Base Prospectus

Kongsberg Gruppen ASA

Kongsberg, 09th of July 2021

Important information*

The Base Prospectus is based on sources such as annual reports and publicly available information and forward-looking information based on current expectations, estimates and projections about global economic conditions, the economic conditions of the regions and industries that are major markets for the Company's (including subsidiaries and affiliates) lines of business.

A prospective investor should consider carefully the factors set forth in section 1 Risk factors, and elsewhere in the Prospectus, and should consult his or her own expert advisers as to the suitability of an investment in the bonds.

IMPORTANT – EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any notes includes a legend titled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended or superseded, the "Insurance Mediation Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPS Regulation. MiFID II product governance / target market – The Final Terms in respect of any notes will include a legend titled "MiFID II product governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the notes and which channels for distribution of the notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Copies of this Base Prospectus are not being mailed or otherwise distributed or sent in or into or made available in the United States. Persons receiving this document (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not distribute or send such documents or any related documents in or into the United States. Other than in compliance with applicable United States securities laws, no solicitations are being made or will be made, directly or indirectly, in the United States. Securities will not be registered under the United States Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Furthermore, the Company has not registered the Bonds under any other country's securities laws other than Norway. It is each Bondholder's obligation to ensure that the offers and sales of its Bonds comply with applicable securities laws and regulations.

The distribution of the Base Prospectus may be limited by law also in other jurisdictions, for example in Canada, Japan and in the United Kingdom. Verification and approval of the Base Prospectus by the Norwegian FSA ("Finanstilsynet") implies that the Registration Document may be used in any EEA country. No other measures have been taken to obtain authorisation to distribute the Base Prospectus in any jurisdiction where such action is required.

The Base Prospectus has been approved by the Norwegian FSA, as competent authority under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. The Base Prospectus was approved on 09th of July 2021. The Base Prospectus is valid for 12 months from the approval date.

1. Risk factors

Investing in bonds issued by Kongsberg Gruppen ASA involves inherent risk. The risks and uncertainties described in the Base Prospectus are risks of which the Company is aware and that the Company considers to be material to its business. If any of these risks were to occur, the Company's business, financial position, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected, and the Company could be unable to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with the bonds. Before making an investment decision, investors should carefully consider the risk factors and all information contained in this Prospectus, including the Financial Information and related notes. An investment in bonds issued by the Company is suitable only for investors who understand the risks associated with this type of investment and who can afford to lose all or part of their investment.

	Risk factor	Description
1a		Risks related to the various markets in which KONGSBERG operates
I	Lower demand products and services within maritime	The maritime sector is generally exposed to market and transition risk, especially related to oil and gas business. The uncertainty surrounding future developments in oil prices affects investment levels in several segments KONGSBERG operate in, which consequently may decrease demand for KONGSBERG's products and services. Continuous low ship building across maritime segments may also have a direct impact on demand for
		KONGSBERG's products and services. Decrease in demand and greater competition in the maritime sector, may have an adverse effect on the Group's sale, profits and order intake.
II	Export and trading restrictions	Export control regulations and sanctions may result in uncertainty relating to market opportunities. KONGBSERG in 2020 saw that there was an increased attention on the restriction of exports of technology products through export control regulations, and combined with the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China, the risk linked to restrictions on market access and sanctions is somewhat higher than before. If further restrictions are set, it will have a significant impact on KONGSBERG's ability to deliver its products, and access markets.
III	Lower defence spending	If countries choose to limit their defence spending, it may impact KONGSBERG's ability to secure new contracts within defence which may consequently affect the Group's business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
IV	The Covid-19 outbreak	The COVID-19 outbreak has created lower activity among customers and suppliers, travel restrictions and an increased risk of delays for KONGSBERGs projects. If temporary closures of countries and a lack of inputs continue, it may have an adverse effect on the Group's sales, profits and order intake.
V	Cyclical fluctuations	Both economic change in general and market specific economic change influence the industries and markets

