Item 3: Election of one or two persons to approve the minutes

Magnus Molin (Svolder AB), or the person appointed by the board of directors if he has an impediment to attend, is proposed to be elected to approve the minutes of the general meeting together with the chairman. The task of approving the minutes of the general meeting also includes verifying the voting list and that the advanced votes received are correct stated in the minutes of the general meeting.

Item 7: Resolution on transfer of own shares to the participants in the long-term incentive programme LTIP 2018 by reason of the previous resolution regarding LTIP 2018

The board of directors proposes that, in order to secure delivery of shares at exercise of the performance share rights in accordance with the previously resolved long-term incentive programme LTIP 2018, the general meeting resolves to transfer own shares to the participants in LTIP 2018 in accordance with below. The rationale for the board of directors’ proposal is that, by reason of the merger with Nordic Waterproofing Holding A/S, a general meeting resolution is required to transfer shares in accordance with the programme.

Transfer of a maximum of 96,161 own shares may occur on the following terms and conditions:

• The right to receive shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be granted to the participants in LTIP 2018 with a right for each of the participants to receive no more than the maximum number of shares allowed under the terms and conditions for LTIP 2018. Furthermore, subsidiaries within the Nordic Waterproofing-group shall have the right to, free of consideration, receive shares, whereafter such a subsidiary shall be obliged to immediately, free of consideration, transfer such shares to the participants in LTIP 2018 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the programme.
