DNO Raises USD 400 Million in Hybrid Bonds

5 June 2025 - DNO ASA, the Norwegian oil and gas operator, today completed a

private placement of USD 400 million of subordinated hybrid bonds with a coupon

rate of 10.75 percent. The hybrid bonds will have the first call at 100 percent

of nominal value after 5.5 years, with coupon step-up after six years and

maturity in 2085. The bond placement met strong investor demand across US,

Nordic and international markets and was significantly oversubscribed.

"This first hybrid bond issue capitalizes on our 24-year flawless record in the

bond market," said DNO's Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani. "Given its

features, including treatment as equity not debt on DNO's balance sheet, a

hybrid bond fits well with our financing structure following closing of the Sval

Energi Group AS acquisition later this month," he added.

Settlement is expected on or about 17 June 2025, subject to customary conditions

precedent. An application will be made to list the bonds on the Oslo Stock

Exchange. Proceeds from the new bond issue will be used to refinance financial

indebtedness in Sval Energi and for general corporate purposes.

Arctic Securities AS, DNB Carnegie, part of DNB Bank ASA, and Pareto Securities

AS acted as Joint Bookrunners for the transaction. AGP Advokater AS acted as

legal advisor to the Company.
