ERKLÆRING TIL GENERALFORSAMLINGEN I PETRONOR E&P ASA VEDRØRENDE FASTSETTELSE AV LØNN OG ANNEN GODTGJØRELSE TIL DAGLIG LEDER OG ANDRE LEDENDE ANSATTE
Etter allmennaksjeloven § 6-16a skal PetroNor E&P ASAs ("Selskapet") styre ("Styret") utarbeide en erklæring om fastsettelse av lønn og annen godtgjørelse til daglig leder og andre ledende ansatte.
Erklæringen skal inneholde retningslinjer for fastsettelse av lønn og annen godtgjørelse, og herunder angi hovedprinsippene for selskapets lederlønnspolitikk.
Allmennaksjeloven § 6 16a (3) pålegger også Styret å redegjøre for den lederlønnspolitikk som har vært ført i det foregående regnskapsår. Selskapet ble etablert i 2021 og redegjør derfor ikke for lederlønnspolitikk som har vært ført i det foregående regnskapsår.
Denne erklæring avgis for første gang til Selskapets ekstraordinære generalforsamling den 16. november 2021 2021.
1. HOVEDPRINSIPP FOR SELSKAPETS LEDERLØNNSPOLITIKK
Som ledende aktør innenfor sin næring, er Selskapet avhengig av å tilby lønninger som kan rekruttere de dyktigste ledere.
Som en større internasjonal aktør innenfor sin bransje, er Selskapet ved fastleggelse av lønninger for ledere i Selskapet henvist til å konkurrere i et marked som på toppledernivå er internasjonalt.
Det er Styrets politikk at man for å sikre seg det best mulige lederskap må tilby lønninger på dette nivå som den enkelte er fornøyd med, og som er konkurransedyktige i et internasjonalt marked.
UNOFFICIAL OFFICE TRANSLATION – IN CASE OF DISCREPANCY THE NORWEGIAN VERSION SHALL PREVAIL:
DECLARATION TO THE GENERAL MEETING OF PETRONOR E&P ASA REGARDING DETERMINATION OF SALARIES AND OTHER REMUNERATION TO THE DIRECTOR AND OTHER SENIOR EXECUTIVES
Pursuant to the Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 6-16a, PetroNor E&P ASA's (the "Company") Board of Directors (the "Board") shall prepare a statement on the determination of salaries and other remuneration to the general manager and other senior executives.
The declaration shall contain guidelines for determining salaries and other remuneration, and state the main principles for the company's executive pay policy.
Section 6-16a (3) of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act also requires the Board to account for the executive pay policy that has been pursued in the previous financial year. The Company was established in 2021 and therefore does not account for executive pay policy that has been pursued in the previous financial year.
This declaration is submitted for the first time to the Company's extraordinary general meeting on 16 November 2021.
1. MAIN PRINCIPLES OF THE COMPANY'S MANAGEMENT PAY POLICY
As a leading player in its industry, the Company is dependent on offering salaries that can recruit the most talented managers.
As a major international player in its industry, the Company is determined to compete in a market that is at the top management level internationally when determining salaries for managers in the Company.
It is the Board's policy that in order to ensure the best possible leadership, salaries must be offered at satisfactory levels for the individual, and that are competitive in an international market.
Ut fra Selskapets internasjonale virksomhet kan Lederlønnsnivået som utgangspunkt ligge forholdsvis høyt i nasjonal sammenheng.
Det er Selskapets politikk at lederlønningene i all hovedsak skal komme til uttrykk i en fast månedslønn som reflekterer vedkommendes stilling og erfaring.
Pensjonsordninger skal i utgangspunktet være de samme for ledere som fastsatt generelt for ansatte i virksomheten. Styret kan imidlertid fastsette tilleggspensjon og/eller forsikringsordninger for enkelte ledende ansatte.
Etterlønnsordninger som etableres ved fratreden, vil normalt bli sett i sammenheng med konfidensialitetsklausuler og konkurransebegrensende klausuler i den enkeltes arbeidsavtale, slik at de kun kompenserer for slike begrensninger i vedkommendes adgang til å ta nytt arbeid. Etterlønnsordninger skal som utgangspunkt ha fradrag for inntekter på annet hold.
Selskapet har på nåværende tidspunkt ingen bonus ordning, og heller ingen aksjebasert insentivordning. Styret vil vurdere innføring av slike ordninger i fremtiden.
3. BEHANDLINGEN AV DENNE ERKLÆRING 3. PROCESSING OF THIS DECLARATION
Denne erklæring skal behandles av generalforsamlingen, og generalforsamlingen skal holde "rådgivende avstemming", der man kan godkjenne retningslinjene, eventuelt forkaste disse.
Due to the Company's interntional busienss, the level of executive pay may, as a starting point, be relatively high in a national context.
2. LØNN OG ANDRE GODER 2. SALARY AND OTHER GOODS
It is the Company's policy that executive salaries should mainly be expressed in a fixed monthly salary that reflects the person's position and experience.
Pension schemes shall in principle be the same for managers as stipulated in general for employees in the company. The Board may, however, determine additional pensions and/or insurance schemes for certain executives.
Severance pay schemes established upon resignation will normally be seen in connection with confidentiality clauses and anti-competitive clauses in the individual employment contract, so that they only compensate for such restrictions in the person's right to take up new work. As a starting point, severance pay schemes shall have deductions for income elsewhere.
Currently, the Company does not have any bonus schemes, nor any share based incentive schemes. The Board will consider to introduce such schemes in the future.
This statement shall be considered by the general meeting, and the general meeting shall hold an "advisory vote", where the guidelines can be approved, or rejected.

