EAM SOLAR ASA - APPROVAL OF PROSPECTUS IN CONNECTION WITH RIGHTS ISSUE, LISTING OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS AND LISTING OF SHARES

Reference is made to the announcement from EAM Solar ASA (the "Company") on 26 June 2017 regarding the fully underwritten rights issue directed towards shareholders of the Company (the "Rights Offering"), and the approval of the Company's general meeting on 8 August 2017 of the Rights Offering of 1,250,000 new shares in the Company (the "New Shares") and the issuance of 532,210 new shares in the Company to EAM Solar Park Management AS (the "Consideration Shares").

The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway has on 8 August 2017 approved a prospectus for the offering and listing of the 1,250,000 New Shares at a subscription price of NOK 24 per new share with tradable subscription rights, and the listing of the 532,210 Consideration Shares.

The prospectus will be made publicly available at the offices of the Company (Dronningen 1, 0287 Oslo, Norway). The prospectus will also be made available on the Company's website www.eamsolar.no and on www.carnegie.no.

The Company's shareholders as registered in the VPS on 10 August 2017, who are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful, or (in jurisdictions other than Norway) would require any prospectus filing, registration or similar action, will receive 0.22312 subscription rights for each share that they own in the Company on the above-mentioned date. The issuance of the Consideration Shares will be registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises on 9 August 2017 and the Consideration Shares will consequently be entitled to subscription rights in the Rights Issue. The ratio of subscription rights to existing shares has been calculated on this basis.

The number of subscription rights issued to each shareholder has been rounded down to the nearest whole subscription right. The holders of subscription rights will be entitled to subscribe for and be allocated one (1) New Share for every (1) subscription right held. Oversubscription and subscription without subscription rights is permitted. The subscription rights will be fully tradable and listed on Oslo Axess with ticker code "EAM T" in the period from 11 August 2017 to 24 August 2017.

The subscription period in the Rights Offering commences 11 August 2017 and expires 28 August 2017 at 16:30 CET. The New Shares to be issued in the Rights Offering are expected to be delivered to investors and be tradable on Oslo Axess on or about 4 September 2017.

Subscription rights that have not been sold prior to the expiry of the trading period for the subscription rights or that have not been used to subscribe for New Shares prior to the expiry of the subscription period will lapse and no longer have any value for the holders.

Shareholders who do not exercise their subscription rights will have their ownership percentage diluted by approximately 20%.

New Shares may not be subscribed by investors who are resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful, or for jurisdictions other than Norway which would require any filing, registration or similar action. Regarding further restrictions in respect of who may be allocated or permitted to acquire or exercise subscription rights / subscribe for New Shares, reference is made to Section 15 "Selling and transfer restrictions" in the prospectus.

The main shareholders of the Company have fully underwritten the Rights Offering at a guarantee commission of 2% of the underwritten amount (the "Underwriting Agreement"). The underwriters' obligation was conditional upon the resolution of the Company's extraordinary general meeting on 8 August 2017 to carry out the Rights Offering and the prospectus being approved by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway. These conditions have been met.

The Company has appointed Carnegie AS as Manager for the Rights Offering. Advokatfirmaet Wiersholm AS is the Company's legal counsel.
