subscriptions for a total of 15,511,605 Offer Shares. Thus, no allocation

Shares in accordance with their subscribed amount.

9,836,293 Offer Shares, which comprise approximately 57.4% of the Offer Shares

allocated in the Rights Issue, were allocated on the basis of subscription

rights. 5,587,118 Offer Shares were allocated to subscribers having

oversubscribed on the basis of subscription rights, comprising approximately

32.6% of the Offer Shares allocated. 88,194 shares were allocated to subscribers

without subscription rights, comprising approximately 0.5% of the Offer Shares

allocated in the Rights Issue.

In addition, shares equal to the difference between the aggregate subscribed

amount and the underwritten amount of NOK 30 million was subscribed by and

allocated to the underwriters in the Rights Issue pursuant to the underwriting

agreement between the Company and certain existing shareholders. These

allocations comprised in aggregate 1,631,252 Offer Shares or 9.5% of the total

amount of subscribed shares in the Rights Issue. In total, underwriters in the

Rights Issue subscribed for and were allocated 14,810,771 Offer Shares,

including as per the obligations in the underwriting agreement and additional

subscriptions.

On this background, the Board of Directors has resolved to issue 17,142,857 new

shares in the Company to the subscribers in the Rights Issue, increasing the

Company's share capital by NOK 5,828,571.38, from NOK 25,363,802.12 to NOK
