to as the "Subsequent Offerings".

Solstad Offshore received applications for a total of

4,566,255 ordinary shares (to be renamed Class A

Shares upon completion of the merger of Rem Offshore

ASA with Solship Invest 1 AS) in the Solstad

Subsequent Offering and 45,639 Class B shares in the

Rem Subsequent Offering. This corresponds to an

oversubscription of 43% in the Solstad Subsequent

Offering and no oversubscription in the Rem Subsequent

Offering.

Allocation of 3,188,811 ordinary shares in the Solstad

Subsequent Offering and a conditional allocation of

45,639 Class B Shares in the Rem Subsequent Offering

were approved by the Board of Directors in Solstad

Offshore on 28 October 2016 based on the allocation

criteria set out in the Prospectus.

In accordance with the authorisation to increase the

share capital granted by the extraordinary general

meeting of Solstad Offshore on 13 July 2016, the Board

of Directors of Solstad Offshore today has resolved to

increase the share capital with NOK 6,377,622, from
