The Offer Shares shall be offered outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S. Prospective purchasers are hereby notified that sellers of Offer Shares may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act. See Section 16.

Any Offer Shares or Subscription Rights offered or sold in the United States will be subject to certain transfer restrictions as set forth under Section 14 "Selling and transfer restrictions".

Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not passed upon the merits of the Rights Issue or confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this Prospectus.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS IN THE EEA

In any member state of the European Economic Area (the "EEA") that has implemented the EU Prospectus Regulation, other than Norway (each, a "Relevant Member State"), this communication is only addressed to and is only directed at qualified investors in that Member State within the meaning of the EU Prospectus Regulation. The Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that all offers of Subscription Rights outside Norway will be made pursuant to an exemption under the EU Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offer of securities. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make any offer within the EEA of Subscription Rights which is the subject of the Rights Issue contemplated in this Prospectus within any EEA member state (other than Norway) should only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Company or the Settlement Agent to publish a prospectus or a supplement to a prospectus under the EU Prospectus Regulation for such offer. Neither the Company nor the Settlement Agent has authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Shares or Subscription Rights through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by the Company which constitute the final placement of Offer Shares contemplated in this Prospectus.

Each person in a Relevant Member State other than, in the case of paragraph (a), persons receiving offers contemplated in this Prospectus in Norway who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any Offer Shares under, the offers contemplated in this Prospectus will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed to and with the Settlement Agent and the Company that:

  • a) it is a qualified investor as defined in the EU Prospectus Regulation; and
  • b) in the case of any Offer Shares or Subscription Rights acquired by it as a financial intermediary, as that term is used in the EU Prospectus Regulation, (i) such Offer Shares, or Subscription Rights acquired by it in the Rights Issue have not been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, as that term is defined in the EU Prospectus Regulation, or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the Settlement Agent has been given to the offer or resale; or (ii) where such Offer Shares or Subscription Rights have been acquired by it on behalf of persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, the offer of those Offer Shares or Subscription Rights to it is not treated under the EU Prospectus Regulations having been made to such persons.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an "offer to the public" in relation to any of the Offer Shares or Subscription Rights in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and any security to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase any of the Offer Shares or Subscription Rights, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the EU Prospectus Regulation in that Relevant Member State, and the expression "EU Prospectus Regulation" means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (and amendments thereto, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.

See Section 14 "Selling and transfer restrictions" for certain other notices to investors.

INFORMATION TO DISTRIBUTORS

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that they each are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II (the "Positive Target Market"); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Appropriate Channels for Distribution"). Distributors should note that: the price of the Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. Conversely, an investment in the Shares is not compatible with investors looking for full capital protection or full repayment of the amount invested or having no risk tolerance, or investors requiring a fully guaranteed income or fully predictable return profile (the "Negative Target Market", and, together with the Positive Target Market, the "Target Market Assessment").

The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Rights Issue.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

The Company is a private limited company incorporated under the laws of Norway. As a result, the rights of holders of the Company's Shares will be governed by Norwegian law and the Company's articles of association (the "Articles of Association"). The rights of shareholders under Norwegian law may differ from the rights of shareholders of companies incorporated in other jurisdictions. None of the members of the Company's board of directors (the "Board Members" and the "Board of Directors", respectively) are residents of the United States, and a substantial portion of the Company's assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors in the United States to effect service of process on the Company or its Board Members and members of Management in the United States or to enforce in the United States judgments obtained in U.S. courts against the Company or those persons, including judgments based on the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State or territory within the United States. Uncertainty exists as to whether courts in Norway will enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions, including the United States, against the Company or its Board Members or members of Management under the securities laws of those jurisdictions or entertain actions in Norway against the Company or its Board Members or members of Management under the securities laws of other jurisdictions. In addition, awards of punitive damages in actions brought in the United States or elsewhere may not be enforceable in Norway. The United States does not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgements (other than arbitral awards) in civil and commercial matters with Norway.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

The Company has agreed that, for so long as any of the Offer Shares are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act, it will during any period in which it is neither subject to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "U.S. Exchange Act"), nor exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the U.S. Exchange Act, provide to any holder or beneficial owners of Shares, or to any prospective purchaser designated by any such registered holder, upon the request of such holder, beneficial owner or prospective owner, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) of the U.S. Securities Act.

GDPR (THE GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION) AND THE NORWEGIAN DATA PROTECTION ACT OF 15 JUNE 2018/DATA PROTECTION

As data controllers, the Settlement Agent processes personal data to deliver the products and services that are agreed between the parties and for other purposes, such as to comply with laws and other regulations. The personal data will be processed as long as necessary for the purposes, and will subsequently be deleted unless there is a statutory duty to keep it. For detailed information on the Settlement Agent's processing of personal data, please review the Settlement Agent's privacy policy, which is available on its website or by contacting the Settlement Agent. The privacy policy contains information about the rights in connection with the processing of personal data, such as the access to information, rectification, data portability, etc. If the applicant is a corporate customer, such customer shall forward the Settlement Agent's privacy policy to the individuals whose personal data it discloses to the Settlement Agent.

2 RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Shares involves inherent risk. Before making an investment decision with respect to the Shares, investors should carefully consider the risk factors and all information contained in this Prospectus, including the financial statements and related notes. The risks and uncertainties described in this Section 2 are the principal known risks and uncertainties faced by the Group as of the date hereof that the Company believes are the material risks relevant to an investment in Shares. An investment in the Shares is suitable only for investors who understand the risks associated with this type of investment and who can afford to lose all or part of their investment.

The risk factors included in this Section 2 are presented in a limited number of categories, where each risk factor is placed in the most appropriate category based on the nature of the risk it represents. Within each category, the risk factors deemed most material for the Group, taking into account their potential negative effect for the Company and its subsidiaries and the probability of their occurrence, are set out first. This does not mean that the remaining risk factors are ranked in order of their materiality or comprehensibility, nor based on a probability of their occurrence. The absence of negative past experience associated with a given risk factor does not mean that the risks and uncertainties described herein should not be considered prior to making an investment decision in respect of the Shares.

If any of the following risks were to materialize, individually or together with other circumstances, they could have a material and adverse effect on the Group and/or its business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects, which may cause a decline in the value and trading price of the Shares, resulting in the loss of all or part of an investment in the same. Additional risk factors of which the Company is currently unaware, or which it currently deems not to be material risks, may also have corresponding negative effects. Before making any investment decision, any potential investor must also take into account that a number of general risk factors that are not included in this Section 2 still apply to the Group and the Shares.

2.1 Risks related to the business and industry in which the Company operates

2.1.1 Investment risk

The Group's strategy is to hold investments in financial and operational assets and exercise influence over its investments that over time generate profits. Investors in the Company will be subject to a range of risks each associated with the relevant investments that the Group holds at any time, and which will have to be assessed on a continuing basis.

As of the date of this Prospectus the Group holds an investment in Norsk Renewables AS, representing approximately NOK 1,2 million of the Company's capital and corresponding to a 1.9% ownership stake. Consequently, investors will be exposed to the risk associated with Norsk Renewables. Norsk Renewables AS is a Norway-based independent power producer with a commercial offering that includes solar, wind and storage with in-country presence in South Africa, Brazil, Vietnam, Spain and Norway. The investment in Norsk Renewables AS represents a continuation of the risks associated with an investment in the Company prior to the divestment of the Group's solar plant operations. To understand the risk of an investment investors should review public information about Norsk Renewables AS1 .

As the Group is at a stage where its most significant investments are expected to be made in the future, it is not possible to accurately assess the risk related to an investment in the Company and its financial instruments. Subject to the investments made by the Group, an investment may be subject to a high or low relative risk of loss. Consequently, there is a risk that the investments held by the Company may not be profitable, that there will be no proceeds from such investments available for distribution to shareholders, or that the Company may not achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk. Company performance may be volatile, and a shareholder could incur a total or substantial loss of its investment.

2.1.2 Risk related to implementation of strategy

When resolving to revise its strategy, the Group made certain assumptions inter alia with respect to synergies to be achieved, including cost savings, improved efficiencies and enhanced competitive advantages. There is a risk that these assumptions may prove incorrect or fail to materialize as expected, potentially leading to inefficiencies, increased costs, and operational disruptions. This could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial performance, cash flows, and overall strategic objectives.

Holding investments represents the substantial part of the Group's strategy. Successful growth through investments is dependent upon the Group's ability to identify undervalued, overlooked or neglected targets or sectors with a strong longterm potential, where the Company can contribute to the growth of the targets through its ownership, conduct appropriate due diligence, negotiate transactions on favorable terms and ultimately complete and/or implement these investments to the Group's portfolio of investments to achieve returns through active ownership or its strategic influence. If the Group makes investments, it may be unable to generate expected margins or cash flows, or realise the anticipated benefits of such investments. The Group's assessment of and assumptions regarding investment targets, and ability to influence the targets, could prove to be incorrect, and actual developments may differ significantly from expectations. Failure to make investments on favorable terms, or misjudgment in assessments and assumptions, may incur the Group with unrecovered costs and impede the growth of the Group in a way that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition and/or prospects. For further information about the Group's strategy, see Section 8.2 "Strategy of the Group".

2.2 Risks relating to laws, regulations and compliance

2.2.1 The Group is exposed to legal and regulatory compliance risk

The Group has to comply with a wide range of laws and regulations, e.g. data protection regulations and regulatory regime applicable to electronic archiving of public data the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") in the EU/EEA incorporated in Norwegian law through the Personal Data Act and tax legislation, treaties and regulations. Further, due to the nature of the Group's business as an industrial investment company, the Company is also exposed to regulatory risks arising from the interpretation of the Norwegian Act on the Management of Alternative Investment Funds implementing the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD). The Company has considered whether the Company can be classified as an alternative investment fund (AIF) subject to regulation by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway, and is confident in its assessment that it does not meet the criteria to be classified as an AIF. As set out in Section 8.2 "Strategy of the Group", the Company's core philosophy is active, long-term ownership, by operating as both industrial investors and business developers, where the main purpose is to get a return on the investments through owning companies that generate value from their operations over time. Despite the Company's confidence in its non-AIF status, there remains a regulatory compliance risk due to the potential for differing interpretations of the AIF criteria and changes in regulatory guidance or enforcement practices by the national competent authority. Should the aforementioned risk materialise, this may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, performance and financial position.

2.3 Risks relating to the financial position of the Group

2.3.1 The Group may not pay any dividends in the foreseeable future, and will need additional capital in the future to implement its strategies

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Group is still in a development phase, not generating a profit and is not in a position to pay any dividends. There is a risk that the Group may not achieve profitability or that the Group, in any given year, may not propose or declare dividends.

The Group will also require additional capital in the future to implement its strategies or at least to grow the strategies in size. Additional capital may also be required due to unforeseen liabilities or other circumstances in order for it to take advantage of opportunities that may be presented to it. Further, negative developments in the costs of the Group may lead to a strained liquidity position and the potential need for additional funding through equity funding, debt financing or other means, and the Group may not be able to obtain necessary funding in a timely manner and/or on acceptable terms. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Group could be forced to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its development and commercialization efforts, and further may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities, respond to competitive pressures or other commercially reasonable efforts to secure growth, any of which could adversely impact the Group's results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.

