Further reference is made to the stock exchange announcement on 29 August 2020 regarding the prospectus published on 29 August 2020 in connection with the listing of shares issued in the private placement, as announced on 23 July 2020 (the “Private Placement”), and the listing and offering of shares in the Subsequent Offering (the “Prospectus”).

The subscription period will commence today, on 1 September 2020, and expire at 16:30 hours (CEST) on 15 September 2020 (the "Subscription Period").

Eligible shareholders, being shareholders of the Company as of 23 July 2020 (and being registered as such in the VPS on 27 July 2020, pursuant to the two days' settlement procedure in the VPS (the "Record Date")), who were not allocated shares in the Private Placement, and who are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful, or (for jurisdictions other than Norway) would require any filing, registration or similar action, may subscribe for shares in the Subsequent Offering ("Eligible Shareholders").  Eligible Shareholders will be granted transferable subscription rights (the "Subscription Rights") that, subject to applicable law, provide rights to subscribe for and be allocated Offer Shares at the subscription price.

Each Eligible Shareholder has been granted 0.337792737987746 transferable subscription rights for every share owned in the Company as of the Record Date.

The Subscription Rights must be used to subscribe for Offer Shares before the expiry of the Subscription Period. Subscription Rights that are not used to subscribe for Offer Shares before such deadline will have no value and will lapse without compensation to the holder.
