Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA ("Norwegian" or the "Company") on 20 March 2018 regarding a contemplated private placement (the "Private Placement") of new shares (the "New Shares" and the "Launch Announcement"). The board of directors of Norwegian (the "Board") is pleased to announce that the Private Placement has been successfully completed, raising NOK 1,300,000,035 in gross proceeds through the application and allocation of 2,950,963 new shares in tranche 1 ("Tranche 1") (the "Tranche 1 Shares") and the application and conditional allocation of 5,436,134 new shares in tranche 2 ("Tranche 2") (the "Tranche 2 Shares") (together with Tranche 1, the "Private Placement Shares"), each share at a subscription price of NOK 155 (the "Subscription Price"). The Subscription Price has been set through a book-building process. The Private Placement was oversubscribed. Following allocation, the Board has resolved to approve the issuance of the Tranche 1 Shares, constituting 2,950,963 new shares pursuant to an authorisation for share capital increase granted by the annual general meeting of the Company held on 9 May 2017. The Tranche 2 Shares remain subject to the approval of an extraordinary general meeting of the Company expected to be held on or about 4 April 2018 (the "EGM"). A separate notice for the EGM is expected to be announced shortly.

The Tranche 1 Shares are expected to be settled and issued on or about 23 March 2018, subject to timely payment by the investors who have been allocated shares in Tranche 1 and furthermore subject to timely registration of the share capital increase in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. The Tranche 1 Shares will be issued on the Company's ordinary ISIN and will be admitted to listing on Oslo Børs without application pursuant to an exemption from the obligation to publish a listing prospectus in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act section 7-5 no. 1. Following registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the Tranche 1 Shares, the issued share capital of the Company will be NOK 3,871,060.20 comprising 38,710,602 shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.10.

The Tranche 2 Shares are subject to approval by the EGM, and are expected to be settled and issued shortly after the EGM, subject to timely payment by the investors who have been allocated shares in Tranche 2 and furthermore subject to timely registration of the share capital increase in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. Following registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the Tranche 2 Shares, the issued share capital of the Company is expected to be NOK 4,414,673.60 comprising 44,146,736 shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.10.

Both Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 will be settled with existing and unencumbered shares in the Company that are already listed on Oslo Børs, pursuant to a share lending agreement between the managers of the Private Placement, the Company and HBK Holding AS. The shares delivered to the subscribers will thus be tradable upon delivery. The managers will settle the share loan with the new shares issued in the Company. The New Shares delivered to HBK Holding AS as settlement of the share loan pertaining to Tranche 2 will be issued on a separate ISIN and will not be tradable on Oslo Børs until a listing prospects has been approved by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway and published, expected during May 2018.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will strengthen the Company's balance sheet and ensures substantial buffer to the bond covenant of NOK 1,500 million in equity requirement.

As explained in the Launch Announcement, the Private Placement involves setting aside the shareholders' preferential rights to subscribe for new shares. The Board is of the opinion that the Private Placement complies with the equal treatment obligations under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Oslo Børs' Circular no. 2/2014, in particular due to the fact that (i) in the current market, a private placement had a larger possibility of success compared to a rights issue and, therefore, gives the Company access to the new capital at low risk and in time to pursue the expected growth while ensuring substantial buffer to the bond covenant of NOK 1,500 million in equity requirement; and (ii) the cost of raising capital is assumed to be lower than in a rights issue since the discount is likely to be lower and subscription guarantees are avoided.

Subject to completion of the Private Placement and all necessary corporate resolutions being made, including approval by the EGM, the Board has proposed to carry out a subsequent offering with gross proceeds of up to NOK 200,000,065 in the Company directed towards shareholders in the Company as of 20 March 2018, as registered in the VPS on 22 March 2018, who were not allocated shares in the Private Placement and who are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or, for jurisdictions other than Norway, would require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar action. Such shareholders will be granted non-transferable preferential rights to subscribe for, and, upon subscription, be allocated new shares. The Company's shares will accordingly trade ex. right to participate in the subsequent offering as of 21 March 2018. The subscription price in such subsequent offering will be the same as the Subscription Price in the Private Placement.
