Self Storage Group ASA - Contemplated private placement

Self Storage Group ASA - Contemplated private placement

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART DIRECTLY OR

INDIRECTLY, IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, HONG KONG OR THE UNITED STATES OR ANY

OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE

UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE

SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

(Oslo, 24 August 2021) Self Storage Group ASA ("SSG" or the "Company") has

retained ABG Sundal Collier ASA and Arctic Securities AS as Joint Bookrunners

(together the "Managers") to advise on and effect a private placement of new

ordinary shares (the "New Shares") with gross proceeds of up to approximately

NOK 300 million (the "Private Placement").

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to continue to grow the

Company's freehold self-storage footprint in its existing target markets.

The Company's largest shareholder, Centerbridge Partners, currently owning

24.83% of the Company, is fully supportive of the Private Placement and has pre

-subscribed for NOK 125 million. Furthermore, the Company has received

indications of demand exceeding the size of the Private Placement from a

wallcrossing exercise conducted today.

The Private Placement will be directed towards Norwegian and international

investors, subject to applicable exemptions from relevant registration, filing

and prospectus requirements, and subject to other applicable selling

restrictions. The minimum application and allocation amount has been set to the

NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000. The Company may however, at its sole discretion,

allocate amounts below EUR 100,000 to the extent exemptions from the prospectus

requirements in accordance with applicable regulations, including the Norwegian

Securities Trading Act and the prospectus regulation 2017/119 and ancillary

regulations, are available.

The offer price in the Private Placement will be determined by the board of

directors of the Company (the "Board") following an accelerated bookbuilding

process. The bookbuilding and application period for the Private Placement

commences today, 24 August 2021 at 16:30 CEST, and is expected to close on 25

August 2021 at 08:00 CEST. The Company, after consultation with the Managers,

reserves the right to at any time and in its sole discretion close or extend the

application period. If the bookbuilding is shortened or extended, the other

dates referred to herein may be changed correspondingly.

Allocation of the shares in the Private Placement will be determined after the

expiry of the bookbuilding period, and the final allocation will be made by the

Board at its sole discretion, following advice from the Managers. Delivery

versus payment settlement of the New Shares will be facilitated by existing and

unencumbered shares in the Company being borrowed by Arctic Securities AS (on

behalf of the Managers) from certain existing shareholders pursuant to a share

lending agreement between such parties and the Company. The shares will thus be

tradable from allocation. The Managers will settle the share loan with new

shares in the Company to be issued by a resolution of the Board pursuant to an

authorisation granted by the annual general meeting held on 26 May 2021.

Completion of the Private Placement by delivery of New Shares to investors is

subject to the corporate resolutions of the Company required to implement the

Private Placement, including a resolution of the Board to proceed with the

Private Placement following the expiry of the bookbuilding period and to

increase the share capital of the Company by the issuance of the New Shares.

The Company has considered the Private Placement in light of the equal treatment

obligations under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Oslo Børs' Circular

no. 2/2014 and is of the opinion that the waiver of the preferential rights

inherent in a private placement, taking into consideration the time, costs and

risk of alternative methods of the securing the desired funding, as well as the

limited dilution effects of the transaction, is in the common interest of the

shareholders of the Company.

Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS is acting as Norwegian legal counsel to the Company.
