NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN OR THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement by NRC Group ASA (the "Company") on 26 September 2024 regarding completion of a private placement (the "Private Placement") of new shares in the Company and that the Company considered a subsequent offering of up to 466,666 new shares at the same subscription price as in the Private Placement (the "Subsequent Offering").

Please see below for key information pertaining to the Subsequent Offering:

  • Date on which the terms and conditions of the Subsequent Offering were announced: 26 September 2024
  • Last day including right: 26 September 2024
  • Ex-date: 27 September 2024
  • Record date: 30 September 2024
  • Maximum number of new shares: 466,666 new shares
  • Subscription price: NOK 75 per share (the "Offer Price")


The Subsequent Offering is subject to the prevailing market price of the Company's shares following the Private Placement. The Board may decide that the Subsequent Offering will not be carried out in the event that the Company's shares trade below the subscription price in the Subsequent Offering at adequate volumes. The Subsequent Offering will be directed towards shareholders in the Company as of 26 September 2024 (as registered in the VPS on 30 September 2024) who (i) were not allocated shares in the Private Placement or contacted in the pre-sounding phase prior to the Private Placement and (ii) who are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or, for jurisdictions other than Norway, would require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar action (the "Eligible Shareholders"). Eligible Shareholders will receive non-transferable subscription rights in the Subsequent Offering.

The allocation hierarchy in the Subsequent Offering will be as follows:

a) Shares shall be allocated to Eligible Shareholders who have subscribed with subscription rights.

b) Unallocated shares following a) shall be allocated to Eligible Shareholders who have over-subscribed (on a pro rata basis).

c) Unallocated shares following b) may be allocated to shareholders or other specific investors other than the Eligible Shareholders who have subscribed without subscription rights, however so that the board reserves the right to allocate c) at their sole discretion.

This information is published in accordance with the requirements of Euronext Rule Book II.
