(Oslo, Norway, 16 November 2023)

Standard Supply AS (Standard Supply, OSE:STSU) reported an EBITDA of USD 6.5
million in the third quarter of 2023. Time charter equivalent earnings (TCE)
were USD 16,700 per day and the utilization was 96% based on availability. Per
the trading update in October, the Board of Directors has declared a dividend
distribution of NOK 0.50 per share for the third quarter of 2023. 

"Earlier this week we reported the en-bloc sale ("Transaction") of the three
large sized PSVs Standard Viking, Standard Supplier and Standard Defender for a
gross USD 72.2 million by entering Memorandum of Agreement for sale of each
vessel. Adjusting for ownership, proceeds to Standard Supply will be gross USD
69.5 million. The Transaction is contingent upon certain conditions to be lifted
within end-November, and completion is expected no later than mid-January 2024",
says Martin Nes, Chairman of the Board of Standard Supply. 

He adds, "Standard Supply was always intended to be an asset play with an
opportunistic approach towards the market. We have seen a robust recovery within
the PSV market since the IPO in 2022, and opting to realize our gains at this
juncture aligns with our strategy. As with previous sales, we intend to return
capital to our shareholders". 

Following the sale, the Company will control a fleet of four PSVs with 51%
ownership interest. Three of the four vessels are on short-term contracts and
available for new charters in the upcoming months. 

The Company reported an EBITDA of USD 6.5 million in the third quarter of 2023,
up from USD 4.8 million in the same quarter of 2022. At the end of the quarter
the Group's consolidated net cash and working capital stood at USD 14.9 million
and USD 11.5 million when adjusting for ownership

Based on the third quarter results and the authorization to distribute dividends
given to the Board of Directors on the annual general meeting, the Board of
Directors has passed a resolution to distribute dividends of NOK 0.50 per share
through reduction of other paid-in equity with an ex. date in late November and
payment in early December. Further information will be given in due course.

The third quarter report is enclosed.
