The mandate of the Nomination Committee is regulated in the Company's articles of association § 2-11 which state:
"The Company shall have a Nomination Committee consisting of a chairman and two members elected by the shareholders at the General Meeting. The election period is two years, unless a shorter period has been decided by the General Meeting. The members of the Committee can be re-elected.
A majority of the members of the Committee shall be independent of the Board of Directors and the management of the Company. The CEO and other members of the management of the Company cannot be members of the Committee. However, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO shall be at least annually invited to attend the meeting of the Committee. Sections 6-7, 6-8 and 6-27 of the Public Companies Act apply correspondingly in relation to the members of the Committee.
The Nomination Committee shall make recommendations to the General Meeting on the following matters:
The Nomination Committee must give reasons for their recommendations.
The Nomination Committee shall operate in accordance with the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance.
The General Meeting can set out further guidelines for the work of the Nomination Committee."
In the process of making recommendations to the General Meeting, the committee has taken contact with the company's senior management, representatives of governing bodies as well as the largest shareholders.
The continuity and the well-functioning collegium within the Board has been highlighted by several members of the Board of Directors.
Nomination Committee wants to maintain the continuity in the Board of Directors and to carry forward a well-functioning collegium with a broad professional background and good grounding among the Company's biggest shareholders. All Board members on election have agreed to continue as members of the Board of Directors if elected, and the Nomination Committee proposes the following:

The Nomination Committee has gathered information from listed and comparable companies' remuneration for member of the Board of Directors and sub committees. The goal for the Nomination Committee is to ensure that the Board of Directors have remuneration in accordance with the market terms. The Nomination Committee also aims to base the remuneration on attendance fees for the members elected by the Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee encourages all trustees elected to reinvest parts of the board's remuneration in Protector shares. As a result of the matters described above, the nomination committee proposes that the remuneration to the Board of Directors increases with 5-10 %, which reflects the remuneration level in comparable companies:
| Board of Directors | Renumeration 2017/2018 | Proposal 2018/2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Chairman of the Board of Directors | 500.000 | 550.000 |
| Deputy chairman of the Board of Directors | 310.000 | 340.000 |
