Aurora Eiendom AS

Admission to trading of shares on Euronext Growth Oslo

__________________________________

This Information document (the "Information Document") has been prepared by Aurora Eiendom AS (the "Company"), a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Norway, solely for use in connection with the admission to trading of the Company's 20,550,400 outstanding shares, each with a par value of NOK 75 (the "Shares") on Euronext Growth Oslo (the "Admission").

The Company's Shares have been admitted for trading on Euronext Growth Oslo and it is expected that the Shares will start trading on 15 December 2021 under the ticker symbol "AURA".

Euronext Growth is a market operated by Euronext. Companies on Euronext Growth, a multilateral trading facility (MTF), are not subject to the same rules as companies on a Regulated Market (a main market). Instead, they are subject to a less extensive set of rules and regulations adjusted to small growth companies. The risk in investing in a company on Euronext Growth may therefore be higher than investing in a company on a Regulated Market. Investors should take this into account when making investment decisions.

The present Information Document does not constitute a prospectus within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market and repealing Directive 2003/71.

The present Information Document has been drawn up under the responsibility of the Issuer. It has been reviewed by the Euronext Growth Advisor and has been subject to an appropriate review of its completeness, consistency, and comprehensibility by Euronext.

THIS INFORMATION DOCUMENT SERVES AS AN INFORMATION DOCUMENT ONLY, AS REQUIRED BY THE EURONEXT GROWTH MARKETS RULE BOOK. THIS INFORMATION DOCUMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUE AN OFFER TO BUY, SUBSCRIBE OR SELL ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN, AND NO SECURITIES ARE BEING OFFERED OR SOLD PURSUANT HERETO.

INFORMATION TO DISTRIBUTORS

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that they each are: (i) compatible with an end target market of investors who meet the criteria of non-professional, professional clients, and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II (the "Positive Target Market"); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II. Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment (as defined below), distributors should note that: the price of the Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. Conversely, an investment in the Shares is not compatible with investors looking for full capital protection or full repayment of the amount invested or having no risk tolerance, or investors requiring a fully guaranteed income or fully predictable return profile (the "Negative Target Market", and, together with the Positive Target Market, the "Target Market Assessment"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

The Company is a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Norway. As a result, the rights of holders of the Shares will be governed by Norwegian law and the Company's articles of association (the "Articles of Association"). The rights of shareholders under Norwegian law may differ from the rights of shareholders of companies incorporated in other jurisdictions.

2 RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Company's shares involves inherent risks. Before making an investment decision, investors should carefully consider the risk factors and all information contained in this Information Document. The risks and uncertainties described in this Information Document are the principal known risks and uncertainties faced by the Company as of the date hereof that the Company believes are the material risks relevant to an investment in the shares. An investment in the Company's Shares is suitable only for investors who understand the risks associated with this type of investment and who can afford a loss of all or part of their investment. The absence of a negative experience associated with a given risk factor does not mean that the risks and uncertainties described herein should not be considered prior to making an investment decision.

If any of the risks were to materialize, individually or together with other circumstances, it could have a material and adverse effect on the Company and/or its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and/or prospects, which may cause a decline in the value of the shares that could result in a loss of all or part of any investment in the shares. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks the Company may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company currently believes are immaterial, or that are currently not known to the Company, may also have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. The Covid-19 pandemic may adversely affect the likeliness and/or materiality of the risk factors presented herein and could also impose additional risks that have not yet been identified by the Company or considered as material risks at the date of this Information Document.

The order in which risks are presented below does not reflect the likelihood of their occurrence or the magnitude of their potential impact on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or prospects. The information in this risk factor section is as of the date of this Information Document.

2.1 Risks related to the business of the Group and the industry in which it operates

Risk related to market level for rent

The Company is exposed to the risk of a reduction in general rent levels. Rent levels are affected by a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company's control, such as general macroeconomic developments, changes in consumer patterns and consumer confidence, availability, and development of competing shopping facilities in the vicinity of the Company's centres and changes in law and regulations. Rental income constitutes substantially all of the Company's revenue and any fall in rent levels may have a material negative effect on the Company's results of operations and financial positions.

Risks related to changes in consumer patterns

A shift in consumer patterns towards online shopping or otherwise away from shopping at shopping centres would reduce the demand for retail premises at the Company's shopping centres and would be likely to have a negative effect on rent levels. The shift towards online buying has negatively affected shopping during recent years, and an acceleration in this trend may have a material negative impact on the Company's revenue and profitability.

Risks relating to lack of operational history

The Company is a newly founded and incorporated entity and as such has limited operating history and no trading history. The Company has a very limited organization (the Company has no employees, and the members of its senior management are all on hire from Alti Forvaltning AS, 50% owned by the Company), and the initial operations will be focused on its five shopping centres (Amanda, Nerstranda, Nordbyen, Vinterbro, and Farmandstredet). There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to establish a successful operation.

Risks related to dependence on small number of shopping centres

Current portfolio compromising five shopping centres. While Company aims to increase its portfolio with additional centres, there can be no assurance as to whether and when this will take place. As long as the Company's portfolio is no bigger than the initial five centres, negative developments at one of the centres will significantly affect the entire group. Furthermore, such a limited portfolio can make it difficult for the Company to compete

with larger competitors who may benefit from significant economies of scale.

Risks related to the Company's ambitions, implementation of business strategy and expansion

The Company has a growth strategy and aims to acquire additional shopping centres in Norway. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will achieve its ambitions for expanding its business. The Company's growth strategy is dependent on identifying relevant acquisition targets and successfully acquiring them at acceptable terms. If the Company is not successful in acquiring additional shopping centres it will not obtain the benefits of having a larger portfolio of centres, such as the ability to secure attractive terms from suppliers, a lower financing cost, or other operational and financial efficiencies.

Transaction risk

The Company has entered into binding purchase agreements, and completed such agreements, for its five initial shopping centres. There is a risk that one or more of the acquisitions will not be successful as planned. Furthermore, there is a risk that negative issues will be discovered in relation to the companies and the properties purchased. The purchase agreements will not necessarily protect the Company from the effects of any such negative issues. Any such negative issues may result in a reduced value of the properties, reduced revenue, or increased costs.

Tenant risk

Most of the Company's revenue arises from rent payment by its tenants. Bankruptcies by tenants or other defaults under lease agreements may result in loss of revenue. There may not necessarily be guarantees in place protecting the Company against such payment defaults. Certain future lease agreements of the Group may in the future contain "change of control"-clauses or similar provisions, and there may be a risk that some tenants will use the Company's acquisition of the centres as basis for trying to terminate their lease agreements or renegotiate terms. Termination of leases, whether due to bankruptcies or exercise of contractual rights, will result in a loss of revenue unless the Company obtains new tenants at the same rent levels. Demands for reduction in rent by tenants can also result in reduced revenue. Furthermore, bankruptcies or other store closures will result in vacant premises, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure new tenants at acceptable terms. Vacant premises will reduce the Company's revenue and can also make the Company's centres less attractive and thus negatively affect rent levels. The Company has a number of tenants with turnover based rent. A reduction in the turnover of such tenants will negatively affect the Company's revenue.

Risks related to competition

There are strong competitors in the market for shopping centres, some of whom have significantly more resources than the Company. If competitors establish competing shopping centres near the Company's centres or upgrade existing centres, this could have a material negative effect on the Company. Furthermore, the Company's growth ambitions may be negatively affected if its competitors attempt to acquire centres targeted by the Company.

Property risks

The properties owned by the Company will be exposed to a variety of risks associated with owning real property, such as the risk of landslides, fire, and construction defects. Furthermore, the Company's properties may be subject to easements, rights of first refusal or other contractual restrictions which may have a negative effect on the value of the properties. For example, the main property at Amanda can only be sold or pledged together with the centre's parking facilities, which are co-owned with Coop, and Coop has a right of first refusal to the property. Coop also has a contractual right to deny the establishment of additional grocery stores at Amanda.

