Major shareholder notification

Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by Argeo ASA ("Argeo" or the "Company") on 12 February 2025 regarding the successful private placement and allocation of 18,750,000 new shares (the "Offer Shares") in the Company at a subscription price of NOK 8 per Offer Share (the "Offer Price") (the "Private Placement").

In the Private Placement, Kistefos AS ("Kistefos"), a close associate ("PCA") of board member Lars Petter Ottem Utseth, has been allocated 3,756,663 Offer Shares for a price per share of NOK 8. The Offer Shares allocated are part of Tranche 2, being conditional on the approval by the EGM.

In addition, Kistefos has entered into a share lending agreement in connection with the Private Placement where Kistefos has agreed to lend up to 8,061,057 shares to Pareto Securities AS and SpareBank 1 Markets AS (the "Managers") in Tranche 1 and up to 6,118,337 shares in Tranche 2, to facilitate DVP settlement in the Private Placement. During the term of the share lending for Tranche 1, Kistefos' shareholding in the Company will be reduced to 840,000 shares (net of lent shares and excluding the new shares allocated in Tranche 2), representing 3.15% of the shares and votes in the Company (reflecting the issued, but not yet registered, Tranche 1 shares but excluding the Tranche 2 shares to be issued by the extraordinary general meeting). Consequently, Kistefos' shareholding in the Company resulting from the share lending has fallen below the 20%, 15%, 10% and 5% threshold pursuant to Section 4-2 (1) of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.

Further, Redback AS ("Redback"), a PCA of chairman Jan Pihl Grimnes, has entered into a share lending agreement, where Redback has agreed to lend up to 813,943 shares (of the total 1,358,903 shares held by Redback) to the Managers in Tranche 1, to facilitate DVP in the Private Placement.

Primary insider notification pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation Article 19 is attached.
