Bergen, March 2023

Dear Hammertech Investor,

Invitation to participate in share capital increase in Hammertech AS to capture the opportunity represented by Hammertech's unique competitive advantages combined with strong supportive market drivers

Hammertech AS is in the commercial phase and has secured sale of 11 Aquafield units, of which 9 units in 2023. Hammertech is in process with 70 oil & gas operators to secure both short and long term new orders.

Hammertech has developed a disruptive technology for detecting the flowrate of oil, water and gas from a producing well, a multiphase meter called AquaField. The product has significant competitive advantages such as low cost, light weight, small size, and it is maintenance free. AquaField is the first available "plug-and-play" and maintenance free multiphase meter, making it ideal for retrofit rollout on large land-based oilfields with thousands of wells, opening a largely unserved market of up to USD 10 billion.

The activity level in the industry is now increasing after a post pandemic slowdown focusing on increasing recovery from existing assets with lower environmental impact, the latter becoming an increasingly important market driver. Well-testing represents huge Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions from onshore oil field operations that can be eliminated by a field-wise AquaField implementation.

The effect of an AquaField rollout on the well-level is reduced unwanted water production, increased oil production, reduced production cost, reduced energy consumption, reduced environmental impact and improved health and safety. The online and real-time data from AquaField is essential to enable proactive reservoir management that will increase production and improve the recovery rate from the reservoir.

This is driving the demand for AquaField. Hammertech is currently engaged in active sales processes with more than 30 operating companies in the core markets that will materialize in strategic deliveries in 2023 that serves as the basis for a strong growth in the coming years.

Recent achievements:

    1. Hammertech has received a Purchase Order (PO) from ADNOC (Abu Dhabi National Oil Company) for 2 AquaField units with delivery in June 2023.
    1. Hammertech has received PO from Oil India for 3 units of AquaField. Delivery will be in June 2023.
    1. Hammertech has received a PO for 1 unit of AquaField from Egyptian operator Norpetco and for 1 unit to Dragon Oil in Turkmenistan. Units have already been delivered.
    1. AquaField has been pre-qualified by for Saudi Aramco through a blind-test of AquaField at the DNV-test facility in Groningen with remarkable results. Remaining activities in this qualification process is a field verification test of AquaField and a QA-audit from Aramco.

The company has recruited Kaare Lunde with a proven track record from winning and driving growth in the global oil & gas market to lead this next phase for the company. Kaare will together with Sigmund Hjermann and the rest of the team execute the strategy to secure the company growth.

To strengthen the financing of Hammertech, the BoD has decided to invite existing and new investors to participate in a preference share issue offering of NOK 42 million. These preference shares will have priority before all other shares. The new funding will enable Hammertech to implement the new market strategy decided by the BoD of Hammertech to be implemented in 2023.

Hammertech is now prepared to strengthen the presence in the core markets in the Middle east and in north America by establishing local offices. The purpose is to achieve closer relations to the customers and to have direct and focused follow-up of the customers to reduce the lead time of contracts. Hammertech will staff these offices with both Hammertech employees from Norway and local employees.

Hammertech is expecting strategic POs from Al Mansoori and TOTAL Qatar for AquaField in the coming weeks. ExxonMobil's shale production subsidiary (XTO Energy) in the United States is planning a field installation in the Permian basin in Texas. Recently an initiative for reducing GHG emissions in ExxonMobil operations has focused on using multiphase meters as an important element in this initiative. Hammertech is very well positioned to contribute to this initiative.

Hammertech is also engaged in prequalification processes with KOC (Kuwait Oil Company) and PDO (Petroleum Development Oman) in addition to mentioned ADNOC and Saudi Aramco. These four operating companies represent a market potential of more than USD 800 million. Worldwide, the market is estimated by Rystad Energy at USD 10 billion.

Hammertech AS, Nesttunbrekka 97, 5112 Nesttun, Norway

Hammertech has developed a proposal to Shell Brazil for developing a subsea version of AquaField. The development will be fully financed by Shell Brazil as part of Shell's obligation for developing local content in Brazil. The Hammertech development is part of a larger local development project delivered by Brazilian partner ISDB FlowTech, and Hammertech will be a sub-supplier to ISDB FlowTech. The budget for the Hammertech development will be approx. NOK 25 million. Target start-up of the project is Q2-2023.
