Final agreement on acquisition of Marinor


Visma and Marinor have conducted and completed mutual verification without finding any material variance that would affect the swap ratio or implementation of the agreement.

We refer to the notice to the Oslo Stock Exchange of 20 August 1999 regarding Visma Marine ASA's acquisition of the majority shareholding in Marinor Shipping & Offshore Systems AS.

Visma will assume responsibility for Marinor's operations in terms of a more detailed agreement, and will work together with Marinor's board of directors and administration to find appropriate forms of control and cooperation to take care of the parties' interests until the acquisition, which is expected to take place in mid-November 1999.
