Mandatory notification of trade

Reference is made to the 3 May 2010 announcement of Mr Geir Karlsen taking up
the position as CFO of Songa Offshore SE as from today's date and the 9 December
2009 announcement related to the Company's current incentive program.

Mr Karlsen has today been awarded 200,000 stock appreciation rights (each a
"Right"). Each Right gives Mr Karlsen a right to receive, upon exercise, a cash
compensation equal to the quoted share price of the shares upon exercise, less
the strike price. The strike price is NOK 19.88 per share, which equals the
closing price for the Shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange on 2 August 2010, being
the day on which Mr Karlsen took office. The rights will be vested over a 17
month period counted from 1 August 2010, with 1/2 of the rights being vested
after 5 months (i.e. per 1 January 2011) and 1/2 after 17 months (i.e. per 1
January 2012). The rights may be exercised by Mr Karlsen at any time in the 24
month period after the relevant vesting period.
