Risk factors
A number of risk factors may adversely affect Kistefos AS (the “Company” or “Kistefos”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). Below is a brief summary of some of the risk factors relevant for the Group. Any of the following risks could cause the trading price or underlying value of securities issued by the Group to decline, and all or part of an investment being lost. The risks described below are not, and are not meant to be, exhaustive, and other risks not discussed herein may also adversely affect the Group, its operations and future prospects. The Bonds may not be a suitable investment for all investors: Each potential investor in the Bonds must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should: (i) have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Bonds; (ii) have access to and knowledge of the appropriate analytical tools to evaluate an investment in the Bonds; (iii) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear the risks associated with investment in the Bonds; (iv) understand the terms of the Bonds and the behavior of the relevant financial markets; and (v) be able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment. Kistefos is an investment company which is exposed to volatility in the value of its assets Kistefos is an active investment company with exposure both in terms of its ownership and its receivables towards companies that operate within the financing, telecom, real estate, shipping and offshore sectors. The Company’s risk is financially driven and connected to the underlying development of the companies in which the Company has invested. Acquisitions of companies or businesses, in whole or in part, are subject to various risks. Macroeconomic developments, developments in charter rates, oil prices, real estate prices, regulatory and political risk, counterparty risk, the companies'
- perational performance and successful achievement of strategies etc., may all impact on such risk, and are largely outside Kistefos' control.
In turbulent markets, or other challenging situations, certain portfolio companies may require further funding from their shareholders and/or other concessions from stakeholders. Kistefos is exposed to risk related to capital markets volatility with respect to the pricing and value of its listed assets. Certain of the industries in which the Company is invested are volatile, especially the shipping industry and the offshore sector. The portfolio may change over time, and there may be changes from time to time with respect to which companies are consolidated in the accounts. As an investment company with a predictable cost base the Company’s operational risk is limited. Risk related to upstreaming of cash As a holding company, Kistefos depends on adequate liquidity through upstreaming of cash and dividends from portfolio companies in order to service its debt and operational expenditures. The performance and financial position of the portfolio companies will affect such companies’ ability to pay dividends and to repay any outstanding intragroup receivables as well as Kistefos' opportunities for new investments and divestments. Kistefos' ability to upstream cash could also be affected by changes in tax laws or other regulations or contractual restrictions on portfolio companies. Any limitation on the ability of Kistefos' subsidiaries to pay dividends to it could have a material adverse effect on its ability to conduct its business.

Risk factors cont’d
Structurally subordination. The Bonds will be subordinated to the Issuer’s secured debt and the debt of its subsidiaries. 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 the Issuer’s secured debt may not be sufficient to repay all amounts owing under the Bonds. Investments in unlisted companies Kistefos is involved in a number of unlisted companies. Such investments are by their nature illiquid, and the Company may not be able to carry out a successful exit from, or realize the underlying values in, such companies. Furthermore, disagreements with other shareholders or management in such companies may have a material adverse effect on the investments. Risk associated to operations in foreign currencies Some of the Group companies operate in international markets which lead to various types of currency exposure and exchange rate fluctuations which may affect the Group’s results of operations. Currency risks arise through ordinary, future business transactions, capitalized assets and liabilities, and when such transactions involve cash flows in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective company. In addition, currency risk may arise from investments in foreign subsidiaries or other investments. Management of operational risk primarily takes place at the underlying operating companies with established hedging policies in order to reduce exposure and fluctuations in foreign currencies. Financial risk and exposure The Company is exposed to several types of financial risk, especially liquidity and interest rate risks. Liquidity risk is associated with the Company being unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Kistefos’ interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings and receivables. Borrowings and receivables issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. Risk associated to guarantees Kistefos may from time to time issue guarantees on behalf of subsidiaries. Failure by a subsidiary to fulfil a guaranteed obligation may accordingly impact Kistefos’ earnings and debt service capabilities. Current guarantees are limited compared to Kistefos’ balance sheet and Kistefos’ strategy is to keep this at a limited level going forward.

Risk factors cont’d
Risk associated to financing and cost of debt Kistefos’ financing strategy includes both the use of bond and bank financing, and Kistefos is accordingly exposed to refinancing risk in the bond and bank
- markets. In addition, and dependent on the prevailing market conditions if and when Kistefos engages in refinancing activities, the Company is exposed to
fluctuating interest rates and margins which may be below or above current cost of debt. Kistefos is also indirectly exposed to risk related to financing arrangements and cost of debt in the companies in which it is invested. If the Group’s future revenues decline, or if the Group is unable to attract investors to increase the Group’s equity, or if new debt arrangements and/or capital expenditure financings in general are not accessible, or only on unattractive commercial terms, the Group will experience a limited ability to conduct its business. There is no assurance that additional funding, if required, will be available on acceptable terms at the relevant time. Taxation The Company aims at securing a beneficial tax structure. However, the Company cannot guarantee an optimal tax treatment at all times. The Group may be negatively affected by changes in tax laws or in the interpretation of tax laws. Management and other personnel The Group is substantially dependent on the services of key personnel and the loss of the services of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Group. There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to continue to attract and retain all personnel necessary for the development and operation of its business. Litigation The Group may from time to time be involved in, or subject to, legal, governmental, regulatory, litigation or arbitration proceedings, the outcome and/or cost of which may have a material adverse effect on the Group. The Group’s insurance protection may not be applicable or sufficient in all cases and/or insurers may not remain solvent. This may have a material adverse effect on the Group's reputation, business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Insurance The insurance policies of the Group companies may not fully protect them against all risks and losses to which each of them may be exposed. Accordingly, the Group could incur substantial losses if an event which is not fully covered by insurance occurs. Restrictive covenants The bond agreement relating to the Bond Issue will provide certain general restrictions on the Group from certain actions. Such restrictive covenants may include, but are not limited to, restrictions on asset sales and acquisitions, the ability to pay dividends or other capital distributions, enter into certain financing transactions with affiliates, and the possibility to raise certain forms of additional financial indebtedness. The restrictions in the terms and conditions of the bond agreement may prevent the Group from taking actions that it believes would be in its best interest, and may make it difficult for the Group to execute its business strategy successfully or compete effectively with companies that are not similarly restricted.
