Under ITEM 11a (1), it is proposed to re-appoint Ms. Gisele Marchand as Chairman of the board of directors. Although Ms. Marchand is considered independent, ECGS has concerns over her aggregate time commitments. Ms. Marchand is currently serving as board Chairman of Gjensidige Forsikring ASA and Selvaag Bolig ASA (both listed) and non-executive director of Scatec Solar ASA (listed) and Norgesgruppen ASA (substantial non-listed company), which exceeds ECGS' guidelines. In light of concerns over aggregate time commitments, ECGS recommends to vote OPPOSE. There are no further peculiarities.
