29 January 2025 - Reference is made to the announcement made by Philly Shipyard
ASA (the "Company") on 19 December 2024 regarding the successful completion of
the sale of Philly Shipyard, Inc. to Hanwha (the "Transaction") for a purchase
price of USD 100 million.

o	The Board has today proposed an extraordinary cash dividend of USD 6.08 per
share, in total approx. USD 73.6 million, which is the maximum distribution
permitted under Norwegian law based on an interim balance sheet dated 30
December 2024.

o	The remaining cash in the Company at liquidation, estimated to approx. USD
10.4 million, excluding the Escrow Funds (as defined below) is expected to be
distributed as liquidation dividend to the shareholders as part of the proposed
liquidation of the Company, expected to be concluded during Q2 2025.

o	Subject to any claims under the SPA with Hanwha, the Escrow Funds are expected
to be distributed four years after the closing of the Transaction. 

Upon completion of the Transaction, the Company received approximately USD 100
million in cash, which included the USD 10 million of the Transaction proceeds
(the "Escrow Funds") that the Company is obligated to maintain in an escrow
account related to certain contingent liabilities of the Company under the share
purchase agreement ("SPA") for the Transaction for a period of up to four years
following closing of the Transaction (the "Escrow Period").
 
Based on an audited interim balance sheet dated 30 December 2024, the Board of
Directors has proposed to pay an extraordinary cash dividend of USD 6.08 per
share, in total USD 73,616,038.08 (the "Dividend"), pending approval by an
extraordinary general meeting in the Company expected to be held on or about 19
February 2025 (the "EGM"). The proposed Dividend constitutes the maximum capital
that the Company currently has available for distribution, cf. the Norwegian
Public Companies Act section 8-1. The Board has proposed that the Company's
shareholders as of 19 February 2025 (as shown in the VPS on 21 February 2025)
are eligible to receive the Dividend, which is expected to be paid out in NOK on
or about 28 February 2025. 

In light of completion of the Transaction, the board has also resolved to
propose to liquidate the Company as there is no operational or investment
activity left in the Company. The proposal to liquidate is subject to approval
by the EGM, following which the Company expects the liquidation process to be
completed within H1 2025.

Provided that the EGM resolves to liquidate the Company, the remaining
unrestricted cash in the Company, after distribution of the Dividend (if
approved) as well as certain liquidation and operating costs, will be
distributed as a liquidation distribution to the Company's shareholders as soon
as permissible under Norwegian law. 

Promptly after expiry of the Escrow Period, the Escrow Funds are, if and when
released to the Company, in part or in whole, expected to be distributed as a
subsequent distribution (Nw. etterutlodning) to the Company's shareholders
entitled to liquidation distribution, distributed on a pro rata basis. The
amount of such subsequent distribution, if any, will depend on whether any of
the contingent liabilities that the Escrow Funds are intended to secure are
triggered. If any such liabilities are triggered in accordance with the terms of
the SPA, a relative portion of the Escrow Funds will be released to Hanwha and
not the Company. There is accordingly no guarantee that any of the Escrow Funds
are actually released to the Company and distributed to its shareholders. 
The Company will in due course provide more information regarding the payment of
the liquidation distribution and the potential subsequent distribution of the
Escrow Funds, if the EGM resolves to liquidate the Company.
