Self Storage Group ASA: Completed private placement and primary insider

notification

(Oslo, 25 June 2019) Reference is made to the stock exchange release from Self

Storage Group ASA ("Self Storage Group" or the "Company") published on 25 June

2019 regarding the acquisition of Eurobox Minilager AS, property acquisitions in

Oslo and a contemplated private placement.

The Company announces that it has raised approximately NOK 250 million in gross

proceeds through a private placement (the "Private Placement") of 12,987,012 new

shares, at a price per share of NOK 19.25. The Private Placement, which was

significantly oversubscribed, took place through an accelerated bookbuilding

process managed by Arctic Securities AS, Carnegie AS and DNB Markets, a part of

DNB Bank ASA, acting as Joint Bookrunners (the "Managers") after close of

markets on 25 June 2019.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to partly secure

funding for the acquisition of Eurobox and the two properties at Skøyen and

Kalbakken, and for general corporate purposes, including funding strategic

growth initiatives within the Company's business.

The Board is of the opinion that the Private Placement complies with the equal

treatment obligations under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Oslo Stock

Exchange' Circular no. 2/2014, in particular due to the fact that (i) in the

current market, a private placement had a larger possibility of success compared

to a rights issue and, therefore, gives the Company timely access to the new

capital at lower risk; and (ii) the cost of raising capital is assumed to be

lower than in a rights issue since any discount is likely to be smaller and

subscription guarantees are avoided. On this basis, and based on an assessment

of the current equity markets, the Company's Board of Directors has considered

the Private Placement to be in the common interest of the Company and its

shareholders. As a consequence of the Private Placement structure, the

shareholders' preferential rights were deviated from.

The new shares allocated in the Private Placement will be settled through a

delivery versus payment transaction on a regular T+2 basis by delivery of

existing and unencumbered shares in the Company that are already listed on Oslo

Stock Exchange pursuant to a share lending agreement between DNB Markets, part

of DNB Bank ASA (on behalf of the Managers), the Company and Feok AS. The shares

delivered to the investors will thus be tradable upon allocation. The Board of

Directors has resolved to issue 12,987,012 new shares in the Private Placement

pursuant to an authorization to increase the share capital, granted by the

general meeting on 23 May 2019. Following registration of the new share capital

pertaining to the Private Placement, the Company will have 78,721,123 shares

outstanding, each with a par value of NOK 0.10.

The following primary insiders subscribed for and were allocated shares in the

Private Placement:

Feok AS, represented on the Board of Directors by Martin Nes was allocated

2,077,922 Offer Shares in the Private Placement. Feok AS and associated

companies will hold 18,377,922 shares in the Company, corresponding to