2.4 Risks relating to the Shares and the Rights Issue

2.4.1 If the Rights Issue is withdrawn, all Subscription Rights will lapse without value resulting in the investors not receiving any refund or compensation for Subscription Rights purchased in the market

If the Rights Issue is withdrawn, all Subscription Rights will lapse without value, any subscriptions for, and allocations of, Offer Shares that have been made will be disregarded and any payments for Offer Shares made will be returned to the subscribers without interest or any other compensation. The lapsing of Subscription Rights will be without prejudice to the validity of any trades in Subscription Rights, and investors will not receive any refund or compensation in respect of Subscription Rights purchased in the market. The Rights Issue may be withdrawn in the event the minimum subscription of shares is not made by eligible investors at the end of the Subscription Period and the Guarantors do not fulfil their respective portion of the Total Guarantee Commitment or the Guarantee Agreements are terminated. In such case, the minimum share capital increase for the Rights Issue as resolved by the Company's extraordinary general meeting on 28 May 2025 (the "EGM") will not be subscribed and the share capital increase cannot be registered. Further, the Rights Issue may be withdrawn if investors do not fulfil their payment obligation for shares subscribed in the Rights Issue.

2.4.2 Existing Shareholders who do not participate in the Rights Issue may experience a significant dilution of their shareholding

Subscription Rights that are not sold before 16:30 CEST on 24 June 2025 or exercised by the end of the Subscription Period will have no value and will automatically lapse without compensation to the holder. To the extent that an Existing Shareholder does not sell its Subscription Rights before 16:30 CEST on 24 June 2025 or exercises its Subscription Rights prior to the expiry of the Subscription Period, whether by choice or due to a failure to comply with the procedures set forth in Section 5 "The Rights Issue", or to the extent that an Existing Shareholder is not permitted to subscribe for Offer Shares as further described in Section 14 "Selling and Transfer Restrictions", such Existing Shareholder's proportionate ownership and voting interests in the Company after the completion of the Rights Issue will be diluted. Even if an Existing Shareholder chooses to sell its unexercised Subscription Rights, or such Subscription Rights are sold on its behalf, the consideration it receives in the trading market for the Subscription Rights may not reflect the immediate dilution in its shareholding resulting from the completion of the Rights Issue.

2.4.3 The price of the Company's shares could fluctuate significantly

An investment in the Company's Shares is associated with a high degree of risk and the price of the Offer Shares may not develop favorably. An active or liquid trading market for the Shares may not develop or be sustained, and the Offer Shares may not be resold at or above the offer price. If such market fails to develop or be sustained, it could have a negative impact on the price of the Offer Shares. Investors may not be in a position to sell their shares quickly, at the market price or at all if there is no active trading in the Shares.

Further, while a subscription for Offer Shares is binding and irrevocable, and cannot be withdrawn, cancelled, or modified by the subscriber after reception, the delivery of the Offer Shares will not be immediate. Meanwhile, the trading price of the Shares has shown significant fluctuations in the past. Thus, subscribing for the Offer Shares carries the risk that, during the time span from the investor's subscription to the delivery of the Offer Shares, the Shares of the Company may trade below the Subscription Price. Should the share price develop negatively, this would result in a loss of the investment in the Offer Shares.

2.4.4 Future offerings of debt or equity securities by the Company may adversely affect the market price of the Shares and lead to substantial dilution of Existing shareholders

The Company may in the future seek to raise capital through offerings of debt securities, including convertible debt securities, or additional equity securities to finance new capital-intensive projects, in connection with unanticipated liabilities or expenses or for any other purposes. An issuance of additional equity securities or securities with rights to convert into equity could reduce the market price for the Shares and would dilute the economic and voting rights of the existing shareholders.

2.4.5 U.S Shareholders and certain other foreign shareholders may be diluted if they are unable to participate in future offering

Certain transfer and selling restrictions may limit a shareholder's ability to sell or otherwise transfer their Shares. Beneficial owners of Shares that are registered in the name of a nominee may not be able to vote for such Shares unless their ownership is re-registered with the VPS in the name of the beneficial owners prior to the general meeting. The Shares have not been registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) or any US state securities laws or any other jurisdiction outside of Norway and are not expected to be registered in the future. The Shares may not be offered or sold except unless an exemption from the applicable registration requirement under US law is available. Shareholders residing or domiciled in the US may not be able to participate in future capital increases, rights offerings or other issuances of securities by the Company and as such have their shareholdings diluted or not be able to receive economic benefits related to the Shares.

2.4.6 Continued listing may be challenged

The Company has undergone significant changes during the financial year 2024, in particular with respect to the distribution of shares in Aega AS together with all solar parks. Even if the shareholders have rejected a proposed resolution to allow a delisting of the Company's shares from Euronext Expand Oslo and the implemented changes are in line with the Company's disclosed strategy, the Company is required to report on its decision that it wishes to maintain the listing, pursuant to the Oslo Stock Exchange's continuing obligations for listed issuers. Following such report the Company expects to comply with the requirements of the Oslo Stock Exchange, including the conditions for listing and ongoing obligations related to minimum share price, information disclosure and financial criteria. The Company cannot guarantee its ability to meet all relevant listing requirements. Should the Company fail to comply with the requirements of the Oslo Stock Exchange the shares of the Company may ultimately be resolved delisted from Euronext Expand Oslo. This may impact the liquidity in the trading market for the Shares and could have a negative impact on the market price and the investors' ability to sell the Shares.

2.4.7 Major shareholder risk

Subject to completion of the Rights Issue, the shareholder structure of the Company may change significantly. There are 1,259,791,983 outstanding shares prior to the Rights Issue in which up to an additional 2,000,000,000 shares may be issued. The shareholder structure may alter in a material manner following the Rights Issue. This event must, if completed, also be expected to dilute non-participating shareholders significantly, as further illustrated in the table in 5.28 which compares existing shareholders' participation in the Company's share capital and voting rights before and after the Rights Issue.

Any of the above share issues or any subsequent share issues may result in one or more shareholders, or a group of shareholders, obtaining significant influence over the Company. Such shareholders' interests may be contrary to the interests of other shareholders. Any substantial shareholder, by majority or based on representation in any general meeting, or other, may have the ability to exercise a controlling influence over the business and may cause the Group to

take actions that are not in or may conflict with the Company's other shareholders best interest, including matters relating to the Group's management and policies and the election of the Group's directors and senior management. As a result, such shareholder may be able to influence the Group's major policy decisions, including the Group's overall strategic and investment decisions, as well as any other corporate and organisational matter. Any person investing in the shares must consider that it may not be able to exercise influence in an efficient manner and that decisions contrary to its interests may be made by other substantial shareholders.

5.3 Reasons for the Rights Issue and use of the proceeds

The funds raised from the Rights Issue are intended to provide the Company with the necessary liquidity to make investments in accordance with its strategy and to continue to develop the Company. The Board of Directors aims to use the period after the Rights Issue to pursue further potential investments that could generate significant revenue and strengthen the Company`s financial position.

At the date of this Prospectus, the Company cannot predict all of the specific uses for the net proceeds, or the amounts that will actually be spent on the items described above. The exact amounts and the timing of the actual use of the net proceeds will depend on numerous factors, amongst others progress, the nature and specific characteristics of any potential business ventures to be identified and pursued by the Board of Directors.

5.4 Conditions for completion of the Rights Issue

The completion of the Rights Issue, including the issue and delivery of the Offer Shares, is subject to (i) the corporate resolutions of the Company required to implement the Rights Issue, including issue of the Offer Shares, being validly made, (ii) the share capital increase pertaining to the issuance of the allocated Offer Shares being validly registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and the allocated Offer Shares being validly issued and registered in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository - Euronext Securities Oslo ("VPS").

5.7 Record Date for Existing Shareholders

Existing Shareholders who are registered in the Company's shareholder register in the VPS as of the Record Date (2 June 2025) will receive Subscription Rights.

Provided that the delivery of traded Shares was made with ordinary T+2 settlement in the VPS, Shares that were acquired until and including 28 May 2025 will give the right to receive Subscription Rights, whereas Shares that were acquired from and including 30 May 2025 will not give the right to receive Subscription Rights.

5.8 Subscription Rights

The Subscription Rights was credited to and registered on each Existing Shareholder's VPS account on 2 June 2025 under the ISIN NO0013577163. The Subscription Rights will be distributed free of charge to Existing Shareholders. The Subscription Rights are transferable.

The Subscription Rights must be used to subscribe for Offer Shares before the expiry of the Subscription Period on 30 June 2025 at 16:30 hours (CEST). Subscription Rights that are not exercised before 16:30 hours (CEST) on 30 June 2025, will have no value and will lapse without compensation to the holder. Holders of Subscription Rights should note that subscriptions for Offer Shares must be made in accordance with the procedures set out in this Prospectus and that the Subscription Rights does not in itself constitute a subscription of Offer Shares.

Subscription Rights of Existing Shareholders resident in jurisdictions where the Prospectus may not be distributed and/or with legislation that, according to the Company's assessment, prohibits or otherwise restricts subscription for Offer Shares (the "Ineligible Shareholders") will initially be credited to such Ineligible Shareholders' VPS accounts. Such crediting specifically does not constitute an offer to Ineligible Shareholders. The Company will instruct the Settlement Agent to, as far as possible, withdraw the Subscription Rights from such Ineligible Shareholders' VPS accounts, and may sell them in the period from and including 09:00 hours (CEST) on 16 June 2025 to 16:30 hours (CEST) on 24 June 2025 for the account and risk of such Ineligible Shareholders, unless the relevant Subscription Rights are held through a financial intermediary. See Section 5.17 "Financial intermediaries" below for a description of the procedures applicable to Subscription Rights held by Ineligible Shareholders through financial intermediaries.

The Settlement Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to procure that the Subscription Rights withdrawn from the VPS accounts of Ineligible Shareholders (and that are not held through financial intermediaries) are sold on behalf of, and for the benefit of, such Ineligible Shareholders during the above period, provided that (i) the Settlement Agent is able to sell the Subscription Rights at a price at least equal to the anticipated costs related to the sale of such Subscription Rights, and (ii) the relevant Ineligible Shareholder has not by 16:30 hours (CEST) on 24 June 2025 documented to the Company through the Settlement Agent the right to receive the Subscription Rights withdrawn from its VPS account, in which case the Settlement Agent shall re-credit the withdrawn Subscription Rights to the VPS account of the relevant Ineligible Shareholder. The proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Rights (if any), after deduction of customary sales expenses, will be credited to the Ineligible Shareholder's bank account registered in the VPS for payment of dividends, provided that the net proceeds attributable to such Ineligible Shareholder amount to or exceed NOK 200. If an Ineligible Shareholder does not have a bank account registered in the VPS, the Ineligible Shareholder must contact the Settlement Agent to claim the proceeds. If the net proceeds attributable to an Ineligible Shareholder are less than NOK 200, such amount will be retained for the benefit of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Settlement Agent will be able to withdraw and/or sell the Subscription Rights at a profit or at all. Other than as explicitly stated above, neither the Company nor the Settlement Agent will conduct any sale of Subscription Rights not sold before 16:30 hours (CEST) on 24 June 2025 or utilised before the end of the Subscription Period.

5.9 Trading in Subscription Rights

The Subscription Rights will be tradable and listed on Euronext Expand Oslo with ticker code "NOFIT" from and including 09:00 hours (CEST) on 16 June 2025 to 16:30 hours (CEST) on 24 June 2025.

The Subscription Rights will only be tradable during part of the Subscription Period.

Persons intending to trade in Subscription Rights should be aware that the trading in, and exercise of, Subscription Rights by holders who are located in jurisdictions outside Norway may be restricted or prohibited by applicable securities laws. See Section 14 "Selling and transfer restrictions" for a description of such restrictions and prohibitions.

5.10 Subscription Period

The Subscription Period commenced on 16 June 2025 at 09:00 hours (CEST) and end on 30 June 2025 at 16:30 hours (CEST). The Subscription Period may not be shortened, but the Board of Directors may extend the Subscription Period if this is required by law. Subscription of Offer Shares shall be made on a separate subscription form.

