Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by ADS Maritime
Holding Plc (the "Company") on 3 October 2022 regarding the subsequent offering
(the "Subsequent Offering") of up to 34,190,476 existing ordinary shares in the
Company held by B T Larsen & Co Ltd. (the "Offer Shares") at a price of NOK 2.10
per Offer Share (the "Offer Price").
The application period for the Subsequent Offering will expire at 16:30 hours
(CEST) today, on 18 October 2022.
Correctly completed application forms must be received by Arctic Securities AS
(the "Manager") before the end of the application period. The allocation rights
("Allocation Rights") that are not used to apply for offer shares in the
Subsequent Offering before the expiry of the application period will expire and
have no value.
If the market price of the Company's shares exceed the Offer Price, the
Allocation Rights will have financial value. If the market price of the
Company's shares is below the Offer Price, the Allocation Rights will not have
financial value because it will be possible to buy shares in the market at lower
prices than the Offer Price, subject to sufficient volume of shares being
available for purchase.
For further information about the Subsequent Offering, please refer to the
prospectus dated 3 October 2022 (the "Prospectus"). The Prospectus, including
the application form in the Subsequent Offering, is available electronically at
the Manager's website: https://www.arctic.com/secno/en/offerings.
