The following matters are on the agenda:

  1. Opening of the extraordinary general meeting and registration of attending shareholders and proxies
  2. Election of chairman of the meeting and person to co-sign the minutes
  3. Approval of the notice and the agenda
  4. Reduction of the share capital
    The board of directors of the Company proposes that the general meeting adopts a share capital reduction by passing the following resolution:

"(a) The share capital is reduced from NOK 53 533 395 with NOK 26 766 697.50 to NOK 26

  1. 766 697.50.

  2. The share capital reduction is done by a reduction of the nominal value of the shares from NOK 1 to NOK 0.5 per share.
  3. The reduction amount of NOK 26 766 697.50 shall be used for coverage of loss that cannot be covered otherwise, cf. the Companies Act Section 12-1 first paragraph no. 1. The reduction shall be effective without a creditor notice upon the registration of a notice to the Business Register, cf. the Companies Act Section 12-5 first paragraph.

In connection with the capital reduction, the articles of association § 4 is amended from:

"Selskapets aksjekapital er NOK 53 533 395 fordelt på 53 533 395 aksjer, hver pålydende NOK 1."

to

«Selskapets aksjekapital er NOK 26 766 697.50 fordelt på 53 533 395 aksjer, hver pålydende NOK 0.5».

English translation: "The Company's share capital is NOK 26 766 697.50 divided on 53 533 395 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.5."

The calculation of the Company's loss is based on the balance sheet of the Company's most recently approved annual financial statements, the financial statements for 2022. The financial statement with the auditor's report is available at the company's office for inspection.

The reason for the proposal is that the Company, in the financial statements for 2022, has an uncovered loss that cannot be covered in any other way than by reducing the share capital. Furthermore, it is necessary to reduce the share capital to satisfy equity requirements for conversion of the Company to a public limited liability company, cf. the proposal in item 5 below.

Since the capital reduction is carried out without creditor notice, a distribution of dividends cannot be resolved by the Company until three years have passed from the registration in the Business Register, unless the share capital subsequently has been increased by an amount at least equal to the reduction.

No events of significant importance to the company have occurred after the last balance sheet date.

5. Conversion into a public limited liability company (ASA)

As previously announced to the market, the Company contemplates to move the shares of the Company from Euronext Growth to the main list of Oslo Børs. In this process the Company will need to be converted from a private limited liability company (AS) to a public limited liability company (ASA).

The most significant legal effects of a transformation as described include inter alia the following: -The Company will fall under the scope of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act

  • The corporate identity of the Company remains unchanged, with the exception that the company designation "AS" must be changed to "ASA" or public limited company.

-The required share capital in a public limited company must be at least NOK 1 000 000.

  • The company shall have a board of at least three directors and with the necessary gender representation
  • It will be required for the company to be registered with a central securities depository
  • The shares of a public limited company are freely transferable
  • The Company may offer its shares to the public
  • Stricter requirements will apply with respect to contributions in kind, transactions with related parties, as well as to mergers and demergers; and
  • The Company must comply with the accounting rules for large enterprises, cf. section 1-5 of the Norwegian Accounting Act.

A Statement from an independent auditor in connection with the conversion is attached to these minutes as Appendix 1.

The Company satisfies the minimum required share capital and already has a general manager. The Company's share are freely transferable, and are registered in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS). The requirement of gender representation on the Board will be fulfilled as a consequence of the proposal in agenda item 5 below, regarding changes to the Board. The Board cannot see that a conversion from AS to ASA will have any negative economic consequences for the share holders, and proposes that the extraordinary general meeting passes the following resolution:

The company shall be converted into a public limited company (ASA). Section 1 of the company's Articls of Association is amended to have the following wording:

"§ 1 Selskapets foretaksnavn er Capsol Technologies ASA. Selskapet er et allmennaksjeselskap."

English translation:

"§ 1 The company's name is Capsol Technologies ASA. The company is a public limited liability company."

  1. Changes to the Board of Directors
    To satisfy the legal requirements to a board of a public limited liability company, as well as the rules related inter alia to independency that will apply for listed companies, the Board proposes that the extraordinary general meeting makes certain changes in the Board composition.
    On this basis, the Board proposes to the extraordinary general meeting the following resolution:
    Wendy Lam and Ellen Merete Hanetho are elected as new board members. The election of Wendy Lam shall be effective from 30 September 2023.
    Additionally, Claes Oskar Nygren shall resign from the Board, and the Board shall hereafter consist of the following members:
    • Endre Ording Sund (chairman)
    • Einar Christen Lange (director)
    • John Arne Ulvan (director)
    • Monika Inde Zsak (director)
    • Wayne Gordon Thomson (director)
    • Wendy Lam (director) (effective as of 30 September 2023)
    • Ellen Merete Hanetho (director)
  2. Share option program
    The Board proposes that the EGM adopts that Wendy Lam and Ellen Merete Hanetho are included in the Company's existing share option program, on the following key terms:
    Wendy Lam; 112 500 options, strike price equal to the closing price of the day of the EGM. The options shall have a vesting period of three years, with 1/3 vesting each year.
    Ellen Merete Hanetho: 112 500 options, strike price equal to the closing price of the day of the EGM. The options shall have a vesting period of three years, with 1/3 vesting each year.

