Important notice
This announcement and any related Offer documentation are not being distributed
and must not be mailed or otherwise distributed or sent in or into any country
in which the distribution or offering would require any such additional measures
to be taken or would be in conflict with any law or regulation in such country -
any such action will not be permitted or sanctioned by the Investors. Any
purported acceptance of the Offer resulting directly or indirectly from a
violation of these restrictions may be disregarded.

This announcement is for informational purposes only and is not a tender offer
document and, as such, is not intended to constitute or form any part of an
offer or the solicitation of an offer to purchase, otherwise acquire, subscribe
for, sell or otherwise dispose of any securities or the solicitation of any vote
or approval in any jurisdiction, pursuant to the Offer or otherwise. The Offer
Period has now expired. Accordingly, investors may no longer accept the Offer.
Offers have not been and will not be made directly or indirectly in any
jurisdiction where either an offer or participation therein is prohibited by
applicable law or where any tender offer document or registration or other
requirements would apply in addition to those undertaken in Norway.

The Offer and the distribution of this announcement and other information in
connection with the Offer may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. The
Offer Document and related acceptance form will not and may not be distributed,
forwarded or transmitted into or within any jurisdiction where prohibited by
applicable law, including, without limitation, Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa, Hong Kong and Japan. The Offeror does not assume any
responsibility in the event there is a violation by any person of such
restrictions. Persons in the United States should review "Notice to U.S.
Holders" below. Persons into whose possession this announcement or such other
information should come are required to inform themselves about and to observe
any such restrictions.

Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, Amsterdam Branch is acting exclusively for Aurelia

document.

Forward-looking statements	
This announcement, verbal statements made regarding the Offer and other
information published by the Offeror may contain certain statements about the
Company and the Offeror that are or may be forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate
only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use
words such as "may", "will", "seek", "continue", "aim", "anticipate", "target",
"expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe" or other words of
similar meaning. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others,
statements regarding the Company's or the Offeror's future financial position,
income growth, assets, impairment charges, business strategy, leverage, payment
of dividends, projected levels of growth, projected costs, estimates of capital
expenditures, and plans and objectives for future operations and other
statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking
statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and
circumstances, including, but not limited to, Norwegian domestic and global
economic and business conditions, the effects of volatility in credit markets,
market-related risks such as changes in interest rates and exchange rates,
effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures, changes in valuation
of issued notes, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory
authorities, changes in legislation, the further development of standards and
interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")
applicable to past, current and future periods, evolving practices with regard
to the interpretation and application of standards under IFRS, the outcome of
pending and future litigations, the success of future acquisitions and other
strategic transactions and the impact of competition - a number of such factors
being beyond the Company's and the Offeror's control. As a result, actual future
results may differ materially from the plans, goals, and expectations set forth
in these forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date they are
made. Except as required by law, the Offeror disclaims any obligation or
undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking
statements contained in this announcement to reflect any change in the Offeror's
expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Notice to U.S. shareholders
The Offer and the distribution of this announcement and other information in
connection with the Offer are made available to shareholders in the United
States of America (the "U.S." or "United States"), and to U.S. persons, in
compliance with applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations, including
section 14(e) and Regulation 14E under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "U.S. Exchange Act"). The Depository Receipts have not been, and
will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"U.S. Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any state or jurisdiction in
the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States except
pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to,
the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or in compliance with
any applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United
States. Consequently, Depository Receipts are not being offered, sold or
delivered, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States or to U.S.
persons, unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Depository
Receipts will only be made available in the United States to QIBs (as defined in
Rule 144A under the U.S Securities Act ("Rule 144A") or Accredited Investors (as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the U.S. Securities Act) in transactions that are
exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and in
compliance with any applicable U.S. state "blue sky" securities laws. Such
shareholders will be required to make such acknowledgements and representations
to, and agreements with, the Issuer as the Issuer may require to establish that
they are entitled to receive Depository Receipts. The Depository Receipts will
only be sold to persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation
S of the U.S. Securities Act. U.S. investors who are unable to receive
Depository Receipts may only elect to receive cash consideration.

None of the Depository Receipts, the Offer Document, the acceptance form or any
other document relating to the offering of Depository Receipts, has been
approved or disapproved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"), any state securities commission in the United States or any other U.S.
regulatory authority, nor have such authorities passed upon or determined the
adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in the Offer Document and the
merits of the Offer. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in
the United States.

In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of the Offer, an offer, sale
or transfer of the Depository Receipts within the United States by a dealer
(whether or not participating in the Offer) may violate the registration
requirements of the U.S. Securities Act if such offer, sale or transfer is made
otherwise than in accordance with Rule 144A or another exemption from
registration under the U.S. Securities Act.

In accordance with normal Norwegian practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) of
the U.S. Exchange Act, the Offeror or its nominees, or its brokers (acting as
agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to
purchase, Adevinta shares outside of the United States, other than pursuant to
the Offer. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing
prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any information about
such purchases will be disclosed as required in Norway and will be reported to
an officially appointed mechanism of Oslo Stock Exchange and will be available
on the Oslo Stock Exchange' website: https://www.euronext.com/en/markets/oslo.

The European Economic Area
This announcement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of securities in
any Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the
Prospectus Regulation (EU) (2017/1129, as amended, the "Prospectus Regulation")
(each, a "Relevant State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the
Prospectus Regulation, as implemented in that Relevant State, from the
requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of securities. Accordingly, any
person making or intending to make any offer in that Relevant State of
securities, which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this
announcement, may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for
the Offeror to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus
Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus
Regulation, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Offeror, the
Investors nor any of the advisors have authorised, nor do they authorise, the
making of any offer of the securities through any financial intermediary, other
than offers made by the Offeror which constitute the final placement of the
securities contemplated in this announcement. Neither the Offeror, the Investors
nor any of the advisors have authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of
any offer of securities in circumstances in which an obligation arises to
publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer.

The issue, subscription or purchase of Depository Receipts in the Issuer is
subject to specific legal or regulatory restrictions in certain jurisdictions.
Neither the Issuer, the Offeror nor their advisors assume any responsibility in
the event there is a violation by any person of such restrictions.
