.

Equal treatment of shareholders and transactions with close associates

A key concept in Opera's approach to corporate governance is the equal treatment of shareholders. Opera has one class of shares, and all shares are freely transferable (with possible exceptions due to foreign law restrictions on the sale and offering of securities). All shares in the Company carry equal voting rights. The shareholders exercise the highest authority in the Company through the General Meeting. All shareholders are entitled to submit items to the agenda and to meet, speak and vote at the General Meeting.

Any decision to waive the preemption rights of existing shareholders to subscribe for shares in the event of an increase in share capital will be presented for a vote at the Annual General Meeting. Where the Board of Directors resolves to carry out an increase in the share capital and waive the preemption rights of the existing shareholders on the basis of a mandate granted to the Board, an explanation will be publicly disclosed in a stock exchange announcement issued in connection with the increase of the capital.

In 2015, there have been no significant transactions outside the normal course of business with closely related parties.

If the Company should enter into a non immaterial transaction with associated parties within Opera or with companies in which a director or leading employee of Opera or close associates of these have a material direct or indirect vested interest, those concerned shall immediately notify the Board of Directors.

Any such transaction must be approved by the Board of Directors, and, where required, be publicly disclosed to the market as soon as possible.

In the event of non immaterial transactions between the Company and a shareholder, a shareholder's parent company, members of the Board of Directors, executive personnel or close associates of any such parties, the Board of Directors will arrange for a valuation to be obtained from an independent third party, unless the transaction requires the approval of the General Meeting.

The Company has an established and closely monitored insider-trading policy.

Any transaction the Company carries out in own shares will be carried out either through the stock exchange or at prevailing market prices if carried out in any other way.

Freely negotiable shares

Opera has no limitations on the transferability of shares and has one class of shares. Each share entitles the holder to one vote.

General Meetings

Through the General Meeting, the shareholders exercise the highest authority in the Company. General Meetings are held in accordance with the Code. All shareholders are entitled to submit items to the agenda and to meet, speak and vote at General Meetings. The Annual General Meeting is held each year before the end of June. Extraordinary General Meetings may be called by the Board of Directors at any time. The Company's auditor or shareholders representing at least five percent of the total share capital may demand that an Extraordinary General Meeting be called.

General Meetings are convened by written notice to all shareholders with known addresses no later than 21 days prior to the date of the meeting. Proposed resolutions and supporting information, including information on how to be represented at the meeting, voting by proxy and the right to propose items for the General Meeting, are generally made available to the shareholders no later than the date of the notice. According to the Company's Articles of Association, attachments to the calling notice may be posted on the Company's website and not sent to shareholders by ordinary mail. Shareholders who wish to receive the attachments may request the Company to mail such attachments free of charge. Resolutions and the supporting information are sufficiently detailed and comprehensive to allow shareholders to form a view on all matters to be considered in the meeting.

Shareholders who are unable to be present in the meeting are encouraged to participate by proxy, and a person who will be available to vote on behalf of shareholders as their proxy will be nominated. Proxy forms will allow the proxy holder to cast votes for each item separately. A final deadline for shareholders to give notice of their intention to attend the meeting or vote by

proxy will be set in the notice for the meeting. Such deadline will be set as close as possible to the date of the General Meeting and under every circumstance, in accordance with the principles of section 5-3 of the Public Limited Companies Act.

The Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Chairman of the Nomination Committee, CEO, CFO and the auditor will, under normal circumstances and unless there are valid reasons to be absent, be present at the meeting in person. The Chairman for the meeting is generally independent. Notice, enclosures and protocol of meetings are available on Opera's corporate website http://www.operasoftware.com/company/investors/.

The General Meeting elects the members of the Board of Directors (excluding employee representatives), determines the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, approves the annual accounts, and decides such other matters, which by law, by separate proposal, or according to the Company's Articles of Association are to be decided by the General Meeting. The General Meeting will normally vote separately on each candidate for election for the Board of Directors, the Nomination Committee and any other corporate bodies to which members are elected by the General Meeting.

The Board of Directors may decide to allow electronic participation in General Meetings and will consider this before each General Meeting.

The minutes from General Meetings will be posted on the Company's website within 15 days after the General Meeting has been held. Information that a General Meeting has been held will be made public as soon as possible after the end of the meeting.

Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee is a body established pursuant to the Articles of Association and shall consist of three to five members. The members and the chairperson are elected by the General Meeting. Members of the Nomination Committee serve for a two-year period, but may be re-elected. The current members of the Nomination Committee are Jakob Iqbal (Chairman), Michael Tetzschner and Nils Foldal. The members of the Nomination Committee are independent of the Board of Directors and the executive personnel. Currently, no member of the Nomination Committee is a member of the Board of Directors. Any member who is also a member of the Board of Directors will normally not offer himself or herself for re- election to the Board.

The tasks of the Nomination Committee are to propose candidates for election as shareholderelected members of the Board of Directors and members of the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee will be encouraged to have contact with shareholders, the Board of Directors and the Company's Chief Executive Officer as part of its work on proposing candidates for election to the Board of Directors.The Committee cannot propose its own Committee members as candidates for the Company's Board of Directors. Further, the Committee shall make recommendations regarding the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors. Its recommendations will normally be explained, and information about proposed candidates will normally be given, no later than 21 days before the General Meeting. The tasks of the Nomination Committee are further described in the Company's Nomination Committee guidelines, as adopted by the Annual General Meeting held on June 14, 2011. Remuneration of the members of the Nomination Committee will be determined by the General Meeting.

Information regarding deadlines for proposals for members to the Board of Directors and the Nomination Committee will be posted on Opera's corporate website. Please see http://www.operasoftware.com/company/investors/nominations/ for further information regarding the Nomination Committee.

Corporate assembly

Opera does not have a corporate assembly, as the employees have voted, and the General Meeting in 2010 approved, that the Company should not have one.

Composition and independence of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the management of the Company. This includes a responsibility to supervise and exercise control of the Company's activities. The Board of Directors shall consist of 5-10 members, including the employee representatives. The proceedings and responsibilities of the Board of Directors are governed by a set of rules of procedure. It is the Company's intention that the members of the Board of Directors will be selected in the light of an evaluation of the Company's needs for expertise, capacity and balanced decision making, with the aim of ensuring that the Board of Directors can operate independently of any special interests and that the Board of Directors can function effectively as a collegial body.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors will be elected by the General Meeting unless statutory law prescribes that the Chairman must be elected by the Board of Directors. The Board members are encouraged to own shares in the Company. Please see

www.operasoftware.com/company/investors/board/ for a detailed description of the Board members, including share ownership. Pursuant to the Code, at least half of the shareholderelected members of the Board of Directors shall be independent of the Company's management and its main business connections. At least two of the shareholder-elected members of the Board of Directors shall be independent of the Company's main shareholders. In the Company's view, all directors are considered independent of the Company's main shareholders, and all shareholder-elected directors are independent of the Company's management and main business connections. Executive personnel should normally not be included in the Board of Directors. Currently, no executive employee is a director. The term of office for members of the Board of Directors is two years unless the General Meeting decides otherwise, but a director may be re-elected.

The work of the Board of Directors

The conduct of the Board of Directors follows the adopted rules of procedure for the Board of Directors. A specific meeting and activity plan is adopted towards the end of each year for the following period, normally revisited twice a year. The Board of Directors will meet a number of times within a year, including for strategy meetings, and it will hold additional meetings under special circumstances. Its working methods are openly discussed. Between meetings, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer update the Board members on current matters. There is frequent contact regarding the progress and affairs of the Company. Each Board meeting includes a briefing by one of the functional or department managers of the Company, followed by Q&A. The Board meetings are a continuous center of attention for the Board of Directors, ensuring executive personnel maintain systems, procedures and a corporate culture

that promote high ethical conduct and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Board of Directors has further established a Remuneration Committee and an Audit Committee. Currently, the Remuneration Committee and the Audit Committee each consists of three members. According to the Code, a majority of the members of each Committee should be independent from the Company. If the requirements for independence are not met,

Opera will explain the reasons in our Annual Report. Currently, Audun W. Iversen (Chairperson), Marianne Blystad and Erik Möller are members of the Audit Committee, and Sverre Munck (Chairperson), Christian Uribe and Andre Christensen are members of the Remuneration Committee. The requirements for independence are thus met.

