Aurora Eiendom AS – Delisting

Aurora Eiendom AS – Delisting

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, INTO OR WITHIN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

Aurora Eiendom AS (AURA) (hereinafter the “Company”) hereby announces a proposal to the shareholders to delist from Euronext Growth Oslo (the “Delisting”) at the upcoming annual general meeting to be held on or about 15 May 2025 (the “AGM”).

The Company believes that a delisting from Euronext Growth Oslo is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. The Company derives limited benefits from being listed, while the share is trading at a significant discount to reported net asset value (NAV) and daily trading volumes are low, reflecting a highly concentrated ownership. Operating as a private company would offer greater flexibility and facilitate transactions where share settlement better reflects fair value. A delisting would also reduce annual listing costs by approximately NOK 1 million and allow management to allocate more resources to value creation initiatives.

In conjunction with the Delisting, and subject to the Conditions set out below, certain shareholders (the "Offerors") will launch an unregulated voluntary cash offer (the “Cash Offer”), for all outstanding shares (the "Shares") in the Company not already owned by the Offerors (the “Offer Shares”), providing Eligible Shareholders (as defined below) an opportunity to sell its Shares in the Company as an alternative to continuing as owners in a private structure.

The Offerors have committed to acquire Shares for up to NOK 254 million (the “Offeror Commitment”). In the event the Cash Offer is accepted by Eligible Shareholders for more than the Offeror Commitment, the Company will acquire Offer Shares for up to an amount of NOK 102 million (the “Company Commitment”).

The Offerors which include Eiendomsspar AS, Joh Johansson Eiendom AS, Alti Invest AS, Varner Invest AS and Strawberry Shopping AS jointly hold 26 276 035 Shares in the Company, representing 84.86 % of the outstanding Shares. The Offerors, and certain other Shareholders, holding in aggregate 88.37 % of the outstanding Shares, have undertaken to vote in favor of the Delisting at the AGM.

Key terms in connection with the cash offer:

Offer Price:

The offer price in the Cash Offer (the “Offer Price”) is fixed at NOK 86.83 per Offer Share, which corresponds to the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s shares for the last 30 trading days prior to launch of the Cash Offer. The Offer Price implies a market capitalization of the Company of NOK 2 688 million.

Offer Period:

The offer period for the Cash Offer will commence today, on 30 April 2025 at 09:00 and expire at 16:30 hours (Norwegian time) on 14 May 2025 (the "Offer Period").

The Cash Offer may only be accepted pursuant to the terms and procedures set out in the Cash Offer Term Sheet and Application Form, which sets out the complete terms and conditions of the Cash Offer. The Cash Offer is directed solely to any shareholders other than the Offerors (“Eligible Shareholders”) who are resident in jurisdictions where the Cash Offer can legally be made.