5.11 Subscription procedures

Subscriptions for Offer Shares must be made by submitting a correctly completed subscription form, attached hereto as Appendix B "Subscription form for the Rights Issue" (the "Subscription Form") to the Settlement Agent during the Subscription Period, or may, for subscribers who are residents of Norway with a Norwegian personal identification number (Nw. fødselsnummer), be made online as further described below.

Subscriptions for Offer Shares by subscribers who are not Existing Shareholders must also be made on a Subscription Form in the form included in Appendix B "Subscription form for the Rights Issue". Correctly completed Subscription Forms must be received the Settlement Agent at the following address or e-mail address, or in the case of online subscriptions be registered, no later than 16:30 hours (CEST) on 30 June 2025:

Norne Securities AS Haakon VIIs gate 6 NO-0161 Oslo Norway E-mail: [email protected] www.norne.no

Subscribers who are residents of Norway with a Norwegian personal identification number (Nw. fødselsnummer) are encouraged to subscribe for Offer Shares through the VPS online subscription system (or by following the link on www.norne.no/nordicfinancials/ which will redirect the subscriber to the VPS online subscription system). All online subscribers must verify that they are Norwegian residents by entering their national identity number (Nw.: fødselsnummer). In addition, the VPS online subscription system is only available for individual persons and is not available for legal entities and legal entities must thus submit a Subscription Form in order to subscribe for Offer Shares. Subscriptions made through the VPS online subscription system must be duly registered before the expiry of the Subscription Period.

None of the Company or the Settlement Agent may be held responsible for postal delays, unavailable internet lines or servers or other logistical or technical problems that may result in subscriptions not being received in time or at all by the Settlement Agent. Subscription Forms received after the end of the Subscription Period and/or incomplete or incorrect Subscription Forms and any subscription that may be unlawful may be disregarded at the sole discretion of the Company and/or the Settlement Agent without notice to the subscriber.

Subscriptions are binding and irrevocable, and cannot be withdrawn, cancelled or modified by the subscriber after having been received by the Settlement Agent, or in the case of subscriptions through the VPS online subscription system, upon registration of the subscription. The subscriber is responsible for the correctness of the information filled into the Subscription Form or, in case of applications through the VPS online subscription system, the online Subscription Form. By signing and submitting a Subscription Form, or by subscribing via the VPS online subscription system, the subscribers confirm and warrant that they have read this Invitation and are eligible to subscribe for Offer Shares under the terms set forth herein.

There is no minimum subscription amount for which subscriptions in the Rights Issue must be made. Over-subscription (i.e. subscription for more Offer Shares than the number of Subscription Rights held by the subscriber), however, there can be no assurance that Offer Shares will be allocated for such subscriptions.

Multiple subscriptions (i.e. subscriptions on more than one Subscription Form) are allowed. Please note, however, that two separate Subscription Forms submitted by the same subscriber with the same number of Offer Shares subscribed for on both Subscription Forms will only be counted once unless otherwise explicitly stated in one of the Subscription Forms. In the case of multiple subscriptions through the VPS online subscription system or subscriptions made both on a Subscription Form and through the VPS online subscription system, all subscriptions will be counted.

Please note that in the event a subscriber submits two or more Subscription Forms, either by completing the Subscription Form or through VPS, the applicant runs the risk of either having the multiple applications accumulated or either of, or all of the, applications annulled at the discretion of the Company or the Settlement Agent.

All subscriptions in the Rights Issue will be treated in the same manner regardless of whether the subscription is made by delivery of a Subscription Form to the Settlement Agent or through the VPS online subscription system.

All questions concerning the timeliness, validity, form and eligibility of any subscription for Offer Shares will be determined by the board of directors, whose determination will be final and binding. The board of directors, or the Settlement Agent upon being authorised by the board of directors, may in its sole discretion waive any defect or irregularity in the Subscription Forms, permit such defect or irregularity to be corrected within such time as the board of directors or the Settlement Agent may determine, or reject the purported subscription of any Offer Shares.

Neither the board of directors, the Company nor the Settlement Agent will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in connection with the submission of a Subscription Form or assume any liability for failure to give such notification.

5.12 Mandatory Anti-Money Laundering Procedures

The Rights Issue is subject to applicable anti-money laundering legislation, including the Norwegian Money Laundering Act No. 23 of 1 June 2018 and the Norwegian Money Laundering Regulations of No. 1324 of 14 September 2018 (collectively, the "Anti-Money Laundering Legislation").

Subscribers who are not currently registered as customers of the Settlement Agent and who subscribe for a cumulative amount of NOK 100,000 or more may be subject to customer due diligence measures ("KYC") to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. Subscribers who have not completed the required verification of identity prior to the expiry of the Subscription Period will not be allocated Offer Shares.

Furthermore, participation in the Rights Issue is conditional upon the subscriber holding a VPS account. The VPS account number must be stated in the Subscription Form. VPS accounts can be established with authorised VPS registrars, who can be Norwegian banks, authorised securities brokers in Norway and Norwegian branches of credit institutions established within the EEA. However, non-Norwegian investors may use nominee VPS accounts registered in the name of a nominee. The nominee must be authorised by the Norwegian FSA. Establishment of a VPS account requires verification of identification to the VPS registrar in accordance with the Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

5.13 Allocation of the Offer Shares

Allocation of the Offer Shares will take place on or about 1 July 2025 in accordance with the following criteria:

  • (i) Allocation shall be made to subscribers based on granted or acquired subscription rights which have been validly exercised.
  • (ii) If all subscription rights are not exercised, additional allocation shall be made to subscribers who have validly exercised subscription rights and oversubscribed. Such allocation shall be made proportionally based on the number of subscription rights exercised by each such subscriber. To the extent that proportional allocation is not possible, the board of directors shall determine the allocation by drawing lots.
  • (iii) Shares not allocated pursuant to section (i) and (ii) above shall be allocated by the board of directors to subscribers who have subscribed without subscription rights. Such allocation will be sought made proportionally based on the number of shares subscribed by each such subscriber.
  • (iv) Any Offer Shares that are unsubscribed by the end of the Subscription Period, will be subscribed for by the Guarantors up to the minimum subscription amount of 1.333 billion Offer Shares corresponding to gross proceeds of NOK 20 million. See section 5.29 "The Guarantee" for further information.

No fractional shares will be allocated. The number of Subscription Rights granted to each Existing Shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole Subscription Right. The further Company reserves the right to round off, reject or reduce any subscription for Offer Shares not covered by Subscription Rights and will only allocate such Offer Shares to the extent that Offer Shares are available to cover over-subscription based on Subscription Rights.

Allocation of fewer Offer Shares than subscribed for by a subscriber will not impact on the subscriber's obligation to pay for the number of Offer Shares allocated.

The result of the Rights Issue is expected to be published on or about 1 July 2025 in the form of a stock exchange notification from the Company through the Oslo Stock Exchange's information system. Subscribers having access to investor services through their VPS account manager will be able to check the number of Offer Shares allocated to them from 09:00 hours (CEST) on 1 July 2025. Subscribers who do not have access to investor services through their VPS account manager may contact the Settlement Agent from 12:00 hours (CEST) on 1 July 2025 to obtain information about the number of Offer Shares allocated to them. Notifications of allocated Offer Shares and the corresponding subscription amount to be paid by each subscriber are expected to be distributed on or about 1 July 2025.

5.14 Payment for the Offer Shares

The payment for Offer Shares allocated to a subscriber falls due on or about 3 July 2025 (the "Payment Date"). Payment must be made in accordance with the requirements set out in Section 5.14.1 "Subscribers who have a Norwegian bank account" or Section 5.14.2 "Subscribers who do not have a Norwegian bank account ".

5.14.1 Subscribers who have a Norwegian Bank account

Subscribers who have a Norwegian bank account must, and will by signing the Subscription Form or by the online subscription registration for subscriptions through the VPS online subscription system, provide the Settlement Agent with a one-time irrevocable authorisation to debit a specified Norwegian bank account for the amount payable for the Offer Shares which are allocated to the subscriber.

The specified bank account is expected to be debited on or after the Payment Date. The Settlement Agent is only authorized to debit such account once but reserves the right to make up to three debit attempts, and the authorization will be valid for up to seven working days after the Payment Date.

The subscriber furthermore authorizes the Settlement Agent to obtain confirmation from the subscriber's bank that the subscriber has the right to dispose over the specified account and that there are sufficient funds in the account to cover the payment.

If there are insufficient funds in a subscriber's bank account or if it for other reasons is impossible to debit such bank account when a debit attempt is made pursuant to the authorization from the subscriber, the subscriber's obligation to pay for the Offer Shares will be deemed overdue.

Payment by direct debiting is a service that banks in Norway provide in cooperation. In the relationship between the subscriber and the subscriber's bank, the standard terms and conditions for "Payment by Direct Debiting – Securities Trading", which are set out on page 3 of the Subscription Form, will apply.

5.14.2 Subscribers who do not have a Norwegian bank account

Subscribers who do not have a Norwegian bank account must ensure that payment with cleared funds for the Offer Shares allocated to them is made on or before the Payment Date.

Prior to any such payment being made, the subscriber must contact the Settlement Agent through e-mail [email protected] (Norne Securities AS) for further details and instructions.

5.14.3 Overdue payments

Overdue payments will be charged with interest at the applicable rate from time to time under the Norwegian Act on Interest on Overdue Payment of 17 December 1976 No. 100, currently 12.50% per annum as of 1 January 2025. If a subscriber fails to comply with the terms of payment, the Offer Shares will, subject to the restrictions in the Norwegian Public limited Companies Act, not be delivered to such subscriber. The Settlement Agent, on behalf of the Company, reserves the right, at the risk and cost of the subscriber, at any time, to cancel the subscription and to re-allocate or otherwise dispose of allocated Offer Shares for which payment is overdue, or, if payment has not been received by the third day after the Payment Date, without further notice sell, assume ownership to or otherwise dispose of the allocated Offer Shares on such terms and in such manner as the Settlement Agent may decide in accordance with Norwegian law. The subscriber will remain liable for payment of the subscription amount, together with any interest, costs, charges and expenses accrued and the Settlement Agent, on behalf of the Company, may enforce payment for any such amount outstanding in accordance with Norwegian law.

The Company and the Settlement Agent further reserve the right (but have no obligation) to have the Settlement Agent advance the subscription amount on behalf of subscribers who have not paid for the Offer Shares allocated to them within the Payment Date. The non-paying subscribers will remain fully liable for the subscription amount payable for the Offer Shares allocated to them, irrespective of such payment by the Settlement Agent.

5.15 Delivery of the Offer Shares

Subject to timely payment of the entire subscription amount in the Rights Issue, the Company expects that the share capital increase pertaining to the Rights Issue will be registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises on or about 1 July 2025 and that the Offer Shares will be delivered to the VPS accounts of the subscribers to whom they are allocated on or about 1 July 2025. The final deadline for registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the Subsequent Offering with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises, and, hence, for the delivery of the Offer Shares, is, pursuant to the Norwegian Public limited Companies Act, three months from the expiry of the Subscription Period (i.e. three months from 30 June 2025).

Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Settlement Agent will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company does not have any incentive programs.

10.5 Remuneration committee

Currently, there is not established any separate remuneration committee in the Company. Currently the Board of Directors serves as the remuneration committee for the Chief Executive Officer.

10.6 Audit committee

The board has evaluated the need for an audit committee, and for the time being decided that the Board of Directors shall function collectively as the audit committee.

