Mandatory Offer Restrictions

The distribution of the Mandatory Offer Document and the making of the Mandatory
Offer may in certain jurisdictions ("Restricted Jurisdictions") be restricted by
law. Therefore, persons obtaining the Mandatory Offer Document or into whose
possession the Mandatory Offer Document otherwise comes, are required to, and
should inform themselves of and observe, all such restrictions. The Offeror and
the Receiving Agent do not accept or assume any responsibility or liability for
any violation by any person whomsoever of any such restriction.

The Mandatory Offer Document is not directed to persons whose participation in
the Mandatory Offer requires that further offer documents are issued or that
registration or other measures are taken, other than those required under
Norwegian law, provided, however, that the Mandatory Offer is made to Magseis
Fairfield shareholders resident in the United States, see further below. No
document or materials relating to the Mandatory Offer may be distributed in or
into any jurisdiction where such distribution or offering requires any of the
aforementioned measures to be taken or would be in conflict with any law or
regulation of such a jurisdiction. In the event of such distribution or offering
still being made, an Acceptance Form sent from such a country may be
disregarded.

The Mandatory Offer Document does not represent an offer to acquire or obtain
securities other than Magseis Fairfield shares. The Mandatory Offer is not open
to any Magseis Fairfield shareholder in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful
for any person to receive or accept the Mandatory Offer. No action has been
taken to permit the distribution of the Mandatory Offer in any jurisdiction
where action would be required for such purposes (except Norway).

The Mandatory Offer is not being made and will not be made, directly or
indirectly, in or into the Restricted Jurisdictions. The Mandatory Offer
Document, and any and all materials related thereto, should not be sent or
otherwise distributed in or into the Restricted Jurisdictions, and the Mandatory
Offer cannot be accepted by any such use, means or instrumentality, in or from
within Restricted Jurisdictions. Accordingly, copies of the Mandatory Offer
Document and any related materials are not being, and must not be, sent or
otherwise distributed in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction or, in
their capacities as such, to custodians, trustees or nominees holding shares in
Magseis Fairfield for persons in any Restricted Jurisdictions, and persons
receiving any such documents (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must
not distribute or send them in, into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction. Any
purported acceptance of the Mandatory Offer resulting directly or indirectly
from a violation of these restrictions will be invalid.

Notice to U.S. Investors

The Mandatory Offer is being made for securities of a Norwegian company, and
Magseis Fairfield Shareholders in the United States should be aware that the
Mandatory Offer Document and any other documents relating to the Mandatory Offer
have been or will be prepared in accordance with Norwegian law, format and
style, all of which differ from those in the United States. All financial
information that is included in the Mandatory Offer Document, or any other
documents relating to the Mandatory Offer, have been or will be prepared in
accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by
the EU (the "IFRS") and may not be comparable to financial statements of
companies in the United States or other companies whose financial statements are
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") nor any U.S. state
securities commission has approved or disapproved the Mandatory Offer or passed
any comment upon the adequacy or completeness of the Mandatory Offer Document.
Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.
Nothing in the Mandatory Offer Document shall be deemed an acknowledgement that
any SEC filing is required or that an offer requiring registration under the
U.S. Securities Act may ever occur in connection with the Mandatory Offer. The
Mandatory Offer will be made in the United States pursuant to Section 14(e) of,
and Regulation 14E under, the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "U.S. Exchange Act"), and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of
Norwegian law. Accordingly, the Mandatory Offer will be subject to disclosure
and other procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights
that are different from those applicable under United States domestic tender
offer procedures and law, as described elsewhere in the Mandatory Offer
Document.
