Security and sustainability shaping global
priorities
The world’s focus on resilient security and sustainable solutions
creates strong tailwinds for both businesses to stand as separate
entities
Strong growth and momentum have created
two autonomous entities
Through consistent growth and strategic focus, both entities have
evolved into robust leaders in their respective markets
Positioning two robust and independent
entities for the future
Record-high order backlogs for both entities set the foundation for
two solid and independent businesses, another strategic step
towards delivering on our previously announced 2033-targets
Over time, KONGSBERG has grown and evolved into leading, autonomous entities

The separation carries strong strategic merits
4
Sharper strategic focus
The demerger will focus leadership capacity, and foster value creation in distinct markets driven by global
megatrends
01
Stronger execution power
Allows each entity to strengthen their approach, agility, and execution power within their respective
domains
02
Improved ability to navigate market-specific challenges and opportunities
Different markets, with different strategic requirements, will benefit from autonomous business models
03
Enhanced competitiveness
Each entity with a size and scalability to ensure an internationally competitive position in their respective
markets
04
Kongsberg Maritime and KONGSBERG will separate to optimise operational capabilities and
deliver long-term values for all stakeholders
Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace and Kongsberg Discovery are joining forces to supercharge defence and
surveillance – faster innovation, more dual-use
Kongsberg Maritime makes maritime operations cleaner, safer and more energy efficient

The two separate shares are expected to commence trading in
Q2 2026
• Transaction structure: The separation of Kongsberg Maritime from KONGSBERG will be carried out as a
demerger, without any offering of shares
• Receipt of shares: Shareholders of Kongsberg Gruppen ASA as of completion of the demerger will receive
shares in Kongsberg Maritime at a 1:1 ratio based on their respective KOG shareholding
• Separate stock exchange listing of Kongsberg Maritime: The shares of Kongsberg Maritime are to be
separately listed on the Euronext Oslo Børs, with first day of trading expected in Q2 2026. At or around the
same time, the KOG shares will trade exclusive of the right to receive shares in Kongsberg Maritime. Last
inclusive date and ex-date to be announced in due course
• Shareholder voting: An extraordinary general meeting in KOG to approve the demerger plan is expected to
be held in January 2026. The Norwegian state, through the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries (Nw.:
Nærings- og Fiskeridepartementet), has expressed support for the Board’s proposal
• Management and board composition of the two companies: Complete management structure will be
shared at a later stage. A new Board for Kongsberg Maritime will be effective when the demerger is
completed
• Indicative timeline:
