DNO International ASA: Employee Share Saving Scheme - Mandatory Notification of Trade

Oslo, 16 May 2013 - DNO International ASA ("DNO") has established an Employee
Share Saving Scheme (the "Scheme"). The Scheme is a savings plan pursuant to
which DNO employees can set aside up to five percent of their gross annual
salary for conversion into synthetic shares that track the DNO share price on
the Oslo Stock Exchange.

The conversion of the saved amount into synthetic shares takes place at certain
regular intervals, normally subsequent to DNO announcing its quarterly interim
results. The conversion price is equal to the closing price of the DNO share
discounted for a two-year mandatory restriction period.

On 15 May 2013, the following primary insiders have been allocated synthetic
shares through the Scheme at a price of 7.5160 per synthetic share based on the
closing price on 14 May 2013:
