(A private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Norway)
This information document (the "Information Document") has been prepared by Ace Digital AS, a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Norway with business registration number 924 665 297 (the "Company" or "Ace", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") solely for use in connection with the admission to trading (the "Admission") of all issued shares of the Company on Euronext Growth Oslo.
As of the date of this Information Document, the Company's registered share capital is NOK 125,845.00, divided into 125,845,000 shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.001 (the "Shares").
The Shares have been approved for Admission on the Euronext Growth Oslo, and it is expected that the Shares will start trading on or about 30 September 2025 under the ticker code "ACED". The Shares are, and will continue to be, registered in the Norwegian Central Securities Registry (the "VPS") in book-entry form. All of the issued Shares rank pari passu with one another and each Share carries one vote.
Euronext Growth Oslo is a market operated by Euronext. Companies on Euronext Growth Oslo, a multilateral trading facility (MTF), are not subject to the same rules as companies on a Regulated Market (a main market). Instead, they are subject to a less extensive set of rules and regulations adjusted to small growth companies. The risk in investing in a company on Euronext Growth Oslo may therefore be higher than investing in a company on a Regulated Market. Investors should take this into account when making investment decisions.
This Information Document does not constitute a prospectus within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71. The present Information Document has been drawn up under the responsibility of the Issuer. It has been reviewed by the Euronext Growth Advisor and Euronext Oslo Børs.
Investing in the Company involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should read the entire document and, in particular, Section 1 ("Risk Factors") and Section 3.3 ("Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements") when considering an investment in the Company and its Shares.

Investing in the Company's Shares involves risks. Please refer to Section 1 ("Risk factors").
The Company is a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Norway. As a result, the rights of holders of the Shares will be governed by Norwegian law and the Company's articles of association (the "Articles of Association"). The rights of shareholders under Norwegian law may differ from the rights of shareholders of companies incorporated in other jurisdictions.
The members of the Company's board of directors (the "Board Members" and the "Board of Directors", respectively) and the members of the Company's senior management (the "Management") are not residents of the United States of America (the "United States"), and a substantial portion of the Company's assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be very difficult for investors in the United States to effect service of process on the Company, the Board Members and members of Management in the United States or to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts against the Company or those persons, whether predicated upon civil liability provisions of federal securities laws or other laws of the United States (including any State or territory within the United States).
Uncertainty exists as to whether courts in Norway will enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions, including the United States, against the Company or its Board Members or members of Management under the securities laws of those jurisdictions or entertain actions in Norway against the Company or its Board Members or members of Management under the securities laws of other jurisdictions. In addition, awards of punitive damages in actions brought in the United States or elsewhere may not be enforceable in Norway. The United States does not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgements (other than arbitral awards) in civil and commercial matters with Norway.
Similar restrictions may apply in other jurisdictions.

Investing in the Shares involves inherent risks. Before making an investment decision, investors should carefully consider the risk factors and all information contained in this Information Document, including the Financial Statements (as defined in Section 3.2) and related notes. The risks and uncertainties described in this Section 1 ("Risk factors") are the principal known risks and uncertainties faced by the Company as of the date hereof that the Company believes are the material risks relevant to an investment in the Shares. An investment in the Shares is suitable only for investors who understand the risks associated with this type of investment and who can afford a loss of all or part of their investment. The absence of a negative past experience associated with a given risk factor does not mean that the risks and uncertainties described herein should not be considered prior to making an investment decision.
If any of the risks were to materialise, individually or together with other circumstances, it could have a material and adverse effect on the Company and/or its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and/or prospects, which may cause a decline in the value of the Shares that could result in a loss of all or part of any investment in the Shares. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks the Company may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company currently believe are immaterial, or that are currently not known to the Company, may also have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
The Risk Factors are sorted into a limited number of categories, where the Company has sought to place each individual risk factor in the most appropriate category based on the nature of the risk it represents. The risks that are assumed to be of the greatest significance are described first. This does not mean that the remaining risk factors are ranked in order of their materiality or comprehensibility, and the fact that a risk factor is not mentioned first in its category does not in any way suggest that the risk factor is less important when taking an informed investment decision. Additional risks not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial, may also impair the Company's business operations and adversely affect the price of the Shares. The risks mentioned herein could materialise individually or cumulatively.
The information in this Section 1 ("Risk factors") is as of the date of this Information Document.
The Group's business model involves various Bitcoin-related services, including (but not limited to) holding Bitcoin as part of its treasury strategy and offering ancillary Bitcoin services. Bitcoin is a highly volatile digital asset, with price movements influenced by market sentiment, regulatory changes, macroeconomic factors, and technological developments. As of 31 December 2024, the Company's Bitcoin exposure - held directly - represented approximately 52% of its total assets. This significant concentration in a single digital asset creates substantial concentration risk, as the Group's financial performance is heavily dependent on Bitcoin's price performance.
A substantial decline in Bitcoin's value or in the broader digital asset market could negatively affect the Group's financial position, liquidity, and ability to invest in operations or other strategic opportunities. The Group's concentrated exposure to Bitcoin means that adverse price movements could have a disproportionately large impact on the Group's overall financial condition compared to a more diversified asset portfolio. Although the Group may use derivatives (such as options) to mitigate downside risk, these hedging arrangements introduce additional considerations including counterparty risk, higher costs, and the potential for imperfect hedge performance. Consequently, volatility in Bitcoin prices could materially adversely impact the Group's financial results, liquidity, and share value.
The Company aims to establish itself as a leading holding company in the Bitcoin ecosystem by seeking strategic investments in, and long-term active ownership of, businesses related to Bitcoin. The Company has recently established two wholly owned subsidiaries, Ace Advise AS and Ace Invester AS, in which the Company's dedicated team will utilise its extensive experience within the Bitcoin ecosystem to exercise strategic and active ownership over its investments. The Company's strategy is to act as a holding company with long-term active ownership in companies operating within the Bitcoin ecosystem, by both establishing new companies itself and by acquiring shares in relevant companies.
In addition to the above, the strategy includes accumulating Bitcoin as a treasury asset, developing niche financial and advisory products, and exploring opportunities in Bitcoin mining. These activities expose the Group to risks inherent in the Bitcoin ecosystem, such as price volatility, regulatory shifts, technological innovations, and competitive pressures.
As a holding company, the Company depends on the performance of its subsidiaries and strategic investments to generate value. Given that the business model is in an early stage, there can be no assurance that the Group will effectively implement its strategy, develop competitive products, or achieve the anticipated returns from its Bitcoin holdings or investments. Competitors in the Bitcoin and broader cryptocurrency markets may surpass the Group in product development, client acquisition, or strategic execution. Failure to execute the strategy successfully could materially and adversely affect the Group's operations, financial condition, results, cash flow, and/or prospects.
The Company is committed to ensuring the security and integrity of its Bitcoin holdings by leveraging storage solutions that align with adequate industry standards for solvency and transparency, as verified by third parties the Company deems reputable. Despite features like cryptographic security, multiple independent approvals, time delays, and comprehensive insurance, these solutions are not immune to risks. Sophisticated cyber-attacks, such as advanced persistent threats ("APTs"), ransomware, or insider threats, could compromise the Group's Bitcoin holdings. A security breach at a third-party provider or within the Group's custody infrastructure could result in the loss of Bitcoin, which can be irreversible due to the pseudonymous nature of cryptocurrency transactions.
Additionally, technical failures, operational errors, or insolvency of custody providers could limit the Group's access to its Bitcoin assets. The Company may consider obtaining insurance coverage in the future. However, such coverage may not fully cover losses from large-scale breaches or novel threats, potentially leading to significant financial losses and reputational damage.
The Group is exposed to risks associated with the deposit and withdrawal of fiat currency on cryptocurrency trading platforms. Policies or interruptions affecting these transactions can significantly impact the ability of investors to convert digital assets into fiat currency.
The Company is engaged in transactions involving the transfer of Bitcoin between different platforms, wallets and custodians. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible by nature, and if Bitcoins are lost, stolen or transferred in error, there is no recourse for recovery. This risk is inherent in the Bitcoin network and is further compounded by potential technical errors, cyberattacks, or fraudulent activities.
Transfers of Bitcoin typically involve multiple steps, including the use of private keys, wallet addresses and third-party platforms. Any failure, misuse or breach of these processes may result in the partial or total loss of the Company's Bitcoin holdings. Additionally, delays or disruptions in blockchain confirmations, congestion on the Bitcoin network or technical malfunctions in external platforms may adversely affect the timing and execution of the Company's transactions.