10.7 Nomination committee

The Company's Articles of Association provide for a nomination committee composed of three members. The members of the nomination committee are currently Anders Lillehagen, Fin Serck-Hansen and Thorvald Morris Haraldsen. Pursuant to the Articles of Associations, the nomination committee shall give recommendations for the shareholder elected Board Members, chairman of the Board of Directors, deputy chairman of the Board of Directors, as well as make recommendations for remuneration to the Board Members.

10.8 Conflicts of interests etc.

To the Company's knowledge, there are currently no actual or potential conflicts of interest between the Company and the private interests or other duties of any of the Board Members and members of the Management, including any family relationships between such persons.

Halldor Christen Tjoflaat, the CEO of the Company, has extensive experience serving as both a legal and management advisor and has undertaken the restructuring and managed the liquidation through bankruptcy of several companies on behalf of investors. As a result, Mr. Tjoflaat as chairperson, has during the last five years, been involved in the liquidation through bankruptcy of Fornybar Invest 1 AS, Odelskraft 2 AS, Odelskraft 12 AS, and QLM Invest 11 AS.

The Company believes that Mr. Tjoflaat's involvement in these bankruptcy proceedings does not render him unsuitable for a management role in a company listed on Euronext Expand Oslo. His expertise in navigating complex financial restructurings and liquidations is viewed as an asset, demonstrating his capability to manage challenging business environments effectively.

Other than the above, no Board Member or member of the Management has, or had, as applicable, during the last five years preceding the date of the Prospectus:

  • i. any convictions in relation to fraudulent offences;
  • ii. received any official public incrimination and/or sanctions by any statutory or regulatory authorities (including designated professional bodies) or was disqualified by a court from acting as a member of the administrative, management or supervisory bodies of a company or from acting in the management or conduct of the affairs of any company; or
  • iii. been declared bankrupt or been associated with any bankruptcy, receivership or liquidation in his or her capacity as a founder, member of the administrative body or supervisory body, director or senior manager of a company.

11.9 The Articles of Association and certain aspects of Norwegian corporate law

11.9.1 The General Meeting of the shareholders

Through the general meeting of shareholders, shareholders exercise supreme authority in a Norwegian public limited liability company. In accordance with Norwegian law, the annual general meeting of shareholders is required to be held each year on or prior to 30 June. Norwegian law requires that written notice of annual general meetings setting forth the date and time of, the venue for and the agenda of the meeting be sent to all shareholders with a known address no later than 21 days before the annual general meeting of a Norwegian public limited liability company listed on a stock exchange or a regulated market shall be held, unless the articles of association stipulate a longer deadline, which is not currently the case for the Company.

A shareholder may vote at the general meeting either in person or by proxy appointed at its own discretion. Pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, a proxy voting form shall be appended to the notice of the general meeting of shareholders in a Norwegian public limited liability company listed on a stock exchange or a regulated market unless such form has been made available to the shareholders on the company's website and the notice calling the meeting includes all information the shareholders need to access the proxy voting forms, including the relevant internet address.

Under Norwegian law a shareholder may only exercise rights that pertain to shareholders, including participation in general meetings of shareholders, when it has been registered as a shareholder in the register of shareholders maintained with the VPS. The right to attend and vote at a general meeting of shareholders may only be exercised by a shareholder if it has been entered into the register of shareholders five working days prior to the general meeting, and all shareholders who are registered as such on the date of the general meeting have the right to attend and exercise its voting rights at that meeting.

Apart from the annual general meeting of shareholders, extraordinary general meetings of shareholders may be held if the Board of Directors considers it necessary. An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders must also be convened if, in order to discuss a specified matter, the auditor or shareholders representing at least 5% of the share capital demands this in writing. The requirements for notice and admission to participate in the annual general meeting also apply to extraordinary general meetings.

The shareholders of the Company as of the date of the General Meeting are entitled to attend the General Meeting.

11.9.2 Voting rights

Under Norwegian law and the Articles of Association, each Share carries one vote at General Meetings of the Company. Only shareholders registered as such with the VPS register five days prior to the date of the general meeting are eligible to register, meet and vote at the general meeting. No voting rights can be exercised with respect to any treasury Shares held by the Company.

In general, decisions that shareholders are entitled to make under Norwegian law or the Articles of Association may be made by a simple majority of the votes cast. In the case of elections, the persons who obtain the most votes are elected. However, as required under Norwegian law, certain decisions, including resolutions to set aside preferential rights to subscribe in connection with any share issue, to approve a merger or demerger, to amend the Company's Articles of Association, to authorise an increase or reduction in the share capital, to authorise an issuance of convertible loans or warrants or to authorise the Board of Directors to purchase shares and hold them as treasury shares or to dissolve the Company, must receive the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast as well as at least twothirds of the share capital represented at a General Meeting.

Norwegian law further requires that certain decisions, which have the effect of substantially altering the rights and preferences of any Shares or class of Shares, receive the approval by the holders of such Shares or class of Shares as well as the majority required for amending the Articles of Association. Decisions that (i) would reduce the rights of some or all shareholders in respect of dividend payments or other rights to assets or (ii) restrict the transferability of shares, require that at least 90% of the share capital represented at the general meeting of shareholders in question vote in favour of the resolution, as well as the majority required for amending the articles of association. Certain types of changes in the rights of shareholders require the consent of all shareholders affected thereby as well as the majority required for amending the articles of association. There are no quorum requirements for General Meetings.

Beneficial owners of Shares that are registered in the name of a nominee on a nominee account, must, in order to be eligible to register, meet and vote for such shares at the general meeting, notify the Company in advance about the beneficial owner's contemplated participation at the general meeting. Such notification must be received by the Company at latest two working days prior to the date of the relevant general meeting.

11.9.3 Additional issuances and preferential rights

If the Company issues any new Shares, including bonus shares (i.e. new Shares issued by a transfer from funds that the Company is allowed to use to distribute dividend), the Company's Articles of Association must be amended, which requires the support of at least (i) two thirds of the votes cast and (ii) two thirds of the share capital represented at the relevant General Meeting.

In addition, under Norwegian law, the Company's shareholders have a preferential right to subscribe for the new Shares on a pro rata basis in accordance with their then-current shareholdings in the Company. Preferential rights may be set aside by resolution in a general meeting of shareholders passed by the same vote required to approve amendments of the Articles of Association. Setting aside the shareholders' preferential rights in respect of bonus issues requires the approval of the holders of all outstanding Shares.

The General Meeting of the Company may, in a resolution supported by at least (i) two thirds of the votes cast and (ii) two thirds of the share capital represented at the relevant General Meeting, authorise the Board to issue new Shares. Such authorisation may be effective for a maximum of two years, and the nominal value of the Shares to be issued may not exceed 50% of the nominal share capital at the time the authorisation is registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. The shareholders' preferential right to subscribe for Shares issued against consideration in cash may be set aside by the Board only if the authorisation includes the power for the Board to do so.

Any issue of Shares to shareholders who are citizens or residents of the United States upon the exercise of preferential rights may require the Company to file a registration statement in the United States under U.S. securities law. If the Company decides not to file a registration statement, these shareholders may not be able to exercise their preferential rights.

Under Norwegian law, bonus shares may be issued, subject to shareholder approval and provided, amongst other requirements, that the transfer is made from funds that the Company is allowed to use to distribute dividend. Any bonus issues may be effectuated either by issuing Shares or by increasing the nominal value of the Shares outstanding. If the increase in share capital is to take place by new Shares being issued, these new Shares must be allocated to the shareholders of the Company in proportion to their current shareholdings in the Company.

11.9.4 Minority rights

Norwegian law sets forth a number of protections for minority shareholders against oppression by the majority, including but not limited to those described in this and preceding and following paragraphs. Any shareholder may petition the courts to have a decision of the Board or General Meeting declared invalid on the grounds that it unreasonably favours certain shareholders or third parties to the detriment of other shareholders or the Company itself. In certain grave circumstances, shareholders may require the courts to dissolve the Company as a result of such decisions. Shareholders holding in the aggregate 5% or more of the Company's share capital have a right to demand that the Company convenes an extraordinary General Meeting to discuss or resolve specific matters. In addition, any of the Company's shareholders may in writing demand that the Company place an item on the agenda for any General Meeting as long as the Company's Board is notified within seven days before the deadline for convening the General Meeting and the demand is accompanied with a proposed resolution or a reason for why the item shall be on the agenda. If the notice has been issued when such a written demand is presented, a renewed notice must be issued if the deadline for issuing notice of the General Meeting has not expired.

11.9.5 Rights of redemption and repurchase of shares

The Company has not issued redeemable shares (i.e. shares redeemable without the shareholder's consent).

The Company's share capital may be reduced by reducing the nominal value of the Shares. According to the Norwegian Public limited Liability Companies Act, such decision requires the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast and share capital represented at a General Meeting. Redemption of individual Shares requires the consent of the holders of the Shares to be redeemed.

The Company may purchase its own Shares if an authorisation to the Board to do so has been given by the shareholders at a General Meeting with the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast and share capital represented. The aggregate nominal value of treasury Shares so acquired may not exceed 10% of the Company's share capital, and treasury shares may only be acquired if the Company's distributable equity, according to the latest adopted balance sheet, exceeds the consideration to be paid for the shares. The authorisation by the shareholders at the General Meeting cannot be given for a period exceeding 18 months. A Norwegian public limited liability company may not subscribe for its own shares.

11.9.6 Shareholder vote on certain reorganisations

A decision to merge with another company or to demerge requires a resolution of the Company's shareholders at a General Meeting passed by at least (i) two-thirds of the votes cast and (ii) two-thirds of the share capital represented at the General Meeting. A merger plan, or demerger plan signed by the Board along with certain other required documentation, would have to be sent to all the Company's shareholders or made available to the shareholders on the Company's website, at least one month prior to the General Meeting which will consider the proposed merger or demerger.

11.9.7 Liability of board members

Members of the Board owe a fiduciary duty to the Company and its shareholders. Such fiduciary duty requires that the Board Members act in the best interests of the Company when exercising their functions and exercise a general duty of loyalty and care towards the Company. Their principal task is to safeguard the interests of the Company.

Members of the Board may each be held liable for any damage they negligently or wilfully cause the Company. Norwegian law permits the General Meeting to discharge any such person from liability, but such discharge is not binding on the

Company if substantially correct and complete information was not provided at the General Meeting of the Company's shareholders passing upon the matter. If a resolution to discharge the Company's Board Members from liability or not to pursue claims against such a person has been passed by a General Meeting with a smaller majority than that required to amend the Articles of Association, shareholders representing more than 10% of the share capital or, if there are more than 100 shareholders, more than 10% of the shareholders may pursue the claim on the Company's behalf and in its name. The cost of any such action is not the Company's responsibility but can be recovered from any proceeds the Company receives as a result of the action. If the decision to discharge any of the Company's Board Members from liability or not to pursue claims against the Board Members is made by such a majority as is necessary to amend the Articles of Association, the minority shareholders of the Company cannot pursue such claim in the Company's name.

11.9.8 Indemnification of Board Members

Neither Norwegian law nor the Articles of Association contains any provision concerning indemnification by the Company of the Board. The Company is permitted to purchase insurance for the Board Members against certain liabilities that they may incur in their capacity as such.

11.9.9 Distribution of assets on liquidation

Under Norwegian law, a company may be liquidated by a resolution of the company's shareholders in a general meeting passed by the same vote as required with respect to amendments to the articles of association. The shares rank equally in the event of a return on capital by the company upon liquidation or otherwise.

11.9.10 Shareholder agreements

To the knowledge of the Company, there are no shareholders' agreements related to the Shares.

