ANNOUNCEMENT.
Oslo, 29 October 2024: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement
published by Vow ASA (the "Company") on 27 September 2024, regarding the
contemplated fully underwritten rights issue in the Company, raising gross
proceeds of NOK 250,000,000 (the "Rights Issue").
The Company hereby calls for an extraordinary general meeting to be held on
Tuesday 19 November 2024 at 18:00 hours (CET) to inter alia resolve (i) the
Rights Issue, and (ii) an authorisation to the board of directors of the Company
to issue new shares in connection with the settlement of fees to the
underwriters of the Rights Issue.
The subscription price in the Rights Issue, and thus the final number of new
shares and the exact amount of the share capital increase, will be set based on
the theoretical share price exclusive of the subscription rights (TERP) based on
the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company's shares on Euronext
Oslo Børs during the last three trading days prior to the extraordinary general
meeting (with the date of the extraordinary general meeting being the last day),
less a discount of approximately 30%. The proposed final subscription price in
the Rights Issue and thereby also the proposed exact number of new shares to be
issued will thus be announced on newsweb.no shortly prior to the extraordinary
general meeting. The final subscription price and final number of new shares to
be issued, will be determined by the extraordinary general meeting. Votes cast
at the general meeting, and voting instructions provided to proxies in advance
of the general meeting, will thus apply for the finally proposed resolution.
Further, reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by the
Company on 11 September 2024, where it was announced that the chair of the board
of directors of the Company, Narve Reiten, recommended the nomination committee
to start the work to identify a new chair of the board. Following such
announcement, the nomination committee has held several meetings to discuss the
composition of the board of directors and identify potential candidates, with an
aim to ensure (i) that the recommendation reflects the views of the largest
shareholders, (ii) that the proposed board of directors has the necessary
expertise and experience to handle the Company's strategic and operational
challenges, and (iii) that the board of director's composition is balanced in
terms of gender.
On this background, the nomination committee proposes that the extraordinary
general meeting resolves to elect a new board of directors of the Company,
comprising the following members: Thomas Fredrick Borgen (chair), Egil Haugsdal
(board member), Elin Steinsland (board member), Maria Tallaksen (board member)
and Kristin Herder Kaggerud (board member), and that the new board of directors
accede their positions immediately following the extraordinary general meeting,
and is elected until the annual general meeting of the Company in 2026. The
nomination committee is also considering the possibility of proposing that an
additional member be elected to the Company's board of directors. This will in
case be announced on newsweb.no, at least one week prior to the extraordinary
general meeting is held.
The general meeting will be held electronically through Lumi AGM.
For more information, please see the attached notice of the extraordinary
general meeting. The nomination committee's recommendation will be available on
the Company's website, https://www.vowasa.com/.
