Initiating potential buy-back of own shares

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN ANY JURISDICTION IN

WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. PLEASE SEE IMPORTANT NOTICE

AT THE END OF THIS COMMUNICATION.

Reference is made to the authorization given by the extraordinary general

meeting of Otello Corporation ASA (the "Company") on 30 September 2021 for the

Company to buy back up to 12,474,950 shares in the Company.

The Company has engaged Pareto Securities AS (the "Manager") to explore a

potential buy-back of up to 11,200,000 shares in the Company (the "Offering"),

which, following the recently completed share capital reduction, equals up to

approx. 10% of the shares outstanding. The Company reserves the right, at its

own discretion, to buy back fewer shares or no shares at all in the Offering.

The Offering will be conducted at a fixed price of NOK 26.50 per share (the

"Offering Price"). All shareholders in the Company are invited to sell shares in

the Offering at the Offering Price. No selling commission will be charged to the

selling shareholders in the Offering.

The Company is, as previously communicated, committed to distribute all excess

cash in the Company to its shareholders over time. As part of this strategy the

board of directors of the Company has decided to carry out the Offering. The

Company will seek to cancel all shares bought back in the Offering as soon as

possible (reduction of the current share capital).

The Company currently has 112,299,727 shares outstanding which at the Offering

Price corresponds to a market capitalization of approx. NOK 2,975 million. Prior

to the Offering the Company holds no shares in the Company.

The application period commences at 09:00 hours (CET) on 1 December 2021 and is

expected to close at 16:30 hours (CET) on 7 December 2021 (the "Application

Period"). The Company reserves the right to extend the Application Period at its

own discretion. If the Application Period is extended the other dates referred

to herein may be amended accordingly. The notification of allocation is expected

to be made before 09:00 hours (CET) on 8 December 2021, the trade date is

expected to be on or about 8 December 2021 (T), and the settlement date is

expected to be on or about 10 December 2021 (T+2). The settlement will be

conducted on a normal delivery-versus-payment basis (DVP).

In the event that the total volume offered by selling shareholders in the

Offering exceeds 11,200,000 shares (or such reduced number of shares the Company

wishes to buy back in the Offering) the allocation of the Offering will, to the

extent possible, be made on a pro rata basis based on the volume offered by each

selling shareholder in the Offering with the objective of treating all

shareholders equally.

Shareholders in the Company wishing to participate in the Offering can contact

the Manager at +47 22 87 87 50. In order to validly participate in the Offering,

the acceptance form attached hereto must be completed in full and received by

the Manager before the end of the Application Period.

For further information, please contact: Petter Lade / CFO / +47 91143878 /
