6. General Meetings
Through the General Meeting the shareholders exercise the highest authority in Marine Farms.

General Meetings are convened by written notice to all shareholders with known addresses with a minimum of 14 days notice. All shareholders are entitled to submit items to the agenda, meet, speak and vote at the General Meetings.

Proposed resolutions and supporting information shall be distributed to shareholders no later than the date of the notice. In order to ensure that the General Meeting is an effective forum for the views of the shareholders and the Board of Directors, the Board shall see that the information distributed is sufficiently detailed and comprehensive as to allow the shareholders to form a view on all matters to be considered.

The Board of Directors shall take steps to ensure that as many shareholders as possible can exercise their rights by participating in General Meetings in Marine Farms, for instance by setting deadlines for shareholders to give notice of their intention to attend the meeting (if any) close to the date of the meeting as possible and by giving shareholders who are not able to attend the option to vote by proxy. The Board of Directors shall make arrangements for shareholders voting by proxy to give voting instructions on each matter to be considered at the meeting.

The General Meetings shall be organised in such a way as to facilitate dialogue between shareholders and the officers of the Company. Thus, the Board of Directors must ensure that the members of the Board and the auditor (and, if any, the nomination committee) are present at all General Meetings. Also, the Board of Directors shall make arrangements to ensure an independent Chairman for each General Meeting, for instance by arranging for the person who opens the General Meeting to put forward a specific proposal for a Chairman.

The Minutes of the General Meetings shall be made available on Marine Farms' web site.
