subscription price per share of NOK 0.10 and no consideration for the warrant.

Each warrant holder may exercise all or some of its warrants in the period

beginning on 3 March 2025 and ending on 14 March 2025. Exercise shall be carried

abovementioned exercise period. The subscription price upon exercise of the

Out of the maximum number of new shares to be issued in the rights issue, a

maximum of   122 010 100 new shares will be issued to the part of the

shareholder based which trades shares in Norway through Euronext Securities Oslo

(VPS) (the "Norwegian Offering"), and a maximum of 275 203 276 new shares will

be issued to the part of the shareholder based which trades shares in Sweden

through Euroclear Sweden AB (the "Swedish Offering"). The split is based on the

relationship between the trade in the two countries as per the end of 7 November

2024, and there will from and including 7 November 2024 temporarily be imposed a

block for repositioning of trading in the shares in the Company between the two

systems until and including the record date in the Rights Issue.