Although the Company seeks to mitigate such risks through the use of multi-signature approvals, cryptographic safeguards, segregated storage solutions and cooperation with reputable service providers, these measures cannot fully eliminate the possibility of operational errors, external attacks or unforeseen events. Consequently, any failure or disruption in Bitcoin transfers may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and reputation.
The Group's lean organizational structure and specialized focus on the Bitcoin ecosystem render it highly dependent on its Management, Board of Directors, and Advisory Board, who collectively possess deep expertise in Bitcoin, capital markets, and cryptocurrency technologies. The Group's ability to scale operations and execute its growth strategy hinges on retaining existing key personnel and successfully recruiting additional qualified talent. Even with full retention of current staff, significant team expansion is required to achieve strategic objectives.
The Group's current profitability strategy is particularly reliant on CEO Alexander Hagen's specialized expertise in options trading. Generating returns from options trading demands a sophisticated understanding of derivatives markets, advanced technical analysis, risk management, and precise market timing. While Alexander Hagen's experience includes Bitcoin options, it is grounded in a broader, general proficiency in options markets applicable across various asset classes, not exclusively cryptocurrencies. However, the success of the Group's Bitcoin options strategy remains closely tied to Hagen's individual market expertise and prevailing market conditions, as Bitcoin options markets are characterized by high volatility, limited liquidity, and rapid price movements that necessitate continuous monitoring and sophisticated trading decisions.
The potential loss of Alexander Hagen's expertise could materially impair the Group's ability to execute its current trading strategy effectively and sustain profitability, given the current concentration of this critical capability in a single individual. To mitigate this operational risk, the Company is implementing internal backup plans, including comprehensive training programs to transfer Hagen's expertise to existing team members. Additionally, the Company is actively recruiting new talent with proven options trading experience to enhance redundancy and diversify its skill base. These efforts aim to build a robust team capable of sustaining the Group's trading strategy independently of any single individual. The Company's general expertise in options trading, not limited to cryptocurrencies, further supports its ability to adapt to various market conditions and reduce reliance on specialized crypto knowledge.
More broadly, the Group depends on maintaining a highly qualified team and is therefore reliant on retaining key personnel while attracting new talent. There is no assurance that the Group will successfully recruit the required personnel in the future, particularly amid ongoing shortages and intensifying competition for management personnel and Bitcoin experts with relevant experience in blockchain technology. This competition has escalated due to the growing adoption of cryptocurrency and blockchain in recent years. Any failure to retain or attract such personnel could hinder the Group's ability to implement its business plan, potentially resulting in a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and/or prospects.
The loss of one or more key employees or Management team members could similarly have a material adverse effect on the Group's operations and prospects. Key personnel are likely to receive competing employment offers and may be attractive to competitors or inclined to establish rival businesses. As the Group's employees are not bound by restrictive covenants such as non-compete or non-solicitation clauses in their employment agreements, competitors may successfully recruit key individuals, including Management personnel. Replacing such personnel on a timely basis, on competitive terms, or at all could prove challenging. Furthermore, the absence of restrictive covenants increases the risk that key personnel could establish competing businesses.
These measures, combined with the Company's commitment to provide monthly market updates and publish Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) on its website (as outlined in Section 1.1.12), will enhance transparency and investor confidence in the Group's operational resilience. Nevertheless, until these mitigation strategies are fully implemented, the dependence on key personnel remains a significant risk that could impact the Group's performance and market perception.
The Group relies on undisclosed third-party providers for the custody and storage of Bitcoin held on its balance sheet. This arrangement exposes the Group to several material risks that could adversely impact its operations and financial position. The third party maintains control of the private keys necessary to access and transfer the Group's Bitcoin holdings, creating dependency on the provider's operational integrity, security protocols, and continued solvency.
Of particular concern is the elevated risk of sophisticated cyber-attacks targeting cryptocurrency custodians. The Group's Bitcoin assets may be vulnerable to an array of evolving cyber threats, including but not limited to advanced persistent threats (APTs), distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, social engineering, ransomware, and zero-day exploits specifically designed to compromise cryptocurrency storage systems. The undisclosed nature of the custody relationship creates additional risk layers, as the Group may have limited visibility into security breaches until after they have occurred, potentially delaying response times and exacerbating losses.
Furthermore, cyber attackers increasingly target the supply chain and third-party vendors as entry points to access valuable digital assets. The Group's indirect exposure through its custody provider extends to the provider's entire technology ecosystem, including any potential security vulnerabilities in their infrastructure, cold storage procedures, key management systems, and employee access controls. A successful breach of the third-party custodian could result in immediate, irreversible loss of substantial Bitcoin assets, with cryptocurrency's pseudonymous nature making recovery of stolen funds particularly challenging.
In the event of the custodial service provider's insolvency, technical failure, security breach, regulatory non-compliance, or cessation of operations, the Group may face significant challenges in accessing or recovering its Bitcoin assets. The undisclosed nature of this relationship may also create additional complications should legal intervention become necessary, potentially resulting in delayed recovery processes or permanent loss of digital assets.
Moreover, the Group has limited visibility into and control over the specific security measures, internal controls, and operational practices employed by the third-party custodian. This increases the Group's exposure to potential mismanagement, unauthorised transfers, or theft of its Bitcoin. Should such events occur, the Group could suffer substantial financial losses that may not be fully recoverable through insurance or legal remedies.
The custodial arrangement may also create regulatory compliance risks, as evolving regulations regarding cryptocurrency custody could affect the third party's operations and, consequently, the Group's ability to maintain appropriate custody of its Bitcoin in compliance with applicable laws. Changes in regulatory requirements might necessitate a transition to alternative custody arrangements, potentially causing operational disruptions and additional expenses.
While the Group has a conscious approach to such relevant risk factors when selecting its custodian service providers, the rapidly evolving nature of the cryptocurrency industry, the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, and limitations on comprehensive risk assessment of undisclosed third parties present inherent uncertainties that may materially affect the Group's financial condition, operations, and ability to effectively manage its Bitcoin assets.
The Company's success depends to a significant extent on the skills, experience and industry knowledge of its key employees. Currently, the employment agreements with key employees do not contain restrictive covenants such as non-compete or non-solicitation clauses. As a result, there is a risk that one or more of the Company's key employees may leave the Company and join or establish competing businesses, or solicit the Company's clients, employees or other stakeholders.
Such developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position and prospects, particularly if departing employees bring with them knowledge, experience, or relationships critical to the Company's operations. While the Company seeks to maintain competitive compensation and incentive arrangements to retain talent, there can be no assurance that key employees will remain with the Company.
The Company may be exposed to fraudulent activities, such as misappropriation of assets or financial manipulation by employees or Management—or external, including fraud by third parties or cybercrime. There is also risk related to Management override of controls. Despite internal controls and audits there is no guarantee that all incidents will be detected or prevented, as such schemes can be complex, concealed, or carried out by individuals with authority or expertise. Any material fraud or misconduct could harm the Company's financial position, operations, and reputation, reduce investor confidence, trigger regulatory scrutiny or legal liabilities, and negatively affect its growth strategy and market access.
The Group does not carry any insurance coverage for its Bitcoin holdings and operations but may consider obtaining such insurance coverage in the future. The Group is exposed to risks associated with the rapidly evolving nature of the cryptocurrency industry and increasing sophistication of cyber threats. Further, the Group does not carry general liability or business interruption insurance, which could expose it to significant losses from unforeseen events, such as large-scale cyberattacks or operational disruptions. Insufficient insurance could materially adversely affect the Group's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow.
The Bitcoin ecosystem is highly competitive and fragmented, with rapid technological and regulatory changes. The Group faces competition from established financial institutions, specialized cryptocurrency firms, and emerging players offering Bitcoin-related advisory services, investment products, or mining operations. Competitors may introduce innovative products, secure larger market shares, or benefit from greater resources, potentially limiting the Group's growth.
The Group's lean organizational structure may constrain its ability to scale quickly or respond to competitive pressures. Failure to maintain a competitive position could adversely affect the Group's results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition.
The Company operates Ace Invester AS, a venture capital arm that will invest in startups and early-stage established companies within the Bitcoin ecosystem, including Bitcoin infrastructure, financial innovation, blockchain technology, and emerging ventures. Investments in early-stage Bitcoin-related companies carry significant risk, including high failure rates where many investments may result in partial or total loss of capital. The Bitcoin ecosystem remains in an early stage and is subject to rapid technological and regulatory changes that may render business models obsolete. Investments in private companies typically have limited liquidity, making it difficult to exit positions when necessary. Early-stage companies often lack established revenue streams or comparable market transactions, making accurate valuation difficult. The focus on Bitcoin-related ventures creates sector concentration that may amplify losses under adverse market conditions. The success of Ace Invester AS's portfolio companies is closely tied to the overall development and adoption of Bitcoin technology. Regulatory restrictions, technological setbacks, or reduced market interest in Bitcoin may affect multiple portfolio investments simultaneously, potentially resulting in material losses for the Group.