11.10 Dividends and dividend policy

11.10.1 Dividend policy

On 29 August 2024, the Board of Directors resolved a distribution of dividend in kind of up to 23,791,983 shares in Aega AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to the shareholders of the Company as of close of trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange on 11 September 2024 (and being registered as such in VPS as of close of business on 13 September 2024 pursuant to VPS' standard two days' settlement procedure. The value of the distribution was NOK 59,479,958, equivalent to NOK 2.50 per share in the Company. Shareholders of the Company received one Aega AS share for each share held in the Company as of the record date. The distribution was regarded as repayment of paid in capital by the shareholders of Aega ASA.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Group is an investment group in the process of establishing new investments following the distribution of Aega AS shares and sale of Aega Management AS. Until the Group has established new investments that are profitable, the Company does not expect to pay dividends. Beyond the investment phase, it is the Company's ambition to pay dividends based on the consolidated net profit to be distributed to the shareholders. There can, however, be no assurance that in any given year a dividend will be proposed or declared.

In deciding whether to propose a dividend and in determining the dividend amount, the Company's Board of Directors will take into account legal restrictions, as set out in Section 11.10.2 "Legal Constraints on the Distribution of Dividends", the Group's capital requirements, including capital expenditure requirements, its financial condition, general business conditions and any restrictions that its borrowing arrangements or other contractual arrangements in place at the time of the dividend may place on its ability to pay dividends and the maintaining of appropriate financial flexibility.

11.10.2 Legal constraints on the distribution of dividends

Dividends may be paid in cash, or in some instances, in kind. The Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act provides the following constraints on the distribution of dividends applicable to the Company:

  • Section 8-1 of the Norwegian Public limited Liability Companies Act provides that the Company may distribute dividends to the extent that the Company's net assets following the distribution covers (i) the share capital, (ii) the reserve for valuation variances and (iii) the reserve for unrealised gains. The amount of any receivable held by the Company which is secured by a pledge over Shares in the Company, as well as the aggregate amount of credit and security which, pursuant to Section 8–7 to 8-10 of the Norwegian Public limited Liability Companies Act fall within the limits of distributable equity, shall be deducted from the distributable amount.
  • The calculation of the distributable equity shall be made on the basis of the balance sheet included in the approved annual accounts for the last financial year, provided, however, that the registered share capital as of the date of the resolution to distribute dividends shall be applied. Following the approval of the annual accounts for the last financial year, the General Meeting may also authorise the Board to declare dividends on the basis of the Company's audited annual accounts. Dividends may also be resolved by the General Meeting based on an interim balance sheet which has been prepared and audited in accordance with the provisions applying to the annual accounts and with a balance sheet date not further into the past than six months before the date of the General Meeting's resolution.
  • Dividends can only be distributed to the extent that the Company's equity and liquidity following the distribution is considered sound by the board of directors, acting prudently.

In deciding whether to propose a dividend and in determining the dividend amount, the Board of Directors will take into account legal restrictions, as set out in the Norwegian Public limited Liability Companies Act, the Company's capital requirements, including capital expenditure requirements, its financial condition, general business conditions and any restrictions that its contractual arrangements in place at the time of the dividend may place on its ability to pay dividends and the maintaining of appropriate financial flexibility. Except in certain specific and limited circumstances set out in the Norwegian Public limited Liability Companies Act, the amount of dividends paid may not exceed the amount recommended by the Board of Directors.

The Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act does not provide for any time limit after which entitlement to dividends lapses. Subject to various exceptions, Norwegian law provides a limitation period of three years from the date on which an obligation is due. There are no dividend restrictions or specific procedures for non-Norwegian resident shareholders to claim dividends. For a description of withholding tax on dividends applicable to non-Norwegian residents, see Section 13 "Taxation".

11.10.3 Manner of dividend payment

Any future payments of dividends on the Shares will be denominated in NOK, and will be paid to the shareholders through the VPS. Investors registered in the VPS whose address is outside Norway and who have not supplied the VPS with details of any NOK account or linked a local cash account and swift address to their local bank, will however receive dividends by cheque in their local currency, as exchanged from the NOK amount distributed through the VPS. If it is not practical in the sole opinion of DNB Bank ASA, being the Company's VPS registrar, to issue a cheque in a local currency, a cheque will be issued in USD. The issuing and mailing of cheques will be executed in accordance with the standard procedures of DNB Bank ASA. The exchange rate(s) that currently is applied is DNB Bank ASAs rate on the date of issuance. Dividends will be credited automatically to the VPS registered shareholders' NOK accounts, or in lieu of such registered NOK account, by cheque, without the need for shareholders to present documentation proving their ownership of the Shares.

12 SECURITIES TRADING IN NORWAY – EURONEXT EXPAND OSLO

Set out below is a summary of certain aspects of securities trading in in Norway in a Norwegian incorporated company pursuant to Norwegian legislation. The summary is based on the rules and regulations in force in Norway as at the date of this Prospectus, which may be subject to changes occurring after such date. The summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of securities trading in Norway. The following summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the legal considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of Shares. Investors are advised to consult their own legal advisors concerning the overall legal consequences of their ownership of Shares.

12.1 Introduction

Euronext Expand Oslo is a regulated market operated by Oslo Børs ASA. Oslo Børs ASA was established in 1819 and offers the only markets for securities trading in Norway through different marketplaces; Euronext Oslo Børs, Euronext Expand, Euronext Growth Oslo, Nordic ABM and NOTC.

Oslo Børs ASA is 100% owned by Euronext Nordics Holding AS, a holding company established by Euronext N.V following its acquisition of Oslo Børs ASA VPS Holding ASA in June 2019. Euronext owns eight regulated markets across Europe, including Milan, Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, London, Oslo and Paris.

12.2 Trading and settlement

Investment services in Norway may only be provided by Norwegian investment firms holding a license under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, branches of investment firms from an EEA member state or investment firms from outside the EEA that have been licensed to operate in Norway. Investment firms in an EEA member state may also provide cross-border investment services into Norway.

It is possible for investment firms to undertake market-making activities in shares listed in Norway if they have a license to this effect under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, or in the case of investment firms in an EEA member state, a license to carry out market-making activities in their home jurisdiction. Such market-making activities will be governed by the regulations of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act relating to brokers' trading for their own account. However, marketmaking activities do not as such require notification to the Norwegian FSA or Oslo Børs ASA except for the general obligation of investment firms being members of Oslo Børs ASA to report all trades in listed securities.

12.3 Information, control and surveillance

Under Norwegian law, Oslo Børs ASA is required to perform a number of surveillance and control functions as operator of Euronext Expand Oslo. The Surveillance and Corporate Control unit of Oslo Børs ASA monitors market activity on a continuous basis. Market surveillance systems are largely automated, promptly warning department personnel of abnormal market developments.

The Norwegian FSA controls the issuance of securities in both the equity and bond markets in Norway and evaluates whether the issuance documentation contains the required information and whether it would otherwise be unlawful to carry out the issuance.

Under Norwegian law, a company that is listed on a Norwegian regulated market or a multilateral trading facility, including Euronext Expand Oslo, or has applied for listing on such market, must promptly release any inside information directly concerning the company (i.e. precise information about financial instruments, the issuer thereof or other matters which are likely to have a significant effect on the price of the relevant financial instruments or related financial instruments, and which are not publicly available or commonly known in the market). A company may, however, delay the release of such information in order not to prejudice its legitimate interests, provided that it is able to ensure the confidentiality of the information and that the delayed release would not be likely to mislead the public. Both of Oslo Børs ASA and the Norwegian FSA may levy fines on companies violating these requirements.

12.4 The VPS and transfer of Shares

The Company's shareholder register is operated through the VPS. The VPS is the Norwegian paperless centralised securities register. It is a computerised bookkeeping system in which the ownership of, and all transactions relating to, Norwegian listed shares must be recorded. All transactions relating to securities registered with the VPS are made through computerised book entries. No physical share certificates are, or may be, issued. The VPS confirms each entry by sending a transcript to the registered shareholder irrespective of any beneficial ownership. To give effect to such entries, the individual shareholder must establish a share account with a Norwegian account agent. Norwegian banks, authorised securities brokers in Norway and Norwegian branches of credit institutions established within the EEA are allowed to act as account agents.

The entry of a transaction in the VPS is generally prima facie evidence in determining the legal rights of parties as against the issuing company or any third party claiming an interest in the given security.

The VPS is liable for any loss suffered as a result of faulty registration or an amendment to, or deletion of, rights in respect of registered securities unless the error is caused by matters outside the VPS' control which the VPS could not reasonably be expected to avoid or overcome the consequences of. Damages payable by the VPS may, however, be reduced in the event of contributory negligence by the aggrieved party. VPS's liability is capped at NOK 500 million.

The VPS must provide information to the Norwegian FSA on an on-going basis, as well as any information that the Norwegian FSA requests. Further, Norwegian tax authorities may require certain information from the VPS regarding any individual's holdings of securities, including information about dividends and interest payments.

12.5 Shareholder register – Norwegian law

Under Norwegian law, shares are registered in the name of the beneficial owner of the shares. As a general rule, there are no arrangements for nominee registration and Norwegian shareholders are not allowed to register their shares in the VPS through a nominee. However, foreign shareholders may register their shares in the VPS in the name of a nominee (bank or another nominee) approved by the Norwegian FSA. An approved and registered nominee has a duty to provide information on demand about beneficial shareholders to the company and to the Norwegian authorities. In case of registration by nominees, the registration in the VPS must show that the registered owner is a nominee. A registered nominee has the right to receive dividends and other distributions but cannot vote in general meetings on behalf of the beneficial owners. Beneficial owners of Shares that are registered on a nominee account may, subject to notification received by the Company, as further stipulated in Section 11.9.2, register, meet and vote at the general meeting.

12.6 Foreign investment in shares listed in Norway

Foreign investors may trade shares listed on Euronext Expand Oslo through any broker that is a member of the Oslo Børs ASA, whether Norwegian or foreign.

12.7 Disclosure obligations

If a person's, entity's or consolidated group's proportion of the total issued shares and/or rights to shares in an issuer with its shares listed on a regulated market in Norway (with Norway as its home state, which will be the case for the Company) reaches, exceeds or falls below the respective thresholds of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 1/3, 50%, 2/3 or 90% of the share capital or the voting rights of that issuer, the person, entity or group in question has an obligation under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act to notify Oslo Børs ASA and the issuer immediately. The same applies if the disclosure thresholds are passed due to other circumstances, such as a change in the Company's share capital.

12.8 Insider trading

According to Norwegian law and the EEA agreement appendix IX (EU) no. 596/2014 (the "Market Abuse Regulation") incorporated into Norwegian law pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act Section 3-1, subscription for, purchase, sale or exchange of financial instruments that are listed, or subject to the application for listing, on a Norwegian regulated market or multilateral trading facility, or incitement to such dispositions, must not be undertaken by anyone who has inside information, as defined in the Market Abuse Regulation article 7. The same applies to the entry into, purchase, sale or exchange of options or futures/forward contracts or equivalent rights whose value is connected to such financial instruments or incitement to such dispositions.

12.9 Mandatory offer requirement

The Norwegian Securities Trading Act requires any person, entity or consolidated group that becomes the owner of shares representing more than one-third of the voting rights of a company listed on a Norwegian regulated market (with the exception of certain foreign companies not including the Company) to, within four weeks, make an unconditional general offer for the purchase of the remaining shares in that company. A mandatory offer obligation may also be triggered where a party acquires the right to become the owner of shares that, together with the party's own shareholding, represent more than one-third of the voting rights in the company and the Norwegian FSA decides that this is regarded as an effective acquisition of the shares in question.

The mandatory offer obligation ceases to apply if the person, entity or consolidated group sells the portion of the shares that exceeds the relevant threshold within four weeks of the date on which the mandatory offer obligation was triggered.

