WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.
Oslo, Norway, 10 November 2020: Reference is made to the announcement by Scatec
Solar ASA (“SSO” or the “Company”, ticker code “SSO”) on 21 October 2020 where
the Company announced the successful completion of a private placement raising
gross proceeds in the amount of NOK 4,750 million and that the board of
directors would consider to carry out a subsequent offering of up to 2,065,248
new shares in the Company (the “Subsequent Offering”). Subject to amongst other
things the prevailing market price of the Company’s shares.
The Company has decided not to proceed with the Subsequent Offering. Since the
announcement of completion of the Private Placement, the Company’s shares have
traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange, with significant trading volume, at prices
below the subscription price in the Private Placement of NOK 230. Accordingly,
any shareholders wishing to reduce the dilutive effect of the Private Placement
have had the opportunity to purchase shares in the Company in the market, at
prices below what would have been the subscription price in a Subsequent
Offering. Hence, the Board of Directors in the Company has resolved not to
proceed with a Subsequent Offering.
