UK: Oslo Børs Approves Listing of Veripos Shares

At its meeting on 13 June 2012, the Board of Directors of Oslo Børs resolved to admit the shares in Veripos Inc. to listing on Oslo Børs, or alternatively to listing on Oslo Axess.

The Board agreed to exempt the company from the requirement that a listed company must have been in existence for at least three years, cf. Sections 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 of the Oslo Børs Listing Rules. This exemption was granted because the company’s business has been in existence for the required time, but has operated through different legal entities.

The Board stipulated that, prior to the first day of listing, the company must satisfy the requirement for the number of shareholders as specified in Section 2.4.2 of the Oslo Børs Listing Rules, or Section 2.4.2 of the Oslo Axess Listing Rules as appropriate, and publish an approved prospectus containing auditor-approved financial statements.

The Board stipulated that, prior to the first day of listing, the distribution of shares in Veripos as a stock dividend must be approved by a general meeting of Subsea7 as planned.

The Board authorised the Chief Executive Officer of Oslo Børs to decide whether the company should be listed on Oslo Børs or Oslo Axess, and to fix the date of the first day of listing, which is to be no later than 27 July 2012
