The Nomination Committee has proposed that Mr. Stephen Kavanagh, a seasoned airline professional with over 35 years of industry experience, including as the CEO of Aer Lingus, is elected as new shareholder elected and independent member to the Board of Directors.
Mr. Stephen Kavanagh is a highly experienced commercial leader from the aviation industry with a proven track record and strong management, negotiation and communication skills, key to supporting the transformation of Aer Lingus in a period of increased competition. He has held several management positions at Aer Lingus, most recently as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) from February 2015 to 2019, and he still serves on the Board as a Non-Executive Director for Aer Lingus.
Previously he held positions at Aer Lingus as Corporate Planning Director, Chief Commercial Officer, and Chief Strategy Officer. He currently serves as a Non-Executive Director on the Board of Directors of Oman Air, Oman Airports Management Company, aircraft lessor CDB Aviation and as advisory board member at AAP Aviation. He holds a Master of Business Studies and Bachelor of Commerce from University College Dublin.
“On behalf of the whole board, I would like to express our appreciation to Mr. Sondre Gravir for his valuable contribution during a key period for the company. Mr. Gravir has been instrumental as Norwegian has advanced its market position after the 2021 restructuring. I have strong faith that the experience and aviation industry know-how of Mr. Kavanagh can be a strong contribution to both the Board and to Norwegian as a whole,” says Svein Harald Øygard, Chair of the Board of Norwegian.
The agenda also includes authorisation to the Board of Directors to decide on dividend for 2022 of up to NOK 0.25 per share. The authorisation is subject to approval from holders of the company’s debt instruments. If approval is not obtained by the annual general meeting in 2024, the Board of Directors proposes to set up a dividend fund to set aside the amounts that otherwise would have been distributed. Decisions related to dividends for the 2023 financial year will be made at the 2024 annual general meeting, based on a defined dividend policy. The dividend fund will have a broad investment mandate with a mid-term investment horizon, at most until the full repayment of the relevant debt instruments in September of 2026.