The Group's business model, encompassing Bitcoin holdings, derivatives, and early-stage investments, presents significant accounting and reporting complexities that may impact investor perceptions. Bitcoin is accounted for as inventory, measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value rather than fair value. This treatment may lead to discrepancies between the Group's reported financial performance and its actual economic value, particularly during periods of significant Bitcoin price volatility. Derivative instruments, subject to complex fair value accounting, can introduce earnings volatility, even when supported by effective hedging strategies.
To enhance transparency, the Company plans to provide monthly market updates and publish Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) on its website, covering its Bitcoin treasury strategy, derivative positions, and related changes. These updates aim to equip investors with robust tools to assess operational performance and strategic progress.
The Company leverages its extensive expertise in portfolio risk reporting to ensure accurate and comprehensive disclosures. However, timing lags between Bitcoin price movements and their reflection in financial statements may result in periods where reported results do not fully align with the Company's current financial position.
These accounting and reporting complexities could contribute to investor misunderstandings of the Group's actual performance, potentially affecting share price and market perception independently of underlying business success.
The Company's activities may be subject to potential environmental risks, both direct and indirect, which may adversely affect its operations, financial position, and reputation. Although the Company does not currently operate physical Bitcoin mining facilities and therefore has no direct control over the energy consumption or environmental footprint of the Bitcoin network, its business model - holding Bitcoin as treasury assets and providing consultancy within the Bitcoin ecosystem - may be exposed to reputational and regulatory risks arising from the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining. Public concern over the carbon footprint and energy usage associated with proof-of-work consensus mechanisms could lead to increased scrutiny, negative media attention, and adverse public perception of businesses linked to Bitcoin.
Changes in environmental regulations, taxation, or sustainability reporting requirements - particularly within the European Economic Area - may impose additional compliance obligations, costs, or restrictions on the Company. Any of the risks mentioned in this paragraph may also increase in importance should the Group in the future choose to engage in any business related to crypto mining, which would result in a more direct energy consumption and associated carbon emissions.
While the Company supports sustainable practices and may adopt measures to align with applicable ESG expectations, it cannot fully mitigate the reputational or financial risks associated with environmental concerns over Bitcoin or broader regulatory developments. Failure to anticipate or comply with environmental standards could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, or access to capital.
Part of the Group's financial performance and growth prospects depend on its ability to attract new customers for its Bitcoin advisory services. Client demand for Bitcoin advisory services may vary with the Bitcoin market conditions, regulatory developments, and overall sentiment toward digital assets. The Group faces competition from both established financial institutions and specialised consultancies entering the Bitcoin advisory space, potentially affecting pricing structures or requiring expanded service offerings to remain competitive. Additionally, the Group's reputation for expertise and reliability is important for client retention, while the limited availability of qualified Bitcoin advisors creates staffing considerations that could influence service quality.
If the Group experiences challenges in attracting and retaining advisory clients, it could affect parts of its revenue, growth trajectory, and overall financial performance. The Group's business model and financial projections incorporate certain client acquisition and retention assumptions that may differ from actual results under changing market conditions or competitive pressures.
The Group's success is intrinsically linked to the broader reputation of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Industry-wide incidents such as security breaches, regulatory violations, insolvencies, or fraudulent activities—whether committed by the Group or its competitors—may foster negative public perception regarding the security, reliability, and user-friendliness of Bitcoin technologies. Such erosion of market confidence could materially damage the Group's reputation, diminish its market share, and reduce adoption of Bitcoin in commercial and consumer transactions. The resulting contraction in the Group's customer base could adversely affect its financial performance and growth prospects.
While the Group is committed to conducting business in a legal and ethical manner, there is a risk that its employees or agents or those affiliated may take actions that violate the law and could result in monetary penalties against the Group or its respective affiliates, or is engaged in conduct that falls short of ethical standards or is otherwise inappropriate and could damage the reputation of the Group and its business relationships. Impairment of the Group's reputation and business relationships may significantly hinder its ability to maintain existing business partnerships, develop new commercial opportunities, and execute its strategic objectives. The potential adverse effects of such damage to the Group's standing in the marketplace could be substantial and may exceed the immediate financial penalties imposed.
This Information Document includes forward-looking statements, such as estimates, targets, and forecasts, based on assumptions about Bitcoin price trends, market conditions, regulatory developments, and the Group's ability to execute its strategy. Such information is based on various assumptions made by the Group and/or third parties that are subject to inherent risks and may prove to be inaccurate or unachievable. Such assumptions are not verified. The forward-looking statements included are based on current information, estimates and plans that may change rapidly due to changes in the Bitcoin ecosystem or external factors and without notice. Investors are cautioned to not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
The Group has to comply with a wide range of laws and regulations, e.g. data protection regulations and regulatory regime applicable to electronic archiving of public data the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") in the EU/EEA incorporated in Norwegian law through the Personal Data Act and tax legislation, treaties and regulations.
The Group is also exposed to regulatory risks under the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation ("MiCA"). Part of Ace's planned business activities through its subsidiary Ace Advise AS will require a MiCA license, which is expected to take significant time to obtain with earliest approval anticipated in 2026. Until the MiCA license is received by Ace Advise AS, the Company's activities through its subsidiaries will be limited to non-licensed services, meaning Ace Advise AS will not be fully operational until 2026 at the earliest. There is no guarantee that the MiCA license application will be successful, and regulatory requirements or interpretation may change during the application process, potentially affecting the Group's business strategy and revenue projections.
Further, due to the nature of the Company's business as an industrial investment company in the Bitcoin ecosystem, the Group is also exposed to regulatory risks arising from the interpretation of the Norwegian Act on the Management of Alternative Investment Funds implementing the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD). The Company has considered whether the Company can be classified as an alternative investment fund (AIF) subject to regulation by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway and is confident in its assessment that it does not meet the criteria to be classified as an AIF. As set out in Section 7.4 "The Company's principal activities", the Company's core philosophy is active, long-term ownership in companies and further enhancing the value of the Company's Shares by the Bitcoin treasury strategy, where the main purpose is to increase the shareholder value over time. Despite the Company's confidence in its non-AIF status, there remains a regulatory compliance risk due to the potential for differing interpretations of the AIF criteria and changes in regulatory guidance or enforcement practices by the national competent authority. The combination of MiCA licensing requirements, potential AIFMD classification issues, and other regulatory compliance obligations creates a complex regulatory environment that may limit the Group's operational flexibility and growth prospects. Should the aforementioned risk materialise, this may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, performance and financial position
The cryptocurrency industry, including Bitcoin, is subject to evolving and fragmented regulations globally. New or stricter regulations in Norway or other jurisdictions where the Group operates could limit the ability to offer Bitcoin-related products, increase compliance costs, or require operational changes. For example, restrictions on Bitcoin trading, custody, or mining could impact the Group's strategy and financial performance.
Regulatory uncertainty in the Bitcoin ecosystem may also affect client confidence and demand for the Group's services. Noncompliance with existing or future regulations could lead to sanctions, legal disputes, or reputational damage, materially adversely affecting the Group's operations and prospects.
The Group is exposed to the risk of breaching international and anti-bribery/anti-corruption laws, any of which may have a negative impact to the Group's reputation and financial condition the Group is exposed towards risks relating to international sanctions, in particular sanctions on trade and import/export and anti-bribery/anticorruption laws through its operations in and trade across multiple jurisdictions.
Furthermore, sanctions imposed on certain countries, companies or individuals by international and regional bodies (e.g. the World Trade Organisation, United Nations, the United States, the European Union, etc.) and Great Britain could materially adversely affect the Group's ability to establish its operations in, establish partnerships or trade with those sanctioned countries or companies and/or individuals linked with such countries. Any of these events may result in loss of revenues, increased costs or decreased cash flows.
The Group's operations and growth strategy, including Bitcoin accumulation, product development, and potential mining ventures, require significant liquidity. The Group may need to raise additional capital through equity issuances, convertible debt, or other instruments. Market conditions, Bitcoin volatility, or a lack of investor confidence in the cryptocurrency sector could limit access to capital on favorable terms or at all.
The Group relies on cash flows and returns from strategic investments. Insufficient liquidity could impair the Group's ability to meet obligations, fund operations, or pursue growth opportunities, materially adversely affecting its financial condition and prospects.
