1. Risk factors
The order in which risks are presented below is not intended to provide an indication of the likelihood of
their occurrence nor of their severity or significance. The information in this chapter is as of the date of
this Securities Note.

Investing in the Bonds issued by the Issuer involves inherent risks. Prospective investors should
consider, among other things, the risk factors set out below and in the Registration Document (which
together with this Securities Note constitutes the Prospectus) before making an investment decision.
The risks and uncertainties described in the Prospectus are risks of which the Issuer is aware and that
the Issuer considers to be material to its business. If any of these risks were to occur, the Issuer's
business, financial position, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected, and
the Issuer could be unable to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with the
Bonds.

Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in the Prospectus and
reach their own conclusions prior to making any investment decision.

1.1. Risk related to the Bonds

General
All investments in interest-bearing securities have risk associated with such investment. The risk is
related to the general volatility in the market for such securities, varying liquidity in a single bond issue
as well as company-specific risk factors. There are six main risk factors that sums up the investors total
risk exposure when investing in interest bearing securities: liquidity risk, interest rate risk, settlement
risk, credit risk, market risk and risks related to the ranking of the Bonds (both in general and issuer-
specific).

Liquidity risk
The liquidity of the trading market in the Bonds, and the market price quoted for the Bonds, may be
adversely affected by changes in the overall market for similar yield securities, interest rates and the
Issuer's financial performance or prospects or in the prospects for companies in its industry generally.
As a result, an active trading market for the Bonds may not develop or be maintained.

Historically, the markets for non-investment-grade debt, such as the Bonds, have been subject to
disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in their prices. Any market for the Bonds may be
subject to similar disruptions. Any such disruptions may affect the liquidity and trading of the Bonds
independently of the Issuer's financial performance and prospects and may have an adverse effect on
the holders of the Bonds.

No market-maker agreement has been entered into in relation to this Bond Issue, and the liquidity of
the Bonds will depend at all times on the market participants' view of the credit quality of the Issuer as
well as established and available credit lines.

Interest rate risk
Interest-rate risk is the risk that results from the variability of the NIBOR interest rate. The coupon
payments, which depend on the interest rate and the Margin, will vary in accordance with the variability
of the NIBOR interest rate. The interest-rate risk related to this Bond Issue will be limited, since the
coupon rate will be adjusted quarterly in accordance with the change in the reference interest rate
(NIBOR three months) over the four-year tenor. The primary price risk for a floating rate bond issue will
be related to the market view of the correct trading level for the credit spread related to the bond issue
at a certain time during the tenor, compared with the credit margin the bond issue is carrying. A
possible increase in the credit spread trading level relative to the coupon-defined credit margin may
relate to general changes in the market conditions and/or Issuer-specific circumstances. Under normal
market circumstances, however, the anticipated tradable credit spread will fall as the duration of the
bond issue shortens. In general, the price of bonds will fall when the credit spread in the market
increases, and conversely the bond price will increase when the market spread decreases.

Settlement risk
Settlement risk is the risk that the settlement of bonds in a bond issue does not take place as agreed.
The settlement risk consists of the failure to pay or the failure to deliver bonds. The Bonds in this Bond
Issue are, however, already issued ant settled.

Credit risk

6 of 28


Securities Note - FRN Aker Solutions ASA Senior Unsecured Bond Issue 2018/2022




ISIN NO 0010814213

Credit risk is the risk that the Issuer fails to make the required payments under the Bond Issue (either
principal or interest). There are a number of factors which may cause the Issuer to default on its
payment obligations under the Bond Issue, including those described in "Chapter 1. Risk Factors" in the
Registration Document.

Market risk
Market risk, also called "systematic risk", is the negative impact on the value of the Bonds from any
type of major natural disaster, such as recessions, political turmoil, changes in interest rates or terrorist
attacks. The price of a single bond issue will fluctuate in accordance with the interest rate and credit
markets in general, the market view of the credit risk, and the liquidity of this Bond Issue in the
market. In spite of an underlying positive development in the Issuer's business activities, the price of
the Bonds may fall independently of this fact. However, bond issues with a relatively short tenor and a
floating-rate coupon rate do generally carry a lower price risk compared with bonds with a longer tenor
and/or with a fixed coupon rate.

Risks related to the ranking of the Bonds
The Bonds constitute senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. As such, the Bonds are effectively
subordinated to the secured debt of the Issuer and any Group Company as outstanding from time to
time. The Bonds rank equally in right of payment with the Issuer's senior unsecured debt outstanding
from time to time and senior in right of payment to the Issuer's subordinated debt (if any) outstanding
from time to time. The secured creditors of the Issuer will have priority over the assets securing their
debt. In the event that such secured debt becomes due or a secured lender proceeds against the assets
that secure the debt, the assets would be available to satisfy obligations under the secured debt before
any payment would be made on the Bonds. Any assets remaining after repayment of its secured debt
may not be sufficient to repay all amounts owing under the Bonds.

1.2. Risk related to Bonds in general

Set out below is a brief description of certain risks relating to the Bonds in general:

Modification and waiver
The conditions of the Bonds contain provisions for calling meetings of Bondholders to consider matters
affecting their interests generally. These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all Bondholders,
including Bondholders who did not attend and vote at the relevant meeting and Bondholders who voted
in a manner contrary to the majority.

The Issuer and the Bond Trustee (acting on behalf of the Bondholders) may agree to amend the Finance
Documents or waive a past default or anticipated failure to comply with any provision in a Finance
Document, provided that:

a) such amendment or waiver is not detrimental to the rights and benefits of the Bondholders in
any material respect, or is made solely for the purpose of rectifying obvious errors and
mistakes; or

b) such amendment or waiver is required by applicable law, a court ruling or a decision by a
relevant authority; or

c) such amendment or waiver has been duly approved by the Bondholders in accordance with
Clause 15 (Bondholders ' Decisions) in the Bond Terms.

Change in Norwegian law or administrative practice
The conditions of the Bonds are based on Norwegian law in effect as at the date of this Prospectus. No
assurance can be given as to the impact of any possible judicial decision or change to Norwegian law or
administrative practice after the date of this Prospectus and any such change could materially adversely
impact the value of any Bonds affected by it.

Change of Control and De-listing Event

Upon the occurrence of a certain change of control events or if the Issuer ceases to be a publicly listed
company on the Oslo Stock Exchange (Nw.: Oslo Børs), as set out in Section 10.2 (Mandatory
repurchase due to a Put Option Event) of the Bond Terms, under certain circumstances each Bondholder
will have the right to require the Issuer to redeem its Bonds. It is possible however that the Issuer will
not have sufficient funds to redeem the Bonds at the time such an event occurs. If sufficient funds are
not available to the Issuer for the purpose of carrying out the redemptions, Bondholders may receive

Securities Note - FRN Aker Solutions ASA Senior Unsecured Bond Issue 2018/2022




ISIN NO 0010814213

less than the principal amount of the Bonds should they elect to exercise their right to redeem.
Furthermore, if such a right to redeem is exercised by the Bondholder, this might adversely affect the
Issuer's financial position.

Additional debt in the future

The conditions of the Bonds do not prohibit the Issuer from issuing, providing guarantees or otherwise
incurring further debt ranking pari passu with its existing obligations. If the Issuer incurs significant
additional debt ranking equally with the Bonds, it will increase the number of claims that would be
entitled to share rateably with Bondholders in any proceeds distributed in connection with an
insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceeding.
