Aker ASA insiders receive shares following merger completion

On September 1, 2025, Aker ASA announced that several primary insiders and their close associates received consideration shares as part of the merger between Aker Horizons Holding AS (AKHH) and AKH HoldCo AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aker ASA. This distribution followed the satisfaction of conditions for an in-kind dividend of Aker Horizons' shares in AKHH. Shareholders in Aker Horizons (excluding AKH HoldCo AS) received NOK 0.267963 in cash and 0.001898 shares in Aker ASA for each Aker Horizons share held.

Among the recipients, Erøy AS, a company closely associated with Øyvind Eriksen, president and ceo, received 542 Aker ASA shares. Svein Oskar Stoknes, chief financial officer, acquired 63 shares. Aker Solutions ASA, another entity closely associated with Øyvind Eriksen, received the largest allocation with 1,435 shares. Fredrik Berge, head of investor relations, gained 5 shares, and Edith Synnøve Bjerkan, deputy employee-elected director, received 1 share.

The transactions, all occurring outside a trading venue, represent a zero-cost acquisition for the recipients as they were merger considerations. This mandatory notification aligns with Article 19 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation and Section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.
