Based on the authorization granted by the annual general meeting of the Company

of the Company, the Company hereby launches a tender offer to purchase shares of

the Company up to the NOK equivalent of USD 50 million (the "Offering"). The

Offering will be conducted as a reverse book building process in which

shareholders can submit sales offers.

The acquisition of shares is subject to offer demand and prices and as further

determined by the Company's Board. The Company reserves the right, at its own

discretion, to acquire fewer shares or no shares at all in the Offering. To the

extent the Company elects to buy back less than USD 50 million, the remaining

amount will be paid to shareholders as a dividend.

The purpose of the shares acquired in the Offering is expected to be used in the

Company group's share incentive program, and for the remaining (majority part)

to be cancelled at a later stage, subject to approval by a general meeting

resolution.

targets.

The Offering will be carried out by means of a reverse book building process

where the Company, through DNB Carnegie, will receive offers for desired

volume(s) at desired price(s) for sale from the shareholders. The Company

reserves the right to, at its own discretion, accept any volume up to an

accepted price, or to reject any and all received offers in the contemplated

Offering. The Company may further, at its sole discretion amend, terminate or

withdraw the Offering at any time until the time of completion of the Offering.