The tax treatment of Bitcoin as a non-financial asset in Norway and other jurisdictions is subject to interpretation and potential changes. Norwegian or international tax authorities may introduce new tax or VAT regulations at any time that may affect the Group's Bitcoin holdings, advisory services, or investment products. A difference in the interpretation of relevant tax and VAT legislation or other future changes to the current tax and/or VAT regime could potentially have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position or results of operations.
An investment in the Company's Shares is associated with a high degree of risk and the price of the Shares may not develop favourably. An active or liquid trading market for the Shares may not develop or be sustained, and the Shares may not be resold at or above the offer price. If such market fails to develop or be sustained, it could have a negative impact on the price of the Shares.
Additionally, the Company's share price may be subject to significant volatility due to fluctuations in Bitcoin prices(see Section 1.1.1). As the Company holds Bitcoin as a primary treasury asset, investors may perceive the Company's value as directly tied to Bitcoin's market performance, creating a correlation between Bitcoin price movements and the Company's stock valuation. This correlation may result in the Company's shares experiencing amplified price movements in both directions, potentially declining more rapidly during Bitcoin downturns or exhibiting exaggerated gains during Bitcoin appreciation periods. The correlation effect may be intensified by market sentiment regarding cryptocurrency adoption, regulatory developments affecting Bitcoin, and investor speculation, causing the Company's stock performance to be more volatile than traditional equity investments.
The Company's business strategy (as further described in Section 7.4.4) includes an opportunistic approach in the capital markets, utilizing its equity, to be listed on Euronext Growth Oslo, as a currency for strategic investments. The Company may in the future in accordance with its business strategy seek to raise capital through issue of additional equity securities if the trading price of the Shares is on or above its intrinsic value or net asset value, to fund investments in Bitcoin or other valuecreating activities within the Bitcoin ecosystem (e.g. operations of its subsidiaries, advisory services, and portfolio company investments).
Further, the Company may in the future seek to raise capital through offerings of debt securities (potentially including convertible debt securities) or additional equity securities in order to finance new capital-intensive projects, in connection with unanticipated liabilities or expenses or for any other purposes. An issuance of additional equity securities or securities with rights to convert into equity could reduce the market price for the Shares and would dilute the economic and voting rights of the existing shareholders if made without granting subscription rights to existing shareholders.
The Company's General Meeting has resolved to grant a total of 6,210,826 warrants to AAM, representing approximately 4.93% of the currently outstanding Shares, with a strike price at NOK 0,70 (the "AAM Warrants"). As at the date of this Information Document no warrants have been exercised by AAM. The AAM Warrants may be exercised until 19 May 2030.
As further described in Section 9.6, the Company's General Meeting has also approved the guidelines for the Board of Directors to establish an incentive program backed by issuance of warrants for members of the Management, Board of Directors, Advisory Board, employees and other key personnel (the Option Program). The options shall be supported by warrants granting the participants of the Option Program the right to subscribe for a number of Shares corresponding to the number of options granted to the participants.
Pursuant to the guidelines, the Option Program is proposed to comprise a total of 10% of the Company's total outstanding Shares at all times. The options shall vest annually over periods of minimum three years and up to five years. The Board of Directors is granted authorisation to develop the specific terms for the incentive program in line with the guidelines approved by the General Meeting, as well as the final implementation of the incentive program. For the avoidance of doubt, no options have been issued under the Option Program at the date of this Information Document. The Company's General Meeting has resolved to issue 15 warrants in connection with the Option Program to be established, representing approximately 10% of the currently outstanding Shares with a strike price of NOK 1 (with any adjustments as specified in the option agreement between the Participant and the Company). As at the date of this Information Document, no warrants have been allocated/subscribed for or exercised.
In total, the AAM Warrants and the warrants issued in connection with the Option Program constitute approximately 14.93% of the currently outstanding Shares.
The AAM Warrants, as well as any new options/warrants that may be granted under the Option Program when implemented in the future, will have a dilutive effect on the Company's shareholders once exercised.
Further, the Company's general meeting or board of directors may resolve/propose to deviate from the shareholders' preemption right with the result that the holdings and voting interests of existing shareholders could be diluted. The Company currently has board authorizations giving the right to deviate from shareholders' pre-emption rights (see Section 10.6)
The Company cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of the Shares, or the availability of shares for future sales, will have on the market price of the Shares. Sales of substantial amounts of the Shares in the public market following or the perception that such sales could occur could adversely affect the market price of the Shares, making it more difficult for holders to sell their Shares or the Company to sell equity securities at a time and price that they deem appropriate
A concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control of the Company that could be economically beneficial to other shareholders. Furthermore, the lack of take over regulation on Euronext Growth Oslo, as opposed to Euronext Oslo Børs and Euronext Expand, may contribute to increase the risk of a concentration of ownership as there are no rules on mandatory offer obligations. Further, the interests of shareholders exerting a significant influence over the Company may not in all matters be aligned with the interests of the Company and the other shareholders of the Company.
Some of the large shareholders of the Company hold a significant percentage of the Shares in the Company, and in particular AAM with a shareholding of approximately 23.84%. AAM may increase its shareholding further through the AAM Warrants. AAM is controlled by Alexander Hagen. Accordingly, these shareholders may continue to retain a control or otherwise significant influence in the Company. The interests of existing shareholders may differ significantly from or compete with the Company's interests or those of other shareholders, and it is possible that existing shareholders, including AAM, may exercise influence over the Company in a manner that is not in the best interests of all shareholders. The concentration of share ownership could delay, postpone or prevent a change of control in the Company, and impact mergers, consolidations, acquisitions or other forms of combinations, as well as distributions of profit, which may or may not be desired by other investors. Such conflicts could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or prospects.
The ability of shareholders of the Company, in their capacity as such following registration of a share capital increase in the Company in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises (Nw.: Foretaksregisteret) (the "NRBE"), to make claims against the Company is severely limited under Norwegian law.
Certain transfer and selling restrictions may limit a shareholder's ability to sell or otherwise transfer their Shares. Beneficial owners of Shares that are registered in the name of a nominee may not be able to participate, or vote for such Shares, at the General Meeting unless they notify the Company about such participation at the latest two business days before the General Meeting.
The Shares have not been registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) or any US state securities laws or any other jurisdiction outside of Norway and are not expected to be registered in the future. The Shares may not be offered or sold except unless an exemption from the applicable registration requirement under US law is available. Shareholders residing or domiciled in the US may not be able to participate in future capital increases, rights offerings or other issuances of securities by the Company and as such have their shareholdings diluted or not be able to receive economic benefits related to the Shares.
The Company's Shares are priced in Norwegian Kroner (NOK), the lawful currency of Norway, and any future payments of dividends on the Shares or other distributions from the Company will be denominated in NOK. Accordingly, any investor outside Norway is subject to adverse movements in NOK against their local currency, as the foreign currency equivalent of any dividends paid on the Shares or price received in connection with any sale of the Shares could be materially impacted upon by adverse currency movements. Unless otherwise resolved by the general meeting, shareholders in Norwegian limited liability companies such as the Company, have pre-emptive rights proportionate to the aggregate amount of the Shares they hold with respect to new Shares issued by the Company for payment in cash. For reasons relating to foreign securities laws or other factors, foreign investors may not be able to participate in a new issuance of Shares or other securities and may face dilution as a result.

The Company believes the Admission will:
No equity capital or proceeds will be raised by the Company in connection with the Admission, but the Company has completed a Private Placement immediately prior to the Admission, as further described in section 6 ("The Private Placement").
The Company has not paid any dividends since its incorporation. As of the date of this Information Document, the Company is in a growth phase, focusing on the development and commercialisation of its products and services. Therefore, the Company is not in a position to pay dividends and does not anticipate doing so in the near future. Additionally, it should be noted that part of the Company's business strategy as at the date of this Information Document includes prioritizing Bitcoin retention over distributing cash flow to its shareholders.
In deciding whether to propose a dividend and in determining the dividend amount, the Board of Directors will take into account legal restrictions, as set out in Section 5.2 ("Legal and contractual constraints on the distribution of dividends") below, as well as capital expenditure plans, financing requirements and maintaining the appropriate strategic flexibility.
In deciding whether to propose a dividend and in determining the dividend amount in the future, the Board of Directors must take into account applicable legal restrictions, as set out in the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act of 13 June 1997 no. 44 (as amended) (the "Norwegian Private Companies Act"), the Company's capital requirements, including capital expenditure requirements, its financial condition, general business conditions and any restrictions that its contractual arrangements in force at the time of the dividend may place on its ability to pay dividends and the maintenance of appropriate financial flexibility. Except in certain specific and limited circumstances set out in the Norwegian Private Companies Act, dividends paid may not exceed the amount recommended by the Board of Directors.
