KMCP: Mandatory notification of trade – large shareholding disclosure and mandatory offer obligation

16 Sep 2025 22:50 CEST

Bekken Invest AS ("Bekken Invest") has today acquired 2,291,155 shares in KMC
Properties ASA ( "KMCP") from its partly owned subsidiary BEWI Invest AS ("BEWI
Invest", ticker BINT) at a price per share of NOK 5.80 (the "Acquisition").

Following completion the Acquisition, BEWI Invest will not own any shares in
KMCP, while Bekken Invest will own 2,291,155 shares, equal to 46.30% of the
shares and votes in KMCP, and crossing the threshold for mandatory offers under
Section 6-1 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, cf. Section 6-6, and
thereby triggering an obligation to make an unconditional cash offer for the
remaining shares in KMCP not already owned by it (the "Mandatory Offer") or
reduce its shareholding to shares representing less than 1/3 of the votes in
KMCP within four weeks.

Bekken Invest intends to make the Mandatory Offer at an offer price per share of
NOK 5.80, which is equal to the price per share in the Acquisition. The offer
period for the Mandatory Offer is expected to commence within four weeks,
following approval by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (Nw.
Finanstilsynet) of an offer document prepared to comply with the requirements
regarding mandatory offers set out in Chapter 6 of the Norwegian Securities
Trading Act. KMCP has been informed about the Mandatory Offer.

KMCP is today a company with no operational activity. Bekken Invest intends for
KMCP to remain listed on Oslo Børs following the completion of the Mandatory
Offer. A continued listing of KMCP following completion of the Mandatory Offer
enables Bekken Invest to evaluate and, if appropriate, pursue a range of
strategic alternatives for the company. The Acquisition and the Mandatory Offer
are therefore made to give Bekken Invest the flexibility to use KMCP, as a
listed entity, for strategic purposes.

Advisors
Danske Bank A/S NUF and DNB Carnegie, a part of DNB Bank ASA are acting as
financial advisors to Bekken Invest in relation to the Mandatory Offer.
Advokatfirmaet Thommessen AS is acting as legal advisor.
