DNO Secures North Sea Gas Offtake and Related USD 500 Million Financing Facility; Adds Arrows to its Quiver

Oslo, 2 July 2025 - DNO ASA, the Norwegian oil and gas operator, today announced

that the Company's wholly-owned Norway operating subsidiaries have entered into

an offtake agreement with France's ENGIE SA for DNO's Norwegian gas production

and secured a related offtake financing facility with a major US bank for up to

USD 500 million.

The offtake agreement covers the entirety of DNO's Norwegian gas production post

acquisition of Sval Energi Group AS, offers premium pricing and has a tenor of

four years as from 1 October 2025.

Related to the agreement, DNO has entered into an offtake financing facility

with a US bank for up to USD 500 million. Under the facility, DNO is paid, by

the bank, the value of up to 270 days of scheduled gas production based on

future gas sales receivables. The all-in interest rate for drawn amounts under

the facility is significantly below conventional reserve-based lending (RBL)

terms available to DNO, with no charges for undrawn amounts. There are no

financial covenants related to the facility.

Proceeds from the offtake financing facility will be used to replace Sval

Energi's similar existing facilities as well as for general corporate purposes.

"We have received strong interest by buyers to prepurchase our enlarged North

Sea production of 80,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day split about equally

between oil and gas," said DNO's Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani.

"These three-way transactions are made possible because buyers are eager to lock

in secure supplies of Norwegian oil and gas and US banks, in particular, have

significantly stepped up fossil fuel lending," he explained.

Given availability of attractive offtake financing terms, DNO has repaid and

will not renew over USD 600 million in RBLs across its North Sea subsidiaries.

In addition, the Company has borrowed USD 300 million under a one-year bank

bridge loan "to add more arrows to our quiver," according to Mr. Mossavar-

Rahmani.

Separately, DNO is in discussions to establish an offtake agreement and related

financing facility on comparable terms for its North Sea oil production.
