Attachment
Attachment to item 5 - Proposal for a reduction of the share premium fund
The Board is of the opinion that the share premium fund, which is tied-up equity, is larger than necessary. The Board proposes to reduce the share premium fund and transfer the reduced amount to Other Equity, see the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Act § 3-2 and Chapter 12. This will enable greater flexibility, hereunder by increasing the Company's ability to distribute dividend to its shareholders in the future.
The Board, based on the audited balance sheet of 31 March 2010 and the subsequent capital increases, propose that the General Meeting approve the following resolution:
- The share premium fund will be reduced with NOK 838.039.937 from NOK 838.039.937 to NOK 0,- (zero). The reduced amount will be transferred to Other Equity ("Annen egenkapital").
Please find the audited balance sheet of 31st March 2010 attached.
