Aker ASA: Letter received from Kistefos

Kistefos AS and Kistefos Investments AS (together "Kistefos") have informed that Kistefos is considering initiating a lawsuit against Aker Capital, its chairman and managing director (jointly “Aker Capital”) to claim compensation for the alleged loss incurred by Kistefos as a result of the refinancing that was announced by Solstad Offshore ASA (“SOFF”) on 23 October 2023. Kistefos is considering initiating the lawsuit in the form of a class action, so that other shareholders in SOFF may participate.

Aker Capital maintain that any such lawsuit would be without merit.
