Reference is made to the offer document dated 4 July 2013 (the "Offer Document"), issued by Yinson Production Limited (the "Offeror"), relating to its voluntary tender offer (the "Offer") to acquire all outstanding shares (the "Shares") in Fred. Olsen Production ASA (the "Company" or "FOP"). The prevailing acceptance period in the Offer will expire at 18:00 hours (CET) on 2 September 2013.

As of the date hereof, the Offeror has received acceptances for a total of 102,215,928 Shares in the Offer (including the pre-acceptance by First Olsen Ltd), equalling 96.5% of the outstanding Shares and votes in FOP. Accordingly, the condition relating to acceptance level in the Offer has been met.

Completion of the Offer is subject to the fulfilment or waiver by the Offeror of the remaining conditions to completion set out in the Offer Document. The Offeror expects that the remaining conditions will be met or waived, as applicable, no later than 5 September 2013. In the event that the Offeror has not announced that all conditions for completion of the Offer have been met or waived by 18:00 hours (CET) on 29 November 2013 (the "Drop-Dead Date"), the Offer will not be completed and shareholders who have tendered their Shares will be released from their acceptances of the Offer.