Dividends may be paid in cash or in some instances in kind. The Norwegian Private Companies Act provides the following constraints on the distribution of dividends applicable to the Company:
Pursuant to the Norwegian Private Companies Act, the time when an entitlement to dividend arises depends on what was resolved by the general meeting when it resolved to issue new shares in the company. A subscriber of new shares in a Norwegian private limited company will normally be entitled to dividends from the time when the relevant share capital increase is registered with the NRBE. The Norwegian Private Companies Act does not provide for any time limit after which entitlement to dividends lapses. Subject to various exceptions, Norwegian law provides a limitation period of three years from the date on which an obligation is due. There are no dividend restrictions or specific procedures for non-Norwegian resident shareholders to claim dividends. For a description of withholding tax on dividends applicable to non-Norwegian residents, see Section 11 ("Norwegian taxation").
Any future payments of dividends on the Shares will be denominated in the currency of the bank account of the relevant shareholder and will be paid to the shareholders through the VPS Registrar. Shareholders registered in the VPS who have not supplied the VPS Registrar with details of their bank account, will not receive payment of dividends unless they register their bank account details with the VPS Registrar. The exchange rate(s) applied when denominating any future payments of dividends to the relevant shareholder's currency will be the VPS Registrar's exchange rate on the payment date. Dividends will be credited automatically to the VPS registered shareholders' accounts, or in lieu of such registered account, at the time when the shareholder has provided the VPS Registrar with their bank account details, without the need for shareholders to present documentation proving their ownership of the Shares. Shareholders' right to payment of dividend will lapse three years following the resolved payment date for those shareholders who have not registered their bank account details with the VPS Registrar within such date. Following the expiry of such date, the remaining, not distributed dividend will be returned from the VPS Registrar to the Company.
On 18 September 2025, the Company completed a private placement of 33,736,735 new shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares"), each with a nominal value of NOK 0.001, at a subscription price of NOK 1, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of NOK 33,736,735 (the "Private Placement").
The application period for the Private Placement took place from 10 September 2025 to 17 September 2025 and notifications of conditional allocation was issued on 18 September 2025. Payments for all Offer Shares took place on or about 19 September 2025.
The share capital increase pertaining to the Offer Shares was registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises on or about 23 September 2025 and the relevant Offer Shares were issued and delivered in VPS on 24 September 2025.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of Offer Shares to implement its business strategy, primarily enhancing Bitcoin exposure, developing, hiring key personnel, covering operational expenses, and supporting general corporate purposes. The allocation will depend on market conditions and strategic priorities.
This use of proceeds aligns with the Company's 12-month and longer-term plans, including treasury implementation, subsidiary development, and team expansion. The minimum raise of NOK 30 million (target NOK 30-50 million), combined with existing funds, will fully cover these plans, enabling sustained growth while managing Bitcoin volatility and currency risks. The allocation is subject to market conditions, regulatory changes, and operational risks that could affect outcomes.
In addition to the above, the proceeds will be used to cover relevant transaction costs incurred in connection with the Private Placement and the listing of the Shares on Euronext Growth Oslo.
The Company is of the opinion that, the Company's working capital prior to the Private Placement was sufficient for the Group's requirements for the period covering at least 12 months from the Information Document.
The Company's costs, fees and expenses related to the Private Placement, as well as the preparation of and the listing of the Shares on Euronext Growth Oslo, are estimated to amount to approximately NOK 4 million.
For any existing shareholders not participating in the Private Placement, the issue of the Offer Shares implied a dilution of approximately 26.81%.
This section provides an overview of the Company's business as of the date of this Information Document. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's plans and estimates, see Section 3.3 ("Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements") above, and should be read in conjunction with other parts of this Information Document, in particular Section 1 ("Risk factors").
Below are explanations of certain key terms in the Company's industry.
| Term | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Bitcoin | Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency and peer-to-peer payment network that operates without a central authority or intermediary. It is based on open-source software and powered by a distributed ledger technology known as blockchain, where transactions are recorded chronologically and publicly. The native unit of value on the Bitcoin network is also called bitcoin (abbreviated BTC), and it can be transferred, stored, or exchanged digitally. Bitcoin is secured through cryptographic |
| algorithms and maintained by a global network of nodes and miners that validate and append transactions to the blockchain. In many jurisdictions, including Norway, Bitcoin is classified as a digital asset, and not legal tender or a financial security. |
|
| Digital assets | A digital representation of something of value, for which ownership is verified and recorded on a distributed ledger. |
The Company maintains a lean organizational structure, with a small team of key personnel in Management and a Board of Directors, complemented by the Advisory Board. The team collectively possesses extensive experience in the Bitcoin ecosystem, capital markets (including equity, bond, and derivative markets), and the broader cryptocurrency space. The board and advisory board also bring advanced technical and IT expertise, positioning the Company to effectively execute its strategy.
As the Company and the Group grows, it may expand its team by recruiting candidates with specialized expertise aligned with its strategic objectives.
The table below shows the Company's key milestones from its incorporation and to the date of this Information Document:
| Quarter - Year | Event |
|---|---|
| Q1 - 2020 | Ace Digital was founded on 6 February 2020 |
| Q3 - 2023 | Initiation of operational activity |
| Q2 - 2025 | Completed a private placement with gross proceeds of approx. NOK 43.4 million |
| Q3 - 2025 | Acquisition of shelf companies and integration of shelf companies in the Group structure as Ace Advise AS and Ace Invester AS |
| Q3 - 2025 | Completed Private Placement (IPO) with gross proceeds of NOK 33,736,735 |
| Q3 - 2025 | Admission to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo. |
Ace is a holding company established to pursue long-term active ownership in its subsidiaries and other companies to be established or acquired ownership stakes in as further described below, operating primarily within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
The other investments will primarily be strategic stakes where the Company through active ownership and sharing of insights may contribute to shareholder value. The Company's principal activities involve strategic oversight and active ownership of subsidiaries and affiliates offering products and services related to Bitcoin, including, but not limited to, accumulating Bitcoin as a treasury asset, the provision of advisory services, and investment opportunities in Bitcoin-related products.
The Company's strategy includes accumulating Bitcoin as a treasury asset, either at the holding company level or through its subsidiaries, prioritizing Bitcoin retention over distributing cash flows to shareholders.
Ace is a Norwegian holding company focused on delivering services within the Bitcoin ecosystem through its wholly or partly owned subsidiaries and affiliated companies. At the date of this Information Document, the Group is currently only carrying out its products and services related to its Bitcoin treasury strategy, holding approximately 20 Bitcoin. At the date of this Information Document the Bitcoin treasury strategy is directly managed by the Company. Going forward, the Company is planning to in whole or in part transfer the implementation of its Bitcoin treasury strategy to a dedicated subsidiary to be established (Ace Treasury AS).
The Company's ambition is to hold Bitcoin as a treasury asset, either directly or through its subsidiaries, to enhance its exposure to Bitcoin while implementing risk-mitigation strategies, primarily through derivatives such as options, to protect against downside risk. The Company is committed to ensuring the security and integrity of its Bitcoin holding by leveraging storage solutions that align with adequate industry standards for solvency and transparency, as verified by third parties the Company deems reputable. Currently, the Company utilizes some platforms that store up to 90% of their assets in cold storage, prioritizing robust security measures. Going forward, the Company will continuously evaluate and adapt its storage methods to maintain high standards of security, in line with its strategic objectives and the growth of its Bitcoin holdings, which may include cold storage utilizing multiparty computation (MPC) technology, developed in collaboration with reputable crypto security providers.
The Company has acquired and established two subsidiaries, Ace Advise AS and Ace Invester AS which will become operational in 2025, at the latest 2026. Going forward, the Company will gradually reduce its direct operational activities and instead concentrate on exercising strategic oversight and active ownership in relation to its subsidiaries and portfolio investments. A third subsidiary (Ace Treasury AS) is planned to manage, partly or in whole, the Company's operational Bitcoin treasury strategy.
Ace Invester AS ("Ace Invester"), the venture capital arm of Ace, is launching in 2025 to drive the future of Bitcoin-related innovation. Based in the Nordics, Ace Invester will invest in startups and established companies shaping the Bitcoin ecosystem, from blockchain infrastructure to financial solutions. Ace Invester seeks bold, high-growth Bitcoin-related ventures, with a primary focus on the Nordics. Ace Invester's venture capital approach supports companies in:
As part of Ace, Ace Invester combine cryptocurrency expertise with strong Nordic networks to help portfolio companies succeed. Their hands-on approach provides strategic guidance, market access, and capital to fuel growth.
Ace Advise AS ("Ace Advise") specialises in general strategic advisory services for businesses seeking to integrate Bitcoin or a Bitcoin Treasury Strategy into their operations. In the complex and evolving cryptocurrency landscape, Ace Advise provide customized, actionable guidance to empower our clients, while explicitly not offering investment advice. Parts of Ace Advise's planned business activities will require a MiCA license, which is expected to take significant time to obtain with earliest approval anticipated in 2026. Until the MiCA license is received by Ace Advise, the subsidiary's activities will be limited to non-licensed services, meaning Ace Advise will not be fully operational until 2026 at the earliest.
Ace Advise will deliver bespoke strategies tailored to each client's unique objectives, ensuring clarity and confidence in navigating Bitcoin-related opportunities. Subject to regulatory approval, Ace Advise's team and associates address critical areas, including:
Ace Advise's ability to deliver its full-service offering is contingent upon successful completion of the MiCA licensing process, which involves regulatory compliance costs, extended approval timelines, and potential rejection risk.
Ace Treasury AS ("Ace Treasury") will be established to manage, partly or in whole, Ace Digital's operational Bitcoin Treasury Strategy, currently conducted directly within the holding company. This strategy focuses on long-term management of Bitcoin as a core asset class to strengthen the Company's financial position and shareholder value. Ace Treasury will serve as the operational foundation supporting the Group's other activities through specialized Bitcoin treasury management. The subsidiary will describe its role in relation to Ace Digital's strategy for Bitcoin Asset Management and Treasury Strategy, with emphasis on the Company's Nordic focus and value creation through advisory services, investments, and active management of Bitcoin holdings. The subsidiary is planned for launch in 2025 as part of Ace Digital's comprehensive corporate structure, alongside Ace Advise AS and Ace Invester AS.
Ace Funds AS, with organization number 912 378 977 ("Ace Funds"), is a registered Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) and Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) under the supervision of the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (NFSA). Ace Funds is wholly owned by Alexander Hagen, the Company's CEO. The Company has entered into an agreement with Alexander Hagen, under which the Company has acquired an option granting it the right, but not the obligation, to acquire all of the outstanding B-shares in Ace Funds at no additional cost. Ace Funds provides financial investments and manages investments, executed within the regulatory framework of its AIF authorization.
Ace is a holding company with Bitcoin treasury management as its core business, aiming to become the most transparent and leading Nordic Bitcoin treasury platform. Ace operates with a lean, experienced team and a disciplined approach to capital deployment. The team brings deep experience in derivatives trading, and long-standing expertise in options, futures, and structured products.
A key part of the Group's strategy is to reinvest earnings and operational surplus into Bitcoin exposure. This approach is designed to compound long-term returns and grow shareholder value over time, while using derivatives to manage risk, reduce drawdowns, and protect the Group's capital base.
The Company's strategy focuses on leveraging the expertise of its Management, Board of Directors, and Advisory Board to target niche markets within the Bitcoin ecosystem, particularly in advisory services and product offerings involving Bitcoin derivatives. With the proceeds from the Offering, the Company aims to expand its business by developing new products, acquiring new clients and considering strategic partnerships, all within a lean organizational structure.
A key value driver in Company will be the future returns on the investments in the subsidiaries and the strategic investments, further enhanced by return on Bitcoin as treasury asset.
The Company will adopt an opportunistic approach in the capital markets, utilizing its equity, to be listed on Euronext Growth Oslo, as a currency for strategic investments. If the Management determines that the Company's equity is trading substantially above its intrinsic value or net asset value, it may issue new equity to fund investments in Bitcoin or other valuecreating activities within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Conversely, if the equity is deemed undervalued, the Company may sell Bitcoin from its balance sheet to repurchase shares. The Management may also consider issuing convertible debt or preferred shares if and when terms are considered accretive to shareholders.
The Company has no defined dividend policy and will on an opportunistic basis decide if future returns should be reinvested in the Company or be distributed to the shareholders.
The Company intends to explore opportunities in Bitcoin mining, subject to thorough investment analysis. Any mining activities will be structured such that it does not pose a material financial downside risk to the Company, and will on the technical side primarily rely on outsourced expertise. Such activities may be conducted directly by the holding company, through any existing or new subsidiaries or in a joint venture.
To manage its Bitcoin treasury, the Company will implement strategies to optimize exposure while using derivatives, primarily options, to mitigate downside risk without amplifying exposure compared to holding Bitcoin outright. Futures-based strategies may also be considered for hedging purposes.
The Company has a perpetual approach to its Business Strategy and has hence no defined exit.
As a central component of the Company's treasury strategy, advanced derivative strategies are employed to enhance Bitcoin exposure while managing risk in a volatile market. Importantly, this strategy does not involve trading based on short-term views on Bitcoin's directional movements. Instead, the Company maintains a long-term positive outlook on Bitcoin and seeks to achieve sustained exposure through its holdings. The strategies are partially systematic, with market conditions - such as implied volatility, price trends, and contango - guiding the selection of specific option approaches to minimize discretionary manager risk within the team. Option strategies are designed to provide protection against major value declines in Bitcoin, which has historically experienced significant drawdowns, including ten notable declines ranging from 40% to over 93% between 2011 and 2023 (see Table 1 below for details).
These option strategies include call option strategies, such as ratio spreads, stock replica spreads, and plain vanilla purchases, to secure participation in potential upside price movements. Put option strategies, such as calendar ratio spreads or plain vanilla purchases, are used to insure Bitcoin holdings, providing a hedge against significant declines. The selection of specific options, strike prices, and expiration dates is determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on market conditions, including Bitcoin's price movements, implied volatility levels, and contango in the futures curve. This flexible approach allows the Company to optimize risk-adjusted returns without committing to rigid frameworks.
In terms of capital deployment, the Company primarily uses equity-raised funds for Bitcoin exposure. For example, out of 100 units of capital, approximately 50 may be allocated to direct Bitcoin purchases, with a portion (e.g., 25) used as collateral to establish option exposures equivalent to an additional 50 units. This structure indirectly provides protection for about 50% of the portfolio, as the full capital is not deployed into spot Bitcoin, reducing overall downside risk while maintaining leveraged upside potential. Excess liquidity may be invested in market-neutral, low-risk products, such as high-interest accounts or Bitcoin carry trades (buying Bitcoin and selling futures against it), to generate additional yield while preserving capital. As Bitcoin and related derivatives are primarily denominated in USD, the Company is exposed to currency risk against the USD relative to its functional currency.
To minimize costs associated with high option premiums (extrinsic value), the Company employs advanced option strategies, such as stock replica spreads, which involve selling short-term options against longer-term positions to offset negative theta decay on a daily basis. These techniques help achieve efficient hedging and exposure without excessive net premiums, aligning with the Company's focus on capital efficiency.
This derivatives capability is a core pillar of Ace Digital's strategy, enabling the Company to optimize risk-adjusted returns while actively managing downside exposure in the volatile Bitcoin market. To ensure transparency, the Company intends to provide monthly updates to the market via its website, including key metrics such as delta exposure and realized profit/loss on these strategies, complementing the broader Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the Bitcoin treasury.
Looking ahead, Ace Digital will continue to refine and scale this strategy to capture the upside potential in the Bitcoin market while protecting invested capital. The Company will also expand its internal R&D initiatives to enhance strategic capabilities, ensuring adaptability to evolving market dynamics.
To provide transparent and up-to-date insights into Ace Digital AS' Bitcoin treasury strategy the Company goal is to offer clear, real data on key performance indicators (KPIs) that reflect the Company's commitment to leveraging Bitcoin as a core treasury asset. This aligns with the Company's mission to become the leading Nordic platform for Bitcoin-related opportunities.
The Company will as of the first day of trading report on the following KPIs on a daily basis (covering trading days on Euronext Growth Oslo) on its website www.acedigital.no:
• Bitcoin Holdings: Total amount of Bitcoin directly held by the Company.
The Company will consider whether additional KPIs (other than the above) should be reported on in the future, taking into account further investor response, market conditions, and the development of the Group's business.
Additionally, the Company will, like other listed companies, keep the website updated on the Company's market capitalization and the share price.

