The Company has applied for admission to trading of its Shares on Euronext Growth Oslo and it is expected that the Shares will start trading on or about 25 March 2021 under the ticker symbol "IWS". Euronext Growth is a market operated by Euronext.

Instead they are subject to a less extensive set of rules and regulations adjusted to small growth companies. The risk in investing in a company on Euronext Growth may therefore be higher than investing in a company on a Regulated Market. Investors should take this into account when making investment decisions.

Please note that neither the institution nor the examiners are responsible − through the approval of this thesis − for the theories and methods used, or results and conclusions drawn in this work. II Abstract We study the Day-of-the-Week effect in the Norwegian securities market from 2000 to 2019, in which we examine whether daily returns are lower on Monday and higher on Friday than the other days of the week. We find evidence suggesting that such an anomaly does exist, in which Monday returns are 0.059 percentage points lower, and Friday returns are 0.23 percentage points higher than the other days of the week. We further test whether this phenomenon can be explained by differences in calendar settlement time, changes in investor sentiment or speculative short seller activity. Our findings suggest that increased investor sentiment from Thursday to Friday, as well as the closing of speculative short positions on Fridays, may contribute to the Day-of-the-Week effect in the Norwegian securities market. Keywords: Day-of-the-Week effect, market anomaly, settlement time, investor sentiment, speculative short interest III Acknowledgements This master thesis constitutes 30 ECTS of our respective Master of Science degrees in Financial Economics and Business Analytics at the Norwegian School of Economics.

  • M&A Rationales and Their Effect on Value Creation
    Master’s Thesis M.Sc. in Business Administration & Economics Finance and Investments M&A Rationales and Their Effect on Value Creation An empirical study on the Nordic stock market between 1998 - 2018 Copenhagen Business School Author: Daniell Hanna (116306) Supervisor: Torben Søstrup Date of Submission: 09.09.2019 Characters (with spaces): 155,008 equivalent of 68 standard pages 1 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to contribute to prior literature examining whether mergers and acquisitions (M&A) create value and if some deal types create relatively larger value for both acquiring and target shareholders. This study does that by investigating how the acquirer’s rationale for entering a M&A deal affect value creation for acquiring and target firms. Further, we asses which factors that are important in explaining value creation within and across different acquisition types. The different deal types are categorized by the acquirer’s rationale for entering a deal, which can be distinguished by capturing growth, consolidation, complementary assets and products, economies of scale, and financial related synergies. The data consists of 218 and 214 M&A deals in the Nordics between 1998 and 2018 for the acquirer and target sample, respectively. Firstly, to examine if the acquirer’s rationale for entering a M&A transaction impact firm value, we apply the event study methodology to evaluate the significance of announcement period average cumulative abnormal returns (����) and differences in ���� across the five deal types. Secondly, in order to understand which factors are important in explaining the ���� within and across the different deal types, we conduct a cross-sectional regression using the payment method (cash or stock/mix), deal geography (cross-border or domestic), earnings multiple paid by the acquirer (EV/EBITDA), deal size (targets enterprise value) and deal direction (vertical or horizontal) as explanatory variables.

    KETERLIBATAN TIONGKOK SEBAGAI EMERGING SUPERPOWER DALAM DINAMIKA POLITIK KAWASAN ARKTIKA: URGENSI KEBUTUHAN SUMBER DAYA ALAM & STRATEGI POLAR SILK ROAD Gerald Fatya Mahendra Departemen Hubungan Internasional Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik Universitas Airlangga E-mail: [email protected] Abstrak Terlepas dari lokasi geografisnya yang jauh dari kawasan Arktika, Tiongkok juga merupakan salah satu negara yang memiliki kepentingan di kawasan tersebut. Intensitas keterlibatan Tiongkok di kawasan Arktika bersifat gradual seiring dengan perkembangan Tiongkok sebagai sebuah negara. Terdapat dua fenomena monumental dalam mengkaji partisipasi aktif Tiongkok di kawasan Arktika, yaitu bergabungnya Tiongkok sebagai observer dalam forum Dewan Arktika pada tahun 2013 dan diterbitkannya Artic Policy White Paper oleh pemerintah Tiongkok yang berisikan posisi serta kepentingan Tiongkok di kawasan Arktika pada tahun 2018. Melalui white paper tersebut, Tiongkok juga mendeklarasikan dirinya sebagai Near-Arctic state sehingga Tiongkok juga memiliki hak untuk berpartisipasi dalam tata kelola kepemerintahan Arktika. Penulis melihat pergerakan Tiongkok di kawasan Arktika melalui sudut pandang keamanan energi dan geostrategi. Melalui kedua sudut pandang tersebut, penulis memiliki tesis bahwa alasan Tiongkok berpartisipasi aktif di kawasan Arktika adalah sebagai upaya mengorientasikan dirinya sebagai emerging superpower. Sebagai emerging superpower, Tiongkok memiliki dua kepentingan. Pertama adalah kepentingan untuk memenuhi urgensi kebutuhan sumber
