Entra ASA : Initiates share buy-back program

Entra ASA : Initiates share buy-back program

Entra ASA ("Entra") has decided to initiate a share buy-back program for up to

2% of the registered shares, representing up to 3,674,649 shares.

Up to 2,447,272 of the total 3,674,649 shares will be repurchased in the market.

The remaining up to 1,227,377 shares will be purchased from the Norwegian state

pursuant to an agreement between Entra and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and

Fisheries. According to the agreement the Ministry is committed to participate

in a share buy-back program on a proportionate basis so that the Ministry's

ownership interest in Entra of 33.4% remains unchanged.

Entra has put in place a non- discretionary program (the "Program") for the

repurchase of up to 2,447,272 of its ordinary shares (the "Shares"). The Program

will be managed by third parties, which will make its trading decisions in

relation to the Shares independently of, and uninfluenced by, Entra. Please note

this may result in Entra buying shares through periods where the company

otherwise would have been restricted.

The shares will be repurchased in accordance with the authorisation given by

Entra's AGM on 20 April 2018. Entra will seek approval by the AGM in April 2019

for cancellation of the repurchased shares and a corresponding redemption of the

proportionate shares from the Ministry. The market repurchases will have

immediate cash flow effects whereas the pro rata redemption from the Ministry

will be paid in second quarter 2019.

The buy-back program will be in force until the maximum number of shares as set

out above has been acquired, unless the Board resolves to terminate the program

at an earlier time.
