Dividends are set to paid on or about 7[th] December and 15[th] March 2024.

Dividends will be classified as return of paid in capital

AMSC CEO, Pål Lothe Magnussen comments, "The last few months have been

transformational for AMSC with the sale of our Jones Act business and conversion

of ownership in the Normand Maximus towards common shares in Solstad Newco. We

have paid a significant additional dividend to shareholders and have kept ample

liquidity for future investments. We believe there to be dividend capacity and

upside value potential in Solstad Newco as we expect the offshore market cycle

to remain strong and continue to improve. We are also proactively looking for

new investments in the maritime space to add to our dividend capacity going

forward. We are excited about the developments over the past few months and are

looking forward to continue creating shareholder value."
