Board of Directors

The objective of the Corporate Governance Code is for companies listed on Norwegian regulated markets to practice corporate governance that regulates the division of roles between shareholders, the board of directors, and executive management more comprehensively than is required by legislation.

Good corporate governance will strengthen confidence in companies and help to ensure the greatest possible value creation over time in the best interests of shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders.

The Company's corporate governance principles are based on, and comply with, the Norwegian Corporate Governance Code.

Corporate Governance Policy

The company distributes information impartially when communicating with shareholders and analysts. Presentations prepared for investors in connection with annual and quarterly reports are made available on the company’s website at defined times. Any events that may affect the company are reported immediately.

Reporting to the market and contact with shareholders, investors, and analysts outside general meetings are based on the following principles:

All price-sensitive information must be provided simultaneously to all market participants. This implies that statements to the stock exchange and press releases will be distributed through Oslo Børs, as well as published on Zalaris’ website.

Presentations used in meetings with individual investors must not be different from those previously presented on Zalaris’ website. Nor should individual investors be given verbal information that is not shared with the overall market.

Meetings with investors and analysts should, as far as possible, be avoided during the last month prior to the release of financial information. If such meetings are held, special care should be shown with respect to the information provided.

Price-sensitive developments that will have an extraordinary impact on profits should normally be disclosed when they occur, thus ensuring that the entire market receives the information simultaneously.

Communication with shareholders, investors and analysts is a key priority for Zalaris ASA. The aim is to provide sufficient information so that shareholders can be confident that the share price reflects the underlying value.
