Request for extraordinary general meeting
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Board of Directors of DNO International ASA has received a request from the
30% shareholder RAK Petroleum PCL for an extraordinary general meeting to elect
a fifth board member in DNO.
As reason for the request, RAK Petroleum has noted the following: "Dr. Zalmay
Khallilzad was elected to the Board of Directors of DNO at the general meeting
held on 17th June 2010. Unfortunately, Mr. Khalilizad had to step down. RAK
Petroleum therefore proposes that Mr. Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani be elected as the
fifth member of the Board of Directors of DNO."
According to Section 5-7 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act, a
minimum share ownership interest of 5% in the company is required to call for an
extraordinary general meeting. RAK Petroleum PCL holds at present 30% of the
shares in DNO. Mr. Mossavar-Rahmani is the Chairman of the Board and CEO of RAK
Petroleum PCL.
The board has treated the request in a board meeting this afternoon and decided
to call for an extraordinary general meeting in DNO International ASA on
Thursday 10 March at 13:00.
The Board will invite RAK Petroleum to give a presentation to the shareholders
of DNO at the extraordinary general meeting prior to the election.
A complete call for the extraordinary general meeting and the venue will be
published on Thursday 17 February.
