BerGenBio ASA - Stabilisation and over-allotment notice

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO

U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES, OR IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES,

CANADA, AUSTRALIA, THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE

REGION OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, SOUTH AFRICA OR

JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR

BerGenBio ASA - Stabilisation and over-allotment notice

Oslo, 7 April 2017: Reference is made to the stock exchange

notice published on 6 April 2017, in which BerGenBio ASA

("BerGenBio" or the "Company", OSE ticker: BGBIO) announced

the successful completion of its initial public offering

(the "Offering").

ABG Sundal Collier ASA (the "Stabilisation Manager") may, on

behalf of the Joint Global Coordinators, engage in

stabilisation activities of the shares of BerGenBio

(the "Shares") from today, 7 April 2017, to and including 5

May 2017 (the "Stabilisation Period"). The stabilisation

activities are aimed to support the market price of the

Shares.

In connection with the Offering, the Joint Global

Coordinators have over-allotted 1,000,000 Shares in the

Company to the applicants in the Offering. In order to

permit the delivery in respect of over-allotments made, the

Stabilisation Manager has been granted the option, on behalf

of the Joint Global Coordinators, to borrow a number of

Shares in the Company equal to the number of over-allotted

Shares from certain shareholders in the Company

(the "Lending Shareholders").

Further, the Joint Global Coordinators have been granted an

option (the "Greenshoe Option") by the Lending Shareholders,

exercisable by the Stabilisation Manager, to purchase from

the Lending Shareholders up to 1,000,000 Shares at a price

per Share equal to the offer price in the Offering

(the "Offer Price") of NOK 25 per Share. The Greenshoe

Option may, at the Stabilisation Manager's discretion, be

exercised at any time during the Stabilisation Period, in

whole or in part. The Stabilisation Manager can use the

Greenshoe Option to cover over-allotments made in connection

with the Offering or short positions arising from

stabilisation transactions.

As part of the stabilisation activities, the Stabilisation

Manager or its agents, on behalf of the Joint Global

Coordinators, may effect transactions with a view to support

the market price of the Shares at a level higher than what

might otherwise prevail, through buying Shares in the open

market at prices equal to or lower than (but not above) the

Offer Price. There is no obligation on the Stabilisation

Manager to conduct stabilisation activities and there is no

assurance that stabilisation activities will be undertaken.

Such stabilising activities, if commenced, may be

discontinued at any time, and will in any event be brought

to an end at the end of the Stabilisation Period.

Within one week after the end of the Stabilisation Period,

the Stabilisation Manager will publish

information as to whether or not price stabilisation

activities were undertaken. If stabilisation activities were

undertaken, the statement will also include information

about: (i) the total amount of Shares sold and purchased;

(ii) the dates on which the stabilisation period began and

ended; (iii) the price range between which stabilisation was

carried out, as well as the highest, lowest and average

price paid during the stabilisation period; and (iv) the

date at which stabilisation activities last occurred.

Any net profit or loss resulting from stabilisation

activities conducted by the Stabilisation Manager will be

for the account of the Lending Shareholders. Any

stabilisation activities will be conducted in accordance

with Section 3-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act

and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2273/2003 implementing

Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the

Council as regards exemptions for buy-back programmes and

stabilisation of financial instruments.

For further details see the prospectus dated 28 March 2017

issued by BerGenBio in connection with the Offering and the

listing of the Shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange.

ABG Sundal Collier ASA, Arctic Securities and DNB Markets (a

branch of DNB Bank ASA) are acting as Joint Global

Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners in the Offering, and are

herein referred to as the "Joint Global Coordinators".
