The Board of directors’ proposal for decisions
Item 7 (Decision to appoint a new auditor)
There is a new Board of Directors of Nickel Mountain Group AB (publ) (“NMG”) since October 10, 2014, which reflects the fact that Strata Marine & Offshore AS is the sole dominating owner of NMG. The new Board of Directors has ever since it was appointed continuously reviewed the possibilities to increase share holder value, and in that context to optimize the cost structure of NMG. This is particularly important in view of NMG being a company without regular revenues. NMG has for various reasons since 2013 had two different audit firms in the group working with the yearly audit work. This has not benefited the aggregated audit costs. The new Board has therefore secured a favorable offer for conducting the audit of the financial year 2014 accounts. Therefore the Board proposes to an EGM to be held on December 17, 2014 to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers AB, CIN 556067-4276 (“PWC”), with responsible main auditor Johan Palmgren, as auditor of the parent company and of the group. The cost reduction that would be achieved for the audit of the 2014 accounts is deemed to be significant. The Board of Directors emphasizes, that there have been no controversies with the other two auditors/audit firms appointed at the AGMs of the group and subsidiaries in June 2014. These were Mr. Johan Kaijser of Mazars Set Audit Company (auditor of group and parent company) and KPMG (auditor of subsidiaries). The change of auditor is proposed solely on cost reduction grounds. The corresponding change will also be proposed on subsidiary level.
Item 8; (Decision regarding remuneration to auditor)
The Board proposes, in line with the decision taken on the June 4, 2014 AGM, that the new auditor be remunerated based on reasonable and approved regular invoicing.
Miscellaneous
Required documentation covering items 7 and, 8, above, as well as other information required according to the Swedish Companies Act will, at the latest two weeks before the EGM, be available in the office of the Company and at the Company’s website, www.nickelmountain.se , (http://www.ige.se/)and will be sent free of charge by mail to shareholders who so request and state their address.
The shareholders are reminded of their right to request information in accordance with Chapter 7 Section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act.
The number of shares outstanding in the Company at the time of this EGM-notice is 90,809,360
