Net asset value ("NAV") is Gross asset value ("GAV") less liabilities.

Net asset value is a core performance indicator at Aker ASA. NAV expresses Aker's underlying value and is a key determinant of the company's dividend policy (annual dividend payments of 2-4 percent of NAV).

Net asset value is determined by applying the market value of exchange-listed shares, most recent transaction value for non-listed assets subject to material transaction with third parties, while book value is used for other assets.

Aker's assets (Aker ASA and holding companies) consist largely of equity investments in the Industrial Holdings segment, and of cash, receivables and other equity investments in the Financial Investments segment. Other assets consist mainly of fixed and other interest-free assets. The financial tables in this appendix show the composition of Aker's assets.

*Aker ASA holds direct exposure to 13 701 416 shares in AMSC ASA, equivalent to 19.07% of the shares and votes of the company, and financial exposure to 22 155 088 underlying shares through two total return swap agreements, equivalent to 30.83% of the share capital in the company. As per 30 June 2023, the value of the swap agreements was negative by NOK 120 million