8. Amendments to the Company's Articles of Association

The Board proposes to amend the Company's Articles of Association to ensure that there is always a minimum of three Board members. It is proposed that the Articles of Association § 6 hereafter reads as follows:

"§ 6 Styret i selskapet skal bestå av 3 til 9 medlemmer. Selskapet tegnes av to styremedlemmer i fellesskap."

English translation:

"§ 6 The company's Board of Directors shall consist of 3 to 9 members. The signatory rights of the company lie with two board members jointly."

The Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act has been amended with effect from 1 July 2023 by inclusion of a provision in § 5-2 (1) on compulsory record date for shareholders' right to attend and vote at general meetings. As from the same date, amendments to the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act § 5-3 was implemented, entailing that the registration deadline for participation at general meetings cannot be set earlier than two business days prior to the meeting. In order to comply with these regulations, the Board proposes a new § 7 to the Articles of Association, which shall read as follows:

3

DocuSign Envelope ID: 4BA57E92-600C-4538-9965-840B1E12E21A

"§ 7 Generalforsamlingen innkalles ved skriftlig henvendelse til alle aksjonærer med kjent adresse. Innkalling skal være sendt senest 14 dager før møtet skal holdes.

Aksjonærer eller fullmektiger for disse som ønsker å møte på generalforsamlingen må melde dette til selskapet innen to virkedager før generalforsamlingen.

Styret kan bestemme at aksjonærene skal kunne avgi sin stemme skriftlig, herunder ved bruk av elektronisk kommunikasjon, i en periode før generalforsamlingen. For slik stemmegivning skal det benyttes en betryggende metode for å autentisere avsenderen.

Når dokumenter som gjelder saker som skal behandles på generalforsamlingen, er gjort tilgjengelige for aksjonærene på selskapets internettsider, gjelder ikke lovens krav om at dokumentene skal sendes til aksjonærene. Dette gjelder også dokumenter som etter lov skal inntas i eller vedlegges innkallingen til generalforsamlingen. En aksjonær kan likevel kreve å få tilsendt dokumenter som gjelder saker som skal behandles på generalforsamlingen. "

English translation:

"§ 7 The general meeting is convened by written notice to all shareholders with a known address. The notice shall be sent no later than 14 days before the date of the meeting.

Shareholders or their representatives wishing to attend a general meeting must inform the company of this no later than two business days prior to the general meeting.

The Board of Directors may determine that the shareholders shall be able to cast their votes in writing, including by electronic means, during a period preceding the general meeting. Where such a form of voting is use3d, a satisfactory method shall be employed to authenticate the identity of the sender.

When documents relating to matters to be discussed at the general meeting have been made available to the shareholders on the company's website, the legal requirement to send the documents to the shareholders shall not apply. This also applies to documents that pursuant to law are required to be included in, or attached to, the notice to the general meeting. A shareholder may nonetheless require to be forwarded documents relating to matters to be discussed at the general meeting."

It is currently proposed that the notice shall be sent no later than 14 days before the date of the general meeting. It is proposed that the general meeting shall resolve that this shall be amended to 21 days, if and when the shares are listed on the main list of Oslo børs.

Furthermore, the following new § 8 is proposed to the Articles of Association:

"§ 8 Følgende saker skal behandles og avgjøres i den ordinære generalforsamlingen:

  • Godkjennelse av årsregnskap og årsberetning, herunder utdeling av utbytte.
  • Valg av medlemmer til styret og fastsettelse av godtgjørelse til medlemmer av styret.
  • Godkjennelse av revisors honorar.
  • Andre saker som etter lov eller vedtektene hører under generalforsamlingen.» English translation:
    "§ 8 The following matters shall be considered and decided by the annual general meeting:
  • Approval of the annual accounts and the annual report, including distribution of dividends.
  • Election of members of the Board of Directors and determination of their remuneration.
  • Approval of the auditor's fee.
  • Other issues which, pursuant to law or the Articles of Association, are to be decided by the general meeting."
