Austevoll, Norway, 29 September 2023: Reference is made to the obligation included in DOF Group ASA's (the "Company") articles of associations, regarding the conversion of all the 123,276,652 existing B-shares to ordinary shares ("New Ordinary Shares") in an exchange ratio of 1:1 (the "Conversion") at the later of (i) the following business day after 30 September 2023 and (ii) if required, the date that the prospectus required to list the relevant New Ordinary Shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange is published.
The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (Nw.: Finanstilsynet) has today, on 29 September 2023, approved a prospectus, comprising a securities note, a registration document supplement and a summary (jointly, the "Prospectus") for the listing of the New Ordinary Shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange, following the Conversion.
The Conversion is subject to approval by the Company's board of directors, and is expected to take place the first business day after 30 September 2023, i.e. 2 October 2023. Subject to approval by the board of directors, on the first day of trading in the New Ordinary Shares is expected to be on or about 3 October 2023.
The Company will notify the market through a stock exchange announcement immediately after the Conversion has been resolved by the board of directors. For the sake of good order, the Company would like to emphasize that trading in the New Ordinary Shares prior to the Conversion would constitute a breach of the Short Selling Regulation implemented into Norwegian law through Section 3-5 in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.
The Prospectus will be, subject to regulatory restrictions in certain jurisdictions, available on the Company's website, www.dof.com.
