The Company carried out a restructuring of the debt including a 1) equity raise finalized in August 2024 of NOK 47.0 million, consisting of a Private Placement of NOK 23.5 million towards Tjelta Eiendom AS and a NOK 23.5 million subsequent offering, towards all other eligible shareholders and 2) of the approx. EUR 12.3 million outstanding principal of the term loan facility with the company's lenders, an amount of NOK 60 million (approx. EUR 5.2 million) was converted to shares in the company at a conversion price of NOK 0.10 per share. The background for the new Private Placement is to finalize the ongoing turnaround activities, legal restructuring as basis for division of the business, improve sales and manufacturing capabilities for scaling and bridge to further sales and contracts, while executing the consolidation process in Flight Services, and ultimately secure a stable free cash-flow from Q2 2025. There are no assurances that the Company will generate a stable free cash-flow from Q2 2025, nor that the Company may require additional funding hence to realize the business plan if targets are not met or in order to pursue growth opportunities beyond the current business plan. Moreover, there are risks concerned with:
The Independent Auditor's Report for fiscal year 2023 highlights material uncertainty to going concern and certain internal control deficiencies which are being addressed in part through this equity raise.

Flight Services is in need of sufficient scale to compensate for seasonality and historical low activity in Q1 and Q4.
We are working actively to find strategic platform partners to become competitive and further transform the operation into more asset light business model. A consolidation may result in a merger or divestment of parts or all of the business segment.

The OEMs are in the start of their journey with TRL 9 ready for the defense and security market. The OEMs require increased volume and scale.
The ongoing turnaround is focusing on identifying and capitalizing on synergies between AirRobot and DroneMatrix, building a common technology and product roadmap, as well as digitalizing and improving inhouse manufacturing while tying up with partners for both sales, manufacturing and distribution in other NATO countries.

An investment in the Company, the Group, and the Shares involves inherent risk. Before making an investment decision, investors should carefully consider the risk factors, all information contained in this Presentation as well as all information announced by the Company, including its financial statements and related notes. An investment in the Shares is suitable only for investors who understand the risks associated with this type of investment and who can afford a loss of all or part of their investment. The absence of negative past experience associated with a given risk factor does not mean that the risks and uncertainties in the Presentation should not be considered prior to making an investment decision. If any of the following risks were to materialize, either individually, cumulatively or together with other circumstances, it could have a material adverse effect on the Group and/or its business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects, which may cause a decline in the value and trading price of the Shares.
The order in which any risk factors included herein is presented may not reflect the order of their materiality or comprehensibility, nor based on a probability of their occurrence. Furthermore, the risk factors presented herein are not exhaustive and other factors currently not known to the Company or which the Company currently does not deem to be material could also in the future have a material adverse effect on the Group.
The Group operates in the unmanned aerial vehicle ("UAV") and unmanned aerial systems ("UAS") industry and delivers tailor made remotely pilot aircraft system ("RPAS") systems. The Group offers highly specialized products and services to in a highly competitive market, with fluctuating demand for products and/or services. The Group's current business operations depend highly on continued business with its existing customer base and the utilization under frame agreements, while future development depends also on new customers and contracts. The flight services activities is currently particularly dependent on one single customer. The demand for UAV and UAS technologies is affected by a number of factors, including awareness of technologies, availability of competing or substitute products and/or services, commercial attractiveness, ease of adoption and use, features, experience, and technical and operational reliability of the UAV and UAS. Any inability to retain and develop the Group's customer base may result in a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/or prospects.
The Group may not be able to respond to rapid technological changes in a highly competitive market
The UAV and UAS technologies market is highly competitive and characterized by rapid technological changes and frequent new product and service introductions. The Group's future profitability depends heavily on its ability to enhance and improve its products and services. There can be no assurance that any attempts for enhancements or improvements to the Group's products or services will be compelling to customers or gain market acceptance in a timely and cost-effective manner. Any delays or competitors' introduction of competitive or substitute products, services and/or technologies could make the Group's products or services obsolete or adversely affect its business financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or prospects.
