The Board proposes that a dividend of NOK 55.00 per share is paid for the financial year 2022, and that the existing share buy-back program is replaced by a new program, authorizing the Board to acquire up to 5% of Yara's shares before the next Annual General Meeting.
The Nomination Committee proposes the election of new board members Therese Log Bergjord, Tina Lawton, and Harald Thorstein for a period of two years.
Member of the Nomination Committee Thorunn Kathrine Bakke have notified that she wishes to withdraw from the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee proposes the election of Lars Mattis Hanssen as a new member for a period of one year.

The notice must be received by the company no later than two business days prior to the General Meeting. The board may set a later deadline in the notice of the General Meeting.”