| Mar 12, 2020 | 7,935 | 4,830 | 39.1 | 35 |
| Term in Table 1 | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Date of Peak | This is the calendar date when Bitcoin reached its local high price before the drawdown began. |
| It marks the starting point of the decline. | |
| Peak Price (USD) | The highest market price of Bitcoin (in US dollars) at that peak. It serves as the reference point |
| from which the percentage decline (drawdown) is measured. | |
| Trough Price (USD) | The lowest market price of Bitcoin (in US dollars) reached during that particular decline. It marks |
| the bottom of the drawdown before the market started to recover. | |
| Drawdown (%) | The percentage decline from the Peak Price to the Trough Price. Example: If Bitcoin fell from USD |
| 60,000 to USD 30,000, the drawdown is −50%. | |
| Recovery Period (Days) | The number of calendar days it took for Bitcoin's price to recover from the Trough Price back up |
| to the same level as the Peak Price (i.e., to fully erase the drawdown). |
Exemplifying case on Nov 10, 2021:
On 10 November 2021, Bitcoin reached an all-time high closing price of USD 69,045. Following this peak, the price declined steadily over the subsequent year, reaching a trough of USD 15,599 on 21 November 2022. This represented a peak-to-trough decline of approximately 77.4%. Thereafter, Bitcoin gradually recovered, and the price returned to the prior peak level of USD 69,045 on 6 March 2024, corresponding to a recovery period of 406 days from the trough. This real-life example illustrates the inherent volatility in the Bitcoin market, where significant drawdowns can occur over relatively short timeframes, followed by extended recovery periods.
The Company has developed a strategic approach to selecting custodians, wallets and trading platforms based on inter alia these criteria:
• Minimize foreign money transfers in relation to AML:

Ace Digital has entered into a strategic partnership with K33 AB (publ), a digital asset brokerage and infrastructure firm. The partnership underscores both companies' commitment to supporting the institutional integration of Bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset.
Under this partnership, K33 will be able provide institutional-grade trading and custody services to support parts of Ace Digital's treasury operations. The two companies will also explore further opportunities for collaboration in the broader Bitcoin financial ecosystem.
The partnership does not in any way bind or obligate Ace Digital to utilize K33's services.
The strategic alignment has been strengthened by K33 CEO Torbjørn Bull Jenssen joining Ace Digital's advisory board (see Section 9.3). His background in macroeconomics, digital assets, and financial infrastructure will help support Ace's next phase of growth and its entry into public markets.
In this section, an overview of the markets that the Company is active in is presented. The information in this section is the Company's overall assessment based on internal and external sources.
Bitcoin is a digital asset that represents a new asset class that combines the properties of real estate, gold and financial assets, but with a technological and global dimension. It can be transferred and stored without counterparties, offering low correlation to traditional investments. Bitcoin is issued by an open-source protocol. The Bitcoin ecosystem is a dynamic network of participants that support, develop and interact with Bitcoin as a digital asset and decentralized financial system. It includes companies and individuals involved in buying, selling, storing and securing Bitcoin, as well as financial institutions integrating it into investment strategies.
A maximum of 21 million Bitcoin can ever be mined and as of 11 August 2025, approximately 20 million bitcoins have been generated.2 Estimates of bitcoin ownership vary, with on‑chain data pointing to approximately 106 million individual owners (Source: CoinMarketCap. "Bitcoin price today, BTC to USD live price, marketcap and chart.") and broader industry analyses, such as Crypto.com, estimating up to approximately 337 million holders globally. The market value of Bitcoin is more than USD 2 trillion as per 18 August 2025 (unit price around USD 116,300 per bitcoin).3

3 Available at:https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ (Accessed: 18 August 2025).
A number of macro and industry-specific trends are shaping the environment in which Bitcoin treasury companies operate. Most notably, there is growing recognition of Bitcoin as a legitimate store of value and as a potential hedge against inflation and the devaluation of fiat currencies. Its decentralized design - with a fixed supply capped at 21 million coins - continues to reinforce the narrative of Bitcoin as "digital gold." Moreover, Bitcoin's peer-to-peer network, operational 24/7, offers unique accessibility and liquidity advantages compared to traditional financial assets.
Bitcoin's integration into financial ecosystems is further evidenced by its use as collateral in lending and trading markets. Exchanges and both traditional and decentralized platforms now regularly accept Bitcoin as backing for financial products, enhancing its utility and acceptance as a financial asset. For instance, SeaDream Yacht Club, a Norwegian luxury cruise operator, recently started accepting Bitcoin (and over 200 other cryptocurrencies) for booking voyages and full-yacht charters.4 This move not only reflects growing consumer and merchant adoption but also underscores Bitcoin's practical value in high-value, cross-border transactions.
The regulatory context for Bitcoin remains in flux. Governments and supervisory bodies worldwide are developing evolving frameworks for digital assets - governing areas such as taxation, custody, and disclosure. While ambiguity remains in some jurisdictions, the broader trend suggests increasing legitimacy. Notable milestones include the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States - which has enabled regulated access to Bitcoin for both institutional and retail investors - and similar developments in Europe and Canada. In addition, certain countries, most prominently El Salvador and the Central African Republic, have gone a step further by recognizing Bitcoin as legal tender, allowing it to be used directly for payments alongside traditional fiat currencies.5
The competition faced by the Company first and foremost lies within the Bitcoin treasury market itself, however, the competitive landscape for a Bitcoin treasury company is broad and evolving. At the center are other Bitcoin treasury firms, which pursue a similar strategy of holding Bitcoin as a core reserve asset. These companies frequently raise capital through debt or equity markets, with the explicit goal of accumulating Bitcoin, and compete on their ability to maximize Bitcoin per share while navigating financing conditions and market volatility.
Beyond direct peers (such as the ones mentioned below), competition also comes from alternative investment vehicles such as exchange-traded products (ETPs) and funds that provide exposure to Bitcoin's price movements. While these instruments do not involve the direct holding of Bitcoin, they attract investor capital that might otherwise flow toward treasury companies. In parallel, miners, exchanges and custody providers play a critical role in the ecosystem. Miners secure the Bitcoin network and earn rewards in Bitcoin, exchanges enable efficient access and liquidity, and custodians provide essential infrastructure for secure storage - all of which influence the market dynamics in which treasury companies operate.
Traditional financial institutions and large asset managers represent another layer of competition. Increasingly, these entities are integrating Bitcoin into diversified investment portfolios, thereby competing for investor attention and capital. At the same time, fintech and technology companies are pushing forward innovation in payments, wallets and infrastructure, expanding Bitcoin's usability and scalability and indirectly shaping the environment in which treasury companies define their value proposition.
In recent months, there has been a notable increase in the number of publicly listed Swedish companies implementing Bitcoin Treasury strategies. Firms such as H100 Group, GreenMerc AB, K33 AB, and Bitcoin Treasury Capital have launched major capital raises - totaling tens to hundreds of millions of SEK - and begun accumulating Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.6 Some of these companies have seen dramatic stock price growth - H100's share price rose over 500% and Fragbite surged 129% - following their Bitcoin announcements.7 This rapid clustering of Bitcoin treasury initiatives suggests Sweden has become a key hub for this corporate model in the crypto space.
The Bitcoin industry participants include Bitcoin treasury companies that hold Bitcoin as a strategic asset, exchanges and trading platforms that enable buying and selling and custody service providers offering secure storage. Mining companies

and pools validate transactions and secure the network. Traditional financial institutions and funds are increasingly incorporating Bitcoin into their investment strategies, while payment processors enable its use for transactions. Wallet providers offer secure tools for storing and managing Bitcoin, and tech companies drive innovation and scalability. Lastly, regulatory entities oversee compliance within the crypto space.
The Company is committed to ensuring the security and integrity of its Bitcoin holdings by leveraging storage solutions that align with adequate industry standards for solvency and transparency, as verified by third parties the Company deems reputable. Currently, the Company utilizes some platforms that store up to 90% of their assets in cold storage, prioritizing robust security measures. Going forward, the Company will continuously evaluate and adapt its storage methods to maintain high standards of security, in line with its strategic objectives and the growth of its Bitcoin holdings.
To diversify risk and enhance resilience, the Board of Directors will oversee an ongoing assessment of storage solutions, which may include cold storage utilising multiparty computation (MPC) technology, developed in collaboration with reputable crypto security providers, or other methods deemed secure and appropriate based on the Company's operations. Major fund movements will be safeguarded with multi-step authorization procedures, and time-delay mechanisms to mitigate single points of failure.

The Company has a Bitcoin accumulative strategy and invests in Bitcoin which is reflected in the balance sheet.
As of 31 December 2024, the Company had approximately NOK 6 million placed in Bitcoin and as of the same date, the Company had total assets of approximately NOK 11.6 million, of which Bitcoin amounts to approximately 52%.
The valuation of the cryptocurrencies on the Company's balance sheet is based on an average calculation in line with how other inventories are normally valuated. This is in accordance with both IAS 2, the Norwegian Accounting Standard and the guidelines the Norwegian Tax Administration has provided in this area.
