NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA, THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, SOUTH AFRICA, NEW ZEALAND, JAPAN OR THE UNITED STATES, OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL
Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement made by Prosafe SE (“Prosafe” or the “Company“) on 18 July 2025 regarding the publication of a prospectus (the “Prospectus“) approved by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority for, inter alia, the offering of up to 17,868,651 warrants (the “Warrants“) (the “Warrants Offering“).
The subscription period for the Warrants Offering (the “Subscription Period“) commences today, 23 July 2025 at 09:00 hours (CEST) and expires on 6 August 2025 at 16:30 hours (CEST), unless extended in accordance with the terms set out in the Prospectus.
The Warrants may be subscribed for by shareholders of the Company as of 16 May 2025, as recorded in the Company’s shareholder register in Euronext Securities Oslo (VPS) on 20 May 2025 (the “Record Date“) (the “Eligible Shareholders“). The Eligible Shareholders shall have a preferential right to subscribe for and be allocated the Warrants in proportion to their shareholding in the Company on the Record Date, pursuant to Section 11-13 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, cf. Section 10-4. The preferential right to subscribe for the Warrants may not be transferred by the Eligible Shareholders. Oversubscription or subscription without subscription rights is not permitted. The Warrants may not be subscribed for by investors in jurisdictions where such subscription is not permitted or where the offering of such warrants is not legally allowed.
No consideration shall be paid for the Warrants. The Warrants shall not be transferable. The Warrants will be registered in Euronext Securities Oslo (VPS).
Subscriptions for Warrants must be made by submitting a correctly completed subscription form to the Receiving Agent (as defined below) during the Subscription Period, or may, for subscribers who are residents of Norway with a Norwegian personal identification number, be made online during the Subscription Period. Please see the Prospectus for further information about the Warrants Offering, including subscription procedures and the complete terms of the Warrants Offering. The Prospectus (including the subscription form for the Warrants Offering) is, subject to applicable securities laws, available on the Company’s website: www.prosafe.com.
Subscriptions may only be made on the basis of the Prospectus. Allocation of Warrants will be made by the Company’s board of directors based on the number of Warrants subscribed for by each shareholder in accordance with the number of Warrants each subscriber has the right to subscribe for.
The Warrants may be exercised during the period starting at 09:00 (CEST) on 11 August 2025 and concluding at 16:30 (CEST) on 25 August 2025 (the “Exercise Period“). One Warrant entitles the holder to request the issuance of one ordinary share in the Company. Eligible Shareholders having validly subscribed for and been allocated Warrants will receive an exercise form prior to the Exercise Period. Exercise shall be carried out by submitting a correctly completed exercise form to the Receiving Agent (as defined below) during the Exercise Period, or may, for Warrant holders who are residents of Norway with a Norwegian personal identification number, be made online during the Exercise Period. Warrants that are not exercised before the expiry of the Exercise Period will have no value and will lapse without compensation to the holder.
To the extent members of the Company’s board of directors or management or closely related parties of such are prohibited from exercising Warrants in the Exercise Period due to securities law restrictions, these shall have the right to exercise Warrants during a period which expires two weeks after such restrictions lapse, as set out in the resolution to issue the Warrants at the Company’s extraordinary general meeting held on 16 May 2025 (the “EGM“). Exercises can in any case not take place after 31 December 2025.
The subscription price upon exercise of the Warrants is EUR 0.01 per new share. Pursuant to the resolution adopted by the EGM, the Company plans to establish a NOK-based exchange mechanism for the contribution, whereby each exercising Warrant holder will be debited a NOK amount covering the EUR subscription amount, currently expected to be NOK 0.15 per share.
Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS acts as legal advisor to the Company in connection with the Warrants Offering. DNB Issuer Services, a part of DNB Bank ASA (the “Receiving Agent” as well as the “Settlement Agent“) acts as both the Receiving Agent and Settlement Agent for the Company in connection with the Warrants Offering.
