Shareholders
Mowi may collect the name and address of shareholders holding more than 10 000 shares, as well as the number of shares held, to ensure a proper follow up of our investors and to share relevant information about the corporation. The processing includes enlisting the shareholders in an overview used by Mowi to maintain healthy investor relations. Information regarding shareholders holding less than 10 000 shares, will solely be included in an aggregated matter for the purpose of mapping out custodian banks holding shares for shareholders below the set threshold. Thus, the information will be anonymized. The legal basis for processing personal data about our shareholders is the legitimate interests pursued by Mowi according to GDPR article 6 no. 1 letter f), see also section 4-10 of the Norwegian PLC Act. Processing of personal data relating to Mowi’s shareholders will not exceed 5 years and otherwise be restricted to what is necessary to fulfill the initial purpose for which the personal data was collected.
In order to conduct a proper follow up of Mowi’s shareholders, holding more than 10 000 shares, Mowi has engaged NASDAQ OMX Corporate Solutions International Limited (“Nasdaq”) to provide share register analysis services. As a result of Nasdaq being registered in the UK, this will include transfers of personal data to a third country outside the EU/EEA. However, such transfers are governed by standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and relevant supporting documents ensuring an adequate level of security and clear distribution of responsibility. The EU Commission has also adopted an adequacy decision for the UK, meaning that personal data transferred to the UK benefits from an essentially equivalent level of protection to that guaranteed under EU law.