The Group is exposed to risk relating to non-performing strategic suppliers and reseller contracts and agreements, including delays due to OEMs
The Group's ability to serve its customers in a timely manner depends on the ability of the Group's strategic suppliers and resellers to perform their obligations and deliver their products and/or services in a timely manner and in accordance with contractual requirements. The Group continuously relies to a substantial extent on supplier and reseller contracts and agreements, especially withing the flight services segment where use of equipment from third party OEM's is dominant. Any delay in delivery of parts and materials by OEMs will entail a hindrance in the Group's ability to fulfil its contractual obligations. In addition, changes in pricing, incentives or other terms or non-performance of strategic suppliers and resellers, could materially adversely affect the Group's ability to perform and subject the Group to additional liabilities. Any non-performance by OEMs, suppliers or resellers, could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Risk relating to insurance coverage and insurance premiums
The Group has liability insurance coverage for its products and business operations. However, the Group may not be able to secure additional product liability insurance coverage on acceptable terms or at reasonable costs when needed. A successful liability claim against the Group due to injuries or damages suffered by customers could materially and adversely affect the Group's financial conditions, results of operations, cash flow, reputation and/or prospects. Even if unsuccessful, such a claim could cause the Group adverse publicity, require substantial costs to defend, and divert the time and attention of the Group's management.
Furthermore, any jurisdiction relevant to the Group's business may impose requirements for maintaining certain minimum liability or other insurance relating to the operation of UAVs and/or UAS. Such insurance policies could be costly, which would reduce the demand for the Group's products and services. Also, as a rapidly developing and emerging industry, the reliability and performance of UAS platforms may have direct impact on availability of certain insurance products that would be desirable to UAV operators or make these commercially unavailable, which would increase the risks of operating the Group's UAVs and also reduce the demand for them. Further, changes in market conditions may increase insurance premiums, which could adversely affect the Group's financial conditions, results of operations, cash flow and/or prospects.
As a technology group that delivers highly specialized UAV products and UAS, software and solutions, the Group and its customers are subject to cyber-attacks from cybercriminals. Rapid changes in attack vectors makes it difficult to stop attacks and adapt to new threats and the increased social hacking creates a cyber-threat risk for the Group. The Group must comply with severe contractual security obligations, including maintaining network and system security, providing security patching, antivirus and malware detection and prevention services and intrusion detection and prevention as well as ensuring the credentials of those employees who work with the Group's customers. Information technology security breaches could lead to shutdowns or disruptions of the Group's systems and potential unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or data, including personal data. The Group may be required to expend significant capital or other resources to protect against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. The theft or unauthorized use or publication of confidential information or other proprietary business information, or information which is privacy-related or pertains to third parties, or any compromise of security that results in an unauthorized release, transfer of use of personally identifiable information or other customer data as a result of an information technology security incident, could adversely affect the Group's competitive position and reputation, and reduce marketplace acceptance of the Group's products, services and solutions. If the Group is unable to protect its products and services from cyber-threats, this could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
The Group may operate in or have customers, resellers and suppliers in jurisdictions which are perceived as jurisdictions with a higher risk of corruption and bribery compared to Norway and other average Western countries. The Group maintains a zero tolerance policy towards corruption and bribery by any of its employees, suppliers and resellers and has well implemented and embedded anti-corruption policies. However, corrupt practices of third parties or anyone working for the Group, or allegations of such practices, may have a material adverse effect on the reputation, performance, financial condition, cash flow, prospects and/or results of the Group.
Risk relating to unmanned systems and services, flight control, communications and/or other advanced technologies
An accident involving an UAV or relating to an UAS provided by the Group or another manufacturer could cause regulatory agencies around the world to tighten restrictions on the use of UAVs, particularly over populated areas, and could cause the public to lose confidence in the Group's products, UAVs and/or UAS' generally. There are risks associated with unmanned systems and services, flight control, communications and/or other advanced technologies, and there may be accidents associated with these technologies, including crashes with or without personal injury. The safety of certain cutting-edge technologies depends in part on user interaction, and users may not be accustomed to using such technologies. The Group could face unfavorable and tightened regulatory control and intervention on the use of UAVs or UAS and other advanced technologies and be subject to liability and government scrutiny to the extent accidents associated with the Group's systems occur. Should a high-profile accident occur resulting in substantial casualty or damages, either involving the Group's UAVs or UAS or products offered by other companies, public and political confidence in and regulatory attitudes toward UAVs and/or UAS' could deteriorate. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect the Group's reputations, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow, and/or future prospects.

