Proxies without voting instructions may trigger disclosure needs
Proxies without voting instructions may trigger disclosure requirements under Norwegian law
Proxies without voting instructions may trigger disclosure requirements under Norwegian law. Under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act § 4-3 second paragraph the possession of a proxy without voting instructions is considered equal to ownership of shares or rights to shares.
This means that a proxy is required to disclose the proxies if the number of shares to which they relate (together with any shares or rights to shares held by the proxy) reaches or exceeds the disclosure thresholds under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act § 4-3 first paragraph.
Norwegian Securities Trading Act compliance
If shares are held through a nominee, cf. the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act § 4-10, and the beneficial owner wishes to attend the general meeting, whether in person or by proxy, the beneficial owner must transfer the shares to a VPS account, in the name of the beneficial owner, prior to the date of the general meeting.
This information is subject to the disclosure requirements pursuant to section 5 -12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.
