SETTLEMENT OF THE OFFER

The Offeror hereby announces that settlement of the Offer has been made in
accordance with section 4.20 of the Offer Document (the "Settlement"). Following
the Settlement, and as of today, the Offeror holds in total 159,308,304 shares
in the Company, equaling approximately 99.8% of the Shares of the Company.

Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), Oslo Branch (the "Receiving Agent") has
carried out the Settlement of the Offer for shareholders who had accepted the
Offer by returning the Acceptance Forms before the close of the Offer Period
(the "Accepting Shareholders") for both the (i) Accepting Shareholders who
accepted a cash offer price of NOK 24 per Share in the Company (the "Cash
Consideration"), and (ii) the Accepting Shareholders who accepted the share
alternative, whereby the Accepting Shareholder elected to receive Settlement in
the form of shares in the Offeror on a 1:1 basis (the "Securities
Consideration").

CASH CONSIDERATION

The Receiving Agent has as of today transferred tendered Shares registered with
the Norwegian Central Securities Depositaries to a securities account in the
name of the Offeror on behalf of the Accepting Shareholders who had accepted the
Cash Consideration against payment of the Cash Consideration. The Accepting
Shareholders who elected the Cash Consideration are expected to receive the
Settlement amount on their respective bank accounts on or about 24 November
2023.

SECURITIES CONSIDERATION
 
On 22 November 2023, the board of directors of the Offeror resolved to issue new
shares to the Accepting Shareholders who had accepted the Share Consideration by
way of Accepting Shareholders contributing existing shares as a contribution in
kind on a 1:1 basis. On 22 November 2023, the Receiving Agent transferred
tendered Shares registered with the Norwegian Central Securities Depositary to a
securities account in the name of the Offeror on behalf of Accepting
Shareholders who had accepted the Share Consideration, and signed the
subscription form of new shares in the Offeror on behalf of the Accepting
Shareholders who accepted the Share Consideration, in accordance with the proxy
given to the Receiving Agent in the Acceptance Forms. The Bermuda Monetary
Authority approved the issuance of new shares in the Offeror as of today and the
Accepting Shareholders are registered in the register of members in the Offeror
as of today. 

COMPULSORY ACQUISITION 

As announced by the Offeror on 26 October 2023, the Offeror has received valid
acceptances pursuant to the Offer of not less than 90 per cent of the total
number of Offer Shares in issue (other than those already held, or treated to be
held by the Offeror as at 16:00 CEST on 25 October 2023), and the Offeror is
entitled to exercise its right under Section 215(1) of the Companies Act to
compulsorily acquire all the Offer Shares held by Shareholders who has not
accepted the Offer ("Dissenting Shareholders") as at the Closing Date (being
16:30 CET on 20 November 2023) on the same terms as those offered under the
Offer.

As announced by the Offeror on 26 October 2023, the Offeror has on 26 October
2023 given notice in the form prescribed under the Companies Act ("Form 57")
pursuant to Section 215(1) of the Companies Act, together with a cover letter
(the "Letter"), to the Dissenting Shareholders.

On 26 October 2023, the Offeror has also despatched, together with the Letter, a
Notice to Non-Assenting Shareholder in the form prescribed under the Companies
Act ("Form 58"). Each Dissenting Shareholder is entitled to elect either the
Cash Consideration or the Securities Consideration (but not a combination of
both) in respect of all its Offer Shares within the timeline as prescribed under
Section 215(1A) of the Companies Act (the "CA Election Period"). Dissenting
Shareholders who have failed to make an election as to the form of the
consideration on or before the expiry of the CA Election Period shall be deemed
to have elected to receive, and shall receive, the Cash Consideration in respect
of all its Offer Shares.

As the Offeror will be proceeding to compulsorily acquire the Offer Shares of
the Dissenting Shareholders, the Dissenting Shareholders need not take any
action in relation to their right under Section 215(3) of the Companies Act.
Dissenting Shareholders who nevertheless wish to exercise such right or who are
in any doubt as to their position are advised to seek their own independent
legal advice.

The Offeror intends to exercise its right of compulsory acquisition pursuant to
Section 215(1) of the Companies Act to acquire all the Offer Shares held by the
Dissenting Shareholders after 26 November 2023, being the date falling after the
expiration of one month from 26 October 2023 (being the date of the Form 57),
subject to and on the terms set out in Form 57. A separate announcement will be
issued when the compulsory acquisition has been resolved by the board of
directors of the Offeror.
