STABILISATION AND OVER-ALLOTMENT NOTICE

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR

INDIRECTLY, TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR

DISSEMINATION IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA,

HONG KONG, CANADA OR JAPAN, OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION

IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

KID ASA - STABILISATION AND OVER-ALLOTMENT NOTICE

Lier, 30 October 2015: Reference is made to the stock

exchange announcement published on 30 October 2015, in

which Kid ASA ("Kid" or the "Company") announced the

successful completion of the bookbuilding period for

the initial public offering of the shares

(the "Offering").

ABG Sundal Collier ASA (the "Stabilisation Manager")

may, on behalf of the Joint Bookrunners for the

Offering and listing of the shares (the "Shares") of

Kid, engage in stabilisation activities in the Shares

from 2 November 2015, the first day of trading, to and

including 2 December 2015 (the "Stabilisation Period").

The stabilisation transactions are aimed to support

the market price of the Shares. In connection with the

Offering, the Joint Bookrunners have been granted an

over-allotment option (the "Over-allotment Option")

and have over-allotted to the investors in the

Offering 3,054,838 Shares. The over-allotted Shares

have been borrowed from Gjelsten Holding AS.

The Over-allotment Option entitles the Joint

Bookrunners, at the request of the Stabilisation

Manager, to purchase up to 3,054,838 additional Shares

from Gjelsten Holding AS at a price per Share equal to

the offer price in the Offering of NOK 31 per Share

(the "Offer Price").

The Stabilisation Manager (or persons acting on behalf

of the Stabilisation Manager) may effect transactions

that stabilise or maintain the price of the Shares at

a level higher than that which might otherwise

prevail, by buying Shares in the open market at prices

equal to or lower than (but not above) the Offer

Price. However, there is no obligation on the

Stabilisation Manager or any person acting for the

Stabilisation Manager to do so. Moreover, there is

no assurance that the Stabilisation Manager (or

persons acting on behalf of the Stabilisation Manager)

will undertake stabilisation activities. If

stabilisation activities are commenced, they may be

discontinued at any time, and must end upon the expiry

of the Stabilisation Period.

Within one week after the expiry of the Stabilisation

Period, the Stabilisation Manager will 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

Shares sold and purchased; (ii) the dates on which

the stabilisation period began and ended; (iii) the

price range between which stabilisation was carried

out, as well as the highest, lowest and average price

paid during the stabilisation period; and (iv) the

date at which stabilisation activities last occurred.

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.

For further details see the prospectus dated 16

October 2015 issued by Kid in connection with the

Offering.

ABG Sundal Collier ASA and Arctic Securities AS

(collectively the "Joint Bookrunners") are acting as

Joint Bookrunners in the IPO.