When a mandatory offer obligation is triggered, the person subject to the obligation is required to immediately notify Oslo Børs ASA and the company in question accordingly. The notification is required to state whether an offer will be made to acquire the remaining shares in the company or whether a sale will take place. As a rule, a notification to the effect that an offer will be made cannot be retracted. The offer and the offer document required are subject to approval by the Norwegian FSA before the offer is submitted to the shareholders or made public.

The offer price per share must be at least as high as the highest price paid or agreed by the offeror for the shares in the six-month period prior to the date the threshold was exceeded. If the acquirer acquires or agrees to acquire additional shares at a higher price prior to the expiration of the mandatory offer period, the acquirer is obliged to restate its offer at such higher price. A mandatory offer must be in cash or contain a cash alternative at least equivalent to any other consideration offered.

In case of failure to make a mandatory offer or to sell the portion of the shares that exceeds the relevant threshold within four weeks, the Norwegian FSA may force the acquirer to sell the shares exceeding the threshold by public auction. Moreover, a shareholder who fails to make an offer may not, as long as the mandatory offer obligation remains in force, exercise rights in the company, such as voting in a general meeting, without the consent of a majority of the remaining

shareholders. The shareholder may, however, exercise his/her/its rights to dividends and pre-emption rights in the event of a share capital increase. If the shareholder neglects his/her/its duty to make a mandatory offer, the Norwegian FSA may impose a cumulative daily fine that runs until the circumstance has been rectified.

Any person, entity or consolidated group that owns shares representing more than one-third of the votes in a company listed on a Norwegian regulated market (with the exception of certain foreign companies not including the Company) is obliged to make an offer to purchase the remaining shares of the company (repeated offer obligation) if the person, entity or consolidated group through acquisition becomes the owner of shares representing 40%, or more of the votes in the company. The same applies correspondingly if the person, entity or consolidated group through acquisition becomes the owner of shares representing 50% or more of the votes in the company. The mandatory offer obligation ceases to apply if the person, entity or consolidated group sells the portion of the shares which exceeds the relevant threshold within four weeks of the date on which the mandatory offer obligation was triggered.

Any person, entity or consolidated group that has passed any of the above mentioned thresholds in such a way as not to trigger the mandatory bid obligation, and has therefore not previously made an offer for the remaining shares in the company in accordance with the mandatory offer rules is, as a main rule, obliged to make a mandatory offer in the event of a subsequent acquisition of shares in the company.

12.10 Compulsory acquisition

Pursuant to the Norwegian Public Companies Act and the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, a shareholder who, directly or through subsidiaries, acquires shares representing 90% or more of the total number of issued shares in a Norwegian public limited company, as well as 90% or more of the total voting rights, has a right, and each remaining minority shareholder of the issuer has a right to require such majority shareholder, to effect a compulsory acquisition for cash of the shares not already owned by such majority shareholder. Through such compulsory acquisition the majority shareholder becomes the owner of the remaining shares with immediate effect.

If a shareholder acquires shares representing 90% or more of the total number of issued shares, as well 90% or more of the total voting rights, through a voluntary offer in accordance with the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, a compulsory acquisition can, subject to the following conditions, be carried out without such shareholder being obliged to make a mandatory offer: (i) the compulsory acquisition is commenced no later than four weeks after the acquisition of shares through the voluntary offer, (ii) the price offered per share is equal to or higher than what the offer price would have been in a mandatory offer, and (iii) the settlement is guaranteed by a financial institution authorised to provide such guarantees in Norway.

A majority shareholder who effects a compulsory acquisition is required to offer the minority shareholders a specific price per share, the determination of which is at the discretion of the majority shareholder. However, where the offeror, after making a mandatory or voluntary offer, has acquired 90% or more of the voting shares of an issuer and a corresponding proportion of the votes that can be cast at the general meeting, and the offeror pursuant to section 4-25 of the Norwegian Public Companies Act completes a compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares within three months after the expiry of the offer period, it follows from the Norwegian Securities Trading Act that the redemption price shall be determined on the basis of the offer price for the mandatory and/or voluntary offer unless specific reasons indicate that another price is the fair price.

Should any minority shareholder not accept the offered price, such minority shareholder may, within a specified deadline of not less than two months, request that the price be set by a Norwegian court. The cost of such court procedure will, as a general rule, be the responsibility of the majority shareholder, and the relevant court will have full discretion in determining the consideration to be paid to the minority shareholder as a result of the compulsory acquisition.

Absent a request for a Norwegian court to set the price, or any other objection to the price being offered in a compulsory acquisition, the minority shareholders would be deemed to have accepted the offered price after the expiry of the specified deadline for raising objections to the price offered in the compulsory acquisition.

12.11 Foreign exchange controls

There are currently no foreign exchange control restrictions in Norway that would potentially restrict the payment of dividends to a shareholder outside Norway, and there are currently no restrictions that would affect the right of shareholders of a company that has its shares registered with the VPS who are not residents in Norway to dispose of their shares and receive the proceeds from a disposal outside Norway. There is no maximum transferable amount either to or from Norway, although transferring banks are required to submit reports on foreign currency exchange transactions into and out of Norway into a central data register maintained by the Norwegian customs and excise authorities. The Norwegian police, tax authorities, customs and excise authorities, the National Insurance Administration and the Norwegian FSA have electronic access to the data in this register.

13 TAXATION

Set out below is a summary of certain Norwegian tax matters related to an investment in the Company. The summary regarding Norwegian taxation are based on the laws in force in Norway as of the date of this Prospectus, which may be subject to any changes in law occurring after such date. Such changes could possibly be made on a retrospective basis.

The following summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of Shares. Shareholders who wish to clarify their own tax situation should consult with and rely upon their own tax advisors.

SHAREHOLDERS RESIDENT IN JURISDICTIONS OTHER THAN NORWAY AND SHAREHOLDERS WHO CEASE TO BE RESIDENT IN NORWAY FOR TAX PURPOSES (DUE TO DOMESTIC TAX LAW OR TAX TREATY) SHOULD SPECIFICALLY CONSULT WITH AND RELY UPON THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX POSITION IN THEIR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATED TO CEASING TO BE RESIDENT IN NORWAY FOR TAX PURPOSES.

Please note that for the purpose of the summary below, a reference to a Norwegian or non-Norwegian shareholder refers to the tax residency rather than the nationality of the shareholder.

The tax legislation in the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation and the tax legislation in the jurisdictions in which the shareholders are resident for tax purposes may have an impact on the income received from the Shares.

13.1 Norwegian taxation

13.2 Taxation of dividend

Norwegian Personal Shareholders

Dividends distributed to shareholders who are individuals resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Norwegian Personal Shareholders") are taxable in Norway for such shareholders at an effective tax rate of 37.84% to the extent the dividend exceeds a tax-free allowance; i.e. dividends received, less the tax free allowance, shall be multiplied by 1.72 which are then included as ordinary income taxable at a flat rate of 22%, increasing the effective tax rate on dividends received by Norwegian Personal Shareholders to 37.84%.

The allowance is calculated on a share-by-share basis. The allowance for each share is equal to the cost price of the share multiplied by a risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is calculated based on the interest on treasury bills (Nw.: statskasseveksler) with three months' maturity plus 0.5 percentage points, adjusted downwards by 22% to adjust for tax. The allowance is calculated for each calendar year, and is allocated solely to Norwegian Personal Shareholders holding shares at the expiration of the relevant calendar year.

Norwegian Personal Shareholders who transfer shares will thus not be entitled to deduct any calculated allowance related to the year of transfer. Any part of the calculated allowance one year exceeding the dividend distributed on the share ("excess allowance") may be carried forward and set off against future dividends received on, or gains upon realisation of, the same share. Any excess allowance will also be included in the basis for calculating the allowance on the same share in the following years.

Norwegian Personal Shareholders may hold the shares through a Norwegian share saving account (Nw.: aksjesparekonto). Dividends received on shares held through a share saving account will not be taxed with immediate effect. Instead, withdrawal of funds from the share saving account exceeding the paid in deposit will be regarded as taxable income, regardless of whether the funds are derived from gains or dividends related to the shares held in the account. Such income

will be taxed with an effective tax rate of 37.84%, cf. above. Norwegian Personal Shareholders will still be entitled to a calculated tax-free allowance. Please refer to Section 13.1.2 "Taxation of capital gains on realisation of shares" for further information in respect of Norwegian share saving accounts.

Norwegian Corporate Shareholders

Dividends distributed to shareholders who are limited liability companies (and certain similar entities) resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Norwegian Corporate Shareholders"), are effectively taxed at rate of 0.66% (3% of dividend income from such shares is included in the calculation of ordinary income for Norwegian Corporate Shareholders and ordinary income is subject to tax at a flat rate of 22%).

Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholders

Dividends distributed to shareholders who are individuals not resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholders"), are as a general rule subject to withholding tax at a rate of 25%. The withholding tax rate of 25% is normally reduced through tax treaties between Norway and the country in which the shareholder is resident. The withholding obligation lies with the company distributing the dividends and the Company assumes this obligation.

Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholders resident within the EEA for tax purposes may apply individually to Norwegian tax authorities for a refund of an amount corresponding to the calculated tax-free allowance on each individual share (please refer to "Taxation of dividends – Norwegian Personal Shareholders" above). However, the deduction for the tax-free allowance does not apply in the event that the withholding tax rate, pursuant to an applicable tax treaty, leads to a lower taxation on the dividends than the withholding tax rate of 25% less the tax-free allowance.

If a Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholder is carrying on business activities in Norway and the shares are effectively connected with such activities, the shareholder will be subject to the same taxation of dividends as a Norwegian Personal Shareholder, as described above.

Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholders who have suffered a higher withholding tax than set out in an applicable tax treaty may apply to the Norwegian tax authorities for a refund of the excess withholding tax deducted.

Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders

Dividends distributed to shareholders who are limited liability companies (and certain other entities) not resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders"), are as a general rule subject to withholding tax at a rate of 25%. The withholding tax rate of 25% is normally reduced through tax treaties between Norway and the country in which the shareholder is resident.

Dividends distributed to Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders resident within the EEA for tax purposes are exempt from Norwegian withholding tax provided that the shareholder is the beneficial owner of the shares and that the shareholder is genuinely established and performs genuine economic business activities within the relevant EEA jurisdiction.

If a Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholder is carrying on business activities in Norway and the shares are effectively connected with such activities, the shareholder will be subject to the same taxation of dividends as a Norwegian Corporate Shareholder, as described above.

Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders who have suffered a higher withholding tax than set out in an applicable tax treaty may apply to the Norwegian tax authorities for a refund of the excess withholding tax deducted. The same will apply to NonNorwegian Corporate Shareholders who have suffered withholding tax although qualifying for the Norwegian participation exemption.

All Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders must document their entitlement to a reduced withholding tax rate by either (i) presenting an approved withholding tax refund application or (ii) present an approval from the Norwegian tax authorities confirming that the recipient is entitled to a reduced withholding tax rate. In addition, a certificate of residence issued by the tax authorities in the shareholder's country of residence, confirming that the shareholder is resident in that state, must be obtained. The documentation must be provided to either the nominee or the account operator (VPS).

The withholding obligation in respect of dividends distributed to Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders and on nominee registered shares lies with the company distributing the dividends and the Company assumes this obligation.

Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders should consult their own advisers regarding the availability of treaty benefits in respect of dividend payments, including the possibility of effectively claiming a refund of withholding tax.