The Group may not be successful in competing in a competitive industry
The Group operations in UAV and UAS industry with delivery of tailor made RPAS is highly competitive. In addition to competing with other UAV companies, the Group competes with traditional industry players providing similar solutions. The Group's competitors may have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing and other resources than the Group and may be able to devote greater resources to the design, development, manufacturing, distribution, promotion, sale and support of their products. The Group expects competition in the industry to intensify in the future in light of increased demand for UAVs, continuing globalization and consolidation in the global UAV industry. Factors affecting competition include ability to innovate, development speed, product quality, reliability, safety and features, pricing and customer service. Increased competition may lead to lower UAV unit sales or UAS sales and increased inventory, which may result in downward price pressure and adversely affect the Group's business, financial condition, operating results, cash flow and/or prospects. The Group's ability to successfully compete in the industry will be fundamental to the Group's future success in existing and new markets and will affect the Group's market share. If the Group's competitors introduce UAVs or UAS that are superior in quality or performance and/or lower in price compared with the Group's offerings, the Group may lose existing customers or be unable to attract new customers at prices that would allow the Group to generate attractive rates of return on the Group's investments, if at all.
The Group depends on the availability of components and materials in a timely and cost-efficient manner and is therefore exposed to risk relating to the supply and developments on prices of components and materials. Certain electronic components to be integrated into the Groups products are used also by significantly larger industries resulting in extraordinary long lead times. Increased prices for, or global shortages of, components and materials could result in disrupted supply chains, delays, non-delivery under contracts or cancellation of contracts, and/or increased operating expenses or loss of revenue, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the Group's results from operations, cash flow, financial condition, growth opportunities and/or prospects.
Certification and licenses from civil aviation authorities and permits to fly
The Group depends on certifications and licenses from civil aviation authorities and permits to fly due to the strict requirements for companies in the UAV and UAS industry. In Norway, use of UAVs and RPAS is regulated by the Aviation act of 11 June 1993 No 101, Regulation for Civilian Aircraft A 7-1 and an associated Norwegian Regulation implementing EU Regulations (EU) 2019/947, (EU) 2020/639 and (EU) 2020/746 (except Article 19 of (EU) 2019/947).
Nordic Unmanned has obtained a Light UAS Operator Certificate (LUC #001) which certifies that Nordic Unmanned ASA is authorised to perform UAS operations, as defined in the received UAS operations specifications, in accordance with the approved LUC manual, with the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 2019/947 and with Annex IX to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 gives several privileges, including the right to authorise own operations, in respect of operating within EASA territory (Regulations EU 2019/947).
Applicable laws and regulations contain clear restrictions on how Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) should be carried out, with breaches being subject to criminal liability (fines or prison). The Group has obtained relevant certifications and licenses and permits to fly which are relevant in order to continue its operations. However, any loss of the Group's certification and licenses from civil aviation authorities or revoked permits to fly by relevant civil aviation authorities, could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

The Group is exposed to risk relating to global or local grounding of UAV by OEM or CAA
The Group's operations depends on its ability to sell its products and services. There is a risk that global or local authorities may be grounding all UAVs due to factors outside the Groups control, such as allegations of espionage and UAV-aided cyberattacks. Introduction of laws and regulations that would prevent clients from purchasing the Group's products and services could greatly impact the Group. Any global or local grounding of UAV, by OEMs or any civil aviation authority, will result in discontinuation in the Group's operations which in turn will have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
The Group is subject to laws and regulations in several jurisdictions, including governmental export and import controls
The Group operates in and is subject to laws and regulations in multiple jurisdictions around the world. The Group's products and services may be subject to governmental export and import controls that could impair the Group's ability to compete in international and/or national markets due to specific licensing requirements. Export control laws include restrictions or prohibitions on the sale or supply of certain products and services to embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments, persons and entities, and also requires authorization for the export of products, including within the defence industry. In addition, various countries regulate the import of certain products and services, including through import permitting and licensing requirements and have enacted or could enact laws that could limit the Group's ability to distribute its products and services or could limit the Group's operations in those countries. Any change in export or import laws and regulations could result in decreased use or prospects for the Group's products and services or decreased ability to export or sell products or services to existing and/or potential customers with international operations. For example, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, a number of new sanctions and export control measures have been implemented related to Russian and Belarusian governmental authorities, agencies, business and persons. The Group has, however, not been affected by these new measures, as it does not have a business relationship with any of these sanctioned persons or entities. Any withdrawal of export or import licenses or other decreased use of the Group's products and services, may have material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and/or prospects. Any failure to comply with applicable national and/or international laws and regulations could lead to costly litigations, penalties and other sanctions (including exclusion/disqualifications from future public procurement processes), and thus adversely affect the overall performance of the Group.
The Group is exposed to risk relating to data protection and data privacy regulations, licenses, etc.
