Extraordinary General Meetings (EGM’s) are held as and when required for the operations of the Company. 2010 AGM The 2010 AGM was held on 6 May 2010 at the Skandia movie theatre in Stockholm.

The minutes of the 2010 AGM are available in Swedish and in English on the Company’s website. Since the CEO does not speak fluent Swedish, his presentation during the 2010 AGM was delivered in English, and not in Swedish as required by the Code of Governance. However, Swedish subtitles were provided concurrently. EGM in respect of the spin-off of the Company’s UK business An EGM was held on 22 March 2010 at Näringslivets hus in Stockholm. The EGM was attended by 149 shareholders, personally or by proxy, representing 46.8 percent of the share capital. The Chairman of the Board and two other Board members, including the CEO, as well as the Company’s auditors, were present. However, four out of seven Board members were unable to attend due to previous commitments, which thus led to a deviation from the Code of Governance. Prior to the EGM, the Board had considered the matter and had unanimously approved the transaction. The EGM resolved to approve the sale of Lundin North Sea B.V. to a newly formed UK company called EnQuest plc (EnQuest) in exchange for such number of shares of EnQuest as would be equal to 55 percent of the total outstanding shares of EnQuest, and resolved on a dividend to the effect that all of Lundin Petroleum’s shares in EnQuest, corresponding to approximately 55 percent of the total number of shares in EnQuest, were distributed to the shareholders of Lundin Petroleum, including authorisation to the Board to decide upon the record date for the right to receive shares in EnQuest. The minutes of the EGM are available in Swedish and in English on the Company’s website. Since the CEO does not speak fluent Swedish, his presentation during the EGM was delivered in English, and not in Swedish as required by the Code of Governance.

The EGM was attended by 167 shareholders, personally or by proxy, representing 44.4 percent of the share capital. Two Board members, including the CEO, were present.
