equity by NOK 1,2 billion. The increase in equity was decided by an extraordinary general assembly

to NOK 5 billion. The guarantee depends on approval by the company’s ordinary general assembly on

in the agreement on a pro rata basis. Eksportfinans consulted DnB NOR Markets as advisor for the
transactions.
