Etude de l'AG du 20/04/2017
In general, Orkla is in compliance with the Norwegian regulations relating to the
organisation and procedures of the AGM.
Under ITEMS 3.2, 3.3 and 5.2, the Board of Directors seeks approval for the Company's remuneration guidelines and a share-related incentive arrangement. Since we have various concerns with regard to the Company's executive remuneration package in general and the proposed share-related incentive arrangement in specific, we recommend opposition.
Under ITEM 6.3, it is proposed to re-elect Ms. Ingrid Jonasson Blank as member of the Board of Directors. In light of our concerns over her aggregate time commitments we recommend opposition.
Finally, under ITEM 9.2, the Nomination Committee seeks approval for the remuneration of the Board of Directors. Although we strongly welcome the proposed share-ownership requirement, we do not approve of such significant increases without adequate justification. As we do not agree with the motivation provided by the Nomination Commitee, we recommend opposition.
