Nasdaq Nordic: Nasdaq Stockholm orders Viking Supply Ships AB to pay a fine corresponding to three annual fees

Stockholm, October 8, 2018 - The Disciplinary Committee of Nasdaq Stockholm has
found that Viking Supply Ships AB ("Viking" or the "Company") has breached
Nasdaq Stockholm's Rule Book for Issuers (the "Rule Book") and therefore
ordered Viking to pay a fine of three annual fees, corresponding to an amount
of SEK 615,000. 

The Disciplinary Committee has concluded that Viking breached item 3.3.3 of the
Rule Book by not publishing its interim report for the third quarter of 2017
(the "Interim Report") within the prescribed two-month time limit, and also
item 3.3.16 of the Rule Book in connection with the postponement of the Interim
Report, by not stating a new date for its publication or an estimate of when it
could be expected to be published. The Disciplinary Committee has also found
that Viking, by not disclosing information about the postponement as soon as
possible, breached item 3.3.16 in conjunction with the methodology requirement
stipulated in items 3.3.1 and 3.1 of the Rule Book. 

The Disciplinary Committee takes a serious view of the breaches given that the
Company as recently as November 2016 was criticized by the Exchange for similar
shortcomings in connection with the Company's publication of its annual report
2015 when the Company inter alia published the annual report one month late.
The Disciplinary Committee has thus decided that the sanction should be a fine
corresponding to three annual fees.

Accountant Magnus Svensson Henryson, Lawyer Wilhelm Lüning and Company Director
Anders Oscarsson. Secretary: Bachelor of Legal Science Erik Lidman. 

About the Disciplinary Committee

The role of Nasdaq Stockholm's Disciplinary Committee is to consider suspicions
regarding whether Exchange Members or listed companies have breached the rules
and regulations applying on the Exchange. If the Exchange suspects that a
member or company has acted in breach of the rules, the matter is referred to
the Disciplinary Committee. Nasdaq Stockholm investigates the suspicions and
pursues the matter and the Disciplinary Committee issues a ruling regarding
possible sanctions. The sanctions possible for listed companies are a warning,
a fine or delisting. The fines that may be imposed range from one to 15 annual
fees. The sanctions possible for Exchange Members are a warning, a fine or
debarment. Fines paid are not included in the Exchange's business but are
attributed to a foundation supporting research in the securities market. The
Disciplinary Committee's Chairman and Deputy Chairman must be lawyers with
experience of serving as judges. At least two of the other members of the
Committee must have in-depth insight into the workings of the securities
market.
