Aker Solutions

Item 14, 15 and 16:
Folketrygdfondet is, as a matter of principle, opposed to authorisations for share buybacks or share issuances that may be used in situations as referred to in Section 6‑17 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.

We believe that such authorisations should not be used as takeover defence measures without prior approval from the General Meeting.

In line with good corporate governance, the company should facilitate genuine shareholder influence, also in takeover situations.
