  1. Approval of guidelines on remuneration to executive personnel
    In accordance with section 6-16a of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the Board of Directors has established guidelines on remuneration to executive personnel, which were approved by the annual general meeting in 2021.
    The Board of Directors has now prepared updated guidelines with respect to elements of remuneration, as well as certain other minor changes.
    In accordance with section 5-6 third paragraph and section 6-16a fifth paragraph of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the general meeting shall approve the updated guidelines. The guidelines are available on the Company's web site: www.nrcgroup.com.
    The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting passes the following resolution:
    "The general meeting approves the Company's updated guidelines for remuneration to executive personnel."
  2. Advisory vote on remuneration report
    In accordance with section § 6-16b of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act and related regulation, the Board of Directors has prepared a report regarding remuneration to executive personnel.
    The report has been reviewed by the company's auditor in accordance with section § 6-16b fourth paragraph. The report is available on the company's website.
    In accordance with section 5-6 fourth paragraph of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the general meeting shall consider the report by way of an advisory vote.
    On this background, the Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting approve the remuneration report.

    To continue to attract and retain key employees the Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting approves a new option program for key employees in the company in aggregate comprising 1,200,000 shares over two years, by making the following resolution:
    1. The Board of Directors is granted an authorization to increase the share capital by up to NOK 1,200,000. The subscription price and other subscription terms are determined by the Board of Directors.

    1. The authorization only applies to issuances of shares against payment in cash.
    2. The authorization may only be used for issuances of shares in order to fulfil the company's obligations pursuant to the option program for key employees.
    3. The shareholders' preferential rights pursuant to section 10-4 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act may be waived by the Board of Directors, cf section 10-5 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act.
    4. The authorization replaces the existing authorization to issue shares under the company's option program for key employees, resolved by the company's annual general meeting on 5 May 2022.
    5. The authorization is valid for a period of two years until 8 May 2026.
  1. Authorisation to acquire treasury shares
    Pursuant to sections 9-2 et seq. of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act, the Company may, on further specified terms, acquire treasury shares within a maximum limit of 10% of the share capital. Such acquisition can only take place if the General Meeting, with a majority as for amendments to the Articles of Association, has granted the Board of Directors an authorisation to do so, and such authorisation has been registered in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. At the company's Annual General Meeting on 4 May 2023, such authorisation was granted. The authorisation expires at the date of the Annual General Meeting in 2024.
    The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting extend the current authorisation to acquire treasury shares, through the following resolution:
    "The General Meeting grants the Board of Directors an authorisation to acquire shares in NRC Group ASA for up to a maximum nominal value of NOK 7,295,454.90. The Board of Directors' acquisition of shares pursuant to the authorisation can only take place between a minimum price of NOK 1 and a highest price of NOK 50 per share. The authorisation applies from registration in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and up until the Annual General Meeting in the spring of 2025, but not later than 30 June 2025. Acquisitions and disposals of treasury shares can take place in the manner found appropriate by the Board of Directors."
    As of 16 April 2024, the company holds 95,975 treasury shares.
  2. Authorisation to increase the share capital in connection with issuance of new shares
    At the company's Annual General Meeting on 4 May 2023, the Board of Directors was granted an authorisation to increase the company's share capital within a maximum limit of approximately 10% of the share capital. The object of the authorisation is to give the Board of Directors financial flexibility in connection with any acquisitions or similar transactions, and to be able to strengthen the company's equity in general.

The authorisation expires at the date of the Annual General Meeting in 2024 and the Board of Directors believes that the authorisation should be renewed, in order to attend to the aforementioned purposes.

In order to exercise the authorisation in the best possible manner commercially, it may be relevant in certain situations to make a private offering of shares to certain named persons and/or enterprises. The Board of Directors therefore requests that the authorisation provides the possibility to waive the shareholders' pre-emptive rights.

Based on the above, the Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting renews the Authorisation, through the following resolution:

  1. The Board of Directors shall be granted an authorisation to increase the share capital by a maximum of NOK 7,295,455. The subscription price and other subscription terms is determined by the Board of Directors.
  2. The capital increase may be paid in cash, by set-off or by contributions in assets other than money. The authorisation includes the right to incur special obligations on behalf of the company, cf Section 10-2 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act.
  3. The shareholders' pre-emptive rights pursuant to Section 10-4 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act may be waived by the Board of Directors, cf Section 10-5 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act
  4. The authorisation shall include decisions on merger, cf Section 13-5 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act.
  5. The authorisation is valid from registration with the Register of Business Enterprises until the Annual General Meeting in the spring of 2025, but not later than 30 June 2025, and includes the right to change the company's Articles of Association in connection with the share capital increase.

15. Approval of amendments to the Articles of Association

The Company has currently not included in its Articles of Association a possibility for the shareholders to submit votes electronically in a period prior to general meetings in accordance with the option included in the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 5-8 b. As a consequence of new procedures for voting for nominee registered shareholders and in order to generally facilitate electronic voting for the Company's shareholders prior to general meetings, the Board of Directors wishes to amend the Company's Articles of Association to open up for electronic voting in a period prior to general meetings.

The Board of Directors therefore proposes that the General Meeting passes a resolution to add the following paragraph as a new third paragraph to section 7 of the Articles of Association, and so that the current third paragraph is moved to be the fourth paragraph:
