Stabilisation and Over-Allotment Option Notice

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, HONG KONG OR JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL

Reference is made to stock exchange notice of 18 March 2013, in which Asetek A/S ("Asetek" or the "Company", OSE ticker: ASETEK) announced the successful completion of the bookbuilding period for its initial public offering on the Oslo Stock Exchange (the "Offering").

Carnegie AS (the "Stabilisation Manager"), on behalf of the Joint Bookrunners, may engage in stabilisation activities in the shares of Asetek from the opening of trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange on 20 March 2013 until the close of trading on 19 April 2013 (the "Stabilisation Period"). The stabilisation transactions are aimed to support the market price of the shares of Asetek.

In connection with the Offering, the Stabilisation Manager has borrowed shares from the Selling Shareholders and over-allotted to the applicants in the Offering 800,000 shares in Asetek, equalling 15% of the total number of Offer Shares allotted in the Offering before over-allotments. Furthermore, the Selling Shareholders have granted the Stabilisation Manager an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option") pursuant to which the Stabilisation Manager may purchase up to 800,000 existing shares in Asetek from the Selling Shareholders at a price per share of NOK 36.00, which is equal to the offer price in the Offering (the "Offer Price"). The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised at any time, and from time to time, within the Stabilisation Period.

The Stabilisation Manager may close out the short position created by over-allotting shares by buying shares in the open market through stabilisation activities and/or by exercising the Over-Allotment Option. The Stabilisation Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilisation Manager) may effect transactions that stabilise or maintain the price of the shares of Asetek at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail, by buying shares in Asetek in the open market at prices equal to or lower than (but not above) the Offer Price. However, there is no obligation on the Stabilisation Manager (or any person acting on behalf of the Stabilisation Manager) to do so. Moreover, there is no assurance that the Stabilisation Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilisation Manager) will undertake stabilisation activities. If stabilisation activities are undertaken they may be stopped at any time, and must be brought to an end upon or before expiry of the Stabilisation Period.

Within one week after the end of the Stabilisation Period, the Stabilisation Manager and the Company will jointly publish a statement through the information system of the Oslo Stock Exchange under the Company's ticker with information as to whether or not any stabilisation activities have been undertaken, including the date at which stabilisation started, the date at which stabilisation last occurred, and the price range within which stabilisation was carried out for each of the dates during which stabilisation transactions were carried out.

Any stabilisation activities will be conducted in accordance with section 3-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2273/2003 implementing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards exemptions for buy-back programmes and stabilisation of financial instruments.

For further details see the prospectus dated 4 March 2013 issued by Asetek in connection with the Offering and the listing of its shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
