Fred. Olsen Energy ASA (FOE) has in the quarter
offered the bondholders in its convertible bond
loan (FOE 02 4.5% 2004/09) to participate in a
rights issue subject to such bondholders waiving
their conversion rights under the terms of the
said bond loan. Ganger Rolf has accepted the
offer for its share of the bond loan of NOK
149.8 million. The rights issue will be based on
a price of NOK 68 per share, equal to the
conversion price under the terms of the bonds.
The 4.5% bond loan will mature on the original
maturity date of 30 March 2009.

This implies that Ganger Rolf ASA will

subscription for 2.202.882 shares, representing
a subscription amount of NOK 149.8 million. The
rights issue has a scheduled completion in July
and following the rights issue, Ganger Rolf will

approximately 30.2% assuming full conversion.
