of the lock-up period.

board of directors of the Company has allocated a total of 12 266 new shares to
the participants in the Employee Share Purchase Program (the "Program Shares").
Furthermore, the board of directors has, on the basis of the authorisation
granted to it by the annual general meeting held on 16 April 2024, resolved to
increase the share capital of the Company with NOK 73 596, by issuance of
12,266 new shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 6.00, at a subscription
price equal to the Offer Price. The Program Shares comprise approximately 0.01%
of the existing and outstanding shares in the Company prior to their issuance.

Register of Business Enterprises (Nw.: Foretaksregisteret), the new share
capital of the Company will be NOK 526 110 084, divided into 87 685 014 shares,