The Audit Committee's main responsibilities include following up on the financial reporting process, monitoring the systems for internal control and risk management, having continuous contact with the appointed auditor, and reviewing and monitoring the independence of the auditor. The Board of Directors maintains responsibility and decision making in all such matters. Please see below under the section "Remuneration of the Executive Personnel" and the "Board Rules of Procedure" for the tasks to be performed by the Remuneration Committee.

The Board will consider evaluating its work, performance and expertise annually, and any report from such evaluation will upon request be made available to the Nomination Committee. The Board plans to carry out a self-evaluation process in 2016. To ensure a more independent consideration of matters of a material character in which the Chairman of the Board of Directors is, or has been, personally involved, such matters will be chaired by some other member of the Board of Directors. Please see www.operasoftware.com/company/investors/board/procedures/ for further information regarding the Rules of Procedure for the Board of Directors and the instructions for its Chief Executive Officer

http://www.operasoftware.com/company/investors/corpgov/. The Company has also established Rules of Procedure for our executive personnel.

Risk management and internal control

Management and control

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the management of the Company. This includes a responsibility to supervise and exercise control of the Company's activities. The Board has drawn up the rules of procedure for the Board of Directors of Opera. The purpose of these rules of procedure is to set out rules on the work and administrative procedures of the Board of Directors of Opera. The Board of Directors shall, among other things, ensure that the Company's business activities are soundly organized, supervise the Company's day-to-day management, draw up plans and budgets for the Company's activities, keep itself informed on the financial position of the Company, and be responsible for ensuring that the Company's activities, accounts, and asset management are subject to adequate control. In its supervision of the business activities of Opera, the Board of Directors will ensure that:

The Chief Executive Officer uses proper and effective management and control systems, including systems for risk management, which continuously provide a satisfactory overview of Opera's risk exposure.

  • The control functions work as intended and that the necessary measures are taken to reduce extraordinary risk exposure.
  • There exist satisfactory routines to ensure follow-up of principles and guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors in relation to ethical behavior, conformity to law, health, safety and working environment, and social responsibility.
  • Opera has a proper internal auditing system, capable of producing reliable annual reports.
  • Directives from the external auditor are obeyed and that the external auditor's recommendations are given proper attention.

The Board's duties can be found on our corporate website in the document called "Rules of Procedure for the Board of Directors of Opera Software ASA" found at http://www.operasoftware.com/company/investors/board/procedures/.

Executive Team

Opera's Board has drawn up instructions for the Executive Team of the Company. The purpose of these instructions is to clarify the powers and responsibilities of the members of the Executive Team and their duty of confidentiality.

The Executive Team conducts an annual strategy meeting with the Board of Directors. The strategy meeting focuses on product, sales, marketing, financial, organizational and the corporate development strategy for the Group.

The Board of Directors has ensured that the Company has sound internal control and systems for risk management that are appropriate in relation to the extent and nature of the Company's activities. The Company has performed a scoping of the financial risks in the Company and has established written control descriptions and process descriptions. The controls are executed on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis, depending on the specific control. The internal controls and systems also encompass the Company's corporate values, ethical guidelines and guidelines for corporate social responsibility. The Board of Directors carries out an annual review of the Company's most important areas of exposure to risk and its internal control arrangements. In December 2015, all Board members confirmed that they had read and complied with the Code of Conduct during the term of their directorship.

The Group's CFO is responsible for the Group's control functions for risk management and internal control. Opera publishes four interim financial statements in addition to the annual report. The financials are published on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Given the importance of providing accurate financial information, a centralized corporate control function and risk management function has been established ultimately consisting of the group corporate and business controllers. The corporate and business controller tasks are, among other things, to perform management's risk assessment and risk monitoring across the group's activities, to administer the Company's value-based management system and to coordinate planning and budgeting processes and internal controls reporting to the Board of Directors and Executive Team. The corporate and business controllers report into the CFO.

