Schibsted ASA (SCHA/SCHB) - Stabilisation and over-allotment notice

Schibsted ASA (SCHA/SCHB) - Stabilisation and over-allotment notice

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN

AUSTRALIA, CANADA, THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION OF THE PEOPLE'S

REPUBLIC OF CHINA, JAPAN, SOUTH AFRICA OR THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER

JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS

OR  REGULATIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.

Oslo, 9 April 2019: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement

published earlier today (9 April 2019), whereby Adevinta ASA ("Adevinta") and

Schibsted ASA ("Schibsted") announced the successful completion of bookbuilding

of the offering of B-Shares in Adevinta (the "Sale Shares") (the "Offering").

J.P. Morgan Securities plc as "Stabilisation Manager" may, on behalf of the

Managers, engage in stabilisation activities of the B-Shares of Adevinta from

10 April 2019 to and including 9 May 2019 (the "Stabilisation Period"). Any

stabilisation activities are aimed to support the market price of the Shares.

In connection with the Offering, the Managers (as defined below) have over-

allotted 5,533,962 B-Shares in Adevinta to the applicants in the Offering (the

"Additional Shares"), which equals approximately 15% of the number of Sale

Shares sold in the Offering before over-allotments. In order to permit the

delivery in respect of over-allotments made, the Stabilisation Manager, on

behalf of the Managers, has borrowed, from Schibsted and Blommenholm Industrier

AS (collectively, the "Selling Shareholders"), a number of B-Shares in Adevinta

equal to the number of Additional Shares.

Further, the Selling Shareholders have granted to the Stabilisation Manager, on

behalf of the Managers, an option, which may be exercised to acquire at a price

per Share equal to the offer price in the Offering of NOK 78 (the "Offer Price")

up to a number of shares equal to the Additional Shares (the "Over-Allotment

Option"). The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised by the Stabilisation

Manager, on behalf of the Managers, no later than the 30th calendar day

following commencement of trading in the B-Shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange, as

may be necessary to cover over-allotments and short positions made or created in

connection with the Offering. The Managers have over-allotted B-Shares in the

Offering and have thus created a short position in the B-Shares. The

Stabilisation Manager, on behalf of the Managers, may close out this short

position by buying B-Shares in the open market through stabilisation activities

and/or by exercising the Over-Allotment Option.

The Stabilisation Manager may, from 10 April 2019, effect transactions with a

view to support the market price of the B-Shares at a level higher than what

might otherwise prevail, through buying B-Shares in the open market at prices

equal to or lower than the Offer Price. There is no obligation on the

Stabilisation Manager to conduct stabilisation activities and there is no

assurance that stabilisation activities will be undertaken. Such stabilising

activities, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time, and will be brought

to an end at the latest at the end of the Stabilisation Period.

Any stabilisation activities will be conducted in accordance with section 3-12

of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and the EC Commission Regulation

2273/2003 regarding buy-back programmes and stabilisation of financial

instruments.

Within one week after the expiry of the Stabilisation Period, the Stabilisation

Manager, on behalf of the Managers, shall publish information as to whether or

not price stabilisation activities were undertaken. If stabilisation activities

were undertaken, the statement will also include information about: (i) the

total amount of B-Shares sold and purchased; (ii) the dates on which the

stabilisation activities began and ended; and (iii) the price range between

which stabilisation was carried out, as well as the highest, lowest and average

price paid during the stabilisation period.

To the extent that there are any profits earned from such stabilisation

transactions, the Stabilisation Manager, on behalf of the Managers, shall remit

the aggregate amount of any such net profits to the Selling Shareholders.

For further details, see Adevinta's prospectus dated 1 April 2019.
