STOCK EXCHANGE NOTICE
Zalaris ASA - Stabilisation and over-allotment option
notice
Oslo, 20 June 2014: Reference is made to the stock
exchange announcement published on 19 June 2014 in
which Zalaris ASA ("Zalaris" or the "Company")
announced the successful completion of the
bookbuilding period for its initial public offering
(the "Offering").
ABG Sundal Collier Norge ASA (the "Stabilisation
Manager") may, on behalf of the Joint Bookrunners for
the Offering, engage in stabilisation activities for
the shares of Zalaris from today, 20 June 2014, to
and including 18 July 2014 (the "Stabilisation
Period"). The stabilisation transactions are aimed to
support the market price of the shares of Zalaris.
In connection with the Offering, the Joint
Bookrunners have over-allotted to the applicants in
the Offering 1,215,720 shares in Zalaris, which
equals 15% of the number of shares allocated in the
Offering before over-allotments. In order to permit
the delivery in respect of over-allotments made, the
Stabilisation Manager has been granted the option, on
behalf of the Joint Bookrunners, to borrow a number
of shares in the Company equal to the number of
shares over-allotted from certain of the existing
shareholders of the Company. For further details on
the Offering, please refer to the stock exchange
notice of 19 June 2014 issued by Zalaris.
Further, the Stabilisation Manager, on behalf of the
Joint Bookrunners, has been granted an over-allotment
option (the "Over-Allotment Option") by the same
existing shareholders in the Company which entitles
the Joint Bookrunners, at the request of the
Stabilisation Manager, to purchase from such existing
shareholders at one time only up to 1,215,720 shares
in Zalaris at a price per share of NOK 23 (the "Offer
Price"), which is equal to the offer price in the
Offering. The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised
at any time, in whole or in part, during the
Stabilisation Period. The Stabilisation Manager may
close out the short position created by over-
allotting shares by buying shares in the open market
through stabilisation activities and/or by exercising
the Over-Allotment Option.
The Stabilisation Manager (or persons acting on
behalf of the Stabilisation Manager) may effect
transactions that stabilise or maintain the price of
the shares of Zalaris at a level higher than that
which might otherwise prevail, by buying shares in
Zalaris or associated instruments in the open market
at prices equal to or lower than (but not above) the
Offer Price. However, there is no obligation on the
Stabilisation Manager (or any person 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
stopped at any time, and must be brought to an end
upon or before 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 the Oslo
Stock Exchange under the Company's ticker with
information as to whether or not any stabilisation
activities have been undertaken, including the date
at which stabilisation started, the date at which
stabilisation last occurred, and the price range
within which stabilisation was carried out for each
of the dates during which 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 as regards
exemptions for buy-back programmes and stabilisation
of financial instruments.
For further details see the prospectus dated 5 June
2014 issued by Zalaris in connection with the
Offering and the listing of its shares on the Oslo
Stock Exchange.
ABG Sundal Collier Norge ASA and Nordea Markets are
acting as joint lead managers and bookrunners in
connection with the listing and the Offering.
