ABL Group ASA's (ABL Group) Board of Directors has appointed Hege Marie Norheim
as new CEO of the ABL Group. She succeeds Reuben Segal, who takes on the role as
Chief Growth Officer (CGO). 

"The Board is delighted that Hege Marie Norheim has accepted the CEO role and
that 'Mr ABL' Reuben Segal remains with the company he co-founded, to drive
further growth. Hege Marie already knows ABL Group well, having served on the
Board for the past two years, while Reuben takes the CGO role that is perfectly
suited to his customer-centric skillset and global network. The message from the
Board is to deliver improved and resilient return on capital, continued growth
and further consolidation of our industry. The combination of Hege Marie and
Reuben is ideal to deliver on this objective," says Glen Rødland, Chairman of
ABL Group.  

Hege Marie Norheim is a seasoned industry professional with 30 years' experience
from senior leadership roles. She has extensive experience in oil and gas as
well as renewables experience from almost 15 years in Senior Vice
President-positions at Norsk Hydro and Statoil (now Equinor) as well at
NYSE-listed FREYR. She has worked globally as consultant for more than seven
years and has served as director on the board of multiple industry, finance and
technology companies, including ABL Group. Hege Marie Norheim is currently

Steria. She is a former junior minister of the Norwegian Prime Minister's office
as well as the Norwegian Ministry of Finance. Norheim holds a master's degree in
economics and business administration from NHH - the Norwegian School of
Economics. 
  
"Our main priority is to deliver profitable growth in a volatile energy and
marine market. Volatility and new technology will create opportunities for
global companies like ABL Group. We aim to achieve this by improving our
responsiveness to change and helping to design the future of the global energy
and maritime industries. Millions of people's affluence depends on our services
and the quality we deliver. I am proud to join such a large and highly competent
global team," says Hege Marie Norheim. 

Reuben Segal, who has been CEO of ABL Group since 2022, takes on the Chief
Growth Officer role. He has previously been COO and headed up the group's Middle
East operation. He co-founded the predecessor to ABL Group in 2013. 

"The Board and Hege Marie have asked me to use my industry experience and vast
global network to boost our work with new and existing clients and our
M&A-activities. This is a challenge I appreciate and enjoy, and which I have
accepted knowing that I am passing the CEO-baton onto a very capable leader in
Hege Marie," says Reuben Segal. 

ABL Group's current CCO, Ian Cummins, will take on the newly created title as
Chief Performance Officer - tasked with continuing his focus on performance and
strengthening the Group's previously announced drive to enhance operational
efficiencies. 

The management changes will be effective from 15 September 2025. As a result of
the changes, Hege Marie Norheim will step down as Board Member of ABL Group.
