Disclosure of major shareholding due to share lending

To facilitate delivery-versus-payment (DVP) settlement of the Offer Shares
allocated to investors in the Private Placement, existing shareholders in the
Company, AS Saturn and Tigerstaden AS (collectively, the "Share Lenders"), have
lent in aggregate 4,086,381 existing and unencumbered shares in the Company
already admitted to trading on Euronext Oslo Børs to Pareto Securities AS,
acting as settlement agent on behalf of the managers in the Private Placement,
pursuant to a share lending agreement.

Due to the share lending, the Share Lenders will temporarily reduce their
respective shareholdings in the Company, and, as a result, each of the Share
Lenders will fall below the 5% threshold pursuant to section 4-2 of the
Norwegian Securities Trading Act as follows (prior to registration of the Share
Capital Increase):

*  AS Saturn, having held 3,300,231 shares in the Company (representing ~5.18%
of the issued shares and votes prior to the registration of the Share Capital
Increase), has temporarily reduced its shareholding to 0 shares. AS Saturn is

reduced its consolidated shareholding to 2,599,263 shares. Tigerstaden AS is
ultimately controlled by Ketil Skorstad. Ketil Skorstad has no rights to further
shares or votes in the Company.

The disclosure obligation for Tigerstaden AS was triggered as a result of its
consolidated shareholding in the Company falling below the 5% threshold pursuant
to section 4-2 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act following the share
lending. Prior to the share lending, Tigerstaden AS' consolidated position in
the Company was held through the following legal entities:
