Following completion of the merger, LHC will hold 91,517,841 shares in the

information is provided in the attached forms.
The Oslo Stock Exchange, in its capacity as takeover supervisory authority, has
pursuant to a decision dated 26 September 2022 resolved to grant an exemption
from the mandatory bid obligation with respect to the merger as it does not

mandatory bid obligation pursuant to the section 6-2 (3) of the Norwegian
Securities Trading Act, if carried out before 31 December 2022.
