TGS-NOPEC (OSL:TGS) Asker, 29. August, 2008. We refer to Wavefield's release posted yesterday on this matter. The arbitration hearing was originally scheduled to start 9 September 2008. By joint agreement between both parties a postponement of the start of the hearing was set to 16 September 2008 due to negotiations between the parties for an amicable completion of the merger. TGS remains prepared to start the hearing by 16 September as agreed.