Risks related to the Covid-19 outbreak and other pandemics

The Covid-19 pandemic and other outbreaks of pandemics or diseases have had negative effects on shopping centres and may have material adverse effects on the Company going forward. Pandemics may result in full partial closures of shopping centres or in a reduction of customers at shopping centres. This may result in defaults or bankruptcies by retail stores at the Company's shopping centres or in demands for reductions or suspensions in lease payments. In addition, there is a risk that Covid-19 and any future pandemics will accelerate a shift in consumers' shopping habits towards internet shopping as opposed to physical retail store shopping.

Risks related to anchor stores

Certain stores, such as Vinmonopolet, play an important role in attracting customers to the Company's shopping centres. If such stores should choose to relocate to other facilities, this could reduce the attractiveness of the Company's shopping centres and have a negative effect on its revenue and profitability.

Risks related to maintenance and refurbishments

The Company will incur significant ongoing maintenance costs in relation to its centres. Furthermore, it will from time to time be necessary to carry out refurbishment projects at the Company's centres. The costs related to maintenance and refurbishments depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company's control. Increased costs can have a negative effect on the Company's results of operations. Furthermore, refurbishment projects will be subject to risks such as insufficient project management or cost overruns.

Risks related to management services

Management of the Company will be undertaken by Alti Forvaltning AS under a management services agreement, and the Company's subsidiaries have entered into management agreements with Alti Forvaltning AS for the management of the respective shopping centres and properties. The Company's centres are newly acquired, and Alti Forvaltning AS has no experience with managing these centres. If Alti Forvaltning AS does not perform its services in a satisfactory manner this may have a material negative impact on the Company. Furthermore, if Alti Forvaltning AS should for any reason terminate the management services agreement, the Company would need to engage a new manager or recruit in house management. This could have a negative impact on the Company.

Risks related to supply agreements

The Company is exposed to risks in connection with supply agreements. Given the Company's lack of operational history it will either have to assume existing agreements at the centres it is acquiring or enter into new agreements. The Company will not necessarily be able to assume existing supply agreements when acquiring centres and would then need to enter into new agreements. Attractive terms from suppliers are an important factor in keeping common costs at a competitive level. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into satisfactory supplier agreements. A failure to do so may increase costs and can make the Company's centres less attractive for tenants. Furthermore, any default under, or termination of, existing or future supplier agreements could negatively affect the Company.

Risks related to location

An attractive location is important for the ability of a shopping centre to attract visitors. How attractive the location of a centre is may be affected by factors outside of the Company's control, such as urban development projects, changes in population density or affluence and traffic patterns and restrictions.

2.2 Risks related to laws, regulations, andcompliance

Risks related to laws, regulations, compliance, and restrictions on the business

The Company's activities are subject to a variety of different law and regulations, including but not limited to planning and zoning laws, fire safety regulations, health regulations and environmental laws. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in fines or other sanctions. Furthermore, future changes in laws and regulations, or in the interpretation and application of existing laws and regulations, may result in increased costs or otherwise negatively affect the Company's properties or operations. Changes in local planning rules may restrict the Company's ability to expand its centres or may permit competitors to establish new centres in the vicinity of the Company's centres. For example, an existing proposal for area plan for the Municipality of Larvik will restrict the ability to expand the Nordbyen centre and will permit the establishment of a new shopping centre in the centre of Larvik.

Risks related to value added tax

The Company's activities are subject to complex rules relating to value added tax (VAT). The interpretation and application of VAT rules may be unclear. Any failure to apply VAT rules correctly may result in increased costs and potentially fines or other sanctions.

Risks related to management and employees

The Company has currently no employees and the members of its senior management are all on hire from Alti Forvaltning AS, which is 50 % owned by the Company. The Company is dependent on competent management and employees, both employed and consultants, through its management agreement with Alti Forvaltning AS. The risk is mainly connected to the transition and build up period following the effectuation of the transactions. There will be risks in establishing a well-functioning, relevant, and skilled organisation in order to maintain all the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has no assurance that Alti Forvaltning AS is recruiting qualified employees/consultants or that Alti Forvaltning AS, on behalf of the Company, will be able to attract qualified personnel to replace or supplement its current, key employees. Therefore, any loss of the services of key employees, particularly to competitors, or the inability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operation, cash flow, financial condition and/or prospects.

Cybersecurity risk

Threats to network and data security are increasingly diverse and sophisticated and the Company's servers, computer systems and those of third parties that is uses in its operations are vulnerable to cybersecurity risks.

Risks related to litigation, disputes, and claims

The Company may in the future be involved in litigation and disputes. No assurance can be given that the Company is not exposed to claims, litigation, and compliance risks, which could expose the Company to losses and liabilities Such claims, disputes and proceedings are subject to uncertainty, and their outcomes are often difficult to predict. Adverse regulatory action or judgment in litigation could result in sanctions of various types for the Company, including, but not limited to, the payment of fines, damages or other amounts, the invalidation of contracts, restrictions, or limitations on the Company's operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's reputation or financial condition.

Environmental risk

The Company's operations are subject to environmental requirements which govern, among other matters, ground conditions, waste management and energy effectiveness. Many of these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, and the cost of compliance, including penalties if the Company fails to comply with these requirements, may change and increase over time. Furthermore, sustainability is becoming increasingly more important. A failure to satisfy expectations and requirements relating to sustainability may make the Company's properties less attractive to stores and visitors and can make access future debt and equity funding more difficult.

2.3 Risk related to financial matters

Risks related to financing

The Group's business and future plans are capital intensive, and the Company will be reliant on debt financing. Furthermore, the Company's growth strategy is likely to require the raising of additional equity financing. Adequate sources of capital funding might not be available when needed or may only be available on unfavourable terms, or not available at all. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Company may be unable to fund maintenance requirements and acquisitions, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures. Further, the Company's debt financing includes financial covenants and other restrictive terms, such as change of control-clauses, minimum liquidity, interest cover ratio, LTV, and restrictions on dividends. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with its debt financing agreements. Further, the financing agreements have a final maturity date on 36 months after the first drawdown under each of the respective facilities and must be refinanced at the latest on such date. The revolving credit facility is committed for one year and will either be either renewed or cancelled in Q3 2022. If the Group fails to refinance the financing agreements on satisfactory terms, or to refinance the facilities at all, this could have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial condition and may trigger sale of centres and/or equity issues.

Risks related to being a holding company

The Company is a holding company and generates its cash flow from its subsidiaries. As a result, cash obtained

from its subsidiaries is the principal source of liquidity used to meet the Company's obligations. The Company's subsidiaries' financial conditions, operating requirements and debt requirements may limit the Company's ability to meet its obligations when due.

Risks related to illiquid assets

Shopping centres are relatively illiquid assets. As a result, if the Company should decide to dispose of some of its shopping centres, there can be no assurance that it will be able to find a buyer at an acceptable price.

Insurance risk

The Company may not be able to maintain adequate insurance at rates management considers reasonable or be able to obtain insurance against all relevant risks. Moreover, the Company's insurance coverage could subject to certain significant deductibles and levels of self-insurance, does not cover all types of losses and, in some situations, may not provide full coverage for losses or liabilities resulting from the Company's operations. In addition, the Company may experience increased costs related to insurance. Insurers may not continue to offer the type and level of coverage that the Company currently maintains, and its costs may increase substantially as a result of increased premiums, potentially to the point where coverage is not available on economically manageable terms. Should liability limits be increased via legislative or regulatory action, it is possible that the Company may not be able to insure certain activities to a desirable level.