The Finance department prepares financial reporting for the Group and ensures that reporting is in accordance with applicable laws, accounting standards, established accounting principles and the Board's guidelines. The Finance department provides a set of procedures and processes

detailing the requirements with which local reporting units must comply. The Group has established processes and a variety of control measures that will ensure quality assurance of financial reporting. A series of risk assessment and control measures have been established in connection with the preparation of financial statements. Reporting instructions are communicated to the reporting units each month, following internal meetings when the reporting units have submitted their group reports, and the business controllers have reviewed the reporting package with the purpose of identifying any significant misstatements in the financial statements. Based on the reported numbers from the reporting units, the Finance department consolidates the Group numbers. Several controls are established to ensure the correctness of the consolidation, e.g., control types such as reconciliation, segregation of duties, management review and authorization.

The Group CFO, the head of Opera´s internal audit function and leaders of the reporting units are responsible for (i) the ongoing financial reporting and for implementing sufficient procedures to prevent errors in the financial reporting, (ii) identifying, assessing and monitoring the risk of significant errors in the Group's financial reporting, and (iii) implementing appropriate and effective internal controls in accordance with specified group requirements and for ensuring compliance with local laws and requirements. All reporting units have their own management, and the financial functions are adapted to the organization and activities. All monthly and quarterly operations reports are analyzed and assessed relative to budgets, forecasts and historical trends.

The Executive Team analyzes and comments on the financial reporting and business results of the Group on a quarterly basis. Critical issues and events that affect the future development of the business and optimal utilization of resources are identified, and action plans are put in place, if necessary.

The Audit Committee oversees the process of financial reporting and ensures that the Group's internal controls and the risk management systems are operating effectively. The Audit Committee performs a review of the quarterly and annual financial statements, which ultimately are approved by the Board of Directors.

Other guidelines

As an extension of the general principles and guidelines, Opera has drawn up additional guidelines.

Ethical and corporate social responsibility guidelines

The Board of Directors has adopted Ethical and Corporate Social Responsibility Guidelines that contain the basic principles that Opera will follow with respect to our ethical guidelines and our corporate social responsibilities ("CSR"). The guidelines contain the basic principles describing the rules governing business practice, personal conduct, and roles and responsibilities, ultimately describing topics including human rights, employee relations, health, environment & safety, anti-corruption and anti-discrimination. These general principles and guidelines apply to all employees and officers of the Group.

Information security

Opera has guidelines and information policies covering information security roles, responsibilities, training, contingency plans, etc.

Financial policies

Opera has established comprehensive internal procedures and systems to mitigate risks and to ensure reliable financial reporting.

Investor-relations guidelines

Opera is committed to reporting financial results and other relevant information based on openness and taking into account the requirement for equal treatment of all participants in the securities market. To ensure that correct information be made public, as well as ensuring equal treatment and flow of information, the Company's Board of Directors has approved an IR Policy. A primary goal of Opera's investor-relations activities is to provide investors, capital-market players and shareholders with reliable, timely and balanced information for investors, lenders and other interested parties in the securities market, to enhance understanding of our operations.

Remuneration of the Board of Directors

Remuneration for Board members is a fixed annual sum proposed by the Nomination Committee and approved at the Annual General Meeting. The remuneration reflects the responsibility, qualifications, time commitment and the complexity of their tasks in general. No Board members (or any company associated with such member) elected by the shareholders have assumed special tasks for the Company beyond what is described in this document, and no such member (or any company associated with such member) has received any compensation from Opera other than ordinary Board of Directors remuneration. All remuneration to the Board of Directors is disclosed in note 3 to the Annual Report.

A large number of the Company's shareholders are international investors with a different view on some of the recommendations in the Code. Hence, some of Opera's directors carry stock options in the Company, as disclosed in note 3 to the Annual Report. This practice will be further limited in the future, but it will not be excluded as a tool to enhance the interest of any particular international expert or senior executive to join the Board of Directors. Any grant of stock options to Board members will, however, be subject to specific approval by the General Meeting. Any Board member who takes on assignments for the Company in addition to his or her appointment as a Board member will disclose such assignments to the Board of Directors, which will determine the appropriate remuneration for the assignment in question.

Remuneration of executive personnel

A Remuneration Committee has been established by the Board of Directors. The Committee shall act as a preparatory body for the Board of Directors with respect to (i) the compensation of the CEO and other members of the Executive Team and (ii) Opera's corporate governance policies and procedures, which, in each case, are matters for which the Board of Directors maintains responsibility and decision making.

