Norway equity markets.
A Norwegian block trade moves a large line of Oslo Børs-listed stock in a single negotiated transaction — off the order book, at an agreed price — so a holder can exit, or an acquirer build a position, without walking the screen. Black Haven can take the line onto its own book, giving the seller a clean, priced exit while the flagging that follows a substantial transfer is managed around the print.
As part of the Euronext federation, Oslo Børs handles size through off-order-book negotiated trades and the large-in-scale regime under MiFID II, reported to the exchange rather than worked across the lit book. How a block sits depends on the name: OBX blue chips in energy, shipping and seafood absorb size against deep daily turnover, while Euronext Growth Oslo lines move a market on far less. Any crossing of 5% or a higher flagging threshold triggers notification to the issuer and Oslo Børs under the Securities Trading Act; settlement runs T+2 through Euronext Securities Oslo.

What Is a Block Trade, and How Does One Work?
A block trade is the off-market sale of a large line of listed shares at a negotiated price, executed bilaterally and printed under exchange rules to avoid moving the open market.
Read → Block TradesHow Do You Sell a Large Block of Shares Without Moving the Price?
A large block is sold without moving the price by taking it off the open order book — negotiating off-market at an agreed price, often with a liquidity provider taking the risk, and printing under exchange block rules.
Read → DisclosureDo Block Trades Have to Be Disclosed?
Often yes. Once a significant shareholder crosses a market’s substantial-holding threshold, a block sale is generally notifiable to the regulator within a set window, with thresholds varying by jurisdiction.