13.3 Taxation of capital gains on realisation of shares

Norwegian Personal Shareholders

Sale, redemption or other disposal of shares is considered a realisation for Norwegian tax purposes. A capital gain or loss generated by a Norwegian Personal Shareholder through a disposal of shares is taxable or tax deductible in Norway. The effective tax rate on gain or loss related to shares realised by Norwegian Personal Shareholders is currently 37.84%; i.e. capital gains (less the tax free allowance) and losses shall be multiplied by 1.72 which are then included in or deducted from the Norwegian Personal Shareholder's ordinary income in the year of disposal. Ordinary income is taxable at a flat rate of 22%, increasing the effective tax rate on gains/losses realised by Norwegian Personal Shareholders to 37.84%.

The gain is subject to tax and the loss is tax deductible irrespective of the duration of the ownership and the number of shares disposed of.

The taxable gain/deductible loss is calculated per share as the difference between the consideration for the share and the Norwegian Personal Shareholder's cost price of the share, including costs incurred in relation to the acquisition or realisation of the share. From this capital gain, Norwegian Personal Shareholders are entitled to deduct a calculated allowance provided that such allowance has not already been used to reduce taxable dividend income. Please refer to Section 13.2 "Taxation of dividends"-"Norwegian Personal Shareholders" above for a description of the calculation of the allowance. The allowance may only be deducted in order to reduce a taxable gain, and cannot increase or produce a deductible loss, i.e. any unused allowance exceeding the capital gain upon the realisation of a share will be annulled.

If the Norwegian Personal Shareholder owns shares acquired at different points in time, the shares that were acquired first will be regarded as the first to be disposed of, on a first-in first-out basis.

Gains derived upon the realization of shares held through a share saving account will be exempt from immediate Norwegian taxation and losses will not be tax deductible. Instead, withdrawal of funds from the share saving account exceeding the Norwegian Personal Shareholder's paid in deposit, will be regarded as taxable income, subject to tax at an effective tax rate of 37,84 %.Norwegian Personal Shareholders will be entitled to a calculated tax-free allowance provided that such allowance has not already been used to reduce taxable dividend income, please refer to Section 13.2 "Taxation of dividends"–- "Norwegian Personal Shareholders" above. The tax-free allowance is calculated based on the lowest paid in deposit in the account during the income year, plus any unused tax-free allowance from previous years. The tax-free allowance can only be deducted in order to reduce taxable income, and cannot increase or produce a deductible loss. Any Excess Allowance may be carried forward and set off against future withdrawals from the account or future dividends received on shares held through the account. Norwegian Personal Shareholders holding shares through more than one share saving account may transfer their shares or securities between the share saving accounts without incurring Norwegian taxation.

Norwegian Corporate Shareholders

Norwegian Corporate Shareholders are exempt from tax on capital gains derived from the realisation of shares qualifying for participation exemption, including shares in the Company. Losses upon the realisation and costs incurred in connection with the purchase and realisation of such shares are not deductible for tax purposes.

Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholders

Gains from the sale or other disposal of shares by a Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholder will not be subject to taxation in Norway unless the Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholder holds the shares in connection with business activities carried out or managed from Norway.

Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders

Capital gains derived by the sale or other realisation of shares by Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders are not subject to taxation in Norway.

13.4 Net wealth tax

The value of shares is included in the basis for the computation of net wealth tax imposed on Norwegian Personal Shareholders. Currently, the marginal net wealth tax rate for net wealth exceeding NOK 1.7 million is 1% of the value assessed, and 1.1% of assessed net values exceeding NOK 20 million. The value for assessment purposes for listed shares is equal to 80% of the listed value as of 1 January in the year of assessment (i.e. the year following the relevant fiscal year). The value of debt allocated to the listed shares for Norwegian wealth tax purposes is reduced correspondingly (i.e. to 80%).

Norwegian Corporate Shareholders are not subject to net wealth tax.

Shareholders not resident in Norway for tax purposes are not subject to Norwegian net wealth tax. Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholders can, however, be taxable if the shareholding is effectively connected to the conduct of trade or business in Norway.

13.5 VAT and transfer taxes

No VAT, stamp or similar duties are currently imposed in Norway on the transfer or issuance of shares.

13.6 Inheritance tax

A transfer of shares through inheritance or as a gift does not give rise to inheritance or gift tax in Norway.

14 SELLING AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

14.1 General

The grant of Subscription Rights and issue of Offer Shares upon exercise of Subscription Rights and the offer of unsubscribed Offer Shares to persons resident in, or who are citizens of countries other than Norway, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction. Investors should consult their professional advisors as to whether they require any governmental or other consents or need to observe any other formalities to enable them to exercise Subscription Rights or purchase Offer Shares.

The Subscription Rights and Offer Shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state or jurisdiction of the United States, and may not be offered, sold, pledged, resold, granted, delivered, allocated, taken up, transferred or delivered, directly or indirectly, within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with the applicable securities laws of any state or jurisdiction of the United States. Receipt of this Prospectus will not constitute an offer in those jurisdictions in which it would be illegal to make an offer and, in those circumstances, this Prospectus is for information only and should not be copied or redistributed. Except as otherwise disclosed in this Prospectus, if an investor receives a copy of this Prospectus in any territory, such investor may not treat this Prospectus as constituting an invitation or offer to it, nor should the investor in any event deal in the Subscription Rights and Offer Shares, unless, in the relevant jurisdiction, such an invitation or offer could lawfully be made to that investor, or the Subscription Rights and Offer Shares could lawfully be dealt in without contravention of any unfulfilled registration or other legal requirements. Accordingly, if an investor receives a copy of this Prospectus, the investor should not distribute or send the same, or transfer the Subscription Rights and Offer Shares to any person or in or into any jurisdiction where to do so would or might contravene local securities laws or regulations. If the investor forwards this Prospectus into any such territories (whether under a contractual or legal obligation or otherwise), the investor should direct the recipient's attention to the contents of this Section.

Except as otherwise noted in this Prospectus and subject to certain exceptions: (i) the Subscription Rights and Offer Shares being granted or offered, respectively, in the Rights Issue may not be offered, sold, resold, transferred or delivered, directly or indirectly, in or into, Member States of the EEA that have not implemented the Prospectus Directive, Australia, Canada, Japan, the United States or any other jurisdiction in which it would not be permissible to offer the Subscription Rights and/or the Offer Shares (the "Ineligible Jurisdictions"); (ii) this Prospectus may not be sent to any person in any Ineligible Jurisdiction; and (iii) the crediting of Subscription Rights to an account of an holder or other person who is a resident of an Ineligible Jurisdiction (referred to as "Ineligible Persons") does not constitute an offer to such persons of the Subscription Rights or the Offer Shares. Ineligible Persons may not exercise Subscription Rights.

If an investor takes up, delivers or otherwise transfers Subscription Rights, exercises Subscription Rights to obtain Offer Shares or trades or otherwise deals in the Subscription Rights and Offer Shares pursuant to this Prospectus, unless the Company in its sole discretion determines otherwise on a case-by-case basis, that investor will be deemed to have made or, in some cases, be required to make, the following representations and warranties to the Company and any person acting on the Company's or its behalf:

  • (i) the investor is not located in an Ineligible Jurisdiction;
  • (ii) the investor is not an Ineligible Person;
  • (iii) the investor is not acting, and has not acted, for the account or benefit of an Ineligible Person;
  • (iv) the investor acknowledges that the Company is not taking any action to permit a public Rights Issue of the Subscription Rights or the Offer Shares (pursuant to the exercise of the Subscription Rights or otherwise) in any jurisdiction other than Norway; and
  • (v) the investor may lawfully be offered, take up, subscribe for and receive Subscription Rights and Offer Shares in the jurisdiction in which it resides or is currently located.

The Company and the Settlement Agent and their affiliates and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the above acknowledgements, agreements and representations, and agree that, if any of the acknowledgements, agreements or representations deemed to have been made by its purchase of Offer Shares is no longer accurate, it will promptly notify the Company and the Settlement Agent. Any provision of false information or subsequent breach of these representations and warranties may subject the investor to liability.

If a person is acting on behalf of a holder of Subscription Rights (including, without limitation, as a nominee, custodian or trustee), that person will be required to provide the foregoing representations and warranties to the Company with respect to the exercise of Subscription Rights on behalf of the holder. If such person cannot or is unable to provide the foregoing representations and warranties, the Company will not be bound to authorise the allocation of any of the Subscription Rights and Offer Shares to that person or the person on whose behalf the other is acting. Subject to the specific restrictions described below, if an investor (including, without limitation, its nominees and trustees) is located outside Norway and wishes to exercise or otherwise deal in or subscribe for Subscription Rights and/or Offer Shares, the investor must satisfy itself as to full observance of the applicable laws of any relevant territory including obtaining any requisite governmental or other consents, observing any other requisite formalities and paying any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such territories.

The information set out in this Section is intended as a general guide only. If the investor is in any doubt as to whether it is eligible to exercise its Subscription Rights or subscribe for the Offer Shares, such investor should consult its professional advisor without delay.

Subscription Rights will initially be credited to financial intermediaries for the accounts of all shareholders who hold Shares registered through a financial intermediary on the Record Date. Subject to certain exceptions, financial intermediaries, which include brokers, custodians and nominees, may not exercise any Subscription Rights on behalf of any person in the Ineligible Jurisdictions or any Ineligible Persons and may be required in connection with any exercise of Subscription Rights to provide certifications to that effect.

Financial intermediaries may sell any and all Subscription Rights held for the benefit of Ineligible Persons to the extent permitted under their arrangements with such Ineligible Persons and applicable law and remit the net proceeds to the accounts of such Ineligible Persons. Subject to certain exceptions, financial intermediaries are not permitted to send this Prospectus or any other information about the Rights Issue into any Ineligible Jurisdiction or to any Ineligible Persons.

Subject to certain exceptions, exercise instructions or certifications sent from or postmarked in any Ineligible Jurisdiction will be deemed to be invalid and Offer Shares will not be delivered to an addressee in any Ineligible Jurisdiction. The Company reserves the right to reject any exercise (or revocation of such exercise) in the name of any person who provides an address in an Ineligible Jurisdiction for acceptance, revocation of exercise or delivery of such Subscription Rights and Offer Shares, who is unable to represent or warrant that such person is not in an Ineligible Jurisdiction and is not an Ineligible Person, who is acting on a non-discretionary basis for such persons, or who appears to the Company or its agents to have executed its exercise instructions or certifications in, or dispatched them from, an Ineligible Jurisdiction. Furthermore, the Company reserves the right, with sole and absolute discretion, to treat as invalid any exercise or purported exercise of Subscription Rights which appears to have been executed, effected or dispatched in a manner that may involve a breach or violation of the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Prospectus, the Company reserves the right to permit a holder to exercise its Subscription Rights if the Company, in its absolute discretion, is satisfied that the transaction in question is exempt from or not subject to the laws or regulations giving rise to the restrictions in question. Applicable exemptions in certain jurisdictions are described further below. In any such case, the Company does not accept any liability for any actions that a holder takes or for any consequences that it may suffer as a result of the Company accepting the holder's exercise of Subscription Rights.

No action has been or will be taken by the Settlement Agent to permit the possession of this Prospectus (or any other Rights Issue or publicity materials or application form(s) relating to the Rights Issue) in any jurisdiction where such distribution may lead to a breach of any law or regulatory requirement.

Neither the Company nor the Settlement Agent, nor any of their respective representatives, is making any representation to any offeree, subscriber or purchaser of Subscription Rights and/or Offer Shares regarding the legality of an investment in the Subscription Rights and/or the Offer Shares by such offeree, subscriber or purchaser under the laws applicable to such offeree, subscriber or purchaser. Each investor should consult its own advisors before subscribing for Offer Shares or purchasing Subscription Rights.

