Reference is made to the calling notice for the extraordinary general meeting in Roxar ASA to be held on Thursday, December 8th, made public through the notice to the market on 22 December 2008.

As announced, the Nomination Committee has been in contact with the largest shareholders, since Mr. Harald Espedal had informed the Committee that he wanted to step down from his position with the Committee. As announced in the nomination from the Committee attached to the calling notice, due to timing the Committee had not been able to come up with a candidate to the Committee to be appointed by Kongsberg Gruppen ASA.
