RISK FACTORS (1/3)

2 Risk Factors

2.1 Introduction

Investing in the Company involves inherent risks. Prospective investors should carefully consider, among other things, the risk factors set out in this Section before making an investment decision in respect of the Shares.

The below risk factors are only a summary of all risks applicable to the Company and the Group. A prospective investor should carefully consider all the risks related to the Company and the Group, and should consult his or her own expert advisors as to the suitability of an investment in securities of the Company. An investment in securities of the Company entails significant risks and 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 the investment. Against this background, an investor should thus make a careful assessment of the Company and its prospects before deciding to invest.

Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company currently believes are immaterial, or that are currently not known to the Company, may also have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. The order in which the risks are presented below is not intended to provide an indication of the likelihood of their occurrence nor of their severity or significance.

The risk factors described in this Section 2 are sorted into a limited number of categories, where the Company has sought to place each individual risk factor in the most appropriate category based on the nature of the risk it represents. The risks that are assumed to be of the greatest significance are described first. This does not mean that the remaining risk factors are ranked in order of their materiality or comprehensibility, and the fact that a risk factor is not mentioned first in its category does not in any way suggest that the risk factor is less important when taking an informed investment decision. The risks mentioned herein could materialise individually or cumulatively.

2.2 Risks associated with the Group's business and the industry in which it operates

2.2.1 Demand for maritime technologies

The demand for maritime technologies depends on underlying industries that are vulnerable to external factors outside of the Group's control. In particular, the demand for newbuilding of vessels and associated maritime technologies is dependent on the activity within the different industries and segments, which are in turn dependent on factors including, but not limited to, worldwide economic and political conditions, levels of supply and demand, the policies of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC"), advances in exploration and development technology, and the availability and exploitation of alternate fuel sources. The demand for vessels within fisheries and aquaculture is dependent on regulatory frameworks and other factors. A decline in the demand for maritime technologies will have a negative impact on the demand for the Group's products, technologies and services.

2.2.2 Availability of contracts with satisfactory margins

The Group is dependent on successfully competing for, and winning, contracts offering a satisfactory profit margin in order to maintain revenues and profitability. The contracts are entered into in a competitive market where the Group competes on product quality, overall service offering, financing, and price. A deterioration of the Group's ability to deliver competitive products, technologies and services could have a significant adverse effect on the Group's business and results of operations in the future.

2.2.3 Margin pressure, cost overruns, and delays

The products and services offered by the Group are characterized by complex projects with a high technological content and highly customized orders. When entering into contracts, the Group has risks on its margin between the agreed fixed price of the finished product or service, and the costs involved in completing such product or service. In particular, when constructing new or customized products, there is an element of uncertainty involved in the cost or time involved in such construction which may have a significant adverse effect on the Group's results of operations.

2.2.4 Guarantee claims and performance guarantees

When supplying maritime technologies, the Group provides a functionality guarantee for the product for a specified period of time after delivery. The Group makes allocation for such guarantees in its accounts. There can be no assurance that the allocations made will be sufficient to meet any potential guarantee claims, and a rightful claim could have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position.

RISK FACTORS (2/3)

2.2.5 Availability of adequate insurance

The Group has procured adequate insurance coverage for its operation risks in line with market practice, including but not limited to insurance for personnel, property and liability. The Group's insurance policies and contractual rights to indemnity may not adequately cover the Group's losses, or may have exclusions of coverage for some losses. In line with industry practice, the Group does not have insurance coverage or rights to indemnity for all kinds of risks. If a significant accident or other event occurs which is not fully covered by insurance or contractual indemnity, it could adversely affect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Group.

2.2.6 COVID-19

The ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus (causing the disease COVID-19) has led to governmental shutdowns of cities, boarders and companies to close business operations. These restrictions and potential further restrictions have, and may have, increased, adverse effect on the market conditions and may lead to negative macro-economic development. Economic disruption and changes in general market conditions may affect the demand for the Group's products or services. Each of these factors could have a negative impact on demand for the Group's products or services, and may result in shutdown of the Group's sites, either by way of governmental order or due to illness of key employees, which would have an adverse effect on its business, income and results of operations. Companies within the Group that are dependent on presence at shipyards abroad to be able to perform commissioning on the products are more exposed to travel restrictions, mainly NES and NGT.

