Merger with Soiltech AS

On 30 May 2024, Oceanteam ASA and Soiltech AS announced that they had signed a merger plan for the combination of the two companies in an all-stock transaction, through a statutory merger (the "Merger").

The shareholders in Oceanteam ASA will receive as consideration 0.01543 shares in Soiltech AS for each share in Oceanteam ASA. After completion of the Merger, the combined company will be owned 93.35% by the shareholders of Soiltech AS while 6.65% will be owned by the shareholders of Oceanteam ASA.

On 4 July 2024, both Oceanteam ASA's and Soiltech AS's extraordinary general meetings approved the Merger with the requisite majorities.

On 19 August 2024, the six weeks creditor period pursuant to section 13-15 of the Norwegian Public Companies Act expired without any objections from the creditors.

On 27 August 2024, Oslo Stock Exchange resolved to admit the shares of Soiltech ASA to trading.

On 28 August 2024, Soiltech AS held an extraordinary general meeting in which Karin Govaert, current board member of Oceanteam ASA, was elected as a board member of Soiltech AS. Her election becomes effective upon registration of Soiltech AS's conversion to a public limited liability company (ASA) in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises which shall be registered immediately after implementation of the merger.

Completion of the Merger is still conditional upon satisfaction of the conditions set by the Oslo Stock Exchange for completion of the listing and certain other customary conditions.

The Merger will be completed by Oceanteam ASA transferring all its assets, rights and obligations to Soiltech AS, as the acquiring company. In return, the shareholders of Oceanteam ASA receive consideration shares in Soiltech AS. Soiltech AS will be the surviving entity following completion of the Merger, while Oceanteam ASA will be dissolved and liquidated.

It is expected that the Merger will be completed on 10 September 2024. The rest of this report should be read in light of the Merger.

Oceanteam intends on liquidating these remaining companies in 2024. The remaining subsidiary companies are incorporated in the Netherlands and Germany.

c. Comments related to the Financial Statements

Income Statement

The continuing operations represent Oceanteam ASA and some subsidiaries with little or no activity. The net result from the Oceanteam Shipping segment and Oceanteam Solutions segment is presented under discontinued operations.

Personnel costs for H1 2024 were USD 0.2 million (H1 2023: USD 0.4 million). The H1 2024 cost includes accrued severance pay costs related to Oceanteam ASA's two employees.

General & administration costs for H1 2024 were USD 0.4 million (H1 2023: USD 0.3 million). This increase was driven by merger related costs.

There was a foreign exchange loss in H1 2024 of USD 0.1 million compared to a foreign exchange gain in H1 2023 of USD 0.1 million.

The loss from continuing operations for H1 2024 was USD 0.6 million (H1 2023: USD 0.6 million). The loss from discontinued operations for H1 2024 was nil (H1 2023: 0.1 million).

The total loss of the Oceanteam Group decreased to USD 0.6 million in H1 2024 compared to USD 0.7 million in H1 2023.

Capital Structure

Total assets at the end of the reporting period amounted to USD 2.1 million, compared to USD 2.9 million as of 31 December 2023. Equity as a percentage of total assets was 87 percent per 30 June 2024, compared to 86 percent per 31 December 2023.

Oceanteam doesn't have any debt. The equity (share capital of the Company) is divided into 34,338,833 shares with a nominal value of NOK 5.75 each.

Balance Sheet

As at 30 June 2024, the total assets were USD 2.1 million of which USD 2 million was cash.

Cashflow and Liquidity

During H1 2024, the Group's cash position decreased from USD 2.8 million to USD 2.0 million. Net cash flow from operating activities amounted to negative USD 0.5 million. Net cash flow from investing activities was negative USD 0.3 million. This relates to costs to cancel all indemnities and warranties provided to the buyers of Oceanteam II B.V. and costs to settle various post completion verification arrangements.

Liquidity forecasts going forward show outgoing cashflows higher than incoming cashflows. The company has sufficient cash reserves to cover this net cash outflow for an extended period of time, well in excess of 12 months from the publication date of this report.

d. Going Concern

In accordance with the Accounting Act § 3-3a Oceanteam ASA confirms that the financial statements have been prepared under the assumption of going concern. This assumption is based on forecasts for the years 2024 - 2025. The Directors have considered all available information about the future when concluding whether the Company is a going concern at the date they approve the financial statements. The review covers a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the interim report.

Detailed disclosure note information on future cash flows for the period of 12 months (from April 2024 until April 2025) with underlying key assumptions are available in the 2023 annual report within Financial Statement disclosure Note 3.

e. Events after the Balance Sheet Date

There were no events after the balance sheet date at the time of publishing this report.

6. Confirmation from the Board of Directors and CEO

We confirm to the best of our knowledge that the condensed set of financial statements for the period 1 January 2024 to 30 June 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by EU, and additional requirements found in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, and give a true and fair view of Oceanteam ASA's consolidated assets, liabilities, financial position and result for the period.
