Vår Energi ASA announces pricing of Senior Notes Offering

Sandnes, Norway, 9 November 2022: Vår Energi ASA (OSE: VAR, the "Company") is

pleased to announce that it has priced its offering (the "Offering") of:

· USD 1 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.5% Senior Notes due 2028  (the

"2028 Notes") at a price equal to 99.218% of the aggregate principal amount

thereof; and

· USD 1 billion aggregate principal amount of 8% Senior Notes due 2032 (the

"2032 Notes" and, together with the 2028 Notes, the "Notes") at a price equal to

99.055% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.

Interest will be payable semi-annually. The Offering is expected to close on or

about November 15, 2022, subject to customary conditions precedent for similar

transactions. In connection with the Offering, the initial purchasers may engage

in stabilising transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the

Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. Any

stabilisation action must be conducted in accordance with all applicable laws

and rules. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for a

partial refinancing of the Company's bridge-to-bond facility maturing in

November 2023 and to pay transaction fees and expenses.