Details concerning remuneration of the executive personnel, including all details regarding the CEO's remuneration, are given in note 3 to the Annual Report. The performance-related remuneration to executive personnel is subject to an absolute limit. The Board of Directors assesses the CEO and his terms and conditions once a year. The General Meeting is informed about incentive programs for employees, and, pursuant to section 6-16 a) of the Public Limited Companies Act, a statement regarding remuneration policies for the Executive Team will be presented to the General Meeting. The Board of Director's statement on the remuneration of the Executive Team will be a separate appendix to the agenda for the General Meeting. The Company will also normally make clear which aspects of the guidelines are advisory and which, if any, are binding. The General Meeting will normally be able to vote separately on each of these aspects of the guidelines. In addition, the Board of Directors' declaration on the compensation policies of the Executive Team is included in a separate section to the Annual Report.

Information and communications

Communication with shareholders, investors and analysts is a high priority for Opera. The Company believes that objective and timely information to the market is a prerequisite for a fair valuation of the Company's shares and, in turn, the generation of shareholder value. The Company continually seeks ways to enhance our communication with the investment community.

The Opera corporate website (http://www.operasoftware.com/company/investors/) provides the investment community with information about the Company, including a comprehensive investor-relations section. This section includes the Company's investor-relations policy, annual and quarterly reports, press releases and stock-exchange announcements, share price and shareholding information, a financial calendar, an overview of upcoming investor events, and other relevant information.

During the announcement of quarterly and annual financial results, there is a forum for shareholders and the investment community to ask questions of the Company's management team. Opera also arranges regular presentations in Europe and the United States, in addition to holding meetings with investors and analysts. Important events affecting the Company are reported immediately to the Oslo Stock Exchange in accordance with applicable legislation and posted on http://www.operasoftware.com/company/investors/. All material information is disclosed to recipients equally in terms of content and timing.

The Board has further established an IR-policy for contact with shareholders and others beyond the scope of the General Meeting.

Takeovers

The Board of Directors endorses the recommendation of the Code. Opera's Articles of Association do not contain any restrictions, limitations or defense mechanisms on acquiring the Company's shares.

In accordance with the Securities Trading Act and the Code, the Board has adopted guidelines for possible takeovers.

In the event of an offer, the Board of Directors will not seek to hinder or obstruct takeover bids for Opera's activities or shares. Any agreement with the bidder that acts to limit the Company's ability to arrange other bids for the Company's shares will only be entered into where the Board believes it is in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders. Information about agreements entered into between the Company and the bidder that are material to the market's evaluation of the bid will be publicly disclosed no later than at the same time as the announcement of an impending bid is published.

If an offer is made for the shares of Opera, the Board of Directors will make a recommendation as to whether the shareholders should or should not accept the offer and will normally arrange for a valuation from an independent expert.

Auditor

The auditor participates in meetings of the Board of Directors that deal with the annual accounts, as well as upon special request. Every year, the auditor presents to the Audit Committee a report outlining the audit activities in the previous fiscal year and highlighting the areas that caused the most attention or discussions with management, as well as a plan for the work related to the Company's audit. The auditor also reports on internal control observations during the conduct of the audit, including identified weaknesses and proposals for improvement. The auditor will make himself available upon request for meetings with the Board of Directors during which no member of the executive management is present at least once each year, as will the Board of Directors upon the auditor's request. The General Meeting is informed about the Company's engagement and remuneration of the auditor and for fees paid to the auditor for services other than the annual audit, and details are given in note 3 to the Annual Report.

Declaration of executive compensation policies

PART 1: POLICIES AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION EXCEPT SHARE-BASED INCENTIVES

The Board of Directors has, in accordance with the Public Limited Liability Companies Act § 6- 16a, developed policies regarding compensation for the Executive Team.

The objectives of the Executive Team compensation program are, in particular, to (i) attract, motivate, retain and reward the individuals on the Executive Team and (ii) ensure alignment of the Executive Team with the long-term interests of the shareholders. The Company's executive compensation program is intended to be performance driven and is designed to reward the Executive Team for both reaching key financial goals and strategic business objectives and enhancing shareholder value.

