private placement is subject to resolution of an extraordinary general
meeting (“EGM”). The Company will hold an EGM by the end of June 2014.
The private placement, which was directed towards existing shareholders
as well and new institutional and professional investors, attracted
strong investor interest and was increased from NOK 150 million to NOK
