on a U.S. securities exchange and that Scana is not subject to the periodic
reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "U.S. Exchange Act"), and is not required to, and does not, file any
reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") thereunder.
The offer will be made to holders of shares resident in the United States ("U.S.
Holders") on the same terms and conditions as those made to all other holders of
shares of Scana to whom an offer is made. Any information documents, including
the Offer Document, will be disseminated to U.S. Holders on a basis comparable
to the method that such documents are provided to Scana's other shareholders to

Søn and its affiliates or brokers (acting as agents for Rieber & Søn or its
affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time, and other than pursuant to the
Offer, directly or indirectly, purchase or arrange to purchase, shares or any
securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such
shares outside the United States during the period in which the Offer remains
open for acceptance, so long as those acquisitions or arrangements comply with
applicable Norwegian law and practice and the provisions of such exemption. To
the extent information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase is made
public in Norway, such information will be disclosed by means of an English
language press release via an electronically operated information distribution
system in the United States or other means reasonably calculated to inform U.S.
