The uprising in NTS continues – demands a rematch for the board seats

The case is being updated.

It confirms NTS in a stock exchange announcement Saturday afternoon.

The message does not state who demands this, or what the reasons are.

The new demand comes the day after what will be a “highly dramatic” general meeting of the company on Friday, writes E24.

A group of shareholder rebels tried to throw store owner Helge Gåsø and his son Anders off the board. By a narrow margin, however, the proposal was voted down because one of the rebels, Hans Martin Storø, changed sides. He was then elected as a new board member by the general meeting.

The rebels have reacted strongly to the way this decision was beaten, and consider it “invalid”, the newspaper writes.

The rebels have also announced a bid of NOK 13.2 billion for NTS, and the stock market has speculated that the group wants to sell off the group’s stake of 68 percent in another listed salmon farmer, NRS.

The NRS share rose sharply in the days before the general meeting, but the price plummeted when it became known that Gåsø retained its seat on the board.

The motive for throwing the Gåsø family and sitting chairman Odd Reidar Øie out of the board has, according to the group, been to “improve corporate governance” in NTS.
