Today’s announced increased shareholding was a purchase option that was agreed in 2017 with a set price at $53.3 million.

Former partners Eidesvik Eiendomsinvest AS and Simon Møkster Eiendom AS have each sold their shareholdings of circa 12%, with NorSea employees retaining the remaining 1% of shares.
