Published

on

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, HONG KONG, SOUTH AFRICA OR THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

OSLO, Norway, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement made by Hexagon Composites ASA (the “Company”) on 7 May 2026 regarding the successful private placement of 68,750,000 new shares in the Company (the “Private Placement Shares”) at a price of NOK 8.00 per share, raising gross proceeds of NOK 550 million (the “Private Placement”), and a potential subsequent offering (the “Subsequent Offering”) of up to 15,625,000 new shares in the Company (the “Offer Shares”) at the same subscription price as in the Private Placement. Reference is further made to the resolutions made by the annual general meeting of the Company held on 4 June 2026 to, inter alia, (i) issue the Private Placement Shares, and (ii) authorize the Board of Directors of the Company to issue up to 15,625,000 Offer Shares in the Subsequent Offering.

Approval and publication of prospectus
The Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority has today, 5 June 2026, approved a prospectus prepared by the Company for the Subsequent Offering and the listing of the Offer Shares and the Private Placement Shares on Euronext Oslo Børs (the “Prospectus”). The Prospectus, including the subscription form for the Subsequent Offering, will, subject to regulatory restrictions in certain jurisdictions, be made available at www.dnb.no/emisjoner.

The Subsequent Offering
The Subsequent Offering consists of an offer of up to 15,625,000 Offer Shares at a subscription price of NOK 8.00 per Offer Share (being the same subscription price as in the Private Placement), thereby raising gross proceeds of up to NOK 125 million.

The Subsequent Offering will be directed towards shareholders in the Company as of 7 May 2026 (as registered in the VPS on 11 May 2026), who (i) were not included in the pre-sounding phase of the Private Placement; (ii) were not allocated shares in the Private Placement and (iii) are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful, or for jurisdictions other than Norway, would require any prospectus filing, registration or similar action (“Eligible Shareholders”).

Each Eligible Shareholder will receive 0.12 non-tradeable subscription right (the “Subscription Rights”) for each share held by such Eligible Shareholder in the Company as of the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole right. Each Subscription Right will, subject to applicable securities laws, give the preferential right to subscribe for, and be allocated, one Offer Share in the Subsequent Offering. Over-subscription will be permitted, but there can be no assurance that Offer Shares will be allocated for such subscriptions. Subscription without Subscription Rights will not be permitted.

The subscription period for the Subsequent Offering commences on 8 June 2026 at 09:00 (CEST) and, subject to any extension, expires on 19 June 2026 at 16:30 (CEST) (the “Subscription Period”).

The Subscription Rights must be used to subscribe for Offer Shares before the end of the Subscription Period. Subscription Rights which are not exercised before the end of the Subscription Period will have no value and will lapse without compensation to the holder.

Subscriptions for Offer Shares must be made by submitting a correctly completed copy of the subscription form attached to the Prospectus to the Manager during the Subscription Period. Subscribers who are residents of Norway with a Norwegian personal identification number may also subscribe for Offer Shares through the VPS online subscription system (or by following the link on www.dnb.no/emisjoner, which will redirect the subscriber to the VPS online subscription system). Complete information on the terms and conditions of the Subsequent Offering, including subscription procedures, is set out in the Prospectus. Subscriptions may only be made on the basis of the Prospectus.

Advisors
DNB Carnegie, a part of DNB Bank ASA, is acting as manager for the Subsequent Offering (the “Manager”). Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS is acting as legal counsel to the Company.

Norton Reveals the Top 10 Scams Standing Between You and a Scam Free Summer

Published

From AI-powered imposter fraud to reservation hijacking, Norton pinpoints the attacks surging most between now and Labor Day

TEMPE, Ariz. and PRAGUE, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SPF isn’t the only protection you need this summer. Norton, a global leader in consumer Cyber Safety and part of Gen (NASDAQ: GEN), today launched Scam Free Summer to help people spot and stop the scams that spike in in the summer months. The forecast shines light on the moments scammers tend to show up most.

Norton’s 2026 Summer Scam Forecast shares the 10 scam types projected to be most active this summer, grounded in a Norton analysis of millions of scam attacks blocked by Norton in 2024 and 2025 and cross-referenced against emerging threat patterns from spring 2026.

Why is Summer So Hot For Some Scams?

“Scammers follow the calendar,” said Leyla Bilge, Global Head of Scam Research for Norton. “People are understandably distracted, spending more on travel and tickets, tapping confirmation links without a second look. Scam Free Summer gives you the playbook to enjoy the season without lining a scammer’s pockets.”

Gen’s threat data shares the top trends:

Imposter scams are when fraudsters pose as family members, government agencies, or known contacts. These jumped 144% last summer compared to the rest of the year.Financial scam attacks in the U.S. were up 55% versus the annual average.Package delivery scams rose 89%.Gambling fraud climbed 88%, driven by summer sports events.

What’s new in 2026: AI is doing even more heavy lifting for scammers. Voice cloning has made phone-based imposter scams harder to detect, and deepfake technology has made romance fraud and investment schemes more convincing. Data breaches are contributing to the rise in Reservation Hijacking Scams, while lookalike sites built to mimic real booking platforms, sportsbooks, and ticket sellers are surfacing through paid search ads, often indistinguishable from the real thing.

The Scam-Free Summer Forecast

Norton’s threat intelligence team is tracking the scams hitting right now. Trending scams include:

Reservation hijack attacks that use your real hotel name, real dates, and real confirmation number to redirect your payment to a fake page.Fake ticket sites for sold-out concerts, festivals, or sports events like the World Cup that surface above the legitimate sellers in search results.AI-powered romance scams where the video chats look real (because they are, just not the person on the other end).Gambling sites built specifically for major sporting events, designed to disappear by September before anyone catches up.

The forecast details 10 scams in total, each with the threat data behind the seasonal spike and the specific steps to avoid it. The full 2026 Summer Scam Forecast is available now at https://us.norton.com/blog/research/summer-scams.

How to Stay Safe
For consumers who want real-time protection against these threats, Norton Genie has them covered. Built directly into Norton Cyber Safety products, Genie analyzes texts,, emails, and websites for hidden scam patterns and detects sophisticated schemes even the most careful person can miss. Key features like Safe SMS, Safe Web, and Safe Email proactively flag suspicious content before it can do damage, while Safe Call automatically blocks scam calls. For those who do fall victim, Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus also includes Scam Support and Reimbursement to help recover lost funds. You can also use Genie with the Norton App in ChatGPT.

Norton wishes everyone a Scam Free Summer and will be sharing additional threat intelligence, expert commentary, and consumer guidance throughout the season.

About Norton
Norton is a leader in Cyber Safety, and part of Gen (NASDAQ: GEN), a global company dedicated to powering Digital Freedom with a family of trusted consumer brands. Norton empowers millions of individuals and families with award-winning protection for their devices, online privacy, and identity.
