on behalf of the managers. As further described in the Prospectus, the
stabilization manager has been granted a green-shoe option by Selvaag Bolig ASA,
pursuant to which the stabilization manager may subscribe for up to a number of
new shares equivalent to the number of over-allotted shares in the Offering at a
price equal to the final offer price in the Offering, being NOK 20 per share.
The green-shoe option may be used only for the purpose of closing out any net
short positions created through the over-allotment option, and may be exercised
on one or more occasions during the 30 day stabilization period mentioned
above."
