Oslo, 12 June 2024: Norske Skog ASA (“Norske Skog” or the “Company”) has
mandated DNB Markets and Pareto Securities AS as Joint Lead Managers to arrange
a series of fixed income investor meetings commencing on 12 June 2024. A new
5-year senior unsecured bond issue of NOK 1 400 million may follow, subject to
inter alia market conditions.

The net proceeds from the contemplated bond issue will be used to refinance the
Company’s existing NSKOG02 EUR 150 million senior secured bonds (ISIN NO
0010936065) and for general corporate purposes.

In conjunction with the contemplated bond issue, Norske Skog will offer a
conditional buyback of NSKOG02. Subject to completion of the contemplated bond
issue, Norske Skog will call the remaining net outstanding amount of NSKOG02 in
whole.

Norske Skog has obtained support from DNB for a NOK 500 million term loan at
Norske Skog Skogn and a NOK 50 million overdraft facility at the Company level
to replace its existing but undrawn EUR 31 million Revolving Credit Facility.
These facilities are expected to be entered into during the third quarter of
2024.
