Note 4 Change in classification of asset - restated financial figures

CHANGE IN CLASSIFICATION - THE INVESTMENT IN HYUNDAI GLOVIS CO., LTD

The group has previously recognised the investment as financial assets to fair value ("FV") measurement with changes in FV recognised in profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments.

In 2023 the group has changed the classification to consider Hyundai Glovis as an associated company and to recognise the investment according to the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, with the group's share of changes in net assets of Hyundai Glovis reported as share of profit from associates and dividends from associates. This change comes as a result from discussions with Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (the "NFSA").

The change in classification should be corrected retrospectivly as an error according to IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

Applying IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, the group have presented in this note the restated comparable amounts for each period presented as if the investment in Hyundai Glovis had been recognised in accordance with the equity method for each period starting from the reporting period ending December 31, 2021.

The impact on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022 is a decrease in total equity and retained earnings of USD 26.9 million.

The groups's restated financial statements for previous period is presented annual report for 2023 and for 1 half year 2023 below.
