Veidekke ASA (the "Company") has decided to initiate a share buyback program for up to 2,500,000 shares at a fixed price of NOK 97.50 per share. The purpose of the share buyback is to use the shares in the settlement of the employee share program and to partly finance the acquisition of Constructa Entrepenør. The share buyback will be conducted as a reverse bookbuilding process in which shareholders can submit sale offers (the “Share Buyback”). The Company has engaged Skandinaviska Banken Enskilda AB (publ), Oslo branch (“SEB”) as manager for the Share Buyback.

The Share Buyback period commences Wednesday 30 November 2022 at 09:00 CEST and ends on Thursday 1 December 2022 at 16:30 CEST.

The Company reserves the right to accept sale offers received after the end of the Share Buyback period, as well as to close or extend the Share Buyback period at any time and for any reason in its sole discretion without further notice. Sale offers and the respective limits are irrevocable and cannot be withdrawn or changed once received. The minimum sale offer is set to 500 shares.

For more information or to submit sale offers, please contact SEB at phone: +47 22827286.

In the event that the total number of received sale offers exceed 2,500,000 shares, the Company will perform a pro-rata reduction of sale offers. The Company and the Manager reserves the right to terminate the offer or make any amendments with regards to the volume or other terms of the offer.

The buyback will be based on the authorization provided by the Company's Annual General Meeting on 11 May 2022.
