With reference to the announcement made 31 March 2023 regarding Notice of the Annual General Meeting 28 April 2023 (NewsWeb (oslobors.no))

As a response to feedback from shareholders, The Board of Directors intend to change the previously announced proposed ammendment to § 4B in the Articles of Associations as follows, to reintroduce the limitation stating that the company may not own more than 10% of the entire share captial of the company:

§ 4B

In the period from 28. April 2023 until the ordinary general meeting of the company, which will be held in 2028, the board of directors is authorized to buy own shares on behalf of the company. Purchasing of own shares shall be conducted to the official rate of the shares, but the board of directors may in special circumstances deviate from the official price with up to 10%. The company may not own more than 10% of the entire share capital of the company.

The rationale for the proposed changes announced 31 March 2023 was to align the Articles of Associations to the Faroese law, in which the 10% limitation has been removed. However, as shareholders have expressed concerns about this, the Board of Directors will on the Annual General Meeting 28 April 2023 propose to maintain the 10% ownership limitation.
