Standard reporting. On voluntary and standard mandatory events, CBL informs clients, on an "as and if received” basis, of unscheduled securities events occurring on account holdings.

No specific deviations from standard reporting provided by CBL apply to the Norwegian market.

Instruction to CBL
Clients may instruct CBL to carry out options foreseen in the terms and conditions of the underlying type of security. These options include, but are not limited to, put options, conversions, exercises of warrants, exchanges, detachment of warrants etc.
In addition, CBL informs clients on an "as and if received" basis of unscheduled securities events occurring on account holdings, such as rights offers, reinvestment options, exchange offers, purchase offers, mergers etc.

Clients are requested to instruct within the deadlines and/or procedures specific to each type of event. In the absence of instructions from its client, CBL will apply a “default option”, which may differ for each type of event.

Proxy voting procedures

Proxy voting services are available in CBL for this market.

Clients that want to vote at general meetings (physically or by proxy) must instruct CBL to register their shares in the name of the beneficial owner prior to the record date (if introduced by the company) of the general meeting, and as defined by the respective company. The re-registered shares must be transferred to a separate VPS account in the name of the beneficial owner. In the case of representation a Power of Attorney is recommended.
