Insr: Notification from the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (NFSA) and Announcement of Strategic Review

Oslo, June 29, 2020

Insr, on Friday after market close, received a notification where the NFSA considers withdrawing the license to operate due to unresolved risk and control issues. The company is in the process of implementing a further strengthening of the governance, risk and control structure.

The Board of Directors has decided to initiate a strategic review to explore the alternatives available to the company.

In connection with this, the private placement announced on June 25th will not be completed, although it was oversubscribed by existing and new shareholders.

The company remains in a solid financial position. This is underpinned by an un-audited profit for the continued business for April and May, which has resulted in an improved solvency position.

Insr has engaged Carnegie AS as financial advisor and Advokatfirmaet Wiersholm AS as legal advisor to assist with the completion of the strategic review, including establishing contact with potential buyers. No assurance can be given regarding the outcome or timing of this process.
