The Board has considered this and is of the view that it would be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to deviate from the existing shareholders' pre-emptive right to the Offer Shares, and that this would also be in compliance with the requirements in the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act on equal treatment of shareholders and the prohibition against giving anyone an unreasonable advantage at the Company's or the shareholders' expense and the obligations relating to equal treatment of shareholders, cf. section 3.1 of the Euronext Growth Rule Book Part II and and the