2.4 Risks related to the Shares

Risks related to the shares

Although the Company will list the Shares at Euronext Growth there can be no assurance that the listing will be successful, and a listing will not guarantee satisfactory liquidity in the Company's shares. The market value of the shares may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors beyond the Company's control, including adverse business developments, variations in operating results, changes in financial estimates and cost estimates, announcements of new developments or new circumstances within the industry, litigation or disputes involving the Company, unforeseen events and liabilities, changes in management, changes to the regulatory environment in which the Company operates or general market conditions. The market value of the Shares could also be substantially affected by the extent to which a secondary market develops or sustains for the Shares. Further, future sales, or the possibility for future sales of substantial numbers of the Shares may affect the market price of the Shares in an adverse manner.

Risks related to distribution of dividends

Norwegian law provides that any declaration of dividends must be adopted by the shareholders at the Company's general meeting of shareholders. Dividends may only be declared to the extent that the Company has distributable funds and the Company's Board of Directors finds such a declaration to be prudent in consideration of the size, nature, scope, and risks associated with the Company's operations and the need to strengthen its liquidity and financial position. The Group's financing agreements contains financial covenants related to distributions.

Shareholders outside of Norway are subject to exchange rate risk

All of the Shares will be priced in Norwegian Kroner (NOK), the lawful currency of Norway, and any future payments of dividend distributions on the Shares, or other distributions from the Company will be denominated in NOK. Accordingly, any investor outside Norway is subject to adverse movements in the NOK against their local currency, as the foreign currency equivalent of any dividends paid on the Shares, or price received in connection with any sale of the Shares, could be materially impacted upon by adverse currency movements.

Norwegian law could limit shareholders' ability to bring an action against the Company

The rights of holders of the Shares are governed by Norwegian law and by the Company's Articles of Association. These rights may differ from the rights of shareholders in other jurisdictions. In particular, Norwegian law limits the circumstances under which shareholders of Norwegian companies may bring derivative actions. For example, under Norwegian law, any action brought by the Company in respect of wrongful acts committed against the Company will be prioritised over actions brought by shareholders claiming compensation in respect of such acts. In addition, it could be difficult to prevail in a claim against the Company under, or to enforce liabilities predicated upon, securities laws in other jurisdictions.

Investors with nominee accounts could be unable to exercise their voting rights for Shares

Beneficial owners of the Shares that are registered behind a nominee account (such as through brokers, dealers or other third parties) could be unable to vote for such Shares unless their ownership is re-registered in their names with the VPS prior to any General Meeting. There is no assurance that beneficial owners of the Shares will receive the notice of any General Meeting in time to instruct their nominees to either effect a re-registration of their Shares or otherwise vote for their Shares in the manner desired by such beneficial owners.

Risk related to transfers by major shareholders

Eiendomsspar AS (ownership of 17.03%), Joh Johannson Eiendom AS (ownership of 14.60% of the Shares), Alti Invest AS (ownership of 10.51% of the Shares), NSF IV Norway Holding 10 AS (ownership of 9.73% of the Shares), and Strawberry Shopping AS (ownership of 7.30% of the Shares) are significant shareholders in the Company. Other than any lock-up arrangements otherwise described in this Information Document, to which some of these significant shareholders are subject, there is no restriction on their ability to sell, reduce or increase its holding in the Company, and any reduction or increase in its holding may lead to different outcomes. If these significant shareholders sell substantial amounts of Shares to the public market or is perceived by the public market as intending to sell, the trading price of the Shares could be adversely affected. The Company cannot predict the timing or amount of future sales of our securities by these significant shareholders or any other shareholder, but such sales, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Shares. Any reduction in these significant shareholder's shareholding may constitute a change of control under the Group's financing agreements and may reduce the Group's ability to realize operational or financial benefits, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's ability to obtain financing from equity raises or issuance of debt securities, the prevailing market prices of the Shares and our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, due to the provision in the Articles of Association section 6, if a shareholder becomes the owner of shares representing more 50% of the outstanding shares, such person(s) will be obliged to make a bid for the purchase of the remaining shares in the Company, whereof the Norwegian Securities Trading Act chapter 6 shall apply to the bid price and the procedure for transfer of the Shares. Please refer to section 7.5 for further information in relation to the Articles of Association section 6.

Intended increase of properties

The Company intends to expand the business by acquiring more shopping centres.

The Company's goal is to build a large and high-quality portfolio of shopping centres. To achieve this, the Company will focus to acquire shopping centres located in large and medium-sized cities in Norway, and potentially with time in the Nordics, that either are leading, or have the potential to become leading, in their areas.

Leading up to each acquisition the Company evaluates the prospective shopping centre based on a set of investment criteria. Each prospective centre is analysed in detail by in-house shopping centre experts, which carry out analysis of location, the quality of the asset and technical condition, the tenant mix, occupancy, OCR ratios, and the overall cost base. The rent roll is analysed to assess the overall healthiness of the centres and to understand normalised rent levels. An overall portfolio fit evaluation is also carried out to see what the prospective centre can contribute and fit into to the portfolio.

The Company is currently evaluating potential acquisition targets and has engaged in discussions with the owners of these targets.

Current and intended business areas

The Company's current core business is owning, operating, and developing shopping centres.

The Company's structure:

The Company's portfolio of shopping centres is managed by Alti Forvaltning AS, which is owned 50 % by the Company. Alti Forvaltning AS operates and develops all the shopping centres which are owned by the Company, on behalf of the Company. This includes, but is not limited to, contract management, rental, development and construction projects, marketing, technical operations, and various support for the centres' administration, and Alti Forvaltning AS will therefore work as a full-service manager for the Company.

4.4 Principal markets

Retail shopping

Despite the fact that the Company does not itself buy and sell goods, the Company is operating in the retail shopping industry through its tenants. This means that the Company is dependent on the retail shopping industry and will need to follow the developments and trends within this market. The Company is working to develop increased integration in its shopping centres between traditional physical retail and digital shopping.

Despite the fact that e-commerce is booming, it is the Company's opinion that both traditional retail and ecommerce will be instrumental in the future. The online sales penetration has increased steadily in Norway over the last 10 years, but traditional retail still accounts for the majority share, and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. The Company views a shopping centre as a place for more than just the purchasing of goods. In addition, it has the opportunity to provide the customer with real life experience which includes socialising, dining and exploring new products and services you normally would not have engaged with from behind your computer.

Rental of premises

The Company's main source of income is rental income from the shopping centres' tenants. This means that the Company will have to follow the general price development for rent, as well as to ensure that the shopping centres at all times have attractive tenants. This secures customers, which in turn will contribute to stable income for the Company, because the customers secure tenants.

4.5 ESG

Alti Forvaltning AS has a strong focus on the environment and has started a three-step process to improve on the Company's overall sustainability. The three streps involve mapping out the current environmental work in the organization, to set defines goals for further environmental work and to do follow-ups and work towards set environmental goals. Furthermore, the Company has already initiated several sustainability measures, including framework agreement to establish high-speed charging station for electrical vehicles at all centres managed by Alti Forvaltning AS.

The Company's initial shopping centre portfolio are all BREEAM In-Use classified, which means that the buildings' performance has been scored in key environmental categories such as management, health and wellbeing, energy and transport.

4.6 Related party transactions

On the 14 June 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to buy 50% of the shares in Alti Forvaltning AS from Alti AS for a purchase price of NOK 55 million. The transaction was completed in June 2021. After the disposal, Alti Forvaltning AS has entered into a management agreement with the Company to operate and develop the Company's real estate portfolio on market terms, aligned with terms Alti Forvaltning AS has with other thirdparty clients. In addition, the Company's subsidiaries have entered into management agreements with Alti Forvaltning AS for the management of the respective shopping centres and properties. Other than this, the Company has not entered into agreements with any related parties.

7.4 Share capital and share capital history

7.5 Transferability of the Company's Shares

The Articles of Association section 6 includes a provision implying that if any person, or group of persons within the meaning of the Companies Act section 1-3 (2), through acquisition becomes the owner of shares representing more than 50% of the outstanding shares, such person(s) will be obliged to make a bid for the purchase of the remaining shares in the Company, and whereof the Norwegian Securities Trading Act chapter 6 shall apply to the bid price and the procedure for transfer of the Shares.

