Factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with Bond 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, the merits and risks of investing in the Bonds and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Securities Note and/or Registration Document or any applicable supplement; (ii) have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular financial situation, an investment in the Bonds and the impact the Bonds will have on its overall investment portfolio; (iii) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Bonds, including where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential investor s currency; (iv) understand thoroughly the terms of the Bonds and be familiar with the behaviour of the financial markets; and (v) be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks. 2

Kongsberg Gruppen ASA, 20.01.2017 Securities Note ISIN NO 001 0779770 1. Risk factors All investments in interest bearing securities have risk associated with such investment. The risk is related to the general volatility in the market for such securities, varying liquidity in a single bond issue as well as company specific risk factors. An investment in interest bearing securities is only suitable for investors who understand the risk factors associated with this type of investments and who can afford a loss of all or part of the investment. Please refer to the Registration Document dated November 8 th 2016 for a listing of company specific risk factors. There are five main risk factors that sum up the investors total risk exposure when investing in interest bearing securities: liquidity risk, interest rate risk, settlement risk, credit risk and market risk (both in general and issuer specific). Liquidity risk is the risk that a party interested in trading bonds in the Bond Issue cannot do it because nobody in the market wants to trade the bonds. Missing demand of the bonds may incur a loss on the bondholder. Interest rate risk is the risk borne by the Bond Issue due to variability of the NIBOR interest rate. The coupon payments, which depend on the NIBOR interest rate and the Margin, will vary in accordance with the variability of the NIBOR interest rate. The interest rate risk related to this Bond Issue will be limited, since the coupon rate will be adjusted quarterly according to the change in the reference interest rate (NIBOR 3 months) over the 3.25 year tenor. The primary price risk for a floating rate bond issue will be related to the market view of the correct trading level for the credit spread related to the bond issue at a certain time during the tenor, compared with the credit margin the bond issue is carrying. A possible increase in the credit spread trading level relative to the coupon defined credit margin may relate to general changes in the market conditions and/or Issuer specific circumstances. However, under normal market circumstances the anticipated tradable credit spread will fall as the duration of the bond issue becomes shorter. In general, the price of bonds will fall when the credit spread in the market increases, and conversely the bond price will increase when the market spread decreases. Settlement risk is the risk that the settlement of bonds in the Bond Issue does not take place as agreed. The settlement risk consists of the failure to pay or the failure to deliver the bonds. Credit risk is the risk that the Issuer fails to make the required payments under the Bond Issue (either principal or interest). Market risk is the risk that the value of the Bond Issue will decrease due to the change in value of the market risk factors. The price of a single bond issue will fluctuate in accordance with the interest rate and credit markets in general, the market view of the credit risk of that particular bond issue, and the liquidity of the bond issue in the market. In spite of an underlying positive development in the Issuers business activities, the price of a bond may fall independent of this fact. Bond issues with a relatively short tenor and a floating rate coupon rate do however in general carry a lower price risk compared to bond issues with a longer tenor and/or with a fixed coupon rate. No market-maker agreement is entered into in relation to this Bond Issue, and the liquidity of bonds will at all times depend on the market participants view of the credit quality of the Issuer as well as established and available credit lines. 4
