Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement by Edda Wind ASA ("Edda
Wind" or the "Company") on 2 March 2023 regarding the ordering of four
commissioning service operation vessels ("CSOV") newbuilds to be built by Vard
Group. Edda Wind is today pleased to announce that the Company has entered into
a green term loan facility agreement for the pre- and postdelivery financing of
the four vessels under construction at Vard. 

The agreement is a EUR 161 million green loan facility with Crédit Agricole
Corporate and Investment Bank, Danske Bank A/S, DNB Bank ASA and SpareBank 1
SR-Bank ASA, with expiry in 2029 and a profile of 12 years. The facility
corresponds to a leverage ratio of 60% of the ready for sea cost of the vessels.


"We are pleased to secure another attractive green loan facility for our
newbuilding programme.  Edda Wind is grateful for the support by a group of
first-class lenders with a commitment to the offshore wind industry and pleased
that the bank group is further expanded, preparing the Company for the journey
ahead. Following this agreement, 13 of the 14 vessels in our fleet have secured
long term financing and we expect to finalise the debt financing of the
remaining vessel in 2024 once we have reached relevant yard milestones. By this
facility, Edda Wind has raised in excess of EUR 400 million in capital during
2023 for our newbuilding programme" says Kenneth Walland, CEO of Edda Wind.
