Reference is made to the upcoming EGM 28.08.2024 – Call for meeting, Item 7 Nomination Committee, Election of members.
Further reference is made to the NUES recommendation that the nomination committee should be selected to take into account the general shareholder interests and be composed of members independent of the board and management, the board propose that the Nomination Committee shall consist of Øivind Thorstensen as Chairman and Kristian Falnes as member.
Øivind Thorstensen has extensive experience from the financial sector and is currently a Portfolio Manager at Kraft Fondene. He founded and established Kraft Høyrente, Kraft Nordic Bonds and Kraft Investment Grade. Previously, he worked as a CIO/Portfolio Manager at Heimdal Forvaltning AS.

He previously sat on the board of Fjord Line, Instabank ASA and DOF ASA. Falnes has a master’s in finance from BI and is an authorized financial analyst from NHH.
With respect to agenda item 7.3 “Members of the committee”, the board therefore proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolution:
