Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA will hold an extraordinary general meeting on 21
December 2023 at 10:00 CET.
Mr. Sondre Gravir has decided to resign from the Board of Directors with
immediate effect to focus on other commitments.
The Nomination Committee has proposed that Mr. Stephen Kavanagh, a seasoned
airline professional with over 35 years of industry experience, including as the
CEO of Aer Lingus, is elected as new shareholder elected and independent member
to the Board of Directors.
Mr. Stephen Kavanagh is a highly experienced commercial leader from the aviation
industry with a proven track record and strong management, negotiation and
communication skills, key to supporting the transformation of Aer Lingus in a
period of increased competition. He has held several management positions at Aer
Lingus, most recently as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) from February 2015 to
2019, and he still serves on the Board as a Non-Executive Director for Aer
Lingus.
Previously he held positions at Aer Lingus as Corporate Planning Director, Chief
Commercial Officer, and Chief Strategy Officer. He currently serves as a
Non-Executive Director on the Board of Directors of Oman Air, Oman Airports
Management Company, aircraft lessor CDB Aviation and as advisory board member at
AAP Aviation. He holds a Master of Business Studies and Bachelor of Commerce
from University College Dublin.
"On behalf of the whole board, I would like to express our appreciation to Mr.
Sondre Gravir for his valuable contribution during a key period for the company.
Mr. Gravir has been instrumental as Norwegian has advanced its market position
after the 2021 restructuring. I have strong faith that the experience and
aviation industry know-how of Mr. Kavanagh can be a strong contribution to both
the Board and to Norwegian as a whole," says Svein Harald Øygard, Chair of the
Board of Norwegian.
The agenda also includes authorisation to the Board of Directors to decide on
dividend for 2022 of up to NOK 0.25 per share. The authorisation is subject to
approval from holders of the company's debt instruments. If approval is not
obtained by the annual general meeting in 2024, the Board of Directors proposes
to set up a dividend fund to set aside the amounts that otherwise would have
been distributed. Decisions related to dividends for the 2023 financial year
will be made at the 2024 annual general meeting, based on a defined dividend
policy. The dividend fund will have a broad investment mandate with a mid-term
investment horizon, at most until the full repayment of the relevant debt
instruments in September of 2026.
The extraordinary general meeting will be held digitally through Lumi. It will
not be possible to attend in person. For digital participation, please use the

are available on VPS Investor Services, or in the form attached to the notice to
