The Shareholder Loans will carry an interest of 16% per annum. The Investors have further agreed to partially underwrite a contemplated rights issue of new shares to raise gross proceeds of up toNOK 18 million (the "Rights Issue"), where the Investors shall underwrite subscription of new shares for gross proceeds ofNOK 12.35 million (i.e., the same amount as the Shareholder Loan). The Investors will settle their share deposits for shares allocated in the Rights Issue through conversion of the Shareholder Loan and accrued interest thereunder. The Company has agreed with the Investors that the price per new share in the Rights Issue shall beNOK 0.12 per new share, which is below the current par value of the shares of the Company.

The completion of any share capital decrease, Rights Issue and the conversion of the Shareholder Loans will be subject to approval by general meetings of the Company. The contemplated share capital decrease process is expected to be completed duringSeptember 2024 and the Rights Issue will only commence after completion of the share capital decrease process. The commencement of the Rights Issue will also be subject to registration and publication of a national offering prospectus. Subject to completion of the Rights Issue, the Investors shall be entitled to an underwriting commission of 10% of their respective underwriting obligations, which shall be settled by delivery of newly issued shares in the Company at the issue price in the Rights Issue. Upon disbursement of the Shareholder Loan, the Company will be in compliance with its share of the funding requirements for the ongoing construction and completion works at theSunrise River Beach Resort for the summer season of 2024.
