In order to simplify the corporate structure and to fulfill Norwegian regulatory requirements, the boards of directors of the Company and its now wholly owned subsidiary Vår Energi Norge AS have entered into a joint plan for an intra-group merger of the two entities. Pursuant to the terms of the merger plan, the merger will be structured as a simplified merger between a parent company and a wholly-owned subsidiary without merger consideration, and with the Company as the surviving and acquiring entity.

The merger plan will be registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and made available on the Company's website. The shareholders of Vår Energi will also receive a written notification of the merger.

Subject to due and timely approvals and other conditions, completion of the merger is expected to occur around the end of the second quarter of 2024.
