Otello ASA (Oslo) announces that Bemobi Mobile Tech S.A. ("Bemobi Brasil"), the
parent company of Otello's activities in Brazil and internationally, has set a
price of R$22.00 per common share for its Initial Public Offering (IPO),
determined after completion of the bookbuilding process. Based on this price,
the gross proceeds of the primary component of the IPO, will reach R$
1,094,117,684 ($203,943,536), resulting in an equity value, post-money, of
Bemobi Brasil at IPO of R$2,000,000,024 ($372.800.004). The Brazilian Final
Prospectus related to the IPO will be filed today with the Brazilian Securities
Commission (CVM). The IPO consists of a base primary offering of 49,732,622
common shares issued by Bemobi Brasil. Otello (through its wholly owned
subsidiary Bemobi Holding AS) has granted an option to the Brazilian

additional common shares to cover over-allotments, if any, exercisable up to 30
days after the starting date of trading of Bemobi Brasil's common shares on the
São Paulo stock exchange ("Secondary Greenshoe"). If the Secondary Greenshoe is
exercised, Otello (through its wholly owned subsidiary Bemobi Holding AS) may
sell up to 6,388,478 common shares issued by Bemobi Brasil. The secondary
offering will only occur in case the overallotment offering is exercised by the
Brazilian underwriters. Bemobi Brasil's common shares are expected to begin
trading on February 10, 2021 on the São Paulo stock exchange under the ticker
symbol "BMOB3". The offering is expected to settle on February 11th, 2021,

Paulo stock exchange. With the completion of the IPO, if the Secondary Greenshoe
is fully exercised, Otello will hold approximately 30.98% of Bemobi Brasil. The
common shares of Bemobi Brasil held by Otello (through its wholly owned
subsidiary Bemobi Holding AS) will be subject to customary lock-up restrictions
pursuant market practices.
