By order of the Board

Elena Hajiroussou Secretary

Background:

A. Board Composition

North Sea Strategic Investments AS has requisitioned the Board of Directors to convene an extraordinary general meeting for the election of an additional member to the Board of Directors. The resolutions set out in items 2 and 3 of this Notice are proposed following the report and recommendation of the Election Committee, a copy of which is included as Appendix 2 of the Notice.

B. Share Capital Consolidation and Division

In order to secure an adequate pricing and in order to ensure compliance with section 2.4 of the continuing obligations of stock exchange listed companies issued by Oslo Børs, the Board of Directors proposes that a reverse split (consolidation and division) of the Company's shares is completed.

The reverse split will be implemented by increasing each share's nominal value and simultaneously reducing the number of shares with a corresponding fraction. After the reverse split, the shares will be re-priced in the market to reflect the reverse split and the new nominal value of the shares as well as the number of shares in issue.

The reverse split does not entail a decrease of the share capital of the Company, only a new total number of shares with a new nominal value.

As follows from the proposed resolutions set out herein, it is the proposal that such reverse share split is made in the ratio of 100:1, so that one hundred shares each with a nominal value of EUR 0.001 will be replaced by one new share with a nominal value of EUR 0.10 (the "Share Consolidation"). Similar adjustments will occur with respect to convertible bonds issued by the Company.

Shareholders not holding a number of shares giving a whole number when divided by the adjustment ratio shall on implementation of the Share Consolidation have their shareholding adjusted so as to receive a whole number of shares. The Company will seek to ensure that all such shareholders in connection with the Share Consolidation, receive the necessary number of existing shares so that all fractional shares, to the extent possible, may be rounded up to one whole share. Only whole shares will however be issued, and should such transfers not be possible, in whole or in part, shareholdings may also be rounded down.

In order to facilitate the Share Consolidation and to avoid fraction shares, the Board of Directors also propose certain other ancillary resolutions, including increase of authorised share capital and potential issue of up to 99 shares as further set out herein.

The resolutions set out in items 4-9 of this Notice are proposed to facilitate the Share Consolidation.

1. Appointment of Chairperson of the Extraordinary General Meeting

It is proposed that Mr. Glen Ole Rødland (or his Proxy) be appointed as chairperson of the meeting.

2. Appointment of Mr. Svend Anton Maier as a new member of the Board of Directors

Appendix 2

Report and Recommendations from the Prosafe SE Election Committee for the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 30 November 2016 ("EGM")

The Election Committee for Prosafe SE ("Prosafe" or "Company") has been elected by the shareholders in accordance with Regulation 54 of the Articles of Association of the Company. The current Committee was appointed by the 2016 Annual General Meeting and comprises of Mr. Thomas Raaschou (Chair) and Mrs. Annette Malm Justad.

The duties of the Election Committee involve evaluating and submitting recommendations to the General Meeting on the composition of the Board of Directors of Prosafe.

Reference is made to the forthcoming EGM of Prosafe to be held on 30 November 2016, requisitioned by North Sea Strategic Investments AS ("NSSI"), which is owned by HitecVision through its HitecVision VII fund. NSSI is currently registered as owner of 1,547,940,903 ordinary shares comprising 25.6 % of the issued share capital of Prosafe.

In this report, the Election Committee will consider the nomination made by NSSI for an additional member of the board of directors. Separately, the Election Committee will also consider the appointment of Mr. Glen Ole Rødland (the current Interim Chairman) as the Chairman of the Company.

1. Appointment of new director

NSSI has nominated Mr. Svend Anton Maier for consideration by the Election Committee for appointment to the Prosafe Board of Directors.

The Election Committee has considered the proposal from NSSI and has also consulted with other large shareholders in Prosafe, as well as the Directors of the Board and the management.

The Election Committee has considered all relevant factors and based its recommendations on the interests of the shareholders in general and the best interests of the Company.

Pursuant to the Articles of Association of Prosafe and authorities granted by the general meeting, the number of members which may be appointed to the board is up to seven. The Board of Directors is currently comprised of five members. Mr. Maier is now proposed to be elected as an additional member to the Board of Directors. This will increase the number of members of the Board to six, and none of the current members of the Board will be required to retire or to be replaced as a result of the election of Mr. Maier as a new member.

Mr. Maier's résumé is attached hereto. Mr. Maier has considerable experience within the oil and gas industry and has extensive operational and industrial knowledge. In addition, Mr. Maier's existing knowledge of the drilling rig industry should enable him to participate and contribute as a member of the Board of Directors within a short timeframe. The Election Committee believes that Mr. Maier's qualifications and expertise will complement and enhance the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Election Committee is confident in recommending Mr. Maier as a member of the Board of Directors in Prosafe.

If appointed, Mr. Maier will be regarded as an independent member of the Board of Directors.

The Election Committee proposes that Mr. Maier is appointed as a Director for a period expiring on the date of the 2018 Annual General Meeting.

2. Appointment of Chairman

Glen Ole Rødland was appointed as a Director of Prosafe Board on 15 March 2016. On 25 May 2016, Mr. Harald Espedal resigned as Chairman of the Prosafe Board and Mr. Rødland was appointed as Interim Chairman with effect from such date. The Election Committee now recommends and proposes that Mr. Rødland is appointed to the position of Chairman.

APPENDIX TO THE ELECTION COMMITTEE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Svend Anton Maier

Svend Anton Maier (52) has more than three decades of oil and gas industry experience working for Seadrill from 2007 until 2016. Prior to this Mr. Maier worked for Transocean from 1996 to 2007, and Ross Offshore from 1986 until 1996.

Mr. Maier previously served as Senior Vice President for Seadrill, based in Houston. He was also the Senior Vice President for Seadrill Africa Middle East based in Dubai. Mr. Maier has an extensive career managing oil and gas operations in Europe, Middle East, Africa and the Americas, and has also held various corporate positions in Norway. He started his career on the offshore fields in the North Sea and worked and lived in various countries such as Equatorial Guinea, Egypt, Nigeria, United Arab Emirates and Houston. Mr. Maier holds a Degree in Marine engineering from Tønsberg Maritime.

Mr. Maier will be joining the floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) industry in a leading role starting Q1 2017.

Directors' Report relating to proposed disapplication of pre-emption rights under item 6 of the proposed resolutions

Reference is made to item 7 of the proposed resolutions. The Board of Directors has proposed that the Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") approves the authorisation to issue up to 99 new shares, for the purpose of ensuring that consolidation and division of the Company's share capital on the basis of a ratio of 100:1 so that every 100 shares of nominal value €0.001 each in the share capital of the Company (both issued and unissued) be consolidated and divided into 1 share of nominal value Euro 0.10, is achievable. It is the intention that the shares will be issued at market value. To be able to issue such shares, and given the very low number of shares to be issued, the Board of Directors has proposed that any pre-emption rights under the Articles of Association of the Company and section 60B of the Companies Law, Cap 113, and any other pre-emption rights or rights of first refusal, howsoever arising, be waived and dis-applied. For a further description on the background and legal requirement to complete the Share Consolidation, reference is made to Part B of the background included in Appendix 1 to the EGM notice.
