DOF Group ASA: Key information related to potential Subsequent Offering

Austevoll, 3 July 2024: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement
made by DOF Group ASA ("DOF" or the "Company") earlier today regarding the
successful placing of a private placement of 10,746,364 new shares in the
Company, raising NOK 1,064 million in gross proceeds (the "Private Placement"),
in which it was also stated that the board of directors (the "Board")[, subject
to completion of certain conditions, resolved to implement a subsequent repair
offering of 2,014,943 new shares raising gross proceeds of NOK approximately 199
million (the "Subsequent Offering").

The Subsequent Offering will, subject to applicable securities law, be directed
towards existing shareholders in the Company as of 2 July 2024 (as registered in
Euronext Securities Oslo (ESO) on 4 July 2024), who (i) were not contacted in
the pre-sounding/wallcrossing of the Private Placement, (ii) were not allocated
Offer Shares in the Private Placement, and (iii) are not resident in a
jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or would (in jurisdictions
other than Norway) require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar
action (the "Eligible Shareholders").

The Eligible Shareholders will be granted non-transferable subscription rights
to subscribe for and be allocated new shares in the Subsequent Offering. The
subscription price in the Subsequent Offering will be equal to the Offer Price.
Oversubscription will be permitted, but subscription without subscription rights
will not be permitted. The net proceeds from the Subsequent Offering will be
used for general corporate purposes.

The Subsequent Offering is fully underwritten by Geveran Trading Co Limited,
without any underwriting fee.

Completion of the Subsequent Offering will be subject to (i) the approval of the
Company's extraordinary general meeting of an authorisation to the Board to
issue the shares in the Subsequent Offering and (ii) the publication of a
prospectus pertaining to the Subsequent Offering and listing of the
consideration shares in the MSS Transaction, approved by the Norwegian Financial
Supervisory Authority.

Subject to completion of the Subsequent Offering and closing of the acquisition
of Maersk Supply Service A/S from Maersk Supply Service Holding A/S ("MSSH"), as
announced by the Company on 2 July 2024, MSSH will in a separate share issue
(the "MSSH Repair") subscribe for and be allocated 671,648 new shares in the
Company, representing 25% of the total number of shares issued in the Subsequent
