percent of the shares and votes in the Company, propose that the Annual General
Meeting (“AGM”) resolves that, for the period until the next Annual General
Meeting, the Chairman of the Board shall be remunerated with SEK 300,000 and
other ordinary Board members shall be remunerated with SEK 175,000 each. It is
proposed that the auditor be remunerated against an approved bill.
Item 9
The Shareholder intend to present the complete proposal in accordance with this
item, regarding the election of the Board of Directors as well as the election
of auditor, no later than in connection with the AGM.
Item 10
The Shareholder proposes that the AGM resolves on the adoption of a long-term
incentive program for certain key executives through a directed issue of
warrants. The Shareholder proposes that the AGM resolves on the issue of a
maximum of 1,300,000 warrants, free of charge (2022/2026:A), entailing an
increase of the share capital upon full exercise with a maximum of approximately
SEK 48,308 (calculated on a quota value of SEK 0.037160 / share). Furthermore,
the following main conditions shall apply to the resolution.
- The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the
shareholders’ pre- emptive rights, only vest in certain key employees in the
Company according to the below:
-
Jörgen Evjen (CEO): a maximum of 400,000 warrants

Johan Sjöberg (Chief Exploration Manager) a maximum of 200,000
warrants

200,000 warrants
-
Cathryn MacCallum, (Head of ESG) a maximum 200,000 warrants
-
Blesilda Bredesen (Group Controller) a maximum 100,000 warrants
The reason for the deviation is to create conditions for retaining competent
people in the Group and to increase the motivation of such people. In light of
the terms of the program and other circumstances, the Shareholder considers that
the proposal is beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.
- One (1) warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in
the Company at a subscription price corresponding to 100 percent of the volume-
weighted average price for the Company’s share according to Euronext Growth
Oslo’s official stock price list during ten (10) trading days immediately before
the Company’s AGM held 2022-06- 21 (to be rounded to two decimal places and
converted to SEK based on the latest SEK
/ NOK exchange rate one trading day before the Company’s AGM 2022-06-21), but
not lower than the share’s quota value (SEK 0.037160 / share). The entire
premium shall be transferred to the free premium fund.

within one (1) month from the date of the resolution. The board of directors has
the right to extend the subscription period.

the period from the day the warrants have been registered with the Swedish
Companies Registration Office up to and including 2026-06-21, provided that the
holder of warrants, at the time when he/she subscribes for shares with support
of warrants, does not have access to inside information as defined in the Market
Abuse Regulation and provided that subscription of shares does not take place
during a “Closed Period” as defined in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and

representing not less than nine tenths of the votes cast as well as the shares
represented at the shareholders’ meeting.

resolution.
- The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the
shareholders’ pre- emptive rights accrue the Company’s current chairman of the
