KID - Approval of supplemental prospectus and

extension of application period/bookbuilding period

Lier, 27 October 2015: Kid ASA (the "Company") has

today published a supplemental prospectus

(the "Supplemental Prospectus") supplementing the

prospectus dated 16 October 2015 (the "Prospectus") in

connection with the initial offering of up to

32,516,129 shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares"

or the "Offering") and the related listing of the

Company's shares on Oslo Børs or alternatively Oslo

Axess (the "Listing"). The Supplemental Prospectus has

been approved by the Financial Supervisory Authority

of Norway. The supplemental information in the

Supplemental Prospectus is to be considered as an

integral part of, and is to be read together with, the

Prospectus, and as part of the basis for any decision

of investment in the Company's shares.

Due to the publication of the supplemental prospectus,

the Company will, in line with current market

regulation, extend the Bookbuilding Period and the

Application Period. As a result of the extension:

(i) the Application Period during which

applications for Offer Shares in the Retail Offering

and the Employee Offering will be accepted will end on

29 October 2015 at 12:00 hours (CET) (unless shortened

or extended).

(ii) the Bookbuilding Period for the Institutional

Offering will end on 29 October 2015 at 14:00 hours

(CET) (unless shortened or extended).

Applicants that have applied for Offer Shares in the

Offering before the publication of this Supplemental

Prospectus have the right to withdraw their

application within two days after the publication of

this Supplemental Prospectus, cf. Section 7-21(2) of

the Norwegian Securities Trading Act (i.e. prior to

12:00 hours (CET) on 29 October 2015). Such withdrawal

is made by contacting ABG Sundal Collier or Arctic

Securities. Investors that have applied for Offer

Shares in the Offering before the publication of this

Supplemental Prospectus and have not utilised the

right to withdraw their application within the two-day

deadline as indicated above, will be regarded as

having accepted the revised terms of the Offering and

hence will not need to submit a new application.

The Supplemental Prospectus will be available at the

following websites: www.abgsc.com and www.arcticsec.no

and hard copies may be obtained free of charge from
