The shares of the Company and the right to vote for shares
As of the date of this notice, the company's share capital is NOK 125,747,660 divided into 12,574,766 shares. Each share carries one vote, however, no voting rights may be exercised for the Company's own shares (treasury shares). As of March 31, 2021, the Company owned 466,865 own shares.
Each shareholder has the right to vote for the number of shares owned by the shareholder and registered in the shareholder's register with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (Euronext VPS) at the time of the general meeting. If a share acquisition has not been registered with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (Euronext VPS) at the time of the general meeting, voting rights for the acquired shares may only be exercised if the acquisition is reported to the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (Euronext VPS) and proven at the general meeting. In a share transfer, the parties may agree that the seller can exercise the shareholder rights until the rights have been assumed by the acquirer.
In the company's view, neither the beneficial owner nor the agent has the right to vote for shares registered on nominee accounts with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (Euronext VPS), cf. the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 4-10. The beneficial owner may, however, vote for the shares in the event all necessary steps are taken to terminate the custodian registration of the shares, and the shares are transferred to an ordinary account registered with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (Euronext VPS), in the owner's name. Provided that the owner can document such conduct, and he has an actual ownership interest in the company, he may, in the company's opinion, vote for the shares, even though they are not yet registered on an ordinary VPS-account.
The shareholders' rights
A shareholder cannot demand that new items are added to the agenda now, as the deadline for such request has expired, cf. the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 5-11 second sentence.
A shareholder has the right to make proposals for a resolution regarding the items which will be considered by the general meeting.

A shareholder has the right to request board members and the CEO to provide necessary information to the general meeting that may influence the approval of the annual accounts and the Board of Directors' report; items brought before the general meeting for approval; the company's financial state, including information on other companies in which the company participates, and other items to be discussed at the general meeting, unless the information requested may not be disclosed without causing disproportionate harm to the company.
If additional information is necessary, and an answer is not given at the general meeting, a written answer shall be prepared within two weeks from the date of the general meeting. Such answer shall be available at the company's office and sent to shareholders requesting the information. If the answer is considered material for evaluation of the circumstances mentioned in the previous paragraph, the answer should be sent to all shareholders with known addresses.
