As for remuneration of the old and new Board Directors, the proposal put forward in the EGM-notice published in September is also the proposal put forward and supported by Strata. The remuneration proposal is the following:

At the Annual General Meeting ("AGM”) 2014 it was decided that remuneration to the Chairman of the Board would amount to 250,000 SEK while as the remuneration to the ordinary Directors would be 150,000 SEK each (fees paid on annual basis).

Newly elected Directors are proposed to be remunerated in accordance with the levels approved at the 2014 AGM, proportionally to the term of the assignment. This implies that for Directors elected at said AGM the remuneration to be paid out is the one determined at the AGM. Directors resigning shall be remunerated in accordance with the fee level approved by the AGM but adjusted for the reduced term of the assignment.

Says Torbjörn Ranta, current Managing Director of NMG: "I take the liberty, on behalf of, I believe, most of the Company’s shareholders, to thank the leaving Board Directors and Deputy Board Directors Rikard Ehnsiö, Björn Rohdin, Svein Breivik, Frank Pedersen and Erlend Dunér Henriksen for having lead the Company during an extremely difficult period, when the Company’s whole existence was at stake. Under the guidance of the old Board a new interested main owner has been found, a fully underwritten rights issue will take place in the next few weeks and a resumption of normal operations will thereafter be possible. This is all very good and promising for NMG.”
