The Subscription Rights will be listed and tradable on the Oslo Stock Exchange from 30 November 2021 to 16:30 hours CET on 10 December 2021 under the ticker code "TRVXT". The Subscription Rights will hence only be tradable during a part of the subscription period.

The underwriting:
The Rights Issue is underwritten by certain new and existing shareholders of the Company (the "Underwriters"), in accordance with an underwriting agreement dated 3 November 2021 (the "Underwriting Agreement"). Pursuant to, and subject to, the terms and conditions set out in the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters have undertaken to guarantee on a pro-rata basis (not jointly) to subscribe for the Offer Shares in the Rights Issue, with a total underwritten amount of approximately NOK 166.9 million. Further, AP4 (The Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund) has indicated a pro rata subscription in the Rights Issue, bringing the total underwritten and pre-subscribed amount to approximately NOK 175 million.
The Offer Shares in the Rights Issue which are not subscribed upon expiration of the subscription period (if any), will thus be subscribed by and allocated to the Underwriters.
The Company may terminate the Underwriting Agreement in its sole discretion at any time prior to the registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the Rights Issue with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. Prior to that date, the Underwriters may terminate the Underwriting Agreement in the event that the Company is in material breach of the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriters' obligations expire in the event that they have not been notified of any allotment under the Underwriting Agreement within 15 January 2022. In such event, the Rights Issue will be withdrawn unless it is fully subscribed. See Section 11.3 "Conditions for completion of the Rights Issue" for a description of the consequences of a withdrawal of the Rights Issue.
If the Rights Issue is withdrawn, all Subscription Rights will lapse without value, any subscriptions for, and allocations of, Offer Shares that have been made will be disregarded and any payments for Offer Shares made will be returned to the subscribers without interest or any other compensation. The lapsing of Subscription Rights shall be without prejudice to the validity of any trades in Subscription Rights, and investors will not receive any refund or compensation in respect of Subscription Rights purchased in the market.
Financial intermediaries:
If an Existing Shareholder holds shares in the Company registered through a financial intermediary on the Record Date, the financial intermediary will customarily give the Existing Shareholder details of the aggregate number of Subscription Rights to which it will be entitled. The relevant financial intermediary will customarily supply each Existing Shareholder with this information in accordance with its usual customer relations procedures. Existing Shareholders holding their shares in the Company through a financial intermediary should contact the financial intermediary if they have received no information with respect to the Rights Issue.
Listing and commencement of trading in the Offer Shares:
Subject to timely payment of the entire subscription amount in the Rights Issue, the Company expects that the share capital increase pertaining to the Rights Issue will be registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises on or about 21 December 2021 and that the Offer Shares will be delivered to the VPS accounts of the subscribers to whom they are allocated on or about the next day. The Offer Shares are expected to be tradable on the Oslo Stock Exchange from and including 22 December 2021.