1.1 Risk factors related to the Company

		in which KONGSBERG operates. These include defence
		spending by sovereign states and maritime investments
		within oil/gas, fisheries, wind offshore and contracting
		of new vessels, which all typically includes equipment
		and services provided by KONGSBERG. The market
		specific change is especially evident in the maritime
		sector where downturns has a direct impact on
		KONGSBERG's performance and growth as a supplier of
		maritime solutions. The decrease in demand for
		offshore oil and gas, and seaborne trades will materially
		affect KONGSBERGs business, result of operations, cash
		flow, financial condition and/or prospect.
VI	Increased competition	Increased competition in the markets which
		KONGSBERG operates, may lead to reduced profitability
		and/or expansion opportunities, including its market
		shares and competitive position. Lower shipbuilding
		activity has led to increased competition. More
		challenging oil and gas fields, increased sustainability
		requirements and significant focus on costs in the
		industry in general create new opportunities in the
		market, which in turn creates the need for new
		technological solutions. This will affect the Group's
		business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial
		condition.
		Consolidations among companies operating in the same
		markets as KONGSBERG, especially within maritime,
		increases the threat of being marginalized. If
		KONGSBERG is unable to follow the shift in technology
		within their markets, it may eventually marginalise and
		reduce KONGSBERG's competitive position. This will
		affect the Group's business, results of operations, cash
		flow, and financial condition.
1b	Risks related to KONGSBERG's business
I	Future business performance	KONGSBERG's revenues are derived from contractual
		arrangements and its business areas use various
		contractual formats. KONGSBERG delivers a large
		variety of products and services both in respect to size,
		contract period and complexity, and to different
		segments. Agreed contract terms might imply risk of
		losses upon cancellation of contracts, or consequential
		damages for any dysfunctionality of the product or
		services. Contract losses could also materialise as a
		result of cost overrun of fixed price contracts. Some of
		KONGSBERG's contracts are long term frame
		agreement that contain no or limited minimum
		purchase obligations, and there are no assurances that
		any revenue will be derived from such contracts.
		During periods of challenging market conditions, such
		as in the event of COVID-19, KONGSBERG may be

		subject to an increased risk of its customers seeking to repudiate or delay commencement of their contracts or cancel their contracts with the Company.
		If these risks materialise, it would have an adverse effect on KONGSBERG's business and reduce their backlog, cash flow and profitability.
II	Ability to develop and innovate	As a technology company it is important that KONGSBERG keeps developing and innovating its existing and future product and service portfolio to maintain and improve its market positions. Lack of innovation and development may decrease KONGSBERG's capability to acquire markets, specifically within markets with high digitalisation. If KONGSBERG does not invest sufficiently to innovate and develop its current and future products and services, addresses the needs of the customers, and anticipates and responds to major changes in technology and industry standards within a timely manner, it may see KONGSBERG struggle to maintain its market positions.
		If KONGSBERG is not successful in acquiring new equipment or upgrading its existing systems and solutions, or the technical skill set of its employees, on a timely and cost-effective basis in response to technological developments or changes in industry standards, it could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects.
III	Corruption	KONGSBERG operates in both the defence industry and the oil and gas industry, which, according to Transparency International, are two of the sectors most susceptible to corruption. The use of third parties, such as market representatives, is generally known to imply risk of corruption. As a result, KONGSBERG pays particular attention to that aspect in its Anti-Corruption Programme. Before KONGSBERG enters into an agreement with a business partner (customer, supplier, market
		representative, joint venture partner, other collaboration partner, recipient of sponsorship or charitable contributions), KONGSBERG must be certain that the business partner has satisfactory ethical standards in place. KONGSBERG uses a risk-based approach, which includes Compliance Due Diligence investigations. If by any means the Anti-Corruption Programme and other measures fail to prevent corruption in KONGSBERG or through its business partners, it may

