Proposal for a decision

Item 6 – Resolution on approval of transfer to related parties of all shares in First Hotels International AS

As announced through a press release on 7 November 2024, the Company has received a proposal from shareholders to sell all shares in the Company's subsidiary First Hotels International AS to a consortium consisting of Seljeli Invest AS, Gate Group AB and Daimyo AS. The Company's Board member Johan Gate is the owner of Gate Group AB and the Company's Board member Torje Gabrielsen is a partner in Seljeli Invest AS. Due to the fact that Johan Gate and Torje Gabrielsen are indirectly included in the bid consortium, the Offer is treated as a related party transaction pursuant to Chapter 16 and Chapter 16 a of the Swedish Companies Act.

The Board of Directors of the Company has received an offer from a consortium of bidders for the sale of all shares in the Company's subsidiary First Hotels International AS to the bidders (the "Offer"). The offer entails that all shares in the Company's subsidiary First Hotels International AS, and indirectly its subsidiaries, will be transferred to the bid consortium at a value of NOK 30 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments and subject to due diligence.

The Board will prepare a report in accordance with Chapter 16 a sec. 7 of the Swedish Companies Act and obtain a fairness opinion from an external third party prior to the meeting. Johan Gate and Torje Gabrielsen have not and will not participate in the Board's handling of the Offer.

Shareholders propose that the General Meeting approves the completion of the related party transaction as set out above.

A valid resolution requires that the proposal is supported by shareholders holding at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the General Meeting, however, that the shares and votes held directly or indirectly by the bidders, Johan Gate and Torje Gabrielsen, shall not be taken into account.

Request for information

The Board of Directors and the CEO shall, if any shareholder so requests and the Board of Directors considers that it can be done without material harm to the Company, provide information on circumstances that may affect the assessment of an item on the agenda.

Provision of documents

Proxy forms and other documents pursuant to the Swedish Companies Act will be available at the Company's office at Adolf Fredriks Kyrkogata 13, SE-111 37 Stockholm, Sweden, and on the Company's website, www.firsthotelsab.com/sv-se/, no later than two weeks prior to the General Meeting. The documents will also be sent free of charge to shareholders who request it and who state their postal address. The documents will also be available at the meeting.
