procedures set out in the Offer Document, which will set out the complete terms
and conditions of the Offer, including procedures for accepting the Offer.

The Offer and the distribution of this announcement and other information in
connection with the Offer may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. The
Offer Document and related acceptance forms will not and may not be distributed,
forwarded or transmitted into or within any jurisdiction where it is prohibited
by applicable law, including, without limitation Australia, Canada Hong Kong,
Japan, New Zealand and South Africa, or any other jurisdiction in which it would

is a violation by any person of such restrictions. Persons in the United States
should review "Notice to U.S. Holders" below. Persons into who access this
announcement or such other information should come are required to inform
themselves about and to observe any such restrictions.

This announcement is for information purposes only and is not an offer or a
tender offer document and, as such, is not intended to constitute or form any
part of an offer or the solicitation of an offer to purchase, otherwise acquire,
subscribe for, sell or otherwise dispose of any securities, or the solicitation
of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction, pursuant to the Offer or otherwise.

Forward-looking statements 

This announcement, verbal statements made regarding the Offer and other
information published by the Offeror may contain certain statements about the
Company, the Offeror and their respective affiliates and businesses as well as
the timing and procedures relating to the Offer and potential amendments to the
Offer that are or may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are
beyond the Offeror's control and all of which are based on the Offeror's current
beliefs and expectations about future events. Forward-looking statements are
typically identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as
"believes", "expects", "may", "will", "could", "should", "intends", "estimates",
"plans", "assumes" or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations
thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve
risks and uncertainties. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among
others, statements regarding the Company's or the Offeror's future financial
position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, business strategy,
leverage, payment of dividends, projected levels of growth, projected costs,
estimates of capital expenditures, and plans and objectives for future
operations and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature,
forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to
events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. These events
and circumstances include changes in the global, political, economic, business,
competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates,
changes in tax rates and future business combinations or disposals. If any one
or more of these risks or uncertainties materialises or if any one or more of
the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those
expected, estimated or projected. Such forward looking statements should
therefore be construed in the light of such factors. Neither the Company, the
Offeror, the Rollover Shareholders, nor any member of their respective groups,
nor any of their respective members, associates or directors, officers or
advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the
occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements
in this announcement will actually occur. Given these risks and uncertainties,
potential investors should not place any reliance on forward looking statements.


Any forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date they are
made. The Company, the Offeror and the Rollover Shareholders disclaim any
obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any
forward-looking statements contained in this announcement to reflect any change
in the expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statement is based.

No profit forecasts or estimates 

No statement in this announcement is intended as a profit forecast or profit
estimate and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean
that earnings or earnings per share for the current or future financial years
would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings or earning
per share.

Rounding 

Certain figures included in this announcement have been subjected to rounding
adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown for the same category presented in
different tables may vary slightly and figures shown as totals in certain tables
may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them.

Notice to U.S. Holders

Holders of shares in the Company in the United States ("U.S. Holders") are
advised that the shares are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and that
the Company 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 thereunder. 

The Offer will be made for the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, a
company incorporated under Norwegian law, and is subject to Norwegian disclosure
and procedural requirements, which may be different from those of the United
States. The Offer will be made U.S. Holders as a "Tier I" tender offer under the
U.S. Exchange Act, to the extent applicable and subject to any available
exemptions, and otherwise in compliance with the disclosure and procedural
requirements of Norwegian law, including with respect to the Offer timetable,
settlement procedures and timing of payments, which may be different from
requirements or customary practices in relation to U.S. domestic tender offers. 

The Offer will be made to U.S. Holders on the same terms and conditions as those
made to all other holders of shares to whom the Offer is made. Any information
document, including the Offer Document, will be disseminated to U.S. Holders on
a basis comparable to the method that such documents are provided to the
Company's other shareholders to whom an offer is made. The Offer will be made by
the Offeror and no one else. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult with their
own advisors regarding the Offer.

To the extent permissible under applicable law or regulations, the Offeror and
its affiliates or brokers (acting as agents for the Offeror or its affiliates,
as applicable) may from time to time and during the pendency of the Offer, 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 of the Company outside the United States, so long
as those acquisitions or arrangements comply with applicable Norwegian law and
practice and the provisions of such exemption. These purchases may occur either
in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated
prices. 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. Holders of such information. In addition, the financial advisor to
the Offeror may also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities
of the Company, which may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such
securities as long as such purchases or arrangements are in compliance with
applicable law. To the extent required in Norway, any information about such
purchases will be made public in Norway in the manner required by Norwegian law.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any U.S. state
securities commission has approved or disapproved the Offer, passed upon the
merits or fairness of the Offer, or passed any comment upon the adequacy,
accuracy or completeness of the disclosure in this announcement. Any
representation to the contrary is a criminal offense in the United States.

It may be difficult for the Company's shareholders to enforce their rights and
any claims they may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws in
connection with the Offer, since the Offeror and the Company are located in
non-U.S. jurisdictions, and some or all of their respective officers and
directors may be residents of non-U.S. jurisdictions. The shareholders of the
Company may not be able to sue the Offeror or the Company or their respective
officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. federal
securities laws. It may be difficult to compel the Offeror and the Company and
their respective affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.
