Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement by Arribatec Solutions ASA ("Arribatec" or the "Company") on 12 November 2020 regarding the commencement of a subsequent offering of up to 32,855,000 new shares (the “Offer Shares”) (the “Subsequent Offering”) and an employee offering of up to 10,000,000 new shares (the “Employee Offer Shares”) (the “Employee Offering”).

The Company has received subscriptions for 134,964,501 Offer Shares from eligible shareholders in the Subsequent Offering and the Subsequent Offering has accordingly been significantly oversubscribed. In addition, the Company has received subscriptions for 16,121,048 Employee Offer Shares.
The allocation of the Offer Shares will be resolved by the Company's board of directors in accordance with the allocation criteria set out in the Company's National Prospectus dated 27 October 2020. Notifications of allocated Offer Shares and the corresponding subscription amount to be paid by each subscriber are expected to be distributed on or about 20 November 2020.

Subject to timely payment of the entire subscription amount in the Subsequent Offering, the Company expects that the share capital increase pertaining to the Subsequent Offering will be registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises on or about 25 November 2020 and that the Offer Shares will be delivered to the Norwegian Central Securities Depository ("VPS") accounts of the subscribers to whom they are allocated on or about 26 November 2020. The Offer Shares will be tradable immediately after the registration of the share capital with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises.
Completion of the Subsequent Offering and the Employee Offering is conditional upon registration of the reduction of the approved reduction of the par value of the Company’s shares to NOK 0.28. Should the condition fail to be fulfilled after payment of the subscription price, the amount will be returned to the subscriber.
