STABILISATION AND OVER-ALLOTMENT NOTICE

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO

U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN OR INTO THE

UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, HONG KONG, CANADA OR JAPAN, OR ANY

OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE

KID ASA - STABILISATION AND OVER-ALLOTMENT NOTICE

Lier, 30 October 2015: Reference is made to the stock

exchange announcement published on 30 October 2015, in which

Kid ASA ("Kid" or the "Company") announced the successful

completion of the bookbuilding period for the initial public

offering of the shares (the "Offering").

ABG Sundal Collier ASA (the "Stabilisation Manager") may, on

behalf of the Joint Bookrunners for the Offering and listing

of the shares (the "Shares") of Kid, engage in stabilisation

activities in the Shares from 2 November 2015, the first day

of trading, to and including 2 December 2015 (the

"Stabilisation Period").

The stabilisation transactions are aimed to support the

market price of the Shares. In connection with the Offering,

the Joint Bookrunners have been granted an over-allotment

option (the "Over-allotment Option") and have over-allotted

to the investors in the Offering 3,054,838 Shares. The over-

allotted Shares have been borrowed from Gjelsten Holding AS.

The Over-allotment Option entitles the Joint Bookrunners, at

the request of the Stabilisation Manager, to purchase up to

3,054,838 additional Shares from Gjelsten Holding AS at a

price per Share equal to the offer price in the Offering of

NOK 31 per Share (the "Offer Price").

The Stabilisation Manager (or persons acting on behalf of

the Stabilisation Manager) may effect transactions that

stabilise or maintain the price of the Shares at a level

higher than that which might otherwise prevail, by buying

Shares in the open market at prices equal to or lower than

(but not above) the Offer Price. However, there is no

obligation on the Stabilisation Manager or any person acting

for the Stabilisation Manager to do so. Moreover, there is

no assurance that the Stabilisation Manager (or persons

acting on behalf of the Stabilisation Manager) will

undertake stabilisation activities. If stabilisation

activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any

time, and must end upon the expiry of the Stabilisation

Period.

Within one week after the expiry of the Stabilisation

Period, the Stabilisation Manager will publish information

as to whether or not price stabilisation activities were

undertaken. If stabilisation activities were undertaken, the

statement will also include information about: (i) the total

amount of Shares sold and purchased; (ii) the dates on which

the stabilisation period began and ended; (iii) the price

range between which stabilisation was carried out, as well

as the highest, lowest and average price paid during the

stabilisation period; and (iv) the date at which

stabilisation activities last occurred.

Any stabilisation activities will be conducted in accordance

with Section 3-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act

and the EC Commission Regulation 2273/2003 regarding buy-

back programmes and stabilisation of financial instruments.

For further details see the prospectus dated 16 October 2015

issued by Kid in connection with the Offering.

ABG Sundal Collier ASA and Arctic Securities AS

(collectively the "Joint Bookrunners") are acting as Joint

Bookrunners in the IPO.
