held at the company's head office outside Oslo, has approved a dividend of NOK

agenda were adopted. This includes approval of the financial statements and the
report from the Board of Directors for 2012, approval of salary remuneration to
the executive management and election of members to the Corporate Assembly and

2013. After cancellation and redemption, the company's share capital will be NOK
9,099,745,626 divided into 1,516,624,271 shares.
The AGM has authorised the Board of Directors to buy back up to 46,000,000
shares, corresponding to approximately three per cent of the company's share
capital. This authorisation is valid until the AGM in 2014.
