In connection with the over-allotment of 5,138,236 shares in the Company to applicants in the Offering (the "Additional Shares"), DNB Carnegie, a part of DNB Bank ASA, acting as stabilisation manager in connection with the Offering (the "Stabilisation Manager"), borrowed a number of existing shares equal to the number of Additional Shares from the Company's existing shareholders prior to the Offering (the "Selling Shareholders").
The Stabilisation Manager has, on 2 October 2026, on behalf of the Joint Global Coordinators, exercised the option to purchase a total of 5,138,236 shares from the Selling Shareholders at a price of NOK 33.00 per share to close out the short positions created in connection with the allocation of the Additional Shares (the "Greenshoe Option"). The price is equal to the price per share in the Offering. The Greenshoe Option is exercised in full, meaning that 5,138,236 existing shares will be purchased from the Selling Shareholders at a price of NOK 33.00 per share. Certain of the Selling Shareholders are primary insiders and closely associated persons to primary insiders as further described in the attached forms of notification.
As part of the Greenshoe Option, Yokru Invest AS has sold 755,396 shares, and thereby reduced its holding to 10,898,792 shares in the Company, corresponding to approximately 9.77% of the shares and votes.
No stabilisation activities have been undertaken or will be undertaken by the Stabilisation Manager.