2.2.7 Risks related to current dispute with shipyard and legal, governmental or arbitration proceedings

The Group may from time to time be involved in legal, governmental or arbitration proceedings related to the ordinary course of the Group's business, and is currently involved in a dispute with the Spanish shipyard Hijos de J. Barreras ("Barreras") relating to an agreement entered into in 2018 for the delivery of design and equipment to Barreras. The contracts were related to two coastal passenger vessels, which were ordered by Havila Kystruten AS ("HKY") at Barreras (hereinafter referred to as "Supply Agreements" and "Shipbuilding Contracts", respectively). The Shipbuilding Contracts were cancelled by Barreras on 24. November.2019 and in 2020 by HKY. As a result thereof, both HDS and Barreras have sent notice and made reservations about the cancellation of Supply Agreements, but neither party has as of today formally cancelled the Supply Contracts. Consequently, neither of the parties has initiated any legal proceedings as of today. The outcome of such dispute, or any other legal, govrenmental or arbitration proceedings the Group becomes involved in, could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, cash flows and/or results of operations

2.3 Risks related to the Shares

2.3.1 Havyard may have significant voting power, the ability to influence matters requiring shareholder approval and may block equity transactions that could be in the interest of the Company

Following completion of the Private Placement, Havyard's holding in the Company equals approximately 70% of the total number of Shares and votes in the Company. Hence, Havyard has significant influence of matters subject to approval by the shareholders in the Company, including continued significant influence over the Company's Management and business. These matters also include election of board of directors, mergers or sales of assets and issuance of additional shares or other equity related securities, which may dilute the economic and voting rights of the existing shareholders. The interests of Havyard may not be aligned with and may differ significantly from or may compete with the Company's interests or those of the other shareholders. It is possible that Havyard could exercise its influence over the Company in a manner that does not promote the interests of the other shareholders. For example, there could also be a conflict between the interests of Havyard and the interests of the Company or its other shareholders with respect to dividends or other fundamental corporate matters. The concentration of ownership could delay, postpone or prevent a change of control in the Company, and impact mergers, consolidations, acquisitions or other forms of combinations, as well as distributions of profit, which may or may not be desired by other investors. Such conflicts could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and prospects.

2.3.2 Future sales, or the possibility for future sales of substantial numbers of Shares, could affect the Shares' market price

Sales of substantial amounts of Shares in the public market following the Admission or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the Shares, making it more difficult for shareholders to sell their Shares at a time and price that they deem appropriate. As of the date of this Information Document, all Shares of the Company are owned by Havyard. After completion of the Private Placement is expected to own approximately 24 million Shares, equivalent to approximately 70% of the total number of Shares and votes in the Company.

2.3.3 The Company is subject to the Euronext Growth Rule Book which may deviate from the regulations for securities trading on Oslo Børs and Euronext Expand, and which may imply a risk of a lower degree of transparency and minority protection

The Company is subject to the rules of the Securities Trading Act applicable to securities admitted to trading on a multilateral trading facility and the Euronext Growth Rule Book. Such obligations may differ from the obligations imposed on companies who's securities are listed on Oslo Børs or Euronext Expand. The Company is not subject to any takeover regulations meaning that an acquirer may purchase a stake in the Shares exceeding the applicable thresholds for a mandatory offer for a company listed on Oslo Børs or Euronext Expand without triggering a mandatory offer for the remaining Shares. In accordance with Euronext Growth Rule Book Part I, section 4.3, and without prejudice to national regulations, the Company shall make public within five (5) trading days of becoming aware, any situation where a person, acting alone or in concert, reaches, exceeds or falls below a major holding threshold of fifty percent (50%) or ninety percent (90%) of the capital or voting rights. Furthermore, there is no other requirement to disclose large shareholdings in the Company (Nw.: flaggeplikt). Primary insiders and their close associates are not obliged to announce transactions made by them immediately to the market, but only to the Company which then must make a disclosure to the market within the third trading day. The scope of close associates is also more narrow than for companies listed on Oslo Børs or Euronext Expand. These deviations from the regulations applicable to securities trading on Oslo Børs or Euronext Expand may, alone or together, impose a risk to transparency and the protection of minority shareholders. An investment in the Shares is suitable only for investors who understand the risk factors associated with an investment in a company admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo.

