Professional Investors and ECPs Only Target Market
Solely for the purposes of the product approval process of the manufacturers, the target market
assessment in respect of the Notes described in this Offering Memorandum has led to the conclusion that: (i) the
target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II;
and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate.
Any distributor should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor
subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by
either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a
person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a
customer within the meaning of the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a
professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined
in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation for
offering or selling the Notes described in this Offering Memorandum or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Offering Memorandum includes statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking
statements," within the meaning of the securities laws of certain jurisdictions, including statements under the
headings "Presentation of industry and market data," "Summary," "Risk factors," "Management's discussion and
analysis of financial condition and results of operations," "Our business" and other sections and in the quarterly
and annual financial statements incorporated by reference into the Offering Memorandum. These forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "anticipate," "expect,"
"suggests," "plan," "believe," "intend," "estimates," "targets," "projects," "should," "could," "would," "may,"
"will," "forecast," and other similar expressions or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable
terminology. These forward-looking statements include matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a
number of places throughout this Offering Memorandum and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs
or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity,
prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which we operate.
We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our
actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we
operate may differ materially from those made, described in or suggested by the forward-looking statements
contained in this Offering Memorandum. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and
liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking
statements contained in this Offering Memorandum, those results or developments may not be indicative of results
or developments in subsequent periods.
Any forward-looking statements that we make in this Offering Memorandum speak only as of the date
of such statement, and we undertake no obligation and do not intend to update such statements. Comparisons of
results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future
performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events
and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future and may not be within our control. We
believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in the "Risk factors"
section of this Offering Memorandum, including:

the level of oil and gas prices and market expectations of these;

changes in general economic, market and business conditions in North America, Western
Europe and worldwide;

our ability to find, acquire, develop and produce oil and gas reserves that are economically
recoverable;

drilling, exploration, development and production risks and hazards, including, but not limited
to, risks of delays in drilling and additional costs as a result of historically extreme weather;

the competitiveness of our industry;

changes in tax regulations for the petroleum industry;

the concentration of our production in a small number of fields on the NCS;

our ability to successfully integrate and realize the benefits of acquisitions;

unexpected shutdowns of the Alvheim FPSO, Skarv FPSO or other installations;

material variations in our NGL (as defined herein) and gas production levels relative to our
initial estimates;

significant uncertainty as to the success of exploration, appraisal and development drilling and
related activities;

the success of our capital expenditure programs and our ability to secure financing for our
capital expenditure programs and other expenditures;
