Clarification to the invitation
Please refer to item # 7 in the invitation to the extraordinary general meeting in Norwegian Property, plus the enclosed memorandum from the board. The board would like to give the following clarification regarding the question of compensation to the board:
Due to lack of clear instructions on the settlement of compensation to the board, it was the board's intention to initiate certain predictability in this respect, including board members possibility to do other paid duties for the company.
The chairman of the board regrets if the wording in this memorandum could be perceived as if the board determines its own compensation. The idea was to express that the board has decided to suggest the compensation as mentioned to the general meeting. It is up to the shareholders to decide in the general meeting if the board should receive compensation, and the size of the compensation.
Sincerely,
Norwegian Property ASA
Knut Brundtland
Chairman of the board
