  6. Capital reduction by the cancellation of own shares.
    Olav Thon Eiendomsselskap ASA owns 2,144,263 own shares, corresponding to 2.07% of the company's share capital. The company has no specific plans for the use of these shares, and it is the board's assessment that the cancellation of these shares will best benefit the shareholders. The board therefore proposes, on the basis of Section 12-1 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act, to cancel these shares through a reduction of the company's share capital, including amending Section 4 of the articles of association with regard to the number of issued shares in the company. The board confirms that the company has sufficient equity to implement such a capital reduction.
    Proposed resolution:
    The general meeting approves the board's proposal that the company's share capital be reduced from NOK 103,623,171 by NOK 2,144,263 to NOK 101,478,908 by cancelling 2,144,263 own shares. The reduction amount is allocated in its entirety to the fund.
    Section 4 of the articles of association is amended from: "The company's share capital is NOK 103,623,171 divided into 103,623,171
    shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 1.", to: "The company's share capital is NOK 101,478,908 divided into 101,478,908 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 1. »

7. Authorization to the Board of Directors. a. to acquire the Company's own shares
