Contemplated underwritten private placement

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART DIRECTLY OR

INDIRECTLY, IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, HONG KONG, SOUTH AFRICA OR THE UNITED

STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR

DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER

OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Bergen, 29 October 2025: M Vest Water AS ("M Vest Water" or the "Company") has

decided to effect a private placement (the "Private Placement") of new shares

in the Company (the "Offer Shares") to raise gross proceeds of approximately

NOK 8 million (which amount may be increased at the sole discretion of the

Board if desirable to meet investor interest or otherwise) (the "Offer Size").

The subscription price per Offer Share is NOK 8 (the "Offer Price"), which

implies a premium to the 30 trading day VWAP for the shares in the Company,

which (unless the amount of the Private Placement is increased by the Board)

will result in 1,000,000 Offer Shares being issued within the Offer Size. The

Private Placement will, pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement (as defined

below), be underwritten by M Vest Invest AS and Haugland Gruppen AS (the

"Underwriters") up to a total underwriting obligation of NOK 8 million (the

"Total Underwriting Obligation"). The final number of Offer Shares issued in

the Private Placement will be determined by the Company's board of directors

(the "Board"). In combination with the Private Placement, the Company has

agreed with two of its shareholders to convert their outstanding shareholder

loan amounting to NOK 12 million plus interest of NOK 622,688 to new shares in

the Company, at a price per new share equal to the Offer Price (the

"Conversion").

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be employed as working

capital in the Company and will be used to finance the Company's ongoing

projects and tender activities. The proceeds are expected to provide adequate

funding for the Company's current ongoing projects and tenders. As earlier

released in the Q2 earnings call the Company experiences high activity and

demand for its NORWAFLOC® products across all the Company's segments and the

net proceeds will be employed to meet this demand in working capital.

The Company's business segment Aquaculture is profitable due to increased

sales, and we expect the positive trend in recurring revenues from this

segment to continue into the following periods. The Company's dredging

operations in Germany is developing according to plan and we have a strong and

growing tender portfolio in both dredging and oil & gas in the Middle East,

which represents significant growth opportunities for the Company's NORWAFLOC®

and NORWAPOL® products.

The Private Placement will be directed towards selected domestic investors, in

each case subject to and in compliance with applicable exemptions from

relevant prospectus, filing and other registration requirements.

Pre-commitment and underwriting

Pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting

agreement between the Company and the Underwriters (the "Underwriting

Agreement"), the Underwriters have undertaken on a pro-rata basis (not

jointly) to underwrite an aggregate subscription amount in the Private

Placement up to the Total Underwriting Obligation). The Underwriters will not

be entitled to any underwriting fee. Each Underwriter has undertaken to take

all and any step required to give effect to the Conversion.

The application period for the Private Placement commences today, 29 October

2025, at 16:30 CET and closes on 30 October 2025 at 08:00 CET (the

"Application Period"). The Company reserves the right to shorten, close or

extend the Application Period at any time and for any reason on short, or

without notice. If the Application Period is shortened or extended, the other

dates referred to herein may be changed accordingly.

The minimum order size and allocation in the Private Placement will be the NOK

equivalent of EUR 100,000, provided that the Company may, at its sole

discretion, allocate Offer Shares for an amount below the NOK equivalent of

EUR 100,000 to the extent applicable exemptions from the prospectus

requirements pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and ancillary

regulations (including Regulation (EU) 2017/1129) are available. Further

selling restrictions and transaction terms will apply. The Private Placement

is, for the avoidance of doubt, solely directed towards investors subject to,

and in compliance with, applicable exemptions from relevant prospectus or

registration requirements.

Allocation and settlement

Allocation of Offer Shares will be made at the sole discretion of the Board

after expiry of the Application Period (subject to any shortening or

extension), focusing on criteria such as (but not limited to) pre-commitments,

existing ownership in the Company, timeliness of the application, relative

order size, sector knowledge, perceived investor quality and investment

horizon. Notifications of allocations are expected to be distributed to

applicants on or about 30 October 2025.

The Offer Shares will be issued pursuant to the authorization granted to the

Board by the Company's annual general meeting on 27 March 2025 (the "Board

Authorization").

Settlement of the Offer Shares is expected to take place on 4 November 2025.

The Offer Shares will be delivered to applicants and will be tradable on

Euronext Growth Oslo as soon as possible after the share capital increase

related to the Private Placement has been registered with the Norwegian

Register of Business Enterprises and the Offer Shares have been issued in

Euronext Securities Oslo ("VPS").

Completion of the Private Placement is subject to a resolution by the Board to

consummate the Private Placement, including to allocate the Offer Shares and

issue the Offer Shares pursuant to the Board Authorization. The Company,

reserves the right, at any time and for any reason, to cancel, and/or modify

the terms of, the Private Placement prior to notification of allocation of

Offer Shares. Neither the Company or any of their respective directors,

officers, employees, representatives or advisors, will be liable for any

losses if the Private Placement is cancelled and/or modified, irrespective of

the reason for such cancellation of modification.

Equal treatment considerations

The Private Placement and the Conversion represents a deviation from the

shareholders' pre-emptive right to subscribe for the Offer Shares. The Board

has considered the Private Placement in light of the equal treatment

obligations under the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act, the Norwegian

Securities Trading Act, the rules on equal treatment under Oslo Rule Book II

for companies listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, and guidelines on the rule of

equal treatment from Oslo Stock Exchange and the Financial Supervisory

Authority of Norway, at the latest the thematic review published on 19

December 2023, and deems that the proposed Private Placement is in compliance

with these obligations. The Board is of the view that it will be in the common

interest of the Company and its shareholders to raise equity through a private

placement, in particularly considering that the Company has been able to raise

equity at a subscription price which exceeds the recent traded price, at a

lower cost and with a significantly reduced completion risk compared to a

rights issue.
