Supporting statement
Shareholders Even Bakke, Bente Marie Bakke, Ketil Lund, Guttorm Grundt and Gro Nylander have proposed
the following resolution:
“1. Equinor should declare the Norwegian sector of the Barents Sea a Voluntary Exclusion Zone; no further
exploration nor test drilling will be conducted in this region by Equinor and its partners.
2. In the long term, Equinor will focus on its very profitable domestic business in the Norwegian sector
(excluding the Barents Sea) and greatly reduce their marginally profitable and lossmaking international
business in the US, Brazil and developing countries (we first proposed this 3 years ago).
3. Equinor will greatly accelerate its transition into renewable energy by utilizing its enormous income from
its oil and gas production in the Norwegian sector, as is called for with the current energy and political
crisis.”
