Amendments to the articles of association adopted at the extraordinary annual meeting

TONO's extraordinary annual meeting has today approved the board's agreed proposal for amendments to the statutes.

 / 27/09/2021 /

On Monday, September 27, TONO's extraordinary annual meeting was held as a hybrid meeting with physical participation at Sentralen in Oslo and digital participation from home for those who wished. The meeting was arranged to discuss matters that were postponed from TONO's ordinary annual meeting on June 8, and which had to be canceled due to technical problems.

Reduced majority requirement

At the meeting, a proposal for amendments to sections 27 and 43 of TONO's statutes was adopted. The proposal was presented by a unified board, and replaced the proposals for amendments to the statutes that were presented at the annual general meeting, June 8.

In paragraph 27 Amendments to the Articles of Association The majority requirement has been reduced from seven-tenths of the votes cast at TONO's annual meeting to two-thirds.

In paragraph 43 Majority requirement The majority requirement has been reduced from three-quarters to two-thirds. This change means that a qualified majority will still be required to make valid decisions in matters concerning settlements or cultural funds, but that the threshold is lowered.

Election of representatives

As part of the annual meeting, elections were also held for TONO's board and other committees. Four board members and four alternate members were elected for two years to TONO's board, a chairman and deputy chairman were elected for one year, the scholarship committee (four members with four personal alternates for two years), the control committee (five members with five personal alternates for two years) and the election committee (four members with four personal alternates for two years).

The nomination committee's recommendation was unanimously adopted, and can be seen below.
