As a Swedish public limited company listed on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, Lundin Petroleum is subject to the Swedish Companies Act (SFS 2005:551) and the Annual Accounts Act (SFS  1995:1554), as well as the Rule Book for Issuers of the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm (which rules can be found on the website www.nasdaqomx.com). Lundin Petroleum is also listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange since 24 March 2011 and is as a result subject to Canadian securities regulations as well. In addition, the Company abides by principles of corporate governance found in a number of internal and external documents. The Swedish Code of Corporate Governance The Swedish Code of Corporate Governance (Code of Governance) is based on the tradition of self-regulation and acts as a complement to the corporate governance rules contained in the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act and other regulations such as the Rule Book for Issuers and generally acceptable behaviour in the securities market. The Code of Governance can be found on the website www.bolagsstyrning.se. The Code of Governance is based on the “comply or explain principle”, which entails that a company may choose to apply another solution than the one provided by the Code of Governance if it finds an alternative solution to be more appropriate in a particular case. The company must however explain why it did not comply with the rule in question and describe the company’s preferred solution, as well as the reasons for it. Lundin Petroleum complied with all the rules of the Code of Governance in 2011, other than in one instance as mentioned below regarding the composition of the Nomination Committee.
