8 January 2025: The Norwegian state, represented by the Norwegian Ministry of
Trade, Industry and Fisheries (the "NMTIF" or the "Vendor"), has retained ABG
Sundal Collier ASA and DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA, (jointly, the

offering (the "Placing"). 

The Vendor is contemplating selling up to 30,092,943 shares, representing
approximately 6.11% of the outstanding shares in the Company. The bookbuilding
process will commence immediately following the publication of this announcement
and may be closed at short notice or without notice at the full discretion of
the Vendor and the Managers. The Vendor reserves the right, at its own
discretion, to decide the number of shares to be sold, or to sell no shares at
all.

The minimum order and allocation in the Placing have been set to the NOK
equivalent of EUR 100,000. The Vendor may, at its sole discretion, allocate
amounts below the NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000 in the Placing to the extent
applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirement pursuant to the Prospectus
Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and ancillary
regulations are available.

The Placing is expected to be priced and allocated before 09:00 CET on 9 January
2025 (T). The settlement in the Placing will be conducted on a normal
delivery-versus-payment basis (DVP, T+2).

The NMTIF currently holds 30,092,943 shares in the Company, representing 6.11%
of the outstanding share capital in the Company. The Vendor is not represented
