Following the announcement made on December 18, 2020, to combine forces with Entra ASA (“Entra”), Castellum Aktiebolag (publ) (“Castellum”) launches the voluntary share exchange and cash offer for all outstanding shares in Entra not already owned by Castellum (the “Offer”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer set out in an offer document dated January 7, 2021 (the “Offer Document”), Castellum is offering each eligible Entra shareholder 8 newly issued Castellum shares for every 13 shares in Entra and NOK 54.39 in cash per share in Entra. Eligible shareholders of Entra can tender their shares between January 8 and February 6, 2021 (subject to extension).

Offer summary

• The Offer values each share in Entra at NOK 186.19 (1) exclusive of synergies and consists of 8 newly issued Castellum shares for every 13 shares in Entra and NOK 54.39 in cash per share in Entra. Eligible shareholders of Entra are also offered a mix-and-match facility as is further described below and in the Offer Document

• The Offer represents a premium of 29.6% to Entra’s undisturbed closing share price as of November 23, 2020, 42.5% to Entra’s volume weighted average share price for the 3-month period ending November 23, 2020, and 14.9% to Entra’s reported Q3 2020 EPRA NRV (2)
