Risk factors

Investing in bonds issued by Bonheur ASA (the "Issuer") involves inherent risks as is the case for all bonds in general. The risks and uncertainties described below are risks of which the Issuer is particularly aware and that the Issuer considers to be material to its business. Risk factors concerning the Issuer and the market are also addressed in the recent annual report (including in the Director's report). If any of these and/or similar or comparable risks were to occur, the Issuer's business, financial position, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected, and the Issuer could be unable to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with the bonds. An investment in the bonds is suitable only for investors who understand the risk factors associated with this type of investment and who can afford a loss of all or part of their investment.

RISK RELATED TO OUR MAIN BUSINESSES AND THE INDUSTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE

The Issuer is a holding company with investments in various diversified business segments organized within subsidiary companies which each operate on an autonomous basis. The profitability within the various business segments organized under the Issuer will, to a large extent, depend on the degree of revenue generating out of the respective segments' main assets which currently comprise operating onshore wind farms, offshore wind turbine transportation, installation and service vessels and cruise vessels. A significant part of each of these segments' cost base is fixed. As such, fluctuations in revenues may give corresponding impact on profitability and cash flow from operations.

Revenue generation for the Renewable Energy segment is inter alia dependent on wind resources, electricity prices in the UK and Scandinavia and wind turbine up time. The electricity price received for power produced derives from a mix between fixed governmental backed supporting schemes and prevailing spot market. The revenues from the support regimes will expire in the period between 2027-2037. Consequently, Fred. Olsen Renewables' results are increasingly impacted by fluctuations in spot market electricity prices going forward.

Similar for the Wind Service segment, revenue generation is mainly linked to revenues achieved based on the utilization of the vessels and activity level in GWS. The key drivers for revenues and/or utilization are inter alia the number of new wind turbine installations, demand for operations and maintenance work on existing wind farms, the competitive situation including inter alia availability of installation vessels in the market, technical up time and the companies' ability to secure and execute new contracts.

For the Cruise segment, revenue generation is inter alia dependent on consumers' demand for cruise holidays, technical up time and the competitive situation including the ability to successfully schedule, market and sell cruise holidays. The segment is exposed to fluctuations in bunker fuel prices. In addition, vessels may be subject to additional various regulatory fuel, and/or emission requirements and/or limitations on national/international cruise operations restrictions (as seen during Covid 19 pandemic) which can impact which area they can operate in, cost levels and/or need for additional upgrades of the vessels.

RISK RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL PROFILE

Group indebtedness risk: At end 2q25 the Issuer had approx. NOK3.1bn in financial indebtedness. Equity ratio on the Issuer on a nonconsolidated basis was at the same time 68%. In addition, financial indebtedness in various group companies, including Fred. Olsen Windcarriers and Fred. Olsen Renewables was at the same time approx. NOK6.7bn. Existing financial indebtedness has covenants that limit the borrowers' and or the group of companies' operational and financial flexibility. In addition, the group of companies may incur additional debt in the future. Related debt service obligations and covenants to such indebtedness could have important consequences for the group's operations and flexibility. Increased group of company leverage either through incurrence of additional financial indebtedness or reduced earnings may limit the group of companies' ability to attract new capital to refinance existing financial indebtedness, to finance operations and or to finance investments needed to maintain a competitive market position.

Risk factors

Liquidity risk: The Issuer is a holding company and may be dependent upon cash being distributed from its subsidiaries to be able to service payments in respect of the Bonds. Deteriorating market conditions in the group of companies' main segments, disruption to operations, contractual provisions or laws as well as financial restrictions may impact the said subsidiaries' possibilities to distribute cash to the Issuer.

Currency risk: The group of companies' financial statements are presented in NOK. Revenues consist primarily of GBP, EUR, and NOK, with GBP and EUR as the dominant currency. The expenses are primarily in GBP, EUR, USD and NOK. As such, earnings are exposed to fluctuations in the currency market. Parts of the currency exposure are neutralized due to the majority of the debt and a large part of expenses being denominated in the same currencies as the main revenues. Forward exchange contracts are from time to time entered into in order to reduce future currency exposures.

Subordination relatively to claims in subsidiaries: None of the Issuer's subsidiaries guarantee or have any obligations to pay amounts due under the Bonds. Generally, claims of creditors of a subsidiary including inter alia lenders under existing secured indebtedness related to wind parks and offshore wind transportation and installation vessels and trade creditors will have priority with respect to the assets of the subsidiary over the claims by holders of the Bonds.

Green bond: The Bonds are envisioned to be structured as a green bond. As the regulatory landscape on ESG/sustainability is under constant change, and although the Bonds at present may be issued under a green bond framework, the bond will not necessarily be regarded as a "green bond" in the future.

RISK RELATED TO THE BOND MARKET IN GENERAL

Interest rate risk: The coupon payments, which depend on the NIBOR interest rate and a margin, will vary in accordance with the variability of the NIBOR interest rate. The impact on pricing of the Bonds itself related to interest rate risk will be limited, since the coupon rate will be adjusted quarterly according to the change in the reference interest rate (NIBOR 3 months) over the 5-year tenor. The primary price risk for a floating rate bond issue will be related to the market view of the correct trading level for the credit spread related to the bond issue at a certain time during the tenor, compared with the credit margin the bond issue is carrying. A possible increase in the credit spread trading level relative to the coupon defined credit margin may relate to general changes in the market conditions and/or Issuer specific circumstances.

Market risk: The price of the Bonds will be impacted by a combination of the general credit markets fundamentals, the market's view of the credit risk of the Issuer and the liquidity of the Bonds in the market. As such, despite an underlying positive development in the Issuers business activities, the price of the Bond may fall independent of this fact. Bond issues with a relatively short tenor and a floating rate coupon rate do however in general carry a lower price risk compared to bonds with a longer tenor and/or with a fixed coupon rate.

Liquidity risk: There can be no assurance given regarding the future development of a trading market for the Bonds. Missing demand in the secondary market for the bonds may result in a loss for the bondholder. No marketmaker agreement is entered into in relation to this bond amendment, and the liquidity of bonds will at all times depend on inter alia the market participants view of the credit quality of the Issuer as well as the general liquidity available in the bond market.

Reference rate risk: The bonds are linked to NIBOR. NIBOR and other benchmark rates are the subject of recent national and international regulatory guidance and proposals for reform including, without limitation, the potential replacement of NIBOR as a reference rate.
