Lysaker, 15 January 2026: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement by Borgestad ASA (the "Company" and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Group") published on 27 October 2023 regarding the conditional agreement entered into with Bjuv municipality for the sale and leaseback of two properties in Sweden, where the Group's production plant and other production facilities for refractory products are located (the "Transaction"), and the later stock exchange announcements published by the Company regarding the approval of the Transaction by Bjuv municipality, the ruling by the Administrative Court in Malmö to revoke Bjuv municipality's approval of the Transaction and the decision by the Administrative Court of Appeal in Gothenburg to set aside the ruling of the Administrative Court in Malmö.
