At the time of this notice, the Company has issued 413,936,640 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.05. Each share carries one vote at the general meeting, and also equal rights in all other respects. As of the date of this notice, the Company does not own treasury shares.

The online remote participation is being organized by DNB Bank ASA, Registrar's Department and its supplier Lumi. By attending the online general meeting, shareholders will be able to listen to a live audiocast of the meeting, submit questions relating to the items on the agenda and cast their votes in the real time. Registration is not required to participate online, but shareholders must be logged in before the meeting starts. If you are not logged in before the general meeting starts, you will not be able to participate. Log in starts an hour before. See separate guide on how shareholders can participate electronically, cf. appendix to this notice. In order to attend the virtual general meeting, shareholders need to access the Lumi AGM solution on: https://dnb.lumiagm.com and then enter the "Meeting ID": 168-529-784 and click "JOIN".

Aksjeeiere som ikke har anledning til å møte selv på generalforsamlingen kan gi fullmakt til styrets leder (og den han utpeker) eller annen person til å stemme for sine aksjer. Fullmakt kan sendes inn elektronisk via VPS investortjenester eller ved å fylle ut og sende inn fullmaktsskjema vedlagt i henhold til instruksene angitt i skjemaet. Fullmakten må være skriftlig, datert og underskrevet. Fullmakter må være mottatt av DNB Bank ASA, Verdipapirservice, innen 6. juni 2023 kl. 16:00 (Oslo tid), med mindre aksjeeier har registrert påmelding innen denne fristen. Dersom aksjeeiere er påmeldt innen fristen kan fullmakt fremlegges senest på generalforsamlingen. Se vedlagte fullmaktsskjema for ytterligere informasjon om fullmakter.

Beslutninger om stemmerett for aksjeeiere og fullmektiger treffes av møteåpner, hvis beslutning kan omgjøres av generalforsamlingen med alminnelig flertall.

Etter Selskapets syn har verken den reelle eieren eller forvalteren rett til å stemme for aksjer som er registrert på en VPS-konto som tilhører forvalteren, jf. allmennaksjeloven § 4-10. Den reelle eieren av aksjer kan imidlertid stemme for aksjene hvis han godtgjør at han har tatt nødvendige skritt for å avslutte forvalterregistreringen av aksjene, og at aksjene vil overføres til en ordinær VPS-konto som står i navnet til eieren. Hvis eieren kan godtgjøre at han har tatt slike skritt, og at han har en reell aksjeeierinteresse i selskapet, kan han etter Selskapets oppfatning stemme for aksjene selv om de ennå ikke er registrert på en ordinær VPS-konto.

Aksjeeierne kan ikke kreve at nye saker settes på dagsordenen etter at fristen for å kreve dette er utløpt, jf. allmennaksjeloven § 5-11 andre setning. En aksjeeier har rett til å fremsette forslag til vedtak i de saker som generalforsamlingen skal behandle.

Shareholders who are unable to attend the general meeting may authorize the chair (and whomever he designates) or another person to vote for its shares. Proxies may be submitted electronically through VPS investor services or by completing and submitting the proxy form attached in accordance with the instructions set out in the form. The proxy must be in writing, dated and signed. Proxy forms must be received by DNB Bank ASA, Registrar's Department, no later than 6 June 2023 at 16:00 (Oslo time), unless the shareholder has registered attendance within this deadline. If shareholders have registered attendance within the deadline, proxies may be presented no later than at the general meeting. See the enclosed proxy form for further information on proxies.

Decisions on voting rights for shareholders and representatives are made by the person opening the meeting, whose decision may be reversed by the general meeting by majority vote.

It is the view of the Company that neither the beneficial owner nor the nominee may exercise voting rights for shares which are registered on nominee accounts, cf. the Norwegian public limited liability companies act section 4-10. However, the beneficial owner of the shares may exercise such voting rights if he proves that he has taken the necessary steps to terminate the nominee arrangement, and that the shares will be transferred to an ordinary VPS account in the name of the beneficial owner. If the beneficial owner can prove that he has initiated such measures, and that he has beneficial ownership to the shares, he may, in the opinion of the Company, exercise voting rights for the shares even if the shares have not yet been transferred to an ordinary VPS account.

A shareholder cannot demand that new items are added to the agenda, when 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.

En aksjeeier kan kreve at styremedlemmer og daglig leder på generalforsamlingen gir tilgjengelige opplysninger om forhold som kan innvirke på sakene som er forelagt aksjeeierne til avgjørelse og Selskapets økonomiske stilling, med mindre de opplysninger som kreves ikke kan gis uten uforholdsmessig skade for Selskapet. Dersom det må innhentes opplysninger, slik at svar ikke kan gis på generalforsamlingen, skal det utarbeides skriftlig svar innen to uker etter møtet. Svaret skal holdes tilgjengelig for aksjeeierne på selskapets kontor og sendes alle aksjeeiere som har bedt om opplysningen. Dersom svaret må anses å være av vesentlig betydning for bedømmelsen av forhold som nevnt i forrige avsnitt, skal svaret sendes alle aksjeeiere med kjent adresse.

A shareholder may request directors and the CEO to provide to the general meeting available information about matters that may affect the consideration of any matters that have been submitted to the shareholders for decision and the Company's financial position, unless the requested information cannot be disclosed without causing disproportionate harm to the Company. If additional information is necessary, and an answer cannot be 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 address.