Investors in the Company's Shares must be aware that, as of the date of this Information Document, the Norwegian takeover rules only apply in relation to voluntary and mandatory bids in Norwegian companies (and in certain foreign companies) listed on the regulated markets in Norway (i.e., on Oslo Børs or Euronext Expand), and accordingly not on Euronext Growth Oslo.

Consequently, no takeover supervisory authority exists to oversee the compliance with takeover rules included in the issuers' Articles of Association on a voluntary basis, with shares traded on Euronext Growth Oslo. As no takeover supervisory authority exists, any disputes, in relation to bid price and the procedure for transfer of the Shares, must be solved directly between the shareholders (in matters in relation to the offeror's obligations) and directly between the shareholder(s) and the Company (in matters in relation to the Company's obligations), and if not successful, such disputes can be referred to the courts of Norway.

If the Articles of Association section 6 is triggered the Company anticipates that the following clauses will apply (at all times within the meaning of Articles of Association): (i) the offering shareholder(s) must comply with the Norwegian Securities Trading Act sections 6-10 (the bid, including bid price), 6-11 (1) (period of the bid), 6-12 (new bid), and 6-13 (requirements on the offer document), respectively; and (ii) the Company must comply with the Norwegian Securities Trading Act sections 6-16 (the issuer's statement regarding the bid), 6-17 (restrictions on the issuers actions), and 6-18 (public disclosure of the result of the bid), respectively. The consolidation rules in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act section 6-5 are not applicable, due to the reference to the Companies Act section 1-3 (2) in the Articles of Association section 6.

If the Articles of Association section 6 is not complied with by the shareholders, the Company and/or the other shareholders may initiate legal available actions based on, inter alia, the Companies Act, and if the Articles of Association section 6 is not complied with by the Company, the shareholders may initiate similar actions. The Board of Directors will monitor the shareholders' compliance with the Articles of Association section 6 and actively consult with the shareholders to ensure compliance, in relation to bid price and procedure for transfer of the Shares, in case of a trigger event.

Other than as set out above, there are no other general ownership restrictions for the Company's Shares.

7.6 Authorizations

As of the date of this Information Document, the Board of Directors has not been granted any authorisation to increase the Company's share capital, nor to acquire own shares.

7.7 Reasons for the Admission

The Company believes the Admission will enhance the Company's profile with investors, customers and

employees; allow for a trading platform and more liquid market for the Shares; facilitate for a more diversified shareholder base and enable additional investors to take part in the Company's future growth and value creation; allow for a tradable share that can be used as currency for potential forthcoming acquisitions; provide better access to capital markets; and further improve the ability of the Company to attract and retain key management and employees.

This private placement was directed towards Alti AS, whereof the seller's credit in connection with sale of Alti Forvaltning AS was set off against the subscription amount for the shares.

Pangea Property Partners AS, SpareBank 1 Markets AS, and DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA, acted as managers in connection with the Company's private placements in June 2021.

7.13 Shareholder agreement related to Alti Forvaltning AS

The Company has entered into a shareholder agreement in relation to Alti Forvaltning AS with Alti AS. The Company and Alti AS each own 50 % of Alti Forvaltning AS. Alti AS is owned by LL Holding AS (80%) and Sørco Holding AS (20%).

The shareholder agreement contains several purchase options:

  • Alti AS has a purchase option on the Company's shares in Alti Forvaltning AS if the total market value of shopping centres under management of Alti Forvaltning AS on behalf of the Company and the Company's subsidiaries fall below NOK 5 billion as a result of sale of shopping centres or properties, and the management regarding the respective centre or property is terminated. The purchase price is determined at the Company's share of book equity in Alti Forvaltning AS at the time of the exercise of the option.
  • If Alti Forvaltning AS' assignment for the Company's subsidiaries is terminated in its entirety by the Company in the first agreement period, an option is triggered for Alti AS to purchase the Company's shares in Alti Forvaltning AS at a purchase price of NOK 1 per share.
  • If Alti Forvaltning AS' assignment for the Company's subsidiaries in its entirety is terminated by the Company in the second agreement period or in later agreement periods, an option is triggered for Alti AS to purchase the Company's shares in Alti Forvaltning AS. The purchase price is determined at the Company's share of book equity in Alti Forvaltning AS at the time of exercising the option.
  • If Alti AS establishes its own shopping centre management outside Alti Forvaltning AS, or LL Holding AS terminates the management of all shopping centres that Alti Forvaltning AS manages for the Company, the Company has a purchase option on Alti AS' shares in Alti Forvaltning AS. The purchase price is determined to Alti AS' share of book equity in Alti Forvaltning AS at the time of exercising the option. This purchase option does not apply in a case where Alti AS and/or LL Holding AS acquires an ownership interest in an existing management company for shopping centres.

7.14 Dividend and dividend policy

The Company has not distributed dividends since its incorporation. The Company is currently in a growth phase and will seek to deploy available capital towards growth initiatives. Beyond the growth phase, it is the Company's ambition to pay dividends to shareholders as soon as it considers itself to be able to do so and when it is in the general interest of the shareholders.

There can be no assurances that in any given period it will be proposed or declared, or if proposed or declared, that the dividend will be as contemplated by the above. In deciding whether to propose dividend and in determining the dividend amount in the future, the Board of Directors must consider applicable legal restrictions, as set out in the Companies Act, the Company's capital requirements, including capital expenditure requirements, its financial condition, general business conditions and any restrictions that its contractual arrangements in force at the time of the dividend may place on its ability to pay dividends and the maintenance of appropriate financial flexibility. Except in certain specific and limited circumstances set out in the Companies Act, the dividends paid may not exceed the amount recommended by the Board of Directors.

Any dividends on the Shares will be denominated in NOK. Any dividends or other payments on the Shares will be paid through the Company's VPS Registrar.

7.15 Takeover bids and forced transfer of shares

The Company is not subject to the takeover regulations set out in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, or otherwise, other than as set out in Section 7.5 ("Transferability of the Company's Shares"). The Shares are, however, subject to the provisions on compulsory transfer of shares as set out in the Companies Act. If a private limited liability company alone, or through subsidiaries, owns 9/10 or more of the shares in the subsidiary, and may exercise a corresponding part of the votes that may be cast in the general meeting, the Board of Directors of the parent company may resolve that the parent company shall take over the remaining shares in the company. Each of the other shareholders in the subsidiary have the right to require the parent company to take over the shares. The parent company shall give the shareholders redemption offers, pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act. The redemption amount will in the absence of agreement or acceptance of the offer be fixed by a discretionary valuation.

According to the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 ("MAR"), as implemented through the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, subscription for, purchase, sale or exchange of financial instruments that are admitted to trading, or subject to an application for admission to trading on a Norwegian Regulated Market or a Norwegian Multilateral Trading Facility, or incitement to such dispositions, must not be undertaken by anyone who has inside information. Inside information is defined in Article 7(1)(a) of the MAR and refers to precise information about financial instruments issued by the Company admitted to trading, about the Company admitted trading itself or about other circumstances which are likely to have a noticeable effect on the price of financial instruments issued by the Company admitted to trading or related to financial instruments issued by the Company admitted to trading, and which is not publicly available or commonly known in the market. Information that is likely to have a noticeable effect on the price shall be understood to mean information that a rational investor would probably make use of as part of the basis for his investment decision. The same applies to the entry into, purchase, sale, or exchange of options or futures/forward contracts or equivalent rights whose value is connected to such financial instruments or incitement to such dispositions. Breach of insider trading obligations may be sanctioned and lead to criminal charges.

7.17 Certain aspects of Norwegian corporate law

General meetings

Through the general meeting, shareholders exercise supreme authority in a Norwegian company. In accordance with the Companies Act, the annual general meeting of shareholders is required to be held each year on or prior to 30 June. Norwegian law requires that a written notice of annual general meetings setting forth the time of the venue for and the agenda of the meeting is sent to all shareholders with a known address no later than seven days before the annual general meeting of a Norwegian private limited liability company shall be held, unless the articles of association stipulate a longer deadline, which is not currently the case for the Company.

