Corporate governance in Aker BP

Aker BP’s objective is to maximise value creation over time in a safe and prudent manner. To accomplish this, it is essential to have an effective governance framework that clearly delineates responsibilities and roles between the shareholders, the board of directors, and the corporate management.

General meeting

The general meeting is the highest authority of the company. Aker BP’s articles of association and the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act stipulate the role and mandate of the general meeting which we follow.

The annual general meeting (AGM) is normally held in April each year. Notice with agenda for the AGM is distributed to shareholders registered with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS), no less than two weeks before the event. Aker BP encourages its shareholders to use the right to submit proposals and vote, either in person or by proxy. Minutes are published on our website.

The board may at any time call an extraordinary general meeting (EGM). If an auditor or shareholder representing at least five per cent of the share capital requests an EGM to discuss a particular matter, the board of Aker BP will ensure that the meeting is held within a month of the request being submitted.

Relevant documentation regarding past and future general meetings in Aker BP can be found on https://akerbp.com/general-meeting/.

Board of directors

The board is responsible for decision-making on, and supervision of, the company’s business operations and management, including strategies and targets related to sustainable development.

The objectives of the board’s work are to create value for the company’s shareholders in both the short and long term and to ensure that Aker BP fulfils its obligations.

An important task for the board is to appoint the CEO and while the CEO is responsible for the day-to-day management of the company’s business activities, carried out by the executive management team (EMT), the board acknowledges its responsibility for the overall management of the company. The board is responsible for:

  • Reviewing strategic plans and supervising these through regular reporting and feedback
  • Reviewing significant risks to Aker BP’s activities and overseeing the establishment of appropriate systems to monitor and manage such risks
  • Ensuring that shareholders have access to timely and correct information about financial circumstances and important business-related events in accordance with relevant legislation

Remuneration in Aker BP

Remuneration in Aker BP consists of a base salary, a pension contribution, an annual bonus based on company performance, and a long-term share-based incentive plan (LTIP). Members of executive management team (EMT) are covered under the same budget, guidelines, and limitations as other onshore personnel in the company.

Fixed pay

The base salary levels are determined considering the nature of the individual role, individual considerations, the market positioning, and remuneration conditions at Aker BP, and is reviewed annually. Pension is based on a defined contribution plan and is capped at 12x the National Insurance Scheme basic amount.

Bonus system

The bonus is determined by the board based on an assessment of the company’s performance on a predefined set of KPIs and company priorities. Maximum bonus potential for the EMT corresponds to 60 percent of base salary. For other employees, the maximum bonus varies from 10 to 30 percent depending on position level.

Long-term incentive programme (LTIP)

Aker BP’s long-term incentive programme (LTIP) is designed to incentivise the EMT to deliver on the company’s long-term business objectives and maximise alignment with shareholder value creation.

The LTIP is a share-based scheme in which grants are awarded annually, vested over a three-year period, and subject to a one-year lockup. Each grant represents one underlying share, and the number of grants awarded corresponds to 20 percent of base salary divided by the Aker BP share price at the time of the award.

The final number of shares awarded at the end of the vesting period will be adjusted by up to +/- 100 percent based on an assessment of relative shareholder return measured against a benchmark consisting of an equal-weighted basket of the Oslo Energy Index, Stoxx 600 Europe Oil & Gas index and the S&P Commodity Producers Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Index, according to the table below. The number of shares will also be adjusted for dividends paid during the vesting period.
