Oslo, 18 June 2019. Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement on 17

June 2019 by OKEA ASA ("OKEA" or the "Company") regarding the successful

completion of its initial public offering (the "IPO").

Pareto Securities AS (the "Stabilisation Manager") may, on behalf of the

Managers (as defined below), engage in stabilisation activities from today, 18

June 2019, to and including 17 July 2019 (the "Stabilisation Period"). Any

stabilisation transactions will be aimed to support the market price of the

shares of OKEA.

The Stabilisation Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilisation

Manager) may effect transactions to stabilise or maintain the price of the

shares of OKEA at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail, by

buying shares in OKEA or associated instruments in the open market at prices

equal to or lower than (but not above) NOK 21 per share. However, there is no

obligation on the Stabilisation Manager (or persons acting on behalf of 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

undertaken, they may be discontinued at any time, and must be brought to an end

upon or before the expiry of the Stabilisation Period.

Within one week after the end of the Stabilisation Period, the Stabilisation

Manager will publish a statement through the information system of Oslo Børs

under the Company's ticker (OKEA) with information as to whether or not any

stabilisation activities have been undertaken, including the total amount of

shares sold and purchased, the date at which stabilisation begun, the date at

which stabilisation last occurred, the price range in which stabilisation was

carried out for each of the dates stabilisation transactions were carried out.

Any stabilisation activities will be conducted in accordance with section 3-12

of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Commission Regulation (EC) No.

2273/2003 implementing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the

Council regarding buy-back programs and stabilisation of financial instruments.

In order to facilitate for potential price stabilisation activities, Okea

Holdings Ltd. and BCPR Pte. Ltd. have granted the Stabilisation Manager, on

behalf of the Managers, an option to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,250,000

existing shares at the end of the stabilisation period. For further details on

the IPO, see the stock exchange announcement of 17 June 2019 issued by OKEA.

Pareto Securities AS, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ.), Oslo Branch and

SpareBank 1 Markets AS are acting as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint

Bookrunners in the IPO (collectively, the "Managers"). Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS

is acting as legal advisor to OKEA, and Arntzen de Besche Advokatfirma AS is

acting as legal advisor to the Managers.

facts and may be identified by words such as "believe", "aims", "expect",

"anticipate", "intends", "estimate", "will", "may", "continue", "should" and

similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this release are based

upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further

assumptions. Although the Company believes that these assumptions were

reasonable when made, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant

known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important

factors which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control.

Such risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors could cause

actual events to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in

this release by such forward-looking statements.

The Offering may be influenced by a range of circumstances, such as market

conditions, and there is no guarantee that the Offering will proceed and that

the listing will occur.
