Tethys Oil AB's Nomination Committee for the 2013 Annual General Meeting, consisting of Dennis Harlin (Chairman), Vincent Hamilton, Jan Risberg and Mikael Petersson, proposes the following:
The Nomination Committee has obtained support of its proposal from shareholders representing approximately 31 per cent of the shares of the Company.
The Board proposes that no dividend is declared for the financial year 2012.
It is the aim of Tethys Oil to recruit, motivate and retain executives capable of achieving the objectives of the Group, and to encourage and appropriately reward superior performance in a manner that enhances shareholder value. Accordingly, the Group operates a Policy on Remuneration which ensures that there is a clear link to business strategy and a close alignment with shareholder interests, and aims to ensure that executives are rewarded fairly for their contribution to the Group's performance. The remuneration package of the executives in the Group (which refers to the Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer) in the Group contains five components: 1) basic salary; 2) pension arrangements; 3) yearly variable salary; 4) non-financial benefits; and 5) severance payments. More details are to be found in the Board's full proposal.
The Nomination Committee proposes that an independent and non-executive member of the Board invites four of the largest shareholders of the Company to form a Nomination Committee. The members of the Nomination Committee shall be announced adjacent to the Company's interim report for the second quarter 2013. If a member of the Committee resigns from the Nomination Committee before the Annual General Meeting 2013, the remaining members shall invite a new member.
The Nomination Committee shall prepare the following proposals for resolution to the Annual General Meeting 2014: (i) election of Chairman of the meeting, (ii) election of members of the Board of Directors, (iii) election of Chairman of the Board of Directors, (iv) remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, distinguishing between the Chairman and other members and remuneration for Board Committee work, (v) election of the auditor of the Company, (vi) remuneration of the Company's auditor; and (viii) principles of the nomination process for the Annual General Meeting 2015.
If the shareholding in the Company is significantly changed before the nomination Committee's work is completed, a change in the composition of the Nomination Committee may take place. The Nomination Committee shall remain in office until a new Nomination Committee has been appointed.
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to resolve, at one or more occasions until the next Annual General Meeting, to issue new shares with consideration in cash and/or with consideration in kind or by set-off and thereby be able to resolve to disapply the shareholders pre-emption rights. The purpose with the authorization and the reason for disapplying the shareholders' pre-emption rights is to enable the Company to make business acquisitions and to raise capital for the Company's business operations. The total number of shares that can be issued based on the authorization may not exceed 10 per cent of the shares. In case it is resolved to deviate from the shareholders pre-emption rights, the share issue shall be made in accordance with market conditions.
Tethys Oil AB's Annual Report and audit report and other documents for the Meeting, including Proxy form, will be available from the Company (address and telephone number stated above) and on the Company's web page www.tethysoil.com not later than April 30th, 2013. The documents will be sent free of charge to shareholders upon request.
The Board of Directors and President shall, if requested by any shareholder and if the Board is of the opinion that it can be done without causing material harm to the Company, provide disclosures about conditions that may impact assessment of an item of business on the agenda, about conditions that may impact assessment of the Company's or a subsidiary's financial situation, and about the Company's relationship with other Group company.
On the day this notice was issued, Tethys Oil AB had a total of 35,543,750 shares in issue with one vote each.