		have an adverse effect on KONGSBERG's reputation,
		liabilities and financial condition.
IV	International operations	KONGSBERG's global operational presence means that
		the Company is subject to various risks and
		uncertainties relating to its international operations.
		Risks include potential political and economic
		uncertainty, impact of exchange rate fluctuations, price
		controls, corruption, nationalisation, expropriation,
		regulatory changes, trade protection measures and
		barriers, export duties and quotas, governmental
		restrictions and devaluations, punitive or unpredictable
		taxation, restriction on the ability to repatriate
		dividends from subsidiaries, and changes in law and
		governmental policy.
		Financial risks of operating in emerging markets also
		include risks related to inflation, devaluation, price
		volatility, currency convertibility and country default.
		Negative consequences in the event of these risks
		occurring may limit KONGSBERG's ability to transact
		business in current or future markets.
V	IT and cyber security	KONGSBERG relies on IT systems to achieve its business
		objectives. KONGSBERG is constantly exposed to
		external threats associated with data security due to
		the nature of the being a high-tech company, as well as
		the industries we operate in. There is a risk of virus
		attacks, hacking attempts, social manipulation and
		phishing scams, as well as theft of intellectual property
		or sensitive information belonging to KONGSBERG, its
		business partners and customers.
		KONGSBERG provides hardware and software products,
		solutions and services that involve IT systems.
		KONGSBERG has a Cyber Security Centre to ensure that
		both KONGSBERG and its business partners are
		protected. Failure or disruption of KONGSBERG's cyber
		security measures and systems to perform as
		anticipated for any reason could disrupt KONGSBERG's
		business and result in decreased performance,
		significant remediation costs, transaction errors, loss of data, loss of sensitive information, processing
		inefficiencies, downtime, litigation, and the loss of
		suppliers or customers.
VI	Failures, undetected errors or	KONGSBERG's engagements involve projects and
	defects	services that are critical to the customer's operations.
		Any failure in an infrastructure component or
		application that is designed, built, supported, operated,
		or previously supported and operated, could result in
		claim for substantial damages against KONGSBERG
		and/or significant reputational harm. The Group

		attempts to contractually limit its liability for damages arising from negligent acts, errors, mistakes or omission rendering its services and solutions. However, there are no assurances that such damages are subject to a contractual limitation on liability. If errors and defects are detected on KONGSBERG's products, systems and solutions, it could result in a delay of market acceptance of the relevant products, systems or solutions, adverse client reactions, negative publicity and damage the Group's reputation. It would also reduce KONGSBERG's operating revenue, increase
		service and warranty costs, and affect KONGSBERG's financial position.
VII	Failure to complete parts of projects	KONGSBERG depends on several suppliers and sub contractors for the supply of consumables, spare parts and equipment to operate, maintain, repair, upgrade and deliver its products, systems and services. Certain parts and equipment that KONGSBERG uses as part of its operation and deliveries may only be available from a small number of suppliers, manufacturers, sub contractors or service providers. Disruptions from such third parties can possibly involve capacity constraints, production disruption, price increases, quality control issues, recalls and decreased availability of part and equipment.
		In the event that any of these disruptions occur, it may have a significant effect on KONGSBERG's ability to meet its commitments to customers which again may impact KONGSBERG's operations negatively, increase costs and cut revenues.
VIII	Loss of key personnel	KONGSBERG depend on its retention of key personnel and its ability to recruit, retain and develop skilled personnel for its business. The demand for personnel with the capabilities and experience required in the technology industry is high, and success in attracting and retaining such employees is not guaranteed. Shortages of qualified personnel or KONGSBERG's inability to obtain and retain qualified personnel may have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to perform and deliver products and service to customers.
		KONGSBERG's operations depend on the availability, retention and relative cost of labour, and maintaining good relations with employees and labour unions. Labour interruptions such as strikes or other labour disputes, may have material adverse effect on the operations.

IX	Risks in joint ventures	KONGSBERG conducts a portion of its operations
		through joint ventures, where control may be shared
		with unaffiliated third parties. These joint ventures are
		described further in section 6, Business Overview, of
		the Base Prospectus. As with any joint venture
		arrangement, differences in views among the
		shareholders may result in delayed decisions or in
		failures to agree on major items. KONGSBERGs
		obligations in respect of, and its ability to receive any
		dividends from, its joint ventures depends on the terms
		and conditions of its shareholders' agreements and its
		relationships with the joint venture partners.
		KONGSBERG also cannot control the actions of its joint
		venture partners, including any non-performance,
		default or bankruptcy of such partners.
		If KONGSBERGs partners do not meet their contractual obligations, the joint venture may be unable to
		adequately perform and deliver its contracted services,
		requiring KONGSBERG to make additional investments
		or perform additional services to ensure the adequate
		performance and delivery of services. KONGSBERG may
		be liable for both its own obligations and those of its
		partners, which may result in reduced profits or, in
		some cases, significant losses on the project.
		Additionally, these factors could have a material
		adverse effect on the business operations of the joint
		venture and, in turn, KONGSBERG's business
		operations, reputation, results of operations, cash
		flows, financial condition and/or prospects.
		The joint ventures that KONGSBERG does not control
		may make business, financial or investment decisions
		contrary to KONGSBERGs interests, strategy or
		decisions, different from those, which KONGSBERG
		itself may have made. This may expose KONGSBERG to
		additional operational, financial, legal or compliance
		risks.
1c	Risk related to the industry
I	Political influence and governmental regulations	KONGSBERG through its majority shareholder, the Norwegian state through the Ministry of Trade, Industry
		and Fisheries, regulates KONGSBERG's involvement
		with foreign governments and defence contracts.
		Norway's alliance with other countries will have a direct
		impact as to which nations and governments
		KONGSBERG can sign a contractual agreement to
		deliver products and solutions. Due to governmental
		process and scrutiny of defence contracts, KONGSBERG
		may risk not be awarded certain defence contracts

