("DNO" or "the Company")


Reference is made to notice, published on the website of The
Norwegian National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of
Economic and Environmental Crime (Økokrim) today.

As may be known, several transactions are being investigated with
regards to possible information leakage and manipulation of
information in the media, which may have had an effect on the share
price of DNO. DNO has no part in these investigations.

DNO will request Økokrim to investigate possible leakages from the
Oslo Stock Exchange, pertaining to  the so-called DNO case.

DNO is looking forward to an investigation of all the extraordinary
transactions in the DNO share and anticipates that the investigation
will clarify any speculations regarding these.

DNO notes that once again a public entity releases information that
directly effects the price of the DNO share, without prior
notification, giving DNO no opportunity to supply the market with
supplementary and precise information.
