Reference is made to previous stock exchange notices from 2015 - 2018, with the
latest notice on June 28, 2018.

On July 3, 2018, the district court in Glostrup, Denmark informed seven former
employees of Atea A/S ("Atea Denmark") that they would be prosecuted for bribery
carried out during a period between 2009 - 2014. The indictment involves
allegations that these employees provided consumer electronics, including PCs,
mobile phones and other devices, for free or at a discount to public sector
employees involved in IT procurement.

The case has been public for several years, and was the result of an
investigation which began in June 2015. Several public sector employees have
already been prosecuted and sentenced in this case. The public prosecutor has
now expanded the scope of the prosecution to cover former employees of Atea
Denmark.

Under Danish law, a company can be held legally responsible for actions
undertaken by employees. As a result, Atea A/S (Atea Denmark) has been
prosecuted as the legally responsible entity for the actions of these seven
former employees.

"This is not a new case, but an extension of an existing case that is already
well-known. None of the individuals who are implicated in the indictment are
currently employed at Atea. Atea has provided full support for the police
investigation into the actions of these former employees. At the same time, Atea
has responded by implementing strong measures to prevent misconduct and to
ensure compliance with our Code of Conduct and the highest standards of ethics."

These measures include the following:

  ·  Atea Denmark has conducted a "self-cleaning" program in accordance with EU
legislation
  ·  Atea Denmark has received the highest international anti-bribery
certification (ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Systems)
  ·  The Atea Group has established a thorough compliance system, including
comprehensive control procedures
  ·  The Code of Conduct of Atea has been updated and strengthened
  ·  All employees of the Atea Group are required to complete a training program
and a test in ethics and the Code of Conduct - with zero tolerance for breach
  ·  The anonymous whistleblower system has been strengthened for those who wish
to report violations of the Code of Conduct or of relevant law
  ·  A compliance committee has been established in the Board of Directors (Atea
ASA)
  ·  The CFO of Atea ASA, Robert Giori, has been appointed as Group Compliance
Officer
  ·  All business units report on compliance quarterly in order to make sure
that the governance systems are working.