A shareholder may vote at the general meeting either in person or by proxy (the proxy holder is appointed at their own discretion). All the Company's shareholders who are registered in the shareholders' register kept and maintained with VPS as of the date of the general meeting and/or as per a record date as included in the notice for the general meeting, or who otherwise have reported and documented ownership of Shares in the Company as per the date of the general meeting and/or the record date, are entitled to participate at a general meeting.

Apart from the annual general meeting, extraordinary general meetings of shareholders may be held if the Board of Directors considers it necessary. An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders shall also be convened if, to discuss a specified matter, the auditor or shareholders representing at least 10% of the share capital demands such in writing. The requirements for notice and admission to the annual general meeting also apply to extraordinary general meetings.

Voting rights

Each Share carries one vote. In general, decisions shareholders are entitled to make under Norwegian law, or the articles of association may be made by a simple majority of the votes cast. In the case of elections or appointments (e.g., to the Board of Directors), the person(s) who receive(s) the greatest number of votes cast is elected. However, as required under Norwegian law, certain decisions, including resolutions to waive preferential rights to subscribe for shares in connection with any share issue in the Company, to approve a merger or demerger of the Company, to amend the articles of association, to authorize an increase or reduction of the share capital, to authorize an issuance of convertible loans or warrants by the Company or to authorize the Board of Directors to purchase Shares and hold them as treasury shares or to dissolve the Company, must receive the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast as well as at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the general meeting in question. Moreover, Norwegian law requires that certain decisions, i.e., decisions that have the effect of substantially altering the rights and preferences of any shares or class of shares, receive the approval by the holders of such shares or class of shares as well as the majority required for amending the articles of association.

Decisions that (i) would reduce the rights of some or all of the Company's shareholders in respect of dividend

payments or other rights to assets or (ii) restrict the transferability of the Shares, require that at least 90% of the share capital represented at the general meeting in question vote in favour of the resolution, as well as the majority required for amending the articles of association.

In general, only a shareholder registered in VPS is entitled to vote for such Shares. Beneficial owners of the Shares that are registered in the name of a nominee are generally not entitled to vote under Norwegian law, nor is any person who is designated in the VPS register as the holder of such shares as nominees.

There are no quorum requirements that apply to the general meetings.

Additional issuances and preferential rights

If the Company issues any new shares, the Company's Articles of Association must be amended, which requires the same vote as other amendments to the articles of association. In addition, under Norwegian law, the Company's shareholders have a preferential right to subscribe for new shares issued by the Company. The preferential rights may be deviated from by a resolution in the general meeting passed with the same vote required to amend the articles of association.

The general meeting may, by the same vote as is required for amending the articles of association, authorize the Board of Directors to issue new shares, and to deviate from the preferential rights of shareholders in connection with such issuances. Such authorisation may be effective for a maximum of two years, and the nominal value of the Shares to be issued may not exceed 50% of the registered par share capital when the authorisation is registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises.

Minority rights

Norwegian law sets forth several protections for minority shareholders of the Company, including, but not limited to, those described in this paragraph and the description of general meetings as set out above. Any of the Company's shareholders may petition Norwegian courts to have a decision of the Board of Directors or the Company's shareholders made at the general meeting declared invalid on the grounds that it unreasonably favours certain shareholders or third parties to the detriment of other shareholders or the Company itself. The Company's shareholders may also petition the courts to dissolve the Company because of such decisions to the extent particularly strong reasons are considered by the court to make necessary dissolution of the Company.

Minority shareholders holding 10% or more of the Company's share capital have a right to demand in writing that the Board of Directors convenes an extraordinary general meeting to discuss or resolve specific matters. In addition, any of the Company's shareholders may in writing demand that the Company place an item on the agenda for any general meeting if the Company is notified in time for such item to be included in the notice of the meeting. If the notice has been issued when such a written demand is presented, a renewed notice must be issued if the deadline for issuing notice of the general meeting has not expired.

Rights of redemption and repurchases of shares

The share capital of the Company may be reduced by reducing the nominal value of the Shares or by cancelling Shares. Other than as set out in the Articles of Association, such a decision requires the approval of at least twothirds of the aggregate number of votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at a general meeting. Other than as set out in the Articles of Association, redemption of individual Shares requires the consent of the holders of the Shares to be redeemed.

The Company may purchase its own Shares provided that the Board of Directors has been granted an authorization to do so by a general meeting with the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the meeting. The aggregate nominal value of treasury shares so acquired and held by the Company must not lead to the share capital with deduction of the aggregate nominal of the holding of own shares is less than the minimum allowed share capital of NOK 30,000, and treasury shares may only be acquired if the Company's distributable equity, according to the latest adopted balance sheet, exceeds the consideration to be paid for the shares. The authorisation by the general meeting of the Company's shareholders

cannot be granted for a period exceeding two years.

Shareholder vote on certain reorganizations

A decision of the Company's shareholders to merge with another company or to demerge requires a resolution by the general meeting passed by at least two-thirds of the aggregate votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the general meeting. A merger plan, or demerger plan signed by the Board of Directors along with certain other required documentation, would have to be sent to all the Company's shareholders, or if the articles of association stipulate that, made available to the shareholders on the Company's website, at least one month prior to the general meeting to pass upon the matter.

Distribution of assets on liquidation

Under Norwegian law, the Company may be wound-up by a resolution of the Company's shareholders at the general meeting passed by at least two-thirds of the aggregate votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the meeting. In the event of liquidation, the Shares rank equally in the event of a return on capital.

8 NORWEGIAN TAXATION

8.1 Introduction

Set out below is a summary of certain Norwegian tax matters related to an investment in the Company. The summary regarding Norwegian taxation is based on the laws in force in Norway as at the date of this Information Document, which may be subject to any changes in law occurring after such date. Such changes could possibly be made on a retrospective basis.

The following summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of the shares in the Company. Shareholders who wish to clarify their own tax situation should consult with and rely upon their own tax advisors. Shareholders resident in jurisdictions other than Norway and shareholders who cease to be resident in Norway for tax purposes (due to domestic tax law or tax treaty) should specifically consult with and rely upon their own tax advisors with respect to the tax position in their country of residence and the tax consequences related to ceasing to be resident in Norway for tax purposes.

Please note that for the purpose of the summary below, a reference to a Norwegian or non-Norwegian shareholder refers to the tax residency rather than the nationality of the shareholder.

8.2 Norwegian shareholders

Taxation of dividends

Norwegian corporate shareholders (i.e., limited liability companies and similar entities) ("Norwegian Corporate Shareholders") are comprised by the Norwegian participation exemption. Under the exemption, only 3% of dividend income on shares in Norwegian limited liability companies is subject to tax as ordinary income (22% flat rate as of 2021), implying that such dividends are effectively taxed at a rate of 0.66%.

Dividends distributed to Norwegian individual shareholders (i.e., other shareholders than Norwegian Corporate Shareholders) ("Norwegian Individual Shareholders") are grossed up with a factor of 1.44 before taxed as ordinary income (22% flat rate, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.68%) to the extent the dividend exceeds a tax-free allowance.

The tax-free allowance is calculated on a share-by-share basis on the basis of the cost price of each of the Shares multiplied by a risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the effective rate of interest on treasury bills (Nw.: statskasseveksler) with three months maturity plus 0.5 percentage points, after tax. The risk-free interest rate for a fiscal year is determined in January in the year following the tax assessment year (i.e., January 2022 for the fiscal year 2020). For the 2020 income year, the risk-free interest rate is calculated to 0.6 percent. The tax-free allowance is calculated for each calendar year and is allocated solely to Norwegian Individual Shareholders holding Shares at the expiration of the relevant calendar year. Norwegian Individual Shareholders who transfer Shares will thus not be entitled to deduct any calculated allowance related to the year of transfer. Any part of the calculated tax-free allowance one year exceeding the dividend distributed on the Share ("unused allowance") may be carried forward and set off against future dividends received on (or gains upon realisation of, see below) the same Share. Any unused allowance will also be added to the basis of computation of the tax-free allowance on the same Share the following year.