The Group may receive, store and process personal information and other user data through its business , particularly related to its surveillance activities, and operations in multiple jurisdictions. This makes the Group exposed to data protection and data privacy laws and regulations it must comply with, which all impose stringent data protection requirements and provides high possible penalties for noncompliance, in particular relating to storing, sharing, use, processing, disclosure and protection of personal information and other user data. The main regulations are the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the "GDPR") and the Norwegian Data Protection Act of 15 June 2018 No. 38 with regard to transfer of certain personal data from/to the EU and from/to Norway. It is possible that these laws are interpreted or applied in a manner that is adverse to the Group or otherwise inconsistent with the Group's practices, which could result in litigation, potential legal liability or oblige the Group to change its practices in a manner adverse to its business. As a result, the Group's reputation may be harmed, substantial costs may incur and consumers, customers and/or revenues may be lost. Furthermore, any failure to comply with data protection and data privacy policies, privacy-related obligations to customers or third parties, privacy-related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in an unauthorized release, transfer or use of personally identifiable information or other customer data, may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation or public statements against the Group. Any such failure could cause customers and vendors to lose their trust in the Group. If third parties violate applicable laws or its policies, such violations may also put users of the Group's products at risk and could in turn have an adverse effect on the Group's business. Any significant change to applicable laws, regulations or industry practices regarding the collection, use, retention, security or disclosure of personal data, or regarding the manner in which the express or implied consent of users for the collection, use, retention or disclosure of such data is obtained, could increase the Group's costs and require the Group to modify its services and features, possibly in a material manner, which the Group may be unable to complete and may limit its ability to store and process user data or develop new services and features.
The Group is exposed to risks of claims and legal proceedings, including breach of contractual obligations, non-disclosure agreement and intellectual property disputes
The Group may be party to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business, including disputes relating to contractual obligations and non-disclosure agreements. The value of contracts, non-disclosure and intellectual property rights are of high importance for the Group, as it operates in a highly competitive commercial environment were the strength of the contracts and intellectual property rights may be an important feature that distinguish the Group from its competitors. It is therefore important for the Group to ensure the value and commercial use of its contracts and intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that third parties, such as suppliers or customers, have not or may not infringed contracts or intellectual property rights owned by the Group, who may have to challenge such parties' rights to continue to use or sell certain products or services and/or may seek damages from such parties'. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Group may not infringe or be alleged to have infringed intellectual property rights owned by third parties who may challenge the Group's right to continue to use or sell certain products, services and/or may seek damages from the Group. Any claims and legal proceeding made by or against the Group could be time‐consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product delays, divert its management from their regular responsibilities or require the Group to enter into settlements. These types of claims and proceedings may expose the Group to monetary damages, direct or indirect costs, direct or indirect financial loss, civil and criminal penalties, loss of licenses or authorizations or loss of reputation, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

The nature of the Group's UAV and UAS operations and national and international operations entails that the Group is exposed to the risk of allegations which, whether they are true or not, could damage the Group's trust, standing and reputation towards its shareholders, partners, new investors, suppliers, customers and/or other business relations. For example, negative publicity may ensue if the Group is accused of non-compliance with regulatory requirements, involvement in bribery, unsafe products etc. The Group's standing and reputation may also be negatively affected by the non-compliance of its suppliers, customers and resellers. Negative publicity or a bad reputation may also affect the Group's contacts with regulators, causing regulatory authorities to have a negative attitude towards the Group. If the Group's standing and reputation is harmed, then it could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
The Group relies on a variety of intellectual property rights, other proprietary information and trade secrets
The Group relies on a variety of intellectual property rights, other proprietary information and trade secrets, which are used in its operations and products. The Group companies may not be able to successfully preserve such intellectual property rights, proprietary information or trade secrets; and intellectual property rights could be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged. In addition, some jurisdictions in which the services and products of the Group may be sold may not adequately protect intellectual property rights. Failure to protect intellectual property rights or otherwise information or trade secrets used in the services and products used or owned by companies within the Group, could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, competitive position and/or prospects.
The Group may be subject to litigation regarding intellectual property rights
The Group may be a party to litigation to determine the scope and validity of its intellectual property, which, if resolved adversely to the Group, could invalidate or render unenforceable its intellectual property or generally preclude it from restraining competitors from commercializing products using technology developed by the Group. If the Group's products infringes others validly and enforceable patents, then it may not be able to sell applicable products or could be forced to pay substantial royalties or redesign a product to avoid infringement. A successful claim of infringement against the Group, or its failure or inability to develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed technology could materially adversely affect its business and results of operations, and/or prospects. Furthermore, litigation to establish or challenge the validity of patents, to defend against infringement, enforceability or invalidity claims or to assert infringement, invalidity or enforceability claims against others, if required, regardless of its merit or success, would likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management's time and attention, which could seriously harm the Group's business.
