The Company’s shares are currently fully exchangeable between TSXV in Canada and Nasdaq First North in Sweden and will remain fully exchangeable between EGO in Norway and Nasdaq First North in Sweden upon completion of the proposed transactions (provided each shareholder has the requisite accounts in Euroclear and VPS). The Company has published a “Simplified Roadmap For Investors” in connection with the transfer of the Company’s primary listing to Oslo on its website (Oslo Listing and Bermuda Continuance | ShaMaran Petroleum Corp.).
The conversion from SDRs listed on Nasdaq First North in Sweden to shares listed on EGO in Norway and vice versa normally entails administrative fees from the custodian or account holding institution. The Company will offer conversion free of charge through DNB Bank ASA Sweden Branch until June 30, 2026. If Swedish shareholders convert SDRs or shares after this date, customary costs will apply. Further information on the conversion process will be provided by the Company in connection with, or shortly following, the contemplated listing on EGO.
The ISIN codes for the SDRs and the ShaMaran Petroleum Ltd. shares in VPS will be announced by the Company following the effective date of the Continuance.
The Company intends to make an application to the applicable Canadian securities commissions to cease to be a reporting issuer in Canada upon completion of the continuance to Bermuda.
