Strong balance sheet and robust cash flow

Yme start-up in October – adding production and cash flow

Financial flexibility to support M&A strategy

ESG central to all operational activities

Strategic direction based on three pillars

Growth Value creation Capital discipline

Market fundamentals and opportunities are in place

Attractive energy market

M&A opportunities

Edge in mid to late-life operatorships

Three growth levers to deliver continued shareholder value

Current asset base represents a fundamental part of OKEA's growth story

• Draugen extension and improvement, extending life of field to beyond 2035
• IOR and ILX-focused exploration projects to identify upsides
• Play an active role in non-operated licenses to further unlock value potential

Capitalise on OKEA's capabilities in executing complex transactions, enabling rapid production growth

• Leverage OKEA's edge in transitioning operated assets and unlocking upside through acquisitions of mid to late-life operatorships
• Pursue non-operatorship acquisitions to provide volume and cashflow

Organically matured projects form a key lever to replenish current portfolio and develop optionality

• Focus on organic projects adjacent to existing hubs
• Consider new hub exploration and development if financial headroom and attractive risk-reward

ESG embedded in the business and all operational activities

Environment

Minimising our impact on the natural environment

• Actively working to reduce emissions through costeffective measures across energy efficiency and technology
• Pursuing life-time extension of fields and maximise use of existing infrastructure
• Striving for best-in-class discharge management to protect nature

Social

Ensuring safe and responsible operations while generating value for the Norwegian society

• Providing safe working environment for employees and contractors through robust HSEQ culture
• Promoting diverse and engaged workforce and respecting human rights
• Focusing on positive local impact by actively recruiting workforce and using relevant contractors from regions where we operate

Governance

Maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance and business ethics

• Established policies, guidelines and training to ensure compliance throughout organisation and supply chain
• ESG contractor screening includes sustainability assessment in all procurement processes
• ESG anchored at board of directors' level through sustainability and technical risk committee

Ambition to initiate dividend plan in 2022

Dividends – a key strategic priority

• Current bond loan terms allow for distributions to shareholders from 2022 subject to customary restrictions
• Clear aim to deliver competitive shareholder return through capital discipline
• Dividend plan to be balanced by investments in value-accretive growth

Creating value where others divest

Key learnings

Marginal field specialisation required OKEA to build unique set of key competencies also relevant in late-life context

• A cost-conscious approach to development a key success factor for making marginal assets viable
• Experience in ILX, IOR, and tie-ins/mods
• Operating model built on effective supplier partnerships coupled with inhouse competencies
• Disciplined capital spend culture

2015 | Marginal field specialist 2021 | Mid to late-life champion

OKEA opportunity

Becoming a leading mid- to late-life operator on the NCS, with key capabilities to unlock upsides

• ILX, IOR, and tie-ins/mods key to unlocking upside in mid-to-late-life assets
• Cost-efficient solutions critical for extending life-offield profitably
• Short path to competent and flexible decommissioning organisation through partnering
• Capital spend discipline critical for optimising investments, particularly in ultra-late-life context
