Yara AGM and new buy-back program
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Oslo (2013-04-18): Yara International ASA will hold its Annual General Meeting
on Monday 13 May at 18:00 CEST at Bygdøy allé 2, Oslo. The Nomination Committee
proposes Geir Isaksen as a new Board member, and the Board asks the General
Meeting to authorize a new share buy-back program.
The Nomination Committee proposes the election of Geir Isaksen as a new Board
member. Isaksen is a Norwegian citizen and CEO of NSB (Norwegian State Railways)
since 2011, prior to which he was CEO of Cermaq ASA.
The Board proposes that the existing buy-back program is replaced by a new
program, authorizing the Board to acquire up to 5% of Yara's shares before the
next Annual General Meeting. Shares may be purchased within a price range of NOK
10 to NOK 1,000. The shares may either be used for cancellation or as payment in
commercial transactions. The company has entered into a new agreement with the
Norwegian State to redeem shares on a pro-rata basis so that the State's
ownership is unchanged in the event of a cancellation of the shares bought back.
The complete notice of the Annual General Meeting will be distributed to Yara's
registered shareholders and is also available on Yara's website