Changes in patent law could diminish the value of patents, thereby impairing the Group's ability to protect its products
Obtaining and enforcing patents involves technological and legal complexity, and is costly, time consuming, and inherently uncertain. Patent policy also continues to evolve, and the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability and commercial value of the Group's patent rights is highly uncertain. The Group holds several patents which are validated in several jurisdictions.
Filing, prosecuting, maintaining and defending patents on the Group's products throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and the extent of the Group's intellectual property rights may vary in different countries. Furthermore, in an emerging and rapidly delevoping industry it will be challenging to monitor if infringement of the Group's patented technology is taking place. Consequently, The Group may be unable to prevent third parties from using its inventions in all countries, or from selling or importing products made using the Group's inventions in the jurisdictions in which it does not have (or are unable to effectively enforce) patent protection. Competitors may use technologies in jurisdictions where the Group has not obtained patent protection to develop, market or otherwise commercialize products, and the Group may be unable to prevent those competitors from importing those infringing products into territories where the Group have patent protection. These products may compete with the Group's products and its patents and other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing in those jurisdictions. Moreover, competitors or others in the chain of commerce may raise legal challenges against the Group's intellectual property rights or may infringe upon the Group's intellectual property rights, including through means that may be difficult to prevent or detect. Furthermore, proceedings to enforce the Group's patent rights could result in substantial costs and divert the Group's efforts and attention from other aspects of its business, could put its patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and its patent applications at risk of not issuing, and could provoke third parties to assert patent infringement or other claims against the Group. The Group may not prevail in any lawsuits that the Group initiates and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, the Group's efforts to enforce its intellectual property rights may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that the Group develops or licenses from third parties.
Risk relating to the Group's working capital, liquidity reserves and cash
Because a significant part of the Group's business is conducted in currencies other than its functional reporting currency, EUR, and the Group has a large part of its revenues and costs in NOK and USD, the Group will be exposed to volatility associated with foreign currency exchange rates. Currency exchange rates risks may arise when Group companies enter into transactions that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. The Group itself is also invoiced in other currencies than its functional currency, thus resulting in currency exposure from both a customer and supplier position. Currency exposure is the result of purchases of goods and services in other currencies than the Group's functional currency (transaction exposure) and of the conversion of the balance sheets and income statements in currencies other than the functional currency into EUR (translation exposure). Such translation exposure does not give rise to an immediate cash effect. Additionally, changes in exchange rates can affect the Group's customers and suppliers, and for instance result in a reduction of customers' willingness to pay or increase suppliers' costs, and as such indirectly affect the Group's profitability. The Group does not use financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks, and there is no guarantee that the Group's financial results will not be adversely affected by currency exchange rate fluctuations or that any efforts by the Group to engage in currency hedging activities will be effective. Currency exchange rate fluctuations, thus, could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Group is exposed to risks relating to volatile, negative or uncertain economic or political conditions, including reduced EU/EEA and/or national governments' budgets
Global macroeconomic conditions affect the Group's customers' businesses, which may have a consequential effect on their spending and demand for the Group's products and/or services. Economic volatility and uncertainty is particularly challenging because many of the projects the Group undertakes for customers require major investment by them, which customers are less willing to make in uncertain economic conditions. Volatile, negative or uncertain economic conditions in the Group's customers' markets, may undermine business confidence and cause the Group's customers to reduce or defer their spending on new initiatives and technologies, or may result in customers reducing, delaying or eliminating spending relating to the Groups' products and services, or putting pressure on the Group's pricing. In addition, international, national or local political volatility may negatively impact the Group and its customers, including reduced EU/EEA budgets. Any of the abovementioned factors could negatively affect the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and/or prospects.
There may not be an active and liquid market for the Shares and the Share price could fluctuate significantly
An investment in the Shares is associated with a high degree of risk and the price of the Shares may not develop favorably. The share prices of companies admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo can be highly volatile and the trading volume and price of the Shares could fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, including the Group's financial situation. As mentioned in the risk factor "Risk relating to the Group's working capital, liquidity reserves and cash" above, there can be no assurance that the Company's contemplated Private Placement or other measures related to ongoing turnaround process will sufficiently improve the Group's financial situation. Should this risk materialize, investors will be at a high risk of losing the entirety of their investments, which will significantly impact the market value and price of the Shares. Furthermore, the price or trading volume of the Shares could be affected by, for example, changes in the Company's actual or projected results of operations or those of its competitors, changes in earnings projections or failure to meet investors' and analysts' earnings expectations, investors' evaluations of the success and effects of the Company's strategy, as well as the evaluation of the related risks, changes in general economic conditions or the equities markets generally, changes in the industries in which the Company operates, changes in shareholders and other factors. This volatility has had a significant impact on the market price of securities issued by many companies. Those changes may occur without regard to the operating performance of these companies. The price of the Shares may therefore fluctuate due to factors that have little or nothing to do with the Company, and such fluctuations may materially affect the price of the Shares.