RISK FACTORS (3/3)

2.3.4 There may not be an active and liquid market for the Shares on Euronext Growth Oslo and the Share price could fluctuate significantly

An investment in the Shares is associated with a high degree of risk and the price of the Shares may not develop favorably. Prior to the Admission to Trading, there has been no public market for the Shares, as the Shares have not been listed or admitted to trading on any, stock exchange, Regulated Market or multilateral trading facility. Following the Admission to Trading, an active or liquid trading market for the Shares may not develop or be sustained. If such market fails to develop or be sustained, it could have a negative impact on the price of the Shares. Investors may not be in a position to sell their shares quickly, at the market price or at all if there is no active trading in the Shares.

The share prices of companies admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo can be highly volatile and the trading volume and price of the Shares could fluctuate significantly. Some of the factors that could negatively affect the Share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of the Shares include, for example, changes in the Company's actual or projected results of operations or those of its competitors, changes in earnings projections or failure to meet investors' and analysts' earnings expectations, investors' evaluations of the success and effects of the Company's strategy, as well as the evaluation of the related risks, changes in general economic conditions or the equities markets generally, changes in the industries in which the Company operates, changes in shareholders and other factors. This volatility has had a significant impact on the market price of securities issued by many companies. Those changes may occur without regard to the operating performance of these companies. The price of the Shares may therefore fluctuate due to factors that have little or nothing to do with the Company, and such fluctuations may materially affect the price of the Shares.

2.3.5 The Company will incur increased costs as a result of being a traded company

As a company with shares admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo, the Company will be required to comply with applicable reporting and disclosure requirements. The Company will incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses to comply with these and other applicable rules and regulations. The Company anticipates that its incremental general and administrative expenses as a traded company will include, among other things, costs associated with annual and interim reports to shareholders, disclosure obligations, shareholders' meetings, investor relations, incremental director and officer liability insurance costs and officer and director compensation. Any such increased costs, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, operating income and overall financial condition.

2.3.6 Financial reporting and other public company requirements

As a result of the admission to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo, the Company will become subject to reporting and other obligations under applicable law, including the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and the Euronext Growth Rule Book. These reporting and other obligations will place significant demands on the Company's Management, administrative, operational and accounting resources. Any failure of the Company to maintain effective internal controls could cause the inability of the Company to meet its reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in its financial statements. If the Company cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, its reputation and operating results could be materially harmed which could also cause investors to lose confidence in the Company's reported financial information, which could result in a reduction in the trading price of the Shares.

The Management does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in any control systems, no evaluation of these controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within an organization are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by individual acts of certain persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected in a timely manner or at all.

2.3.7 Investors could be unable to exercise their voting rights for Shares registered in a nominee account

Beneficial owners of the Shares that are registered in a nominee account (such as through brokers, dealers or other third parties) could be unable to vote for such Shares unless their ownership is re-registered in their names with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS) prior to any general meeting of shareholders. There is no assurance that beneficial owners of the Shares will receive the notice of any general meeting of shareholders in time to instruct their nominees to either effect a reregistration of their Shares or otherwise vote for their Shares in the manner desired by such beneficial owners.

2.3.8 Pre-emptive rights to subscribe for Shares in additional issuances could be unavailable to U.S. or other shareholders

Under Norwegian law, unless otherwise resolved at the Company's general meeting of shareholders, existing shareholders have pre-emptive rights to participate on the basis of their existing ownership of Shares in the issuance of any new Shares for cash consideration. Shareholders in the United States, however, could be unable to exercise any such rights to subscribe for new Shares unless a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act is in effect in respect of such rights and Shares or an exemption from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act is available. Shareholders in other jurisdictions outside Norway could be similarly affected if the rights and the new Shares being offered have not been registered with, or approved by, the relevant authorities in such jurisdiction.

The Company is under no obligation to file a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act or seek similar approvals under the laws of any other jurisdiction outside Norway in respect of any such rights and Shares. Doing so in the future could be impractical and costly. To the extent that the Company's shareholders are not able to exercise their rights to subscribe for new Shares, their proportional interests in the Company will be diluted
