The General Meeting is the Company’s supreme corporate body. It elects the Board of Directors and the auditor and is the forum for presentation and discussion of other issues of general interest to shareholders. Every shareholder of the Company has the right to attend the General Meetings.

The date of the Ordinary General Meeting is published as a part of the Financial Calendar for the year. The Financial Calendar is posted at this website.

Notice of the General Meetings shall be sent to shareholders no later than three weeks before the meeting is to be held. The Articles of Association stipulate that documents that are to be considered at a General Meeting may be published on the corporate website instead of being enclosed to the notice of the meeting. This also applies to documents which by law must be attached to the notice of the General Meeting. Individual shareholders are nonetheless entitled to have the documents sent to them free of charge, upon request to the Company. General Meetings of the Company may be held in Arendal or Oslo.

Attendance forms may be sent to the Company until the day before the General Meeting in order to enable as many shareholders as possible to attend. If any shareholder is unable to attend, he or she may attend by proxy. The minutes from the General Meeting are published as soon as possible at this website.
