EGD Shipping Invest AS which is 100% owned by EGD Shipholding AS (the "Seller") has retained Clarksons Securities AS and DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA (the "Managers") to explore a potential block sale of existing shares in Klaveness Combination Carriers ASA (the "Company" or "KCC") through a private placement (the "Offering").

The Seller reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to sell fewer shares or no shares at all. The price in the Offering will be set through an accelerated bookbuilding process.
The application period in the Offering will commence immediately (28 February 2023) and will close on 1 March 2023 at 08:00 CET. The Seller may, at its sole discretion, extend or shorten the application period at any time and for any reason without notice. If the application period is extended or shortened, the other dates referred to herein might be changed. The Offering is expected to be allocated before 09:00 CET on 1 March 2023 (T). The settlement in the Offering will be conducted on a normal delivery-versus-payment basis (DVP T+2).
The Seller currently holds 8,805,128 shares in the Company (equal to approx. 16.81% of the Company's outstanding shares). In addition, the Seller's parent company, EGD Shipholding AS, holds 55,691 warrants issued by the Company, each of which entitle the holder to subscribe one new share in the Company at a subscription price of NOK 44.38 per share. If the demand in the Offering is satisfactory, the Seller may hold 5,805,128 shares after the transaction. EGD Shipholding AS will continue to hold 55,691 warrants issued by the Company. The Seller will enter into a 90-day customary lock-up with the Managers following completion of the Offering for any of the shares the Seller currently holds in the Company which are not sold as part of the Offering.
The minimum order and allocation in the Offering have been set to the NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000.