		which may have an adverse effect on the Company's
		business.
II	Environmental regulations	Within the maritime industry, KONGSBERG's customers are subject to environmental regulations pursuant to a variety of international conventions and state and municipal laws and regulations. Changes in climate policy could result in changes to constraints, such as more stringent legislation or an increase in carbon pricing with the aim of reducing emissions. This can give negative effects, particularly in oil & gas sector, and for specific segments as cruise ships. With stricter standards and enforcements within environmental legislation, KONGSBERG may risk an increase in the cost of operating its units or otherwise materially adversely affect its business, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
III	Media coverage	A part of KONGSBERG's business involves military
		defence, which may be subject to scrutiny from the public and media. If there is negative media coverage of the defence industry and it is sustained, it may damage KONGSBERG reputation.
1d	Risk related to financing
I	Fluctuations in foreign	The Group has a high proportion of its revenues from
	exchange rates	contracts in currencies other than NOK, with a relatively low proportion of procurement in the same currency. The individual business areas identify exposure for each contract, whilst the centralised treasury department offers financial instruments that reduces currency risk. The Group's financial policy states that contracts above a certain threshold shall be currency hedged upon establishment, and these are primarily hedged using currency forward exchange contracts towards the entity's functional currency. The Group will normally have some open currency exposure related to smaller contracts, as well as other revenues and costs in foreign
		currency. This exposure is reduced as far as possible through frequent spot transactions and by keeping the exposure period short. Cash holdings in currency considered to be part of the businesses' working capital are normally not hedged.
		KONGSBERG has its highest exposure towards US dollars and euros, but also some exposures towards other currencies. Future cash flows from entities outside of Norway to its shareholders, with functional currency other than NOK (net investment hedging) are normally not hedged.
		The NOK value of future income and expenses in foreign currencies are impacted by both current

		exchange rates, the differences in interest rates as well as time discrepancies that may occur due to timing between the actual income and expense and its corresponding hedge instrument. Hedges may from time to time be extended or contracted to match the maturity date of the hedge instrument with the timing of the cash flow of the
		underlying hedge object. Such extension of contraction is typically executed by means of FX swaps, and may result in significant cash inflows or outflows that KONGSBERG may have insufficient liquidity to handle.
		KONGSBERG hedges major parts of its FX exposure, however the remaining exposure may have materially adverse effect on KONGSBERG's business and financial condition.
II	Additional capital needs	To the extent KONGSBERG does not generate sufficient cash from operations, it may need to raise additional funds through debt or equity to execute KONGSBERG's strategy and to fund capital expenditures. Adequate sources of capital may not be available when needed or may not be available on favourable terms. KONGSBERGs ability to obtain such additional capital or financing will depend upon prevailing market conditions as well as the condition of the business and its operating results.
		If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, KONGSBERG may be unable to fund maintenance requirements and acquisitions, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could adversely impact KONGSBERG's business, result of operation, cash flow, financial condition and/or prospects.
III	Constraints from debt arrangements	As of 2020, the book value of KONGSBERGs current and non-current borrowings was NOK 3,471 million. The current indebtedness and future indebtedness of KONGSBERG could affect its operations, as a portion of KONGSBERG's cash flow from operations will be dedicated to the payment of interest and principal on such debt.
		KONGSBERG's loan agreements include financial covenants. These covenants may limit KONGSBERG's flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in its business and limit its ability to dispose assets or use the proceeds from such disposals, withstand current or future economic and industry downturns, or compete for strategic opportunities.

