Information about general meetings

The General Meeting is the highest decision-making authority of the company. All shareholders are entitled to submit items to the agenda, meet, speak and vote at general meetings.

In accordance with Norwegian corporate law, the physical presence of the shareholders or their authorized representatives is required in order to vote. In addition, votes can only be given for shares registered in the owner’s name.

Holders of shares in the form of American Depository Shares (ADSs) need to exchange their ADSs for shares in accordance with the Deposit Agreement and then register such shares with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (Verdipapirsentralen) if they want to vote for their shares at the general meeting.

The annual general meeting is normally held in May. Notice of the meeting is sent to all shareholders individually, or to their depository banks.

The general meeting elects the shareholders’ representatives to the corporate assembly, and approves the annual result and any proposed dividend payment. In accordance with Norwegian legislation, the shareholders consider and vote on the appointment of the external auditor based on the proposal from the corporate assembly, and approve the remuneration to be paid to the external auditor.
