interests of the company and the shareholders in general. Telenor is one of
Norway's leading companies and an international telecom provider, with a
substantial part of its value linked to activities outside of Norway in rapidly
changing markets. The Nomination Committee has considered the total competency
need of the Board of Directors from a sectoral, functional, and governance
perspective related to the company's position and strategy.
The Nomination Committee has mapped and considered skills benchmarks and
criteria for the composition of the Board of Directors. The Committee has
reviewed and assessed how the Board works and its competence and experience. In
this, the Committee has been supported by an external advisor. This includes
assessing relevant competencies, diversity in expertise and background as a
result of different work experience, education, gender, age, geographical
affiliation, and cultural background. Board members' personal qualifications
were also part of the process
The Nomination Committee considers that Telenor Board of Directors functions
well