The Company was established on 1 October 2021, and these are the first financial statements prepared for Petronor E&P ASA and cover the month period ended 31 October 2021. The financial statements were approved by written resolution of the board on 11 November 2021.
These financial statements have been prepared to support the listing application by the Company to the Oslo Stock Exchange. The Company has been incorporated with the intention to replace the Australian registered parent company, PetroNor E&P Ltd (PetroNor Australia), at the top of the group.
PetroNor Australia is currently listed on Oslo Euronext Expand, but has proposed to its shareholders to redomicile to Norway via a Scheme of Arrangement (Scheme). The Company and PetroNor Australia entered into the Scheme Implementation Agreement on 7 October 2021. Under the Scheme, all of PetroNor Australia shares held by PetroNor Australia shareholders will be transferred to the Company. In exchange PetroNor Australia shareholders will receive one new Company share for every one PetroNor Australia share held as at the Scheme record date. Completion of the Scheme is conditional on various shareholder and court approvals in addition to the Company's ability to list its shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange. If the Scheme is implemented, the Company will become the top company in the consolidated group and will inherit the existing commitments and contingencies of the consolidated group from current parent company PetroNor E&P Ltd.
The re-domiciliation is not expected to result in any material changes to the PetroNor Australia Group's assets, management, operations or strategy and is expected to be structured in a tax-neutral basis to the Company and its shareholders.
The Company has yet to start trading, but once it has replaced its parent Company as the top company in the Group via the proposed Scheme, it will takeover the Group's principal activities of exploration and production of oil and gas.
The financial statements of PetroNor E&P Ltd are publicly available on its website www.petronorep.com and also available on the historic press releases to the Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker PNOR.
2. Basis of preparation

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies.

7. Risk Management
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. As at 31 October 2021, the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk without taking into account any collateral held or other credit enhancements, which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties and financial guarantees provided by the Company arises from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the statement of financial position.
To minimise credit risk, the Company has tasked its management to develop and maintain the Group's credit risk gradings to categorise exposures according to their degree of risk of default. The credit rating information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the management uses other publicly available financial information and the Company's own trading records to rate its major customers and other debtors. The Company's exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.
The Company's current credit risk grading framework comprises the following categories:
| Category | Description | Basis for recognising expected credit losses |
|---|---|---|
| Performing | The counterparty has a low risk of default and does not have any past-due amounts |
12-month ECL |
| Doubtful | Amount is >30 days past due or there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition |
Lifetime ECL – not credit impaired |
| In default | Amount is >90 days past due or there is evidence indicating the asset is credit-impaired |
Lifetime ECL – credit-impaired |
| Write-off | There is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and the Company has no realistic prospect of recovery |
Amount is written off |
The table below details the credit quality of the Company's financial assets as well as the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk by credit risk rating grades.
| Other receivables | As at 31 October 2021 |
|---|---|
| n/a | External credit rating |
| - | Internal credit rating |
| Lifetime ECL | 12 month or lifetime ECL |
| 1,000,000 | Gross carrying amount NOK |
| - | Loss allowance NOK |
| 1,000,000 | Net carrying amount |
For other receivables, the Company has applied the simplified approach in IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL. The expected credit losses are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor's current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date.
Liquidity risk
The Company seeks to limit its liquidity risk by ensuring financial support is available from the shareholders. Trade payables are normally settled within 90 to 120 days of the date of receipt of invoice.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities at 31 October 2021 based on contractual undiscounted payments.

8. Financial instruments – Fair values
Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities.
Financial assets consist of bank balances and cash. Financial liabilities consist of other liabilities.
The fair values of the Group's financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying amounts at the reporting date largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
9. Commitments and contingencies
As of the perioed ended 31 October 2021 the Company had no commitments or contingencies.
10. Events subsequent to reporting date
The Company has not identified any events with significant accounting impacts that have occurred between the end of the reporting period and the date of this report.
11. Summary of significant accounting policies
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the financial statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and due to their short-term nature, they are not discounted.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Share capital
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of any one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(i) Financial assets
The Company´s financial assets are other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company's business model for managing them. The Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value.
Financial assets at amortised cost
The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and,
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly-liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value and generally have a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Cash equivalents are classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company's statement of financial position) when:
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
(ii) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value. Loans, borrowings and payables are recognised at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Derivatives are financial liabilities when the fair value is negative, accounted for similarly as derivatives as assets.
Loans, borrowings and payables
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.
Payables are measured at their nominal amount when the effect of discounting is not material.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Events after the reporting period
New information on the company's financial position on the end of the reporting period which becomes known after the reporting period is recorded in the annual accounts. Events after the reporting period that do not affect the company's financial position on the end of the reporting period but which will affect the company's financial position in the future are disclosed if significant.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements of PetroNor E&P ASA.
The financial statements comprise:
- The balance sheet as at 31 October 2021
- The income statement, statement of comprehensive income for the month period ended 31 October 2021
- Statement of changes in equity
- Statement of cash flows for the month period ended 31 October 2021
- Notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies
In our opinion:
The accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company for the month period ended 31 October 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the month period ended 31 October 2021, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with laws, regulations, and auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company as required by laws and regulations, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
