| 5 | Forslag Approve Remuneration Report Vote rationale: The board is responsible for attracting the right CEO and setting appropriate remuneration. A substantial proportion of annual remuneration should be provided as shares that are locked in for five to ten years, regardless of resignation or retirement. The board should provide transparency on total remuneration to avoid unacceptable outcomes. The board should ensure that all benefits have a clear business rationale. Pensionable income should constitute a minor part of total remuneration. Global Voting Guidelines Avlønning av administrerende direktør | Ledelsens anbefalning For | Stemme Against |
| 6 | Forslag Approve Discharge of Directors Vote rationale: Shareholders should have the right to seek changes to the board when it does not act in their best interest. We will consider whether the board has failed to act on material requests from shareholders, sought to circumvent shareholder proposals or implemented governance changes limiting shareholders’ rights without their approval. When voting on a proposal to discharge the board of responsibilities, we will consider whether any information raises reasonable doubt about the board’s actions. We will also take into considerations unsatisfactory financial and strategic performance, mismanaged risk-taking, unacceptable treatment of stakeholders or undesired environmental or social outcomes from company operations.