The most important components of Executive Team compensation are as follows: (i) base salary, (ii) cash-incentive bonus and (iii) long-term, equity-based incentives. Only the statement in part 2 "Share-based incentives", below, will be binding for the Board of Directors.

1. Base salary

Base salary is typically the primary component of Executive Team compensation and reflects the overall contribution of the executive to the Company. The determination of base salaries for the executives considers a range of factors, including (i) job scope and responsibilities, (ii) competitive pay practices, (iii) background, training and experience of the executive, and (iv) past performance of the executive at the Company. Adjustments to base salary are ordinarily reviewed every 12 months or longer by the Board.

2. Cash incentive bonus

The Company uses a cash-incentive bonus to focus the Executive Team members on, and reward the Executive Team members for, achieving key corporate objectives, which typically involve a fiscal-year performance period. Key drivers of cash-incentive bonuses for the Executive Team are typically corporate financial and operational performance. Cash-incentive bonuses tied to strategic business objectives, which may be individual to or shared among the Executive Team members, may also be considered as part of the cash-incentive bonus. The determination of the total bonus that can be potentially earned by an executive in a given year is based on, among other factors, the executive's current and expected contributions to the Company's performance, his or her position within the Opera Executive Team, and competitive compensation practices. Any cash-incentive bonus is capped, so no member of the Executive Team can be awarded more than 200% of his or her on-target cash-incentive bonus unless the Board of Directors makes exemptions in particular cases.

In 2015, the Board approved the Executive Compensation Plan for FY 2015, applicable to all Executive Team members.

The cash-incentive bonus for 2015 was based on achievement of certain Corporate Results.

For the 2015 Corporate Results component, 50% was tied to meeting the FY 2015 Reported Revenue target for the Company and 50% to meeting the FY 2015 Reported Adjusted EBITDA (excluding for extraordinary one-time costs) target for the Company. The Board believes that Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are key financial measures of the operational performance of the Company. Revenue is a fundamental measure of our success at selling our solutions, growing users for our products and services, innovating and competing in the marketplace. Adjusted EBITDA is a very good indicator of pre-tax profit generation of the Company, as it eliminates the effects of events that either are not part of our core operations or are non-cash such as depreciation related to strategic acquisitions and stock-based compensation.

Based on the FY 2015 Executive Compensation Plan, there were no interim, intra-year payments, no bonus based on Corporate Results was paid or earned for attainment of Revenue below 90% achievement, and the Company had to meet at least 80% of the FY 2015 Reported Adjusted EBITDA (including extraordinary one-time costs, but excluding advisory costs associated with Opera's acquisition-related activities) target component to award any bonus associated with the FY 2015 revenue target.

Provided the aforementioned conditions were met for Reported Revenues and Reported Adjusted EBITDA (including extraordinary one-time costs, but excluding advisory costs associated with Opera's acquisition-related activities), the bonus was calculated as follows: from 90%-100%, bonus percentage achievement was interpolated based on a 30% bonus at 90% achievement and a 100% bonus at 100% achievement, and, from 100%+ achievement, bonus percentage achievement was interpolated based on a 100% bonus at 100% achievement and a 200% bonus at 110% achievement. Total bonuses paid for the fiscal year for Corporate Results under the plan could not exceed 200% of the bonus opportunity for each Corporate Result component for any one individual.

In 2016, the Board approved the Executive Compensation Plan for FY 2016. As a starting point, the cash-incentive bonus for FY 2016 for Executive Team members is based on Corporate Results for FY 2016. Certain members of the Executive Team may, however, have a portion of his or her cash-incentive bonus tied to individualized, strategic business targets linked to his or her particular area of responsibility.

