The Nomination Committee of Solstad Offshore ASA (the "Company") comprises the following individuals:
Rune Lande, chairperson Ingebret Hisdal Owe Høines
The committee has held discussions with the members of the board and the chief executive officer and has consulted representatives for the relevant shareholders as to the composition of, and remuneration to, the Board of Directors (the "Board").
The Nomination Committee submits the following unanimous proposal to the annual general meeting of Solstad Offshore ASA, to be held on 15 May 2025:
1. Election of members to the board of directors
Pursuant to the company's articles of association, the board shall consist of three to seven board members. The board presently consists of Harald Espedal (chairperson), Frank Ove Reite, Peder Sortland, Ingrid Kylstad and Ellen Solstad, all elected by the shareholders.
Peder Sortland and Ellen Solstad are up for election this year. The Nomination Committee propose re-election for two years for Peder Sortland and Ellen Solstad. Further, the committee proposes that Svein Oskar Stoknes is elected as a personal deputy director for Frank Ove Reite for two years.
Svein Oskar Stoknes has been the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Aker ASA since 2019. Prior to this, he served as CFO of Aker Solutions ASA, where he joined in 2007 and was named CFO in 2014. Stoknes has also held a range of senior positions within finance and advisory for organizations like Tandberg, Citigroup, Norwegian Trade Council and ABB. He graduated from the Norwegian School of Management with a master's degree in business and economics, and has an MBA from Columbia Business School in New York. Stoknes is a director of Akastor ASA, Aker Capital AS and several other companies where Aker is the largest shareholder.
The Board will thus consist of the following members (election period in parenthesis):

Svein Oskar Stoknes (deputy director for Frank Reite) (2025-2027)
It is the opinion of the committee that the composition of the board ensures that the board can attend the common interests of all shareholders, meets the company's need for expertise, capacity and diversity and ensures that the board can function effectively as a collegiate body.
