Approval of the annual report and accounts for Equinor ASA and the Equinor group for 2021, including the board of directors’ proposal for distribution of fourth quarter 2021 dividend
The chair of the meeting informed the general meeting that the annual report and accounts and the auditor’s report have been made available on the company’s website. Recitation was therefore not necessary.

The chair of the meeting read the following statement on behalf of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries:

In the ownership dialogue the state, as an owner, emphasises that the company’s capital structure supports efficient goal achievement. The state’s goal as an owner of Equinor ASA is to achieve the highest possible return over time, cf. White Paper nr. 8 (2019-2020) “the state’s direct ownership of companies – sustainable value creation” (the ownership report). The ministry refers to the high natural gas prices Equinor has realised recently, contributing to the company’s very strong capitalisation. We also refer to the company’s own net debt to capital employed ambition. As an owner, the state finds it important that this be emphasised in the decisions made by Equinor’s board of directors going forward concerning dividend and capitalisation. The board is responsible for the company’s capital structure, but decisions at the annual general meeting about dividends and capital changes will affect the capital structure.

In accordance with the proposal from the board, the general meeting adopted the following resolution:

“The annual accounts and the annual report for 2021 for Equinor ASA and the Equinor group are approved. A fourth quarter 2021 dividend of USD 0.20 per share and an extraordinary dividend of USD 0.20 per share are approved to be distributed.”

 

7. Authorisation to distribute dividend based on approved annual accounts for 2021
In accordance with the proposal from the board, the general meeting adopted the following resolution:

“The general meeting of Equinor ASA hereby authorises the board of directors to resolve the payments of dividend based on the company’s approved annual accounts for 2021, cf. the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 8-2, second paragraph.

The board of directors shall, when using the authorisation, make its decision in accordance with the company’s approved dividend policy. The board of directors shall before each decision to approve the payment of dividends consider if the company, after the payment of dividends, will have sufficient equity and liquidity.

The authorisation shall be valid until the next annual general meeting, but no later than 30 June 2023.”

 

8. Reduction in capital through the cancellation of own shares and the redemption of shares belonging to the Norwegian government
The general meeting agreed on the following resolution:

“As part of the implementation of the company`s share buy-back programme, the company`s share capital will be reduced by NOK 205,543,870 from NOK 8,144,219,267.50 to NOK 7,938,675,397.50. Of the total capital reduction amount

(i) NOK 67,829,477.50 will be used to annul 27,131,791 own shares, and
(ii) NOK 137,714,392.50 will be used to redeem and annul 55,085,757 shares owned by the Norwegian government by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries.

In addition to the capital reduction amount in (ii), the Norwegian government by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries shall receive NOK 13,574,427,251.70, with a deduction for fourth quarter 2021 dividend of USD 0,40 per share and corresponding interest compensation. The part of the amount paid to the government that exceeds the nominal value of the shares, shall be covered by retained earnings.

With effect from the time the capital reduction has been registered the Article 3 of the company’s Articles of Association read as follows:

“The share capital of the company is NOK 7,938,675,397.50 divided into 3,175,470,159 shares of NOK 2.50 each.””

 

9.

Proposal to amend Article 1 of the Articles of Association
In accordance with the proposal from the board, the general meeting adopted the following resolution:

“The Articles of Association is amended and Article 1 will read as follows:

“The company’s name is Equinor ASA. The company is a public limited company.

The objective of Equinor ASA is to develop, produce and market various forms of energy and derived products and services, as well as other business. The activities may also be carried out through participation in or cooperation with other companies.””

 

10.

Energy Transition Plan
Jon Erik Reinhardsen, chair of the board of directors, presented the company’s energy transition plan.

The chair of the meeting read the following statement from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries:

The state, as an owner, is positive to the company presenting an energy transition plan. This will give shareholders and the market a better-informed position from which to assess, among other things, risks, opportunities, capital allocation, positioning and pace in the transition to a low-carbon energy company towards 2050. The state, among other things, bases its voting on the company’s affirmation that the long-term value creation supports the goals of the Paris agreement and the 1.5 degree trajectory.

The plan will be presented to the shareholders for advisory vote at the annual general meeting. In the state’s view this means that it is the company board and the administration that are responsible for the company’s strategy, including for this plan, and for initiating the necessary measures, including investments and priorities, to follow this up and to achieve the company’s climate targets. The company should, in the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries’ view, be as transparent as possible about the status of the work during the plan period.  

The state, as an owner, believes that the plan should be updated more frequently than every three years in the event of significant changes of assumptions, framework conditions, market development, or good industry practice. The state, as an owner, expects the company to closely monitor the development.  

Equinor’s plan for the transition to a low-carbon energy company should contribute to high, long-term value creation for the owners. Equinor’s transition may also help develop new green industries, reduce GHG emissions and develop long-term value-generating jobs in Norway. 

In accordance with the proposal from the board, the general meeting adopted the following resolution:

“The general meeting endorses the company's energy transition plan.”

21.

The board of directors’ remuneration report for salary and other remuneration for leading personnel
Jon Erik Reinhardsen, chair of the board of directors, presented the board’s report for salary and other remuneration for leading personnel.

The chair of the meeting read the following statement from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries:

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries (MTIF) refers to the State’s Guidelines for the Remuneration of Senior Executives in Companies with State Ownership stipulated on 20 April 2021. The MTIF wants to emphasise the state’s expectations in the executive remuneration area, including paying due regard to the principle of moderation. The state finds it important that the remuneration of senior executives is competitive, enabling the company to succeed in recruiting and retaining good executives. At the same time the remuneration shall not be market-leading compared with similar companies, and shall be set with due regard to the principle of moderation. This, among other things, means that the remuneration shall not be higher than necessary to attract and retain the desired expertise. It is neither in the interest of the company, nor the owners, if the company pays more remuneration, including bonus, than necessary. When evaluating moderation, the ratio between the remuneration of executive personnel and other employees in the company may be relevant. The state finds it important that this ratio does not increase without a good justification. Increased difference in the remuneration between executive personnel and other employees in the company may be ill-judged, among other things because it may be harmful to the company’s reputation by contributing to unreasonable disparities in the company and society at large. The state finds it important than the board pays due regard to the principle of moderation in determining the total remuneration.  

The state, as an owner, emphasises transparency associated with executive remuneration. Transparency as regards the formulation, level and development of executive remuneration, including that that the programmes are unambiguous, is important in order to enable owners and other stakeholders to evaluate the executive remuneration. The state, as an owner, will continue the dialogue with Equinor about how the board of directors’ executive remuneration policy can be better aligned with the state’s expectations in the executive remuneration area, and expects the board of directors to present an updated policy for the 2023 annual general meeting.

In accordance with the proposal from the board, the general meeting adopted the following resolution:

“The general meeting endorses the board of directors’ remuneration report for leading personnel.”

 

22.

Approval of remuneration for the company’s external auditor for 2021
The general meeting adopted the following resolution:

“Remuneration to the auditor for 2021 of NOK 55,981,079 for Equinor ASA is approved.”