For the Corporate Results component, 50% is tied to meeting certain FY 2016 Reported Revenue targets for the Company and 50% to meeting certain FY 2016 Reported Adjusted EBITDA (excluding extraordinary one-time costs) targets for the Company. Based on the FY 2016 Executive Compensation Plan, there are no interim or intra-year payments. The Adjusted EBITDA bonus is calculated as follows: from 80%-100% target achievement, bonus percentage achievement is interpolated based on a 30% bonus at 80% achievement and a 100% bonus at 100% achievement, and, from 100%+ achievement, bonus percentage achievement is interpolated based on a 100% bonus at 100% achievement and a 200% bonus at 110% achievement. There is no Adjusted EBITDA bonus payout if Adjusted EBITDA achievement is

below 80% of target. The revenue bonus is calculated as follows: from 90%-100% target achievement, bonus percentage achievement is interpolated based on a 30% bonus at 90% achievement and a 100% bonus at 100% achievement, and, from 100%+ achievement, bonus percentage achievement is interpolated based on a 100% bonus at 100% achievement and a 200% bonus at 110% achievement. There is no revenue bonus payout if revenue achievement is below 90% of target, or if Adjusted EBITDA achievement is below 80% of target. Total bonuses paid for the fiscal year for Corporate Results under the plan shall not exceed 200% of the bonus opportunity for each Corporate Result component for any one individual, unless the Board of Directors makes exemptions in particular cases.

3. Severance-payment arrangements

Pursuant to Section 15-16 second subsection of the Norwegian 2005 Act relating to Employees' Protection, CEO Lars Boilesen has waived his rights under Chapter 15 of the Act. As compensation, he is entitled to a severance payment of two years' base salary if his employment is terminated by the Company. If the CEO has committed a gross breach of his duty or other serious breach of the contract of employment, the employment can be terminated with immediate effect without any right for the CEO to the mentioned severance payment.

Except for the CEO as described above, the employment agreements for the members of the Executive Team have no provisions with respect to severance payments if a member of the Executive Team should leave his or her position, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Severance payment arrangements, if any, will thus be based on negotiations between the Company and the relevant member of the Executive Team on a case-by case basis.

4. Current public offer

Except for the CEO, no member of the Executive Team has any specific bonuses related to the completion of the current public offer for the shares in the Company.

5. Pension

Members of Executive Team participate in regular pension programs available for all employees of Company. For members of the Executive Team based in Norway, an additional pension agreement is in place. This agreement is based on a defined-contribution scheme and contributes 20% of salary over 12G.

PART 2: SHARE-BASED INCENTIVES

1. Existing programs

The Company currently has two equity-based incentives: ordinary stock options and Restricted Stock Units ("RSU"). The RSU program has replaced the previous stock-option program, but already-granted and not exercised or terminated stock options are still outstanding. No new stock options will be issued under the previous stock-option program.

2. Vesting criteria for existing RSUs

For members of the Executive Team, the RSUs are typically linked to achievement of further

specified targets related to reported revenue and reported adjusted EBITDA. All RSUs granted to members of the Executive Team in 2015 have been issued with vesting criteria which are in accordance with the approvals given by the Annual General Meeting held in 2014, the Annual General Meeting in 2015, and/or the Extraordinary General Meeting held in January 2016.

If the current public offer to acquire shares in the Company is completed, all RSUs granted to members of the Executive Team and issued pursuant to the approvals given by the Ordinary General Meeting in 2014 and 2015, will automatically vest and be settled. Any RSUs issued pursuant to the approval given by the Extraordinary General Meeting in January 2016 will not vest automatically if the current public offer is completed.

PART 3: 2015 COMPLIANCE

In 2015, the Executive Team received base salaries and cash-incentive bonuses in line with the Executive Compensation Policy as presented to the 2015 Annual General Meeting. Increases in base salaries and cash-incentive bonuses for FY 2015 have been given based on individual merit and to ensure closer alignment with competitive pay practices.

Total compensation earned for the Executive Team in FY 2015 is summarized in note 3 of the consolidated financial statements.

During 2015, no deviations from the share-based compensation programs as approved by the 2014 Annual General Meeting were made with respect to the Executive Team.

Merk at ikke avkryssede felt i agendaen nedenfor vil anses som en instruks om å stemme "for" forslagene i innkallingen, likevel slik at fullmektigen avgjør stemmegivningen i den grad det blir fremmet forslag i tillegg til eller til erstatning for forslagene i innkallingen. I det tilfellet stemmeinstruksen er uklar vil fullmektigen utøve sin myndighet basert på en fornuftig tolkning av instruksen. Dersom en slik tolkning ikke er mulig vil fullmektigen kunne avstå fra å stemme.
