According to the Articles of Association of the Company the Board of Directors shall be comprised of five members and the ratio of each gender within the Board shall be no less than 40%.  Elections will be repeated until the results are legitimate in regard to gender ratios.

The Board of the Company received a rightful claim for a multiplication election from shareholders that control more than 1/10 of the share capital, cf. Article 63(7) of Act No 2/1995 on Public Limited Companies.  A multiplication election will therefore be applied for the election of members of the Board of Directors at the meeting.

As the term of office of the current Board of Directors is not completed, Board elections cannot take place unless the mandate of the current Board are withdrawn. Accordingly, the meeting will first vote on the motion under agenda item 1, whether to withdraw the mandate of the current Board of Directors. Should that be approved, Board elections will take place. Should the Shareholders’ Meeting not approve the motion under agenda item 1, Board elections will not take place.
