GN aims to improve the dialogue with the company’s shareholders in order to ensure that you as shareholder in the company are able to exercise all your rights. Even though GN's shares are bearer shares GN therefore recommend that our shareholders have their GN shares registered in the company’s register of shareholders, controlled by VP Investor Services.

Why should I register my shares by name?
To ensure that shareholders can easily exercise their rights if their shares, GN recommends that shareholders register their shares by name. This applies for example to the right to attend and vote at the general meeting.

Via the InvestorPortal a registered shareholder also have online access to:

• view the size of your own portfolio of registered GN shares
• sign up for the general meeting and/or
• vote in advance for general meetings.

How do I get shares registered by name?
To get shares registered by name, the shareholder must contact the bank/custody bank which holds the shares in a custody account and request that the bank registers the shares in the name of the holder.

What do I do as an international shareholder?
International shareholders are often registered jointly in a nominee custody account held in the name of an international custody banker.

However, in order to exercise their voting rights easily, international shareholders should have their name registered separately in GN’s register of shareholders before the general meeting is convened. To obtain a separate name registration the international shareholder must contact the custody banker used.

Following the registration of name, the shareholder will be able to exercise the rights as shareholder in GN.
