Oslo, 26 May 2026: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement made by Awilco LNG ASA ("Awilco LNG" or the "Company") earlier today, 26 May 2026 regarding the last day of the subscription period (the "Subscription Period") for the subsequent offering of up to 15,000,000 new shares in the Company, each with a par value of NOK 0.10 ("Offer Shares"), at a subscription price of NOK 3.25 per Offer Share (the "Subsequent Offering").
The Subscription Period expired today, 26 May 2026, at 16:30 CEST. The final results show that the Company has received valid subscriptions for a total of 9,093,946 Offer Shares, comprising 4,942,323 Offer Shares subscribed by eligible shareholders exercising their subscription rights, 937,082 Offer Shares from oversubscriptions, and 3,214,541 Offer Shares from subscriptions without subscription rights.
Pursuant to the authorisation granted by the Company's extraordinary general meeting held on 30 March 2026, the board of directors of the Company has today resolved to allocate and issue a total of 9,093,946 Offer Shares, thereby increasing the Company's share capital by NOK 909,394.60, in accordance with the allocation principles set out in the Prospectus. The Company will consequently raise approximately NOK 29.5 million in gross proceeds through the Subsequent Offering.
Notifications of allocated Offer Shares and the corresponding subscription amount to be paid by each subscriber are expected to be distributed and made available on 27 May 2026. Subscribers having access to investor services through their account manager with Euronext Securities Oslo ("VPS") will be able to check the number of Offer Shares allocated to them from 12:00 CEST on 27 May 2026. Subscribers who do not have access to investor services through their VPS account manager may contact the Manager (as defined below) from 12:00 CEST on 27 May 2026 for information about the number of Offer Shares allocated to them.
The subscription amount for payment by the subscribers for allocated Offer Shares falls due on 29 May 2026 in accordance with the payment procedures set out in the Prospectus.
The Offer Shares may not be transferred or traded until they are fully paid and the share capital increase pertaining to the Subsequent Offering has been registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises (the "NRBE"). The Company will publish a stock exchange announcement once such share capital increase has been registered. Subject to timely payment for the Offer Shares allocated in the Subsequent Offering and registration of the share capital increase, the Offer Shares are expected to be delivered on or about 2 June 2026 and commence trading on Euronext Expand on or about the same day.
Following registration of the share capital increase with the NRBE, the Company's share capital will be NOK 21,895,455.50, divided into 218,954,555 shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.10.
