to be disclosed under the laws of a member state

During 2023, Magnora's renewable business shifted gears with considerable growth
in profits. Consequently, the rationale of keeping legacy revenues linked to the
FPSO business in the same entity as the renewables business is no longer
present. On 18 January, the board of Magnora approved a plan to establish a
separate entity for Magnora's Legacy Business (that is the contracts linked to
the Company's divested FPSO business).

Technically, the separation combines a demerger followed by a merger to transfer
the Company's Licensing Business to a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnora. This
requires an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in Magnora.

The Legacy Business is related to Magnora's historical business activities. In
2018, Magnora sold its formerly core business which included patents and related
technology rights associated with the FPSO technology business. However, Magnora
retained the right to use the technology under two existing agreements for two
FPSOs, one of which was already in operation (the Western Isles FPSO) and the
other soon to enter operations (The Penguins FPSO).

The Company currently receives payments for licensing out patents and associated
technology rights as mentioned above. Further information about its Legacy
Business has been provided regularly in its financial reporting and company
presentations.

Aligned with the stock exchange release dated 28 August 2023, and as a
consequence of the corporate restructuring mentioned above, the Licensing
Business will become a subsidiary. Following this restructuring, the Company
intends to spin off the Legacy Business to its shareholders as a new listed
company on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Irrespective of this, the strategic process
continues.

The demerger plan and the merger plan will be submitted for registration with
the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises today. Further information and
the proposed resolutions will be included in the notice of the extraordinary
general meeting which is to be held in mid-February 2024. Initially, the
transactions will not result in any direct changes for the shareholders of
Magnora and no shareholder of Magnora will receive and own any new shares in any
company following completion of the demerger and triangular merger. However, the
Company intends to complete the necessary steps to spin off the company as
explained above. The Company will update the market with a schedule in due
course.
