According to the newspaper had overseas listed shares purchased for 2.74 billion shrunk to 1.25 billion by the end of 2015.
– I have no comments on the financial statements. Things go up and down, says Mohn, and does not wish to comment on what he will use the proceeds to.
Book equity was still 6.1 billion at the end of the year, only marginally down from 6.4 billion the previous year. The reason is the newspaper said that investment in the rig company Songa in 2015 was recorded at historical cost at 1.7 billion. The year before, the value of Songa shares set at 648 million.
Songa share price has fallen by over 60 percent since January.
