Approval and publication of prospectus
The Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority has today, 13 March 2026, approved a prospectus prepared by the Company (the "Prospectus") in connection with the Subsequent Offering and the listing of the Offer Shares.
The subscription form and the Prospectus will, subject to regulatory restrictions in certain jurisdictions, be made available at the websites of Pareto Securities AS (the “Manager”): www.paretosec.com/transactions.
The Subsequent Offering
The Subsequent Offering comprises an offer of up to 3,500,000 new shares in the Company, each with a par value of NOK 0.50, at a fixed subscription price of NOK 5.20 per Offer Share, equal to the Offer Price in the Private Placement. Subject to all Offer Shares being issued, the Subsequent Offering will raise gross proceeds of approx. NOK 18.2 million.
The subscription period in the Subsequent Offering will commence on 16 March 2026 at 09:00 CET, and expire on 27 March 2026 at 16:30 CET (the "Subscription Period") (subject to any extension).
The Subsequent Offering will be directed towards shareholders in the Company as of 29 January 2026 (as registered in the VPS two trading days thereafter (2 February 2026) (the "Record Date")), who (i) held less than 4% of the shares outstanding in the Company, (ii) were not allocated shares in the Private Placement, and (iii) are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or, for jurisdictions other than Norway, would require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar action (such eligible shareholders collectively referred to herein as the "Eligible Shareholders").
Each Eligible Shareholder will be granted 0.129877 non-transferable subscription right (the "Subscription Rights") for every existing share registered as held by such Eligible Shareholder in the VPS as of the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole Subscription Right. Each Subscription Right will, subject to applicable law, give the right to subscribe for, and be allocated, one (1) Offer Share in the Subsequent Offering. The Company reserves the right to reduce the number of Offer Shares which one Subscription Right entitles Eligible Shareholders to receive in the event that (i) additional Eligible Shareholders are identified after the date of this Prospectus, and (ii) the Company receives in excess of 3,500,000 valid subscriptions with Subscription Rights in the Subsequent Offering. Any such reduction will be made on an equal basis and uniformly applied to all subscribers in the Subsequent Offering.
Oversubscription and subscription without Subscription Rights will not be permitted. The Subscription Rights will not be tradable. The Subscription Rights must be used to subscribe for Offer Shares prior to expiry of the Subscription Period on 27 March 2026 at 16:30 CET. Subscription Rights that are not used to subscribe for Offer Shares before the expiry of the Subscription Period will have no value and will lapse without compensation to the holder.
Subscription for Offer Shares may be made by submitting a correctly completed subscription form, attached as Appendix B to the Prospectus, to the Manager in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Prospectus. Eligible Shareholders who are residents of Norway with a Norwegian national identity number (Nw.: fødsels- og personnummer) may subscribe for Offer Shares by way of online subscription. The subscription form and further instructions regarding the subscription procedure are available in the Prospectus.
Notifications of allocated Offer Shares and the corresponding subscription amount to be paid are expected to be made available to subscribers on or about 30 March 2026. The payment date for the Offer Shares allocated in the Subsequent Offering is expected to be on or about 1 April 2026. Subject to timely payment of the Offer Shares, the Company expects that the share capital increase pertaining to the Subsequent Offering will be registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises on or about 10 April 2026 and that the Offer Shares will commence trading on Euronext Oslo Børs on or about 13 April 2026.
Additional information regarding the Subsequent Offering, including procedures for subscription, payment and delivery of the Offer Shares, is set out in the Prospectus.