The Shares will not qualify for tax deferral according to rules regarding Norwegian share saving accounts (Nw.: aksjesparekonto) for Norwegian Individual Shareholders as the Shares are admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo (and not Oslo Børs/Euronext Expand).

Taxation of capital gains

Sale, redemption, or other disposal of Shares is considered as a realisation for Norwegian tax purposes.

Capital gains generated by Norwegian Corporate Shareholders through a realisation of shares in Norwegian limited liability companies, such as the Company, are comprised by the Norwegian participation exemption and therefore tax exempt. Net losses from realisation of Shares and costs incurred in connection with the purchase and realisation of such Shares are not tax deductible for Norwegian Corporate Shareholders.

Norwegian Individual Shareholders are taxable in Norway for capital gains derived from realisation of Shares, and have a corresponding right to deduct losses. This applies irrespective of how long the Shares have been owned by the individual shareholder and irrespective of how many Shares that are realized. Gains are taxable as ordinary income in the year of realisation and losses can be deducted from ordinary income in the year of realisation. Any gain or loss is grossed up with a factor of 1.44 before taxed at a rate of 22% (resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.68%). Gain or loss is calculated per Share, as the difference between the consideration received for the Share and the Norwegian Individual Shareholder's cost price for the Share, including costs incurred in connection with the acquisition or realisation of the Share. Any unused tax-free allowance connected to a Share may be deducted from a capital gain on the same Share but may not lead to or increase a deductible loss. Further, unused tax-free allowance related to a Share cannot be set off against gains from realisation of other Shares.

If a Norwegian shareholder realizes Shares acquired at different points in time, the Shares that were first acquired will be deemed as first sold (the "first in first out"-principle) upon calculating taxable gain or loss. Costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of Shares may be deducted in the year of sale.

A shareholder who ceases to be tax resident in Norway due to domestic law or tax treaty provisions may become subject to Norwegian exit taxation of capital gains related to shares in certain circumstances.

Net wealth tax

The value of shares is considered for net wealth tax purposes in Norway. The marginal net wealth tax rate is currently 0.85% of the value assessed. The value for assessment purposes for the Shares is (as of 2021) equal to 55% of the total tax value of the Company as of 1 January of the year before the tax assessment year (i.e., 1 January of the fiscal year). However, if the shareholder is a physical person and the Company was incorporated in the fiscal year or was the receiving company in a merger with a group company or was the receiving company in a reverse merger between a subsidiary and its parent company, the value for assessment purposes for the Shares is (as of 2021) equal to 55% of the total tax value of the Company as of 1 January of the tax assessment year. The value of debt allocated to the Shares (a proportional part of the shareholder's total debt) for Norwegian wealth tax purposes is reduced correspondingly (i.e., as of 2021 to 55%).

Norwegian limited liability companies and similar entities are exempted from net wealth tax.

8.3 Non-Norwegian shareholders

Taxation of dividends

Dividends paid from a Norwegian limited liability company to non-Norwegian shareholders ("Foreign

Shareholders") are subject to Norwegian withholding tax at a rate of 25% unless the recipient qualifies for a reduced rate according to an applicable tax treaty or other specific regulations. The shareholder's country of residence may give credit for the Norwegian withholding tax imposed on the dividend.

If a Foreign Shareholder is carrying on business activities operated in or managed from Norway and the Shares are effectively connected with such activities, the Foreign Shareholder will be subject to the same taxation of dividend as a Norwegian Shareholder, as described above.

Foreign Shareholders that are corporate shareholders (i.e., limited liability companies and similar entities) ("Foreign Corporate Shareholders") resident within the EEA is exempt from Norwegian withholding tax pursuant to the Norwegian participation exemption provided that the Foreign Corporate Shareholder is genuinely established and carries out genuine economic activities within the EEA.

Dividends paid to Foreign Shareholders that are individual shareholders (i.e., other shareholders than Foreign Corporate Shareholders) ("Foreign Individual Shareholders") are as the main rule subject to Norwegian withholding tax at a rate of 25%, unless a lower rate has been agreed in an applicable tax treaty. If the individual shareholder is resident within the EEA, the shareholder may apply to the tax authorities for a refund of an amount corresponding to the tax on calculated tax-free allowance on each individual share, see Section 8.2.1 ("Taxation of dividends"). However, the deduction for the tax-free allowance does not apply if the withholding tax rate, pursuant to an applicable tax treaty, leads to a lower taxation on the dividends than the withholding tax rate of 25% less the tax-free allowance.

In accordance with the present administrative system in Norway, a distributing company will generally deduct withholding tax at the applicable rate when dividends are paid directly to an eligible Foreign Shareholder, based on information registered with the VPS. Foreign Corporate and Individual Shareholders must document their entitlement to a reduced withholding tax rate by (i) obtaining a certificate of residence issued by the tax authorities in the shareholder's country of residence, confirming that the shareholder is resident in that state and (ii) providing a confirmation from the shareholder that the shareholder is the beneficial owner of the dividend. In addition, Foreign Corporate Shareholders must also present either (i) an approved withholding tax refund application or (ii) an approval from the Norwegian tax authorities confirming that the recipient is entitled to a reduced withholding tax rate or a withholding tax exemption. Such documentation must be provided to either the nominee or the account operator (VPS). Dividends paid to Foreign Shareholders in respect of nominee registered shares are not eligible for reduced treaty withholding tax rate at the time of payment unless the nominee, by agreeing to provide certain information regarding beneficial owner, has obtained approval for reduced treaty withholding tax rate from the Norwegian tax authorities. The withholding obligation lies with the company distributing the dividends and the Company assumes this obligation.

Foreign Individual Shareholders and Foreign Corporate Shareholders who have suffered a higher withholding tax than set out in an applicable tax treaty may apply to the Norwegian tax authorities for a refund of the excess withholding tax deducted. The same will apply to Foreign Corporate Shareholders that have suffered withholding tax although qualifying for the Norwegian participation exemption.

Foreign Shareholders should consult their own advisers regarding the availability of treaty benefits in respect of dividend payments.

Taxation of capital gains

Gains from realization of Shares by Foreign Shareholders will not be subject to tax in Norway unless the Foreign Shareholders are holding the Shares in connection with business activities carried out in or managed from Norway. Such taxation may be limited according to an applicable tax treaty or other specific regulations.

Net wealth tax

Foreign Shareholders are not subject to Norwegian net wealth tax with respect to the Shares, unless the shareholder is an individual, and the shareholding is effectively connected with a business which the shareholder takes part in or carries out in Norway. Such taxation may be limited according to an applicable tax treaty.

Transfer taxes etc. VAT

No transfer taxes, stamp duty or similar taxes are currently imposed in Norway on purchase, issuance, disposal, or redemption of shares. Further, there is no VAT on transfer of shares.

8.4 Inheritance tax

As at the date of this Information Document, Norway does not impose any inheritance tax. However, the heir continues the giver's tax positions, including the input values, based on principles of continuity.

8.5 Stamp duty / transfer tax

Norway does not impose any stamp duty or transfer tax on the transfer or issuance of Shares.

REPORT

FIRST QUARTERLY REPORT FOR

Aurora Eiendom

Aurora Eiendom AS was established during the first half of 2021. The company raised NOK 2 billion in new share capital in June 2021.

First a directed issue was carried out, in which 11 cornerstone investors subscribed for and were allocated shares for NOK 1,377 million. Eiendomsspar AS, Joh Johannson Eiendom AS, NREP (NSF IV Norway Holding 10 AS), Strawberry Shopping AS, Alti Invest AS, Varner Invest AS and Stokke Industri Eiendom AS were among the cornerstone investors. Afterwards, an additional private placement was made, raising gross proceeds of NOK 623 million.

