The bookbuilding period in the Private Placement will commence today, 30 October 2024 at 16:30 CET and close on 31 October 2024 at 08:00 CET. The Managers and the Company may, however, at their sole discretion extend or shorten the bookbuilding period, or cancel the Private Placement in its entirety, at any time and for any reason and on short or without notice. If the bookbuilding period is extended or shortened, the other dates referred to herein might be changed accordingly.

The Offer Shares will be allocated in two tranches as follows: (i) one tranche with up to 55,541,400 Offer Shares ("Tranche 1"), to be issued pursuant to the board authorization granted by the annual general meeting of the Company held on 16 April 2024 (the "Board Authorization") and limited to 20% of the outstanding shares in the Company that can be listed without issuance of a listing prospectus; and (ii) a second tranche with a number of Offer Shares which results in a total transaction (i.e. both tranches) equal to the final offer size ("Tranche 2"). The issuance of Offer Shares in Tranche 2 will be subject to approval by an extraordinary general meeting of the Company expected to be held on or about 22 November 2024 (the "EGM"). The Pre-committing Investors will receive all or a substantial proportion of their allocation in Tranche 2 which will be conditional upon approval by the EGM.

The Private Placement is directed towards investors subject to applicable exemptions from relevant registration, filing and prospectus requirements, (i) outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “U.S. Securities Act”) and (ii) in the United States to “qualified institutional buyers” (QIBs) as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act as well as to major U.S. institutional investors under SEC Rule 15a-6 to the United States Exchange Act of 1934, pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act. Applicable selling restrictions will apply. The minimum application amount has been set to the NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000. However, the Board may, at its sole discretion, allocate Offer Shares to applicants for an amount below EUR 100,000 to the extent applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirement pursuant to applicable regulations, including Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 on prospectuses for securities as well as the UK European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, are available.

Allocation of Offer Shares will be made after the expiry of the bookbuilding period, at the sole discretion of the Board, in consultation with the Managers and based on allocation criteria included in the transaction documentation.

Offer Shares allocated in Tranche 1 are expected to be settled on or around 4 November 2024 through a delivery versus payment (DVP) transaction on a regular T+2 basis by delivery of new shares issued pursuant to the Board Authorization. Offer Shares allocated in Tranche 1 will be tradable after share capital registration with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises, expected shortly after allocation, on or about 1 November 2024 (T+1). The Offer Shares in Tranche 1 are expected to be pre-paid by the Managers pursuant to a pre-payment agreement (the "Pre-Payment Agreement") expected to be entered into between the Company and the Managers, in order to facilitate prompt registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the issue of the Offer Shares in Tranche 1 with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and DVP settlement.

Offer Shares allocated in Tranche 2 are expected to be settled on or around 27 November 2024, subject to due payment having been received and the conditions for completion of Tranche 2 having been met, including Tranche 2 having been approved by the EGM.

Completion of the Private Placement is subject to (i) the Board of the Company resolving to consummate the Private Placement and allocate the Offer Shares, and the other corporate resolutions of the Company required to implement the Private Placement, including issue of the Offer Shares, being validly made (i.e. completion of Tranche 1 is subject to a resolution by the Board to issue the Offer Shares in Tranche 1 pursuant to the Board Authorization, and completion of Tranche 2 is subject to a resolution by the EGM to issue the Offer Shares in Tranche 2), (ii) the Pre-Payment Agreement  being entered into and remaining in full force and effect; and (iii) the share capital increases pertaining to the issuance of the allocated Offer Shares being validly registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and the allocated Offer Shares being validly issued and registered in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository - Euronext Securities Oslo (VPS). The Private Placement as a whole (including Tranche 1), or only Tranche 2, may be cancelled if the relevant conditions are not fulfilled and may be cancelled by the Company in its sole discretion for any other reason.

The Board has considered the structure of the contemplated capital raise and the allocation to the Pre-Committing Investors in light of the equal treatment obligations under the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act, the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and the rules on equal treatment under Oslo Rule Book II for companies listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and the Oslo Stock Exchange's guidelines on the rule of equal treatment, and is of the opinion that the proposed Private Placement is in compliance with these requirements. By structuring the transaction as a private placement, the Company will be in a position to meet its requirements to raise capital in an efficient manner, and with a lower discount to the current trading price and with significantly lower completion risks compared to a rights issue. On this basis and based on an assessment of the current equity markets, the Board has considered the Private Placement to be in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders. As a consequence of the private placement structure, the shareholders' preferential rights to subscribe for the Offer Shares will be deviated from.

Subject to, inter alia, completion of the Private Placement, relevant corporate resolutions, including approval by the Board, prevailing market price of the Company's shares and approval of a prospectus, the Board may consider carrying out a subsequent offering (the "Subsequent Offering") of new shares at the same subscription price as the Private Placement and otherwise in line with market practice. Shareholders who were allocated shares in the Private Placement will not be eligible to participate in the Subsequent Offering. Further information on any Subsequent Offering will be given in a separate stock exchange release when available. Notwithstanding the above, the Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to not conduct or to cancel the Subsequent Offering.

ABG Sundal Collier ASA is acting as Global Coordinator and Joint Bookrunner, and Arctic Securities AS and Danske Bank, Norwegian Branch as Joint Bookrunners in the Private Placement. Advokatfirmaet Schj?dt AS is acting as legal advisor to the Company.
