Oslo, 27 March 2015 - DNO ASA, the Norwegian oil and gas operator, announced today that the Company has decided not to initiate a repair offering following the successful completion of a NOK 975 million offering of new shares and treasury shares on 10 March 2015.

Since the completion of the offering, 137.29 million DNO shares have traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange, with an average daily trading volume of 10.56 million shares, and at closing prices ranging from NOK 11.20 to NOK 12.81.