The net proceeds from the directed issue and private placement were used to fund the company´s acquisition of five shopping centers from Steen & Strøm; Amanda Storsenter in Haugesund, Vinterbro Senter in Ås, Nerstranda in Tromsø, Nordbyen in Larvik and Farmandstredet in Tønsberg. The transactions were closed in beginning of July. This report is hence the first financial report for Aurora Eiendom AS after the acquisitions.

4 AURORA THIRD QUARTER 2021 AURORA THIRD QUARTER 2021 5 Aurora Eiendom entered as co-owner in Alti Forvaltning AS (50 %) to ensure long-term partnership with an industry-leading operator of shopping centres. The shopping centre portfolio is managed by Alti Forvaltning AS.

Aurora Eiendom´s shares are listed on Euronext NOTC Oslo with the ticker "AURORA". The company is planning to be listed on Euronext Growth Oslo towards the end of 2021.

Aurora Eiendom´s mission is to own, operate and develop leading shopping destinations, and create value for customers, tenants and investors. The company intends to own shopping centers that are leading or have the potential to become leading in their local markets.

LETTER FROM THE CEO Kick-off!

The first operational quarter for Norway's newest player in the shopping center market is completed. We started the quarter with the purchase of five shopping centers with a total rental area of 113,000 sqm.

Going heavily into retail property may seem contradictory because of the attention online shopping has received in recent years, but we strongly believe that shopping centers will have an important function in the Norwegian society going forward. Shopping centers still serve as one of our most important marketplaces for commerce while growing their position as destinations for other errands alongside retail as well as a place to spend leisure time and meet friends and family for various activities.

The timing of the transaction has proven to be excellent, with high activity and store turnover in the shopping center market on our way out of the pandemic.

In Q3 2021, the Aurora portfolio achieved 0.3% growth in total store turnover compared to the same period in 2020 and as much as 10.5% compared to the third quarter in 2019, a quarter which represents the latest ordinary market conditions before the Covid-19 pandemic.

LARS OVE LØSETH CEO Aurora Eiendom AS

Simultaneously to the acquisitions the company entered into a long-term agreement with Alti Forvaltning AS, for the management of Aurora and its properties. As a part of the agreement Aurora acquired 50% of the management company, and Alti currently manages a total of 31 centers including the Aurora portfolio.

Alti has worked to strengthen their organization due to the increased volume of centers under management. Several new key employees are hired, and some have already begun. We are fortunate that the skilled and motivated employees at the acquired shopping centers – such as center managers, marketing, and technical managers – all have accepted employment with Alti Forvaltning. Their continued presence and involvement give a solid base for further development of these already strongly positioned shopping destinations. This ensures continuity, local knowledge and competence, which is essential to our success.

Since the takeover in July, our resources have worked diligently to become familiar with the newly acquired properties, and the work is already starting to show results.

Each shopping center has been assigned a leasing manager from the management company, and the work is well underway. In the third quarter, 14 leases were extended on a total lease area of 5,662 sqm, which corresponds to 5% of the property portfolio. At the same time new leases with a total of 1.086 sqm started, and leases with a total of 742 sqm expired. This corresponds to a reduction in vacancy of 0,3 percentage points.

Our ambition is to grow our portfolio, and we are constantly seeking new investment opportunities.

We are finally up and running, and now we look forward to the continuation of creating a new major player in the Norwegian shopping center market.

General information and summary of significant accounting policies

Aurora Eiendom AS was incorporated on January 1st 2021. These financial statements are the first financial statements prepared by the Group. These financial statements are prepared for the purpose of complying with the requirement to present audited financial information as part of planned listing on Euronext Growth on Oslo Børs.

Aurora Eiendom AS is a private limited company, incorporated in Norway, headquartered in Surnadal and listed on the Norwegian OTC-list, Address headquarter: Øravegen 2, 6650 Surnadal. The consolidated financial statements of Aurora Eiendom AS for the third quarter 2021 were approved in the board meeting at November 15th, 2021. and are mandatory for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2021. The consolidated financial statements are based on historical cost, with the exception of the following: • Investment properties which are measured at fair value.

These financial statements include the parent company from incorporation and subsidiaries from the date of acquisition. Until the acquisitions of the subsidiaries the activities in the Group was limited. To illustrate this both YTD and Q3 figures have been included in notes regarding items in the profit or loss statement.

Aurora Eiendom intends to own shopping centres that are leading or have the potential to become leading in their local markets.

Basis for preparation of the Q3 2021 accounts

The Aurora Eiendom AS's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) which have been adopted by the EU

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of uniform accounting principles for similar transactions and events under otherwise similar circumstances.

Currency

The Group's presentation currency is NOK. This is also the functional currency of the parent company and all the subsidiaries.

Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Group entities at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate on that date. Foreign exchange translation differences are recognized as part of financial items in profit or loss.

Segments

For management reporting purposes, the Group is organised as one business unit with one reportable segment. The Groups CEO is identified as the chief operating decision maker.

The properties that are the basis for the revenue in the Group is geographically located in Norway. Hence, all revenue is allocated to Norway and all non-current assets of the group are located in Norway.

No individual customers account for more than 10 % of the Group's revenue.

Consolidation principles

The Group's consolidated financial statements comprise the parent company and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2021. An entity has been assessed as being controlled by the Group when the Group is exposed for or have the rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to use its power over the entity to affect the amount of the Group's returns.

Thus, the Group controls an entity if and only if the Group has all the following:

  • power over the entity;
  • exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity; and
  • the ability to use its power over the entity to affect the amount of the Group's returns.

There is a presumption that if the Group has the majority of the voting rights in an entity, the entity is considered as a subsidiary. To support this presumption the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an entity, including ownership interests, voting rights, ownership structure and relative power, as well as options controlled by the Group and shareholder's agreement or other contractual agreements.

The assessments are done for each individual investment.

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an entity if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Investment in associates

The Group has investment in one associate – Alti Forvaltning AS. Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence, but not control over the financial and operating management.

Associates are accounted for using the equity method from the date when significant influence is achieved until such influence ceases.

Investments in an associate are initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group's share of net assets of the associate since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment individually.

The statement of profit or loss reflects the Group's share of the results of operations of the associate. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group's OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.

Income tax

The tax expense consists of the tax payable and changes to deferred tax. Deferred tax/tax assets are calculated on all differences between the book value and tax value of assets and liabilities, with the exception of:

  • temporary differences that arise from the initial recognition of goodwill
  • temporary differences that arise from the initial

recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and which do not affect the accounting or taxable profit at the time of the transaction.

• temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures when the Group controls when the temporary differences are to be reversed and this is not expected to take place in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that the company will have a sufficient profit for tax purposes in subsequent periods to utilise the tax asset. The companies recognise previously unrecognised deferred tax assets to the extent it has become probable that the company can utilise the deferred tax asset. Similarly, the company will reduce a deferred tax asset to the extent that the company no longer regards it as probable that it can utilise the deferred tax asset.

Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are measured on the basis of the expected future tax rates applicable to the companies in the Group where temporary differences have arisen.

Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are recognised at their nominal value and classified as non-current asset investments (long-term liabilities) in the balance sheet.

Taxes payable and deferred taxes are recognised directly in equity to the extent that they relate to equity transactions.

Pursuant to the exception in IAS 12, deferred tax is not recognised when buying a company which is not a business. A provision for deferred tax is made after subsequent increases in the value beyond initial cost, while a fall in value below initial cost will only reverse previous provisions for deferred tax. Furthermore, an increase in temporary differences related to tax depreciation will give grounds for a recognition of deferred tax.

