Approval and publication of prospectus

The Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority has today, 8 May 2026, approved a prospectus prepared by the Company (the "Prospectus") for the listing of the 50,802,277 Unlisted New Shares, and for the Subsequent Offering and listing of the Offer Shares. The Prospectus, including the subscription form for the Subsequent Offering, will, subject to regulatory restrictions in certain jurisdictions, be made available at the website of Fearnley Securities AS (the "Manager"), acting as the sole manager in the Subsequent Offering, www.fearnleysecurities.com/transactions.

Certain financial information in the Prospectus is presented as of 31 March 2026 and has been derived from the Group's unaudited consolidated management accounts.

Listing of the Unlisted New Shares

The 50,802,277 Unlisted New Shares were issued on a separate temporary ISIN (NO 0013739227) and have not been tradable on Euronext Expand. Following the approval and publication of the Prospectus, the Unlisted New Shares will be transferred to the Company's ordinary ISIN (NO 0010607971) in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository, Euronext Securities Oslo (the "VPS"), and become tradable on Euronext Expand.

The Subsequent Offering

The Subsequent Offering comprises an offer of up to 15,000,000 Offer Shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.10, at a subscription price of NOK 3.25 per Offer Share (the "Offer Price"), being equal to the subscription price in the Private Placement. Subject to all Offer Shares being issued, the Subsequent Offering will result in approx. NOK 48.75 million gross proceeds to the Company.

The subscription period in the Subsequent Offering will commence on Monday, 11 May 2026 at 09:00 CEST, and will, subject to any extension, expire on 26 May 2026 at 16:30 CEST (the "Subscription Period").

The Company will, subject to applicable securities law, allocate subscription rights ("Subscription Rights") to subscribe for Offer Shares in the Subsequent Offering to shareholders who were holders of shares in the Company as of 6 March 2026 (being registered as such in the VPS on 10 March 2026 (the "Record Date")), who (i) were not included in the pre-sounding phase of the Private Placement, (ii) were not allocated shares in the Private Placement, and (iii) are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or would (in jurisdictions other than Norway) require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar action (jointly, the "Eligible Shareholders").

Each Eligible Shareholder will be granted 0.4 non-transferable Subscription Rights for every existing share registered as held by such Eligible Shareholder as of the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole subscription right. Each Subscription Right will, subject to applicable laws, give the right to subscribe for, and be allocated, one Offer Share in the Subsequent Offering at the Offer Price. The Company reserves the right to reduce the number of Offer Shares which one Subscription Right entitles Eligible Shareholders to receive in the event that (i) additional Eligible Shareholders are identified after the date hereof and (ii) the Company receives in excess of 15,000,000 valid subscriptions with subscription rights in the Subsequent Offering. Any such reduction will be made on an equal basis and uniformly applied to all subscribers in the Subsequent Offering.

Over-subscription for Eligible Shareholders with Subscription Rights and subscription without Subscription Rights will be permitted. However, there can be no assurance that Offer Shares will be allocated for such subscriptions. In the event of Offer Shares being available for allocation to subscribers without Subscription Rights, the Company's board of directors reserves the right to allocate such Offer Shares at its discretion.

The Subscription Rights must be used to subscribe for Offer Shares prior to expiry of the Subscription Period on 26 May 2026 at 16:30 CEST. Subscription Rights that are not used to subscribe for Offer Shares before the expiry of the Subscription Period will have no value and will lapse without compensation to the holder.

Subscription for Offer Shares by subscribers who are residents of Norway with a Norwegian personal identification number (Nw. fødsels- og personnummer) may be made by way of online subscription. The subscription form and further instructions regarding the subscription procedure are available in the Prospectus.

Information on allocated Offer Shares and the subscription amount to be paid by each subscriber are expected to be made available to the subscribers on or about 27 May 2026. The payment date for the Offer Shares allocated in the Subsequent Offering is expected to be on or about 29 May 2026. Subject to timely payment of the Offer Shares, the Company expects that the share capital increase pertaining to the Subsequent Offering will be registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises on or about 2 June 2026 and that the Offer Shares will commence trading on Euronext Expand on or about 2 June 2026.

The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel the Subsequent Offering.

Additional information regarding the Subsequent Offering and further instructions regarding the procedures for subscription of the Offer Shares, payment and delivery are included in the Prospectus.
