17 June 2025: Reference is made to the announcements of 29 April and 27 May 2025
regarding an unconditional mandatory cash offer made by Electric AS (the
"Offeror"), a company jointly owned by Geveran Trading Co Ltd, Wilhelmsen New
Energy AS and EPS Ventures Ltd (the "Shareholders"), to acquire all issued and
outstanding shares in Edda Wind ASA (the "Company" or "Edda Wind") not already
owned by the Offeror (the "Mandatory Offer") against a cash consideration of NOK
23.00 per share (the "Offer Price"). The terms and conditions of the Mandatory
Offer are set forth in an offer document from the Offeror approved by the
Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (the "NFSA") on 27 May 2025 (the
"Offer Document").

The directors on the board who are related to the Offeror and/or the
Shareholders, being Geir Flæsen, Adrian Geelmuyden and Duncan Bullock, have not
participated in the Company's proceedings in relation to the Mandatory Offer. In
its decision of 22 May 2025, the NFSA has, acting in its capacity as the
Norwegian takeover authority, decided that the independent directors of the
board, Martha Kold Monclair and Toril Eidesvik (the "Independent Directors"),
may issue this statement pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act (the
"NSTA") Section 6-16 in connection with the Mandatory Offer. The Independent
Directors hereby express their view on the Mandatory Offer.

INTRODUCTION

On 29 April 2025, the Offeror and the Shareholders announced that an
unconditional mandatory cash offer for all shares in the Company would be made.
In connection with the announcement of the Mandatory Offer, the Offeror acquired
2,771,036 shares of the Company owned by funds managed by Nordea for a cash
consideration of NOK 23.00 per share, following which the Offeror and the
Shareholders together controlled 108,988,698 shares, representing approximately
84.3% of the outstanding shares and votes in the Company. Subsequently on 29
April 2025, the Offeror disclosed that it had acquired an additional 7,709,828
shares at an average price of NOK 22.889 per share, increasing the Offeror's and
the Shareholders' ownership to approximately 90.2%, and thereby surpassing the
threshold for compulsory acquisition pursuant to Section 4-25 of the Norwegian
Public Companies Act (the "NPCA"). Additional shares were acquired by the
Offeror in the period from 29 April to 19 May 2025. On 27 May 2025, the Offeror
acquired the shares held by the Shareholders, following which the Offeror held
123,147,663 shares, representing approximately 95.2% of the Company's
outstanding shares and votes. 

Simultaneously with launching the Mandatory Offer, the Offeror announced that it
had resolved a compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares in the Company not
already held by it (the "Compulsory Acquisition") at a redemption price equal to
the Offer Price, i.e. NOK 23.00 in cash per share. Consequently, the Offeror is
the owner of 100% of the shares of the Company as from 27 May 2025.

KEY ASPECTS OF THE MANDATORY OFFER

The Offeror is, pursuant to Chapter 6 of the NSTA, required to offer
shareholders in the Mandatory Offer consideration at least equal to what the
Offeror has paid or agreed to pay for shares in the Company during the last six
months prior to the obligation to launch the Mandatory Offer was triggered. In
accordance with Section 6 14 of the NSTA, the Offer Price and the Offer Document
have been approved by the NFSA. Based on the approval by the NFSA of the Offer
Price, the Independent Directors have assumed that neither the Offeror nor the
Shareholders have acquired shares at a higher price than NOK 23.00 during last
six months prior to the obligation to launch the Mandatory Offer was triggered
or in the period from triggering the Mandatory Offer until the date of the Offer
Document. 

The Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 32.9% to the closing share
price on 28 April 2025, the last trading day immediately prior to the
announcement of the Mandatory Offer. The Offer Price further represents a
premium of 33.0% to the 90-day volume weighted average share price on 28 April
2025. The Offer Price values the total share capital of the Company at a market
capitalization of approximately NOK 2,974 million.

Pursuant to the Offer Document, shareholders who accept the Mandatory Offer will
receive settlement no later than two weeks after the expiry of the acceptance
period, and no later than 11 July 2025. Shareholders who do not take any action
to accept the Mandatory Offer and remain passive will, upon the expiry of the
statutory objection deadline for the Compulsory Acquisition on 28 July 2025, be
deemed to have accepted the amount offered in the Compulsory Acquisition, and
will receive settlement within two weeks after such date. Consequently, the
Independent Directors note that accepting the Mandatory Offer will enable
shareholders to receive settlement at the earliest time possible.

The complete terms and conditions of the Mandatory Offer and the Compulsory
Acquisition are set out in the Offer Document. The Independent Directors have
been informed that the Offer Document has been sent to the Company's
shareholders who can legally receive the Mandatory Offer.

THE MANDATORY OFFER'S IMPACT ON THE COMPANY AND ITS EMPLOYEES

Pursuant to the Offer Document, the Offeror has no current plans to make changes
to the Company's workforce or senior management after the completion of the
Mandatory Offer or the Compulsory Acquisition except in the ordinary course of
business. Further, the Offeror states that completion of the Mandatory Offer and
the Compulsory Acquisition is not expected to have any legal, financial, or
employment consequences for the employees of the Company. As at the date of the
Offer Document, the Offeror has no specific plans to make any reorganization of
the Company or its subsidiaries.

No payments or other benefits of any kind, or prospects of such payments or
benefits, are intended to be paid by the Offeror or the Shareholders to the
directors of the board or members of the management of the Company in connection
with the settlement of the Mandatory Offer.

THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS' ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATION

The Independent Directors have carefully reviewed and evaluated the terms and
conditions of the Mandatory Offer and have taken into consideration the factors
they regard as material for the evaluation of whether the Mandatory Offer should
be accepted by the shareholders of Edda Wind. The Independent Directors have
consulted with its legal advisors, as well as with the management of the
Company.

The Independent Directors are of the opinion that the Offer Price under the
Mandatory Offer reflects the current value of Edda Wind. After careful
consideration, the Independent Directors have concluded that the Mandatory Offer
is attractive and in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. As
part of their assessment of the Mandatory Offer, the Independent Directors have
noted that shareholders holding approximately 10.9% of the Company's shares have
agreed to sell their shares at or below the Offer Price following the
announcement of the Mandatory Offer on 29 April 2025, indicating that the Offer
Price has been considered attractive by investors holding a large portion of the
free float in the Company. Therefore, the Independent Directors have decided to
unanimously recommend the Company's shareholders to accept the Mandatory Offer.

The Independent Director's evaluation of the Mandatory Offer does not provide
any certainty for future market prices of the Company's shares or future
development. Shareholders are encouraged to thoroughly review the Offer Document
and weigh their options based on the information provided in this statement,
along with other publicly accessible information. Ultimately, shareholders
should form their own independent opinion on whether to accept or decline the
Mandatory Offer.

Offer, directly or indirectly, purchase or arrange to purchase, shares or any
securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such
shares outside the United States during the period in which the Mandatory Offer

comply with applicable Norwegian law and practice and the provisions of such
exemption. To the extent information about such purchases or arrangements to
purchase is made public in Norway, such information will be disclosed by means
of a press release or other means reasonably calculated to inform U.S. Holders
of such information. In addition, the Offeror's financial advisor may also
engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of the Company, which
may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities.

Offer Document or any other documentation relating to the Mandatory Offer been
reviewed for accuracy, completeness or fairness by the SEC nor any securities
supervisory authority of any state or other jurisdiction in the United States.