Future issuances of Shares or other securities could dilute the holdings of shareholders and could materially affect the price of the Shares
The Company may in the future decide to offer and issue new Shares or other securities in order to finance new capital-intensive projects, in connection with unanticipated liabilities or expenses or for any other purposes. Depending on the structure of any future offering, certain existing shareholders may not have the ability to purchase additional equity securities. An issuance of additional equity securities or securities with rights to convert into equity could reduce the market price of the Shares and would dilute the economic and voting rights of the existing shareholders if made without granting subscription rights to existing shareholders. Accordingly, the Company's shareholders bear the risk of any future offerings reducing the market price of the Shares and/or diluting their shareholdings in the Company.
Investors could be unable to recover losses in civil proceedings in jurisdictions other than Norway
The Company is a public limited company organized under the laws of Norway. The majority of the members of the Board of Directors and management reside in Norway. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process in other jurisdictions upon such persons or the Company, to enforce against such persons or the Company judgments obtained in non-Norwegian courts, or to enforce judgments on such persons or the Company in other jurisdictions.
Beneficial owners of the Shares that are registered in a nominee account (such as through brokers, dealers or other third parties) could be unable to vote for such Shares unless their ownership is re-registered in their names with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS) prior to any general meeting of shareholders. There is no assurance that beneficial owners of the Shares will receive the notice of any general meeting of shareholders in time to instruct their nominees to either effect a re-registration of their Shares or otherwise vote for their Shares in the manner desired

by such beneficial owners.
Under Norwegian law, unless otherwise resolved at the Company's general meeting of shareholders, existing shareholders have pre-emptive rights to participate on the basis of their existing ownership of Shares in the issuance of any new Shares for cash consideration. Shareholders in the United States, however, could be unable to exercise any such rights to subscribe for new Shares unless a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act is in effect in respect of such rights and Shares or an exemption from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act is available. Shareholders in other jurisdictions outside Norway could be similarly affected if the rights and the new Shares being offered have not been registered with, or approved by, the relevant authorities in such jurisdiction. The Company is under no obligation to file a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act or seek similar approvals under the laws of any other jurisdiction outside Norway in respect of any such rights and Shares. Doing so in the future could be impractical and costly. To the extent that the Company's shareholders are not able to exercise their rights to subscribe for new Shares, their proportional interests in the Company will be diluted.
The Company is subject to the continuing obligations for companies admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo which may deviate from the regulations for securities trading on Oslo Børs and Euronext Expand, and which may imply a risk of a lower degree of transparency and minority protection
The Company is subject to the rules of the Securities Trading Act applicable to securities admitted to trading on a multilateral trading facility and the Oslo Børs' continuing obligations for companies admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo, and such obligations may differ from the obligations imposed on companies whose securities are listed on Oslo Børs or Euronext Expand. The Company is not subject to any takeover regulations meaning that an acquirer may purchase a stake in the Company's Shares exceeding the applicable thresholds for a mandatory offer for a company listed on Oslo Børs or Euronext Expand without triggering a mandatory offer for the remaining Shares. In accordance with Euronext Growth Rule Book Part I, section 4.3, and without prejudice to national regulations, the Company shall make public within five (5) trading days of becoming aware of any situation where a person, acting alone or in concert, reaches, exceeds or falls below a major holding threshold of fifty percent (50%) or ninety percent (90%) of the capital or voting rights. Furthermore, there is no other requirement to disclose large shareholdings in the Company (Nw: flaggeplikt). Primary insiders and their close associates are not obliged to announce transactions made by them immediately to the market, but only to the Company which then must make a disclosure to the market immediately and no later than within the third trading day. These deviations from the regulations applicable to securities trading on Oslo Børs or Euronext Expand may, alone or together, impose a risk to transparency and the protection of minority shareholders. An investment in the Shares is suitable only for investors who understand the risk factors associated with an investment in a Company admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo.