Tangible assets

Leases

Identifying a lease

At the inception of a contract, The Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Group as a lessee

Recognition of leases and exemptions

At the lease commencement date, the Group recognises a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset for all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for the following exemptions applied:

• Short-term leases (defined as 12 months or less)

• Low value assets

Tangible assets, with the exception of investment property, are valued at their cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. When assets are sold or disposed of, the carrying amount is derecognised and any gain or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Right-of-use assets

For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as other operating expenses in the statement of profit or loss when they incur.

Lease liabilities

The lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of the lease. The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease term represents the noncancellable period of the lease, together with periods covered by an option either to extend or to terminate the lease when the Group is reasonably certain to exercise this option.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications, or to reflect adjustments in lease payments due to an adjustment in an index or rate.

The main assets leased by the Group are building plots covered by long term leasehold contracts. The leased properties meet the definition of investment properties, and the fair value model is applied to the right-of-use asset. The right-of-use

assets are presented as part of investment properties in the statement of financial position. The Group measures other right-of use assets at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The Group as a lessor / Revenue recognition

Recognition of leases and income

For contracts where the Group acts as a lessor, it classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset.

The group as a lessor does not have any finance leases.

Operating leases

The Group enters into lease agreements as a lessor with respect to its investment properties. Lease contracts where a significant proportion of the risks and benefits of ownership remain with Aurora Eiendom´s subsidiaries are classified as operating leases. Revenue recognition under a lease commences at the inception of the lease.

Aurora Eiendom`s lease agreements typically contain a minimum rent and a turnover-based rent. The minimum rent is recognized as revenue on a straight line basis over the lease term. Additional revenue from the turnover-linked rent is recognized based on an estimate over the period of which the turnover-linked rent is calculated.

Costs for shared services provided to the tenants by external parties do not affect the result. Shared costs are charged to tenants and recognised in the balance sheet together with payments on account of tenants. Shared costs are settled after the balance sheet date.

The Group adds initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognises those costs as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the rental income.

Investment property

Property held with the purpose of achieving rental income, increase in value, or both are classified as investment property.

Measurement at recognition

Investment property is initially recognized at cost including transaction costs. Transaction costs includes legal fees and due diligence costs. Investment property is normally acquired through the purchase of shares in a company that owns the property. When shares are acquired there is no change in the tax base of the property, resulting in lower tax deductions for depreciations for the acquirer. The purchase price in these transactions normally includes a discount for the reduced future tax deductions. The effect of this is that the property acquired will initially be recorded at a cost lower than the fair value.

Measurement after recognition

After initial recognition investment property is measured at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses from changes in fair value are presented in profit and loss when they arise, under the line item "Changes in fair value of investment property". Subsequent capital expenditure relating to investment property is included in the carrying amount of the investment property. The cost of day-to-day servicing of investment property is expensed when incurred. Tax discount and transaction costs relating to the acquisition of an investment property (single purpose entities) are recognized in profit or loss as part of the changes in fair value of investment property in the period after the acquisition.

Derecognition

Investment properties are derecognized when sold or permanently out of operation and no future economic benefit is expected. All gains or losses related to sales or disposals are presented in the income statement in the same year as the disposal. Gains or losses from the disposal of investment property is the difference between net selling price and the carrying amount of the asset. Gains or losses are included in the line item "Changes in fair value of investment property".

Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets

The Group´s financial assets are trade receivables and cash. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group's business model for managing them.

Financial liabilities

The Group´s financial liabilities are loans and borrowings or payables.

Loans, borrowings and payables

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

Payables are measured at their nominal amount when the effect of discounting is not material.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies
a simplified approach to measure the expected loss on these
assets.
The Group considers trade receivable to be in default when
internal or external information indicates that the Group is
unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in
full before taking into account any credit enhancements held
by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no
reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash
flows.
The consideration of impairment of trade receivables is done

Notes

NOTE 1 – ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies in according to IFRS, management has made several judgements and estimates. All estimates are assessed to the most probable outcome based on the management´s best knowledge. Changes in key assumptions may have significant effect and may cause material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, equity and the profit for the year.

The company's most important accounting estimates are linked to fair value of investment properties.

Fair value of investment properties

Fair value of Aurora Eiendom´s investment properties have been assessed by an independent, external valuer, Cushman & Wakefield Realkapital AS. A number of different assumtions must be made when calculating fair value of the investment properties. Each property is valued individually, and many aspects are considered, such as: development in rental income, ownership costs, vacancy levels, market position, and need for alterations and upgrades.

Assumptions are made on development of economic parameters, such as CPI, yields and inflation.

The table below shows the sensitivity on the value of key drivers for fair value, yield and market rent.

NOTE 14 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Aurora Eiendom´s activities imply exposure to a variety of financial risks. The Group is exposed to interest rate risk, credit risk and iquidity risk.

Interest rate risk

The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's long-term debt obligations with floating rates.

See note 21 "Long-term debt" for information about debt structure. Per 30.09.21 all interest-bearing debt had floating rates. To adjust the exposure to the change in interest rates for the interest-bearing debt, the Group entered into interest rate swap agreements during Q4 with a notional amount of NOK 887 millions, whereby it receives a variable rate equal to three-month NIBOR and pays a fixed rate of interest on the notional amount. All interest rate swaps are designated as hedging instruments, and the Group will not apply hedge accounting to interest rate swaps.

Below is a specification of these interest rate swap agreements.

Credit risk / counterparty risk

The main credit risk relates to lease payments according to contractual obligations. Aurora Eiendom AS has a large number of tenants, and the standard rent payment regime is quarterly in advance. Trade receivables was NOK 862 428,- per Q3, and expected losses NOK 606.713,-.

The standard provided security for contractual obligations from tenants is a bank guarantee that sums equivalent to 6 months rent including VAT. However, security for each lease agreement is rated based on the lease agreements total value, associated investments and the tenants´ creditworthiness.

Overall, the concentration of credit risk relating to lease payments is assessed to be low.

The floating interest rate is three-month NIBOR for all contracts. An increase in interest rates by 1% will increase financial expenses with NOK 26,6 million per year.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to fulfill its financial obligation as they fall due. The Groups approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group´s reputation. Management uses cash flow simulations to monitor financing required for its business and ensure that commitments are met.

Bank deposits at 30 September 2021 amounted to 292 MNOK. The Group has an overdraft facility of 30 MNOK. Debt repayments (instalments) for the coming rolling 12 months period are covered by operating cash flow.

There is also financing risk, which is the risk that the Group will be unable to meet its financial obligations when they are due and that financing will not be available at a reasonable price. The Group will seek to limit this risk by having a diversified maturity structure for the Group´s financing going forward. The Group also wishes to maintain good credit rating with finance institutions and generete a healthy cash flow in order to be an attractive borrower.

For maturity structure of long-term debt, see note 21.

Financial covenants

There are covenants the Group´s bank loan agreements relating to the following parameters: loan to value (LTV), interest cover ratio and minimum liquidity.

The Group was not in breach of any covenants per Q3 2021, they are met with good margin, and mangement asseses that the risk of breaching these requirements is considered low the next 12 months.

The table below illustrates the maturity structure of long-term debt. The table shows nominal cash flows.

Independent Auditor's Report

To Aurora Eiendom AS

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Aurora Eiendom AS for the third quarter of 2021.

The consolidated financial statements comprise:

  • Balance sheet as of September 30, 2021
  • Income statement and extended income statement for the quarter then ended
  • Statement of changes in equity for the quarter then ended
  • Cash flow statement for the quarter then ended
  • Notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion:

• The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the

law and regulations.

• The accompanying consolidated

financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the group Aurora Eiendom AS as at 30 September 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with laws, regulations, and auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group as required by laws regulations and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including international independence standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA rules), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Letter from the CEO and other information in the Q3 Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements of the group does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Independent Auditor's Report Aurora Eiendom AS – Q3 - 2021 side 2 av 2

som består av uavhengige selskaper i de enkelte land. Foretaksregisteret: NO 993 606 650 MVA.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of the group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements of the group, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