IV	Adoption of EU Taxonomy	The introduction of EU Taxonomy has created an increased focus from regulations and financial markets on companies' contribution to reduce emissions, including its governance performance. If KONGSBERG is not able to abide by the EU Taxonomy framework and its requirement of financial reporting in respect to sustainability, or if KONGSBERG does not see any adjustments and more transitional arrangements included in the framework today, it may have an effect on how KONGSBERG rates as compared to other
		companies. A poor rating may consequently cause adversity from possible investors from investing in the Company's securities.
V	Compliance of restrictions and financial covenants of indebtedness	If KONGSBERG is unable to comply with restrictions and the financial covenants in agreements governing its indebtedness there could be a default under the terms of these agreements, which could result in an acceleration of repayment of borrowed funds. KONGSBERG's ability to comply with such restrictions and covenants, including meeting financial ratios and measures, is dependent on its future performance.
		If a default occurs under these agreements, lenders could terminate their commitments to lend or accelerate the outstanding loans and declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. Borrowings under debt arrangements that contain cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions may also be accelerated and become due and payable. In addition, KONGSBERG's financing agreements include change of control provisions which if triggered could result in KONGSBERG having to immediately prepay all amounts, including interest accrued, under the relevant facility. If any of these events occur, KONGSBERG cannot guarantee that its assets will be sufficient to repay in full all of its outstanding indebtedness, and the Company may be unable to find alternative financing at acceptable terms.
		The occurrence of such events may have material adverse effect on KONGSBERGs business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects.
VI	Ability to repatriate cash from subsidiaries	The cash that KONGSBERG receives from its subsidiaries is the principal source of funds necessary to meet its obligations. Contractual provisions or laws, including laws or regulations related to the repatriation of foreign earnings, as well as KONGSBERG's subsidiaries' financial condition and, operating requirements, potential restrictive covenants in future debt arrangements and debt requirements, may limit KONGSBERG's ability to

		obtain cash from subsidiaries or joint ventures that is required to pay its expenses or meet its current or future debt service obligations, or to pay dividends to its shareholders. While KONGSBERG as or the date of the Base
		Prospectus was subject to any restrictions materially limiting its ability to transfer cash from its subsidiaries or joint ventures, KONGSBERG may become subject to such restrictions in the future. If such restrictions occur, KONGSBERG may not be able to make necessary transfers from its subsidiaries in order to provide funds for the payment of its obligations, for which
		KONGSBERG is or may become responsible under the terms of the governing agreements of KONGSBERG's indebtedness. A payment default by KONGSBERG, or any of the Group's subsidiaries, on any debt instrument would have a material adverse effect on KONGSBERG's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects.
VII	Fluctuations in interest rates	KONGSBERG is primarily exposed to interest rate changes as a result of the financing of the business and the management of liquidity. As of the date of the Base Prospectus all bonds and deposits in money market funds are in NOK. The bonds have been issued with both fixed and floating interest rates, whereas the money market deposits have floating interest rates. Deposits in the Group's cash pool or with other banks are subject to floating interest rate. If the interest rate increases, it may have adverse effect on the business and financial conditions.
VIII	Failure to fulfil contractual obligations by customers	Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, there is a greater risk of the cancellation of customer contracts and late, or non payments, as a result of large parts of KONGBSERGs customer base being affected by the pandemic, which could lead to the increased risk of losses on accounts receivable, goods, project assets and currency futures for KONGSBERG.
1e	Risks related to tax and legal matters
I	Changes in the tax regimes	KONGSBERG is subject to taxation by Norwegian tax authorities and the relevant governmental authorities in the other countries in which KONGSBERG operate through various subsidiaries. Tax laws and regulations may be complex and subject to interpretation and change. Any change in taxation regime or interpretation of present tax regulations may affect the payable or deferred taxes of KONGSBERG, and thereby have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects.

II	Legal disputes	KONGSBERG may from time to time be involved in legal disputes. KONGSBERG could be involved in criminal or civil proceedings relating to product liability, environmental, safety, competition or anti-bribery regulations, and other types of dispute, and may be liable for the cost of defending such disputes in court, as well as the cost of any fines imposed on us. If this would occur, it would have adversely effect on KONGSBERG's financial condition.
1f	Risks related to climate policy and strategy
I	Increased focus on climate and zero-emission	KONGSBERG may be exposed to transition and market risk in the maritime sector in relation to the increased focus on climate and zero-emission society, especially related to the oil and gas business. These risks may in turn impact the demand for KONGSBERG's products and services. If KONGSBERG cannot offer innovative products and technologies which reduce carbon emissions for customers, it may have an adverse effect on KONGSBERGs ability to be positioned right when the shift to zero-emission society occurs, which will consequently affect KONGSBERGs current market shares negatively.
II	Demand for climate accounting	There is an increased external focus and demand from customers, investors and regulators for more details in the current climate accounting's report. If KONGSBERG is not able to create a new climate strategy with ambitions and targets for reductions in own operations and supply chain that adheres to the external demand, it may have an adverse effect on KONGSBERGs ability to attract new customers, investors and financing.