As a consequence of the following restrictions, prospective investors are advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or other transfer of the Shares offered hereby. The Company is not taking any action to permit a public Rights Issue of the Shares in any jurisdiction. Receipt of this Prospectus will not constitute an offer in those jurisdictions in which it would be illegal to make an offer, and, in those circumstances, this Prospectus is for information only and should not be copied or redistributed. Except as otherwise disclosed in this Prospectus, if an investor receives a copy of this Prospectus in any jurisdiction other than Norway, the investor may not treat this Prospectus as constituting an invitation or offer to it, nor should the investor in any event deal in the Shares, unless, in the relevant jurisdiction, such an invitation or offer could lawfully be made to that investor, or the Shares could lawfully be dealt in without contravention of any unfulfilled registration or other legal requirements. Accordingly, if an investor receives a copy of this Prospectus, the investor should not distribute or send the same, or transfer Shares, to any person or in or into any jurisdiction where to do so would or might contravene local securities laws or regulations.

  • (i) the purchaser is, and the person, if any, for whose account or benefit the purchaser is exercising the Subscription Rights or acquiring the Offer Shares is, outside the United States at the time the exercise or buy order for the Subscription Rights or the Offer Shares is originated and continues to be located outside the United States, and the person, if any, for whose account or benefit the purchaser is exercising the Subscription Rights or acquiring the Offer Shares reasonably believes that the purchaser is outside the United States, and neither the purchaser nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been pre-arranged with a buyer in the United States;
  • (ii) the Subscription Rights and Offer Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States, and, subject to certain exceptions, may not be offered or sold within the United States; and

Each Subscription Right will, subject to applicable securities laws, give the right to subscribe for, and be allocated, one (1) Offer Share. Over-subscription with Subscription Rights (i.e., subscription for more Offer Shares than the number of Subscription Rights held by the subscriber) are allowed. However, in each case, there can be no assurance that Offer Shares will be allocated for such subscriptions. Subscription without Subscription Rights is permitted. Subscription Rights that are not used to subscribe for Offer Shares before the expiry of the Subscription Period (i.e., 30 June 2025 at 16:30 hours (CEST)) or not sold before 24 June 2025 at 16:30 hours (CEST) will have no value and will lapse without compensation to the holder.

Allocation of Offer Shares: The Offer Shares will be allocated to the subscribers based on the allocation criteria set out in the Prospectus. No fractional Offer Shares will be allocated. The Company reserves the right to round off, reject or reduce any subscription for Offer Shares not covered by Subscription Rights (i.e., over-subscription or subscriptions made without Subscription Rights) and will only allocate such Offer Shares to the extent that Offer Shares are available to cover over-subscription based on Subscription Rights or subscriptions made without Subscription Rights. Allocation of fewer Offer Shares than subscribed for by a subscriber will not impact on the subscriber's obligation to pay for the number of Offer Shares allocated. Notification of allocated Offer Shares and the corresponding subscription amount to be paid by each subscriber are expected to be distributed in a letter from the VPS on or about 1 July 2025. Subscribers having access to investor services through their VPS account will be able to check the number of Offer Shares allocated to them on or about 09:00 hours (CEST) on 1 July 2025. Subscribers who do not have access to investor services through their VPS account Settlement Agent may contact the Settlement Agent from 12:00 hours (CEST) on 1 July 2025 to obtain information about the number of Offer Shares allocated to them.

Payment: The payment for Offer Shares allocated to a subscriber falls due on 3 July 2025 (the "Payment Date"). By signing this Subscription Form, subscribers having a Norwegian bank account irrevocably authorise Norne Securities AS (the "Settlement Agent") to debit the bank account specified below for the subscription amount payable for the Offer Shares allocated to the subscriber. The Settlement Agent is only authorised to debit such account once, but reserves the right to make up to three debit attempts, and the authorisation will be valid for up to seven working days after the Payment Date. The subscriber furthermore authorises the Settlement Agent to obtain confirmation from the subscriber's bank that the subscriber has the right to dispose over the specified account and that there are sufficient funds in the account to cover the payment. If there are insufficient funds in a subscriber's bank account or if it for other reasons is impossible to debit such bank account when a debit attempt is made pursuant to the authorisation from the subscriber, the subscriber's obligation to pay for the Offer Shares will be deemed overdue. Subscribers who do not have a Norwegian bank account must ensure that payment with cleared funds for the Offer Shares allocated to them is made on or before the Payment Date. Prior to any such payment being made, the subscriber must contact the Settlement Agent (Norne Securities AS) on e-mail [email protected] for further details and instructions. Should any subscriber have insufficient funds on his or her account, should payment be delayed for any reason, if it is not possible to debit the account or if payments for any other reasons are not made when due, overdue interest will accrue and other terms will apply as set out under the heading "Overdue and missing payments" below.

ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES FOR THE SUBSCRIBER

Regulatory Issues: In accordance with the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) of the European Union, Norwegian law imposes requirements in relation to business investments. In this respect the Settlement Agent must categorise all new clients in one of three categories: eligible counterparties, professional and non-professional clients. All subscribers in the Rights Issue who are not existing clients of the Settlement Agent will be categorised as non-professional clients. Subscribers can by written request to the Settlement Agent ask to be categorised as a professional client if the subscriber fulfils the applicable requirements of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. For further information about the categorisation, the subscriber may contact the Settlement Agent. The subscriber represents that he/she/it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment decision to invest in the Company by subscribing for Offer Shares, and is able to bear the economic risk, and to withstand a complete loss, of an investment in the Offer Shares.

The Settlement Agent will receive a consideration from the Company and will in conducting its work have to take into consideration the requirements of the Company and the interests of the investors subscribing under the Rights Issue and the rules regarding inducements pursuant to the requirements of the Norwegian MiFID II Regulations (implementing the European Directive for Markets in Financial Instruments (MiFID II)).

Selling and Transfer Restrictions: The attention of persons who wish to acquire Subscription Rights and/or subscribe for Offer Shares is drawn to Section 12 of the Prospectus "Selling and transfer restrictions". The making or acceptance of the Rights Issue to persons who have registered addresses outside Norway, or who are resident in, or citizens of, countries outside Norway, may be affected by the terms of the Rights Issue and the laws of the relevant jurisdiction. Those persons should read Section 12 of the Prospectus and consult their professional advisers as to whether they are eligible to acquire Subscription Rights and/or subscribe for Offer Shares or require any governmental or other consents or need to observe any other formalities to enable them to acquire Subscription Rights and/or subscribe for Offer Shares. It is the responsibility of any person outside Norway wishing to acquire Subscription Rights and/or subscribe for Offer Shares under the Rights Issue to satisfy himself/herself/itself as to the full observance of the laws of any relevant jurisdiction in connection therewith, including obtaining any governmental or other consent which may be required, the compliance with other necessary formalities and the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such territories. The Subscription Rights and the Offer Shares have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or under the securities law of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, sold, taken up, exercised, resold, delivered or transferred, directly or indirectly, within the United States, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. There will be no public offer of the Subscription Rights and/or Offer Shares in the United States. The Subscription Rights and the Offer Shares have not been and will not be registered under the applicable securities laws of Australia, Canada, the Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa or Japan and may not be offered, sold, resold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in or into Australia, Canada, the Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa Japan or any other jurisdiction which would require such registration, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from applicable securities laws. This Subscription Form does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy Subscription Rights or Offer Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. Subject to certain exceptions, the Prospectus will not be distributed in the United States, Australia, Canada, the Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa, Japan or any other jurisdiction in which such distribution would be unlawful. Except as otherwise provided in the Prospectus, the Subscription Rights and the Offer Shares may not be transferred, sold or delivered in the United States, Australia, Canada, the Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa or Japan or any other jurisdiction in which such transfer, sale or deliverance would be unlawful. A notification of exercise of Subscription Rights and subscription of Offer Shares in contravention of the above restrictions may be deemed to be invalid. By acquiring Subscription Rights and/or subscribing for Offer Shares, persons effecting subscriptions will be deemed to have represented to the Company that they, and the persons on whose behalf they are subscribing for the Offer Shares, have complied with the above selling restrictions.

Execution Only: The Settlement Agent will treat the Subscription Form as an execution-only instruction. The Settlement Agent is not required to determine whether an investment in the Subscription Rights and/or the Offer Shares is appropriate or not for the subscriber. Hence, the subscriber will not benefit from the protection of the relevant conduct of business rules in accordance with the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.

Information Exchange: The subscriber acknowledges that, under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and foreign legislation applicable to the Settlement Agent there is a duty of secrecy between the different units of the Settlement Agent, as well as between other entities in the Settlement Agent's group. This may entail that other employees of the Settlement Agent or the Settlement Agent's group may have information that may be relevant to the subscriber, but which the Settlement Agent will not have access to in its capacity as Settlement Agent for the Rights Issue.

Information Barriers: The Settlement Agent is an investment firm that offers a broad range of investment services. In order to ensure that assignments undertaken in the Settlement Agent's corporate finance department are kept confidential, the Settlement Agent's other activities, including analysis and stock broking, are separated from the Settlement Agent's corporate finance department by information walls. The subscriber acknowledges that the Settlement Agent's analysis and stock broking activity may conflict with the subscriber's interests with regard to transactions of the Shares, including the Offer Shares, as a consequence of such information walls.

VPS Account and Mandatory Anti-Money Laundering Procedures: The Rights Issue is subject to the Norwegian Money Laundering Act No. 23 of 1 June 2018 and the Norwegian Money Laundering Regulations No. 1324 of 14 September 2018 (collectively, the "Anti-Money Laundering Legislation"). Subscribers who are not registered as existing customers with the Settlement Agent must verify their identity in accordance with the requirements of the Anti-Money Laundering Legislation, unless an exemption is available. The verification of identity must be completed prior to the end of the Subscription Period. Subscribers that have not completed the required verification of identity may not be allocated Offer Shares. Further, in participating in the Rights Issue, each subscriber must have a VPS account. The VPS account number must be stated on the Subscription Form. VPS accounts can be established with authorised VPS registrars, which can be Norwegian banks, authorised securities brokers in Norway and Norwegian branches of credit institutions established within the European Economic Area (the "EEA"). Non-Norwegian investors may, however, use nominee VPS accounts registered in the name of a nominee. The nominee must be authorised by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway. Establishment of a VPS account requires verification of identity to the VPS registrar in accordance with the Anti- Money Laundering Legislation.

Personal data: The applicant confirms that it has been provided information regarding the Settlement Agent's processing of personal data, and that it is informed that the Settlement Agent will process the applicant's personal data in order to manage and carry out the Rights Issue and the subscription from the subscriber, and to comply with statutory requirements. The data controllers who are responsible for the processing of personal data is the Settlement Agent. The processing of personal data is necessary in order to fulfil an agreement to which the subscribers are a party and to meet legal obligations. The Norwegian Securities Trading Act and the Money Laundering Act require that the Settlement Agent process and store information about customers and trades, and control and document its activities. The subscribers' personal data will be processed confidentially, but if it is necessary in relation to the purposes, the personal data may be shared between the company(ies) participating in the offering, companies within the Settlement Agent's group, the VPS, stock exchanges and/or public authorities. The personal data will be processed as long as necessary for the purposes, and will subsequently be deleted unless there is a statutory duty to keep it.

If the Settlement Agent transfer personal data to countries outside the EEA, that have not been approved by the EU Commission, the Man ager will make sure the transfer takes place in accordance with the legal mechanisms protecting the personal data, for example the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. As a data subject, the subscribers have several legal rights. This includes i.a. the right to access their personal data, and a right to request that incorrect information be corrected. In certain instances, they have the right to impose restrictions on the processing or demand that the information is deleted. They may also complain to a supervisory authority if they find that the Settlement Agent's processing is in breach of the law. Supplementary information on processing of personal data and the applicants' rights can be found at the Settlement Agent's website.
