The Extraordinary General Meeting 25 November 2022 resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to decide, in one or more transactions, on the issuance of shares and the issuance of options and other special rights entitling to shares referred to in Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Limited Liability Companies Act as follows:

The number of shares to be issued based on the authorization may in total amount to a maximum of 295,000,000 shares, including the directed share issue of maximum of 17,857,142 new shares to be directed to VG-Shipping Ltd or parties nominated by it in relation to the subscription guarantee given by VG-Shipping Ltd for the company’s warrants 2-2021 (TO9).

The Board of Directors decides on all the terms and conditions of the issuances of shares and of options and other special rights entitling to shares. The issuance of shares and of options and other special rights entitling to shares may be carried out in deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights (directed issue), if there is a weighty financial reason for the Company.

Shares may be conveyed either against payment or free of charge in the company’s share issues. A directed share issue may be a share issue without payment only if there is an especially weighty reason for the same both for the company and in regard to the interests of all shareholders in the Company.

The authorization is valid until 30 June 2024, and it replaces the authorization granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting on 1 October 2021.
