ENTRA - LAUNCH OF INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND APPROVED PROSPECTUS

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, 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 RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. OTHER RESTRICTIONS ARE

APPLICABLE. PLEASE SEE THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION AT THE END OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

Oslo, 6 October 2014. Reference is made to the announcement on 17 September

2014 regarding the intention to list the shares of Entra ASA ("Entra", the

"Company", OSE ticker code: "ENTRA") on Oslo Børs and the contemplated initial

public offering (the "Offering"). Entra has, as agreed with the Norwegian

Government, represented by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries (the

"Selling Shareholder"), resolved to launch the Offering and to apply for a

listing of its shares on Oslo Børs. Subject to approval of the listing

application and successful completion of the Offering, the shares of Entra are

expected to be admitted to listing and commence conditional trading on Oslo Børs

on 17 October 2014.

The Offer Shares (as defined below) are expected to be sold at a price between

NOK 61 and NOK 72 per Offer Share, corresponding to an equity value (including

issuance of new shares) of between approximately NOK 11.4 billion and NOK 12.9

billion. The final offer price per share may, however, be set above or below

this indicative price range.

The Offering will comprise up to 44,262,296 new shares (the "New Shares") to be

issued by the Company to raise gross proceeds of approximately NOK 2,700

million, and between 29,009,265 and 64,673,913 existing shares (the "Sale

Shares") to be offered by the Selling Shareholder. In addition, the Selling

Shareholder has granted Goldman Sachs International, on behalf of the Managers

(as defined below), an over-allotment option to purchase up to 16,340,432 shares

(the "Additional Shares", and together with the New Shares and Sale Shares, the

"Offer Shares"). The final number of Offer Shares will depend on the final offer

price. The sum of the allocated Sale Shares and Additional Shares will in no

event be less than 40,000,000 shares or more than 80,000,000 shares.

If all the New Shares and all the Sale Shares are sold in the Offering at the

mid-point of the indicative price range, it is expected that the free float of

Entra following completion of the Offering will be up to 58% of the share

capital (when excluding the over-allotment facility), and up to 66% of the share

capital (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), implying that the

Selling Shareholder will retain an ownership in Entra post completion of the

Offering of at least 34%.

The Selling Shareholder will receive the proceeds from the sale of the Sale

Shares and the Additional Shares, if any, and the Company will receive the

proceeds from the sale of the New Shares.

The Selling Shareholder and the Company will be subject to a customary lock-up

period of 180 days after the Offering. Members of the senior management team of

the Company will be subject to a 365 days lock-up period.

The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway has approved the prospectus dated

3 October 2014 (the "Prospectus") that has been prepared in connection with the

Offering and listing. The terms and conditions for the Offering, as further set

out in the Prospectus, comprise:
