DETNOR02: One-off Put Option Expired

Det norske oljeselskap ASA ("Det norske" or "the company") has obtained the

results from the One-off Put Option in its DETNOR02 bond loan.

Reference is made to the Summons to Bondholders' meeting dated March 18, 2015.

The deadline to exercise the One-off Put Option at 101% of par plus accrued

interest was set to 20 April 2015.

Bondholders representing NOK 24.5 million nominal worth of DETNOR02 have decided

to exercise its put options.

Det norske will not cancel the bonds, and the gross nominal amount of DETNOR02

will thus remain NOK 1,900 million.

Det norske will not utilize the unsecured NOK 1,900 million revolving credit

facility as provided by Nordea in conjunction with the One-off Put Option.

Nordea Markets has been advisor to Det norske in connection with the amendment

process.

The original summons and the full terms of the amendment can be found on the

company's website www.detnor.no.
