Nexan to Supply Cables to Norway’s Energy Sector; Successfully Places Bond Issue Subscribe @ www.wiretech.com/overview.asp

Norway’s energy sector is poised for an exciting new era. The country is set to more than double its wind energy
generation capacity in one move with the construction of the 1 GW Fosen Vind project. Cables from Nexans, Paris,

France, will be used to carry green energy to thousands of Norwegian households. Linka AS, the
electro-technical contractor for the project, has chosen Nexans to supply cables for the Roan Wind
Farm, which is made up of 71 turbines and will have a capacity of 255 MW. Johs. J. Syltern AS will provide trench-
ing and cable laying.

Additionally, Nexans reports that it has recently successfully placed a €200 million bond issue. This fixed-rated
issue has a maturity of seven years (April 5, 2024 term) and an annual coupon of 2.75 % p.a. The yield to maturity

is 2.75% and the issue price is 100% of par value.
This successful bond issue was allotted to approximately 160 international institutional investors. HSBC and Société

Générale were the global coordinators and joint book runners, BNP Paribas and Banco Santander were also joint
book runners. The bonds will be listed on the regulated market of Euronext Paris. www.nexans.com