1.2 Risk factors related to the Bonds

Bonds may be purchased to reduce risk or enhance yield with an understood, measured and appropriate addition of risk to the investor's overall portfolio. A potential investor should not invest in Bonds unless the investor has the expertise to evaluate how the Bonds will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Bonds and the impact the investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.

	Risk factor	Description
I	Inability to repay the Bonds	The ability of the Issuer to make principal or interest payments when due in respect to the Bonds will depend on the Group's financial performance and its ability to generate cash flow from operations. KONGSBERG is subject to several risks, as listed in section 1.1, which can all affect the Group's ability to generate cash flow, and consequently its capacity to service its debt.
		If the Group is unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service its indebtedness it may be required to adopt an alternative strategy that may include actions such as

		reducing or delaying capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring, refinancing indebtedness, or seeking equity capital. The Group cannot assure investors that any of these alternative strategies could be affected on satisfactory terms, if at all, or that they would yield sufficient funds to make scheduled payments on the Bonds.
II	Subordination	The secured creditors of the Issuer will have priority over the assets securing their debt. Due to this, there is a risk that KONGSBERG's senior secured lenders may enforce their security against the interest of the Bondholders, without consulting them. Any assets remaining after repayment of the Issuer's secured debt may not be sufficient to repay all amounts owing under the Bonds.
III	Market value fluctuations	The market value of the Bonds may decrease or fluctuate due to a number of interrelated factors, including economic, financial and political events in Norway and elsewhere, as well as factors affecting capital markets generally and Oslo Stock Exchange specifically, where the Bonds will be listed. Furthermore, any change in market sentiment regarding KONGSBERG may be due to speculation about the Group's business in media or in the investment community, changes in the Group's profit estimates, and changes in general market conditions. If any of these factors occur, the pricing of the Bonds could be materially and adverse affected.
IV	Terms of Bond agreement	The terms and conditions of the Bond Agreements allows for modifications of the Bonds or waivers or authorisations of breaches and substitution of KONGSBERG which, in certain circumstances, may be affected without consent of the Bondholders. The Bond Agreements contain provisions for calling meetings of Bondholders to consider matters affecting their interests generally. These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all Bondholders, including Bondholders who did not attend and vote at the relevant meeting, and Bondholders who voted in the manner contrary to the majority. The Bond Trustee, as trustee on behalf of the Bondholders, may without consent of Bondholders, agree to certain modifications of the Bond Agreement and other Finance Documents (as defined in the Bond Agreement) which, in the opinion of the Bond Trustee, are proper to make. Any such amendments may be disadvantageous to Bondholders.
V	Change of Control	Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event or a De-listing (as such term is defined in the Bond

Agreements), each individual Bondholder shall, subject
to certain conditions being met, have the right to
require that the Company purchases some or all of the
Bonds held by that Bondholder at a price equal to 101%
of par (plus accrued and unpaid interest). However, it is
possible that KONGSBERG will have insufficient funds at
the time of the relevant Change of Control Event or De
listing to repurchase the Bonds. The KONGSBERG's
failure to repurchase the Bonds would constitute an
event of default under the Bond Agreements.

MiFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market – Solely for the purposes of [the/each] manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Bonds has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Bonds is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Bonds to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. [Consider any negative target market]. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer['s/s'] target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Bonds (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer['s/s'] target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

[PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - The Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended or superseded), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling The Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling The Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.] [In case MiFID II identified target group are retail investors, professional investors and eligible counterparties, insert the following:]

MiFID II product governance / Retail investors, professional investors and ECPs target market – Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Bonds has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Bonds is eligible counterparties, professional clients and retail clients each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); (ii) all channels for distribution to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate; and (iii) the following channels for distribution of the Bonds to retail clients are appropriate – investment advice, portfolio management, non-advised sales and pure execution services – subject to the distributor's suitability and appropriateness obligations under MiFID II, as applicable. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Bonds (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels, subject to the distributor's suitability and appropriateness obligations under MiFID II, as applicable.
