Norwegian has chosen an Irish process since its aircraft assets are held in Ireland. Norwegian has taken this decision in the interest of its stakeholders.\n\nNorwegian will continue to operate its route network (currently limited due to the Covid situation) and both its bonds and shares will trade as normal on the Oslo Stock Exchange (Oslo Børs). Norwegian Reward will continue as normal honouring and earning Cash-Points for its members. Safeguarding as many jobs as possible, while rightsizing its asset base, will continue to be a top priority for the management team throughout the process. This is a process under Irish law that may last for up to five months.\n\nIt is important to note that due to the Covid situation, several transportation companies have initiated variations of such examinership processes with a positive outcome for customers, employees, shareholders and other stakeholders. Norwegian is therefore confident that it too will successfully emerge as a stronger and leaner airline ready to meet renewed airline travel demand in 2021 after the Covid pandemic subsides.\n \nThe Norwegian group’s aviation asset platform is held by companies based in Dublin, Ireland. Arctic Aviation Assets DAC is the parent company of these companies. This business area handles aircraft financing and ownership. Arctic Aviation Assets DAC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Norwegian.\n\nFor the latest financial update from the company please refer to third quarter report released on 10th November 2020.\n\nBased on Norwegian’s current cash position and the projections going forward, the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to go through the above-mentioned process.\n\n\n\n\nFor further information, please contact:\nGeir Karlsen, CFO, tel. +47 91608332\nTore Østby, EVP, +47 99546400\n\n\nNorwegian Air shuttle ASA\nFornebu 18 November 2020\n\n\n\nThis information is subject to disclosure requirements pursuant to section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.","category":[{"id":1005,"category_no":"INNSIDEINFORMASJON","category_en":"INSIDE INFORMATION"}],"markets":["XOSL"],"issuerId":7628,"correctionForMessageId":0,"correctedByMessageId":0,"issuerSign":"NAS","issuerName":"Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA","instrId":55463,"instrumentName":"NAS","instrumentFullName":"NORWEGIAN AIR SHUT","publishedTime":"2020-11-18T15:38:53.866Z","test":false,"numbAttachments":0,"attachments":[],"clientAnnouncementId":"19ad3fc2-5670-4a99-83c0-296434084cfd","infoRequired":1,"oamMandatory":1}}}
