Funcom SE ("Funcom" or the "Company") hereby confirms that the relocation of Funcom from the Netherlands to Norway has now been completed. Following issuance of the certificate by the Dutch Civil-Law Notary confirming that the conditions for transfer of the Company's registered office from the Netherlands to Norway were satisfied, the Company has today been registered in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises.