Bitcoin is amongst the most liquid cryptocurrencies and one of the most actively traded cryptocurrencies worldwide, with high daily trading volumes across multiple exchanges.8 The Company's holdings of Bitcoin can generally be liquidated within a short time period. While very large disposals could potentially influence market prices, Bitcoin's overall trading volume and liquidity provide assurance that ordinary liquidation of the Company's holdings can be executed efficiently.

The rights attached to the Shares are further described in Section 10.9 ("The Articles of Association") and Section 10.10 ("Certain aspects of Norwegian corporate law").

The general meeting of shareholders
The Company's shareholders exercise ultimate authority in the Company through the general meeting. In accordance with Norwegian law, the annual general meeting of the Company's shareholders is required to be held each year on or prior to 30 June. The following business must be dealt with and decided at the annual general meeting:
Norwegian law requires that written notice of general meetings setting forth the time of, the venue for and the agenda of the meeting is sent to all shareholders whose addresses are known no later than 14 days prior to the date of the general meeting of a Norwegian private limited liability company, unless the Articles of Association stipulate a longer period, which is not currently the case for the Company. A shareholder may vote at the general meeting either in person or by proxy (the proxy holder is appointed at their own discretion). All of the Company's shareholders who are registered in the shareholders' register kept and maintained with VPS as of the date of the general meeting, or who otherwise have reported and documented ownership of Shares in the Company, are entitled to participate at general meetings, without any requirement of pre-registration. Apart from the annual general meeting, extraordinary general meetings of shareholders may be held if the Board of Directors considers it necessary. An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders shall also be convened if, in order to discuss a specified matter, the auditor or shareholders representing at least 10% of the share capital demands such in writing. The requirements for notice and admission to the annual general meeting also apply to extraordinary general meetings.
Each Share carries the right to one vote at the Company's general meetings. No voting rights can be exercised with respect to treasury Shares held by the Company. A shareholder may attend and vote at the general meeting either in person or by proxy.
In general, in order to be entitled to vote, a shareholder must be registered as the owner of Shares in the Company's share register in the VPS or, in the case of a share transfer, report and show evidence of the shareholder's share acquisition to the Company prior to the general meeting. Beneficial owners of Shares that are registered in the name of a nominee are not entitled to vote with respect to such Shares under Norwegian law, nor are any persons who are designated in the register as holding such Shares as nominees. A nominee may not meet or vote for Shares registered on a nominee account (NOMaccount). A shareholder must, in order to ensure it is eligible to vote for such Shares at the general meeting, transfer the Shares from such NOM-account to an account in the shareholder's name.
Decisions that the general meeting is entitled to make under Norwegian Law or the Articles of Association are in general made by a simple majority of the votes cast. In the case of elections, the person(s) who receive(s) the greatest number of votes cast are elected.
Certain decisions, including but not limited to resolutions to waive preferential rights to subscribe in connection with any share issue in the Company, to approve a merger or demerger of the Company, to amend the Articles of Association, to authorise an increase or reduction in the share capital, to authorise an issuance of convertible loans or warrants by the Company or to authorise the Board of Directors to purchase Shares and hold them as treasury Shares or to dissolve the Company, must receive the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast as well as of least two-thirds of the share capital represented at a general meeting. Norwegian law further requires that certain decisions, which have the effect of substantially altering the rights and preferences of any Shares or class of Shares, receive the approval by the holders of such Shares or class of Shares as well as the majority required for amending the Articles of Association.
Decisions that (i) would reduce any shareholder's right in respect of dividend payments or other rights to the assets of the Company or (ii) restrict the transferability of the Shares through introduction of a consent requirement, a right of first refusal upon transfers or a requirement that shareholders must have certain qualifications, require a majority vote of at least 90% of the share capital represented at the general meeting in question as well as the majority required for amendments to the Articles of Association. Certain other types of changes in the rights of shareholders require the consent of all shareholders affected thereby as well as the majority required for amendments to the Articles of Association.
The Articles of Association do not set forth additional conditions with regard to changing the rights of shareholders than required by the Norwegian Private Companies Act.
There are no quorum requirements at general meetings.
If the Company issues any new Shares, including bonus share issues, the Articles of Association must be amended, which requires the same vote as other amendments to the Articles of Association. In connection with an increase in the Company's share capital by a subscription for Shares against cash contributions, Norwegian law provides the Company's shareholders with a preferential right to subscribe for the new Shares on a pro rata basis in accordance with their then-current shareholdings in the Company. The preferential rights may be set aside by the general meeting by the majority vote as required for amendments to the Articles of Association. A deviation of the shareholders' preferential rights in respect of bonus issues requires the approval of all outstanding Shares.
The general meeting may, with a majority vote as described above, authorise the Board of Directors to issue new Shares. Such authorisation may be effective for a maximum of two years, and the par value of the Shares to be issued may not exceed 50% of the share capital at the time the authorisation is registered with the NRBE. The preferential right to subscribe for Shares against consideration in cash may be set aside by the Board of Directors only if the authorisation includes such possibility for the Board of Directors.
Under Norwegian law, bonus Shares may be issued, subject to shareholder approval and provided that, amongst other requirements, the Company does not have an uncovered loss from a previous accounting year, by transfer from the Company's distributable equity or from the Company's share premium reserve. Any bonus issues may be affected either by issuing Shares or by increasing the par value of the Shares outstanding. If the increase in share capital is to take place by new Shares being issued, these new Shares must be allocated to the shareholders of the Company in proportion to their current shareholdings in the Company.
Issuance of new Shares to shareholders who are citizens or residents of the United States upon the exercise of preferential rights may require the Company to file a registration statement in the United States under United States securities laws. Should the Company in such a situation decide not to file a registration statement, the Company's U.S. shareholders may not be able to exercise their preferential rights. If a U.S. shareholder is ineligible to participate in a rights offering, such shareholder would not receive the rights at all, but the Company may seek to sell such rights on the shareholder' behalf. Similar restrictions and limitations may also apply pursuant to applicable laws and regulations in other jurisdictions.
Norwegian law sets forth a number of protections for minority shareholders of the Company, including but not limited to those described in this paragraph and the description of general meetings as set out above. Any of the Company's shareholders may petition Norwegian courts to have a decision of the Board of Directors or the Company's shareholders made at the general meeting declared invalid on the grounds that it unreasonably favours certain shareholders or third parties to the detriment of other shareholders or the Company itself. The Company's shareholders may also petition the courts to dissolve the Company as a result of such decisions to the extent particularly strong reasons are considered by the court to make necessary dissolution of the Company.
Minority shareholders holding 10% or more of the Company's share capital have a right to demand in writing that the Board of Directors convene an extraordinary general meeting to discuss or resolve specific matters. In addition, any of the Company's shareholders may in writing demand that the Company place an item on the agenda for any general meeting as long as the Company is notified in time for such item to be included in the notice of the meeting. If the notice has been issued when such a written demand is presented, a renewed notice must be issued if the deadline for issuing notice of the general meeting has not expired.
Board Members owe a fiduciary duty to the Company and its shareholders. Such fiduciary duty requires that the Board Members act in the best interests of the Company when exercising their functions and exercise a general duty of loyalty and care towards the Company. Their principal task is to safeguard the interests of the Company.
Each Board Member may be held liable by the Company for any damage they negligently or wilfully cause the Company. Norwegian law permits the general meeting to exempt any such person from liability towards the Company, but the exemption is not binding if substantially correct and complete information was not provided at the general meeting when the decision was made. If a resolution to grant such exemption from liability or not to pursue claims against such a person has been passed by a general meeting with a majority below that required to amend the Articles of Association, shareholders representing more than 10% of the share capital or, if there are more than 100 shareholders, more than 10% of the shareholders may pursue the claim on the Company's behalf and in its name. The cost of any such action is not the Company's responsibility, but can be recovered from any proceeds that the Company receives as a result of the action. If the decision to grant an exemption from liability or not to pursue claims is made by a majority required to amend the Articles of Association, the minority shareholders cannot pursue the claim in the Company's name.
Neither Norwegian law nor the Articles of Association contain any provision concerning indemnification by the Company of the Board of Directors.
Under Norwegian law, a company may be wound-up by a resolution of the company's shareholders in a general meeting passed by the same majority as required to amend the Articles of Association.
The share capital may be reduced by decreasing the par value of the Shares or by redemption of issued Shares. Such a decision requires the same majority as required to amend the Articles of Association. Redemption of individual Shares requires the consent of the holders of the Shares to be redeemed.
The Company may purchase its own Shares if an authorisation for the Board of Directors of the company to this effect has been given by a general meeting with the same majority as required to amend the Articles of Association. Treasury Shares may only be acquired if the Company's distributable equity, according to the latest adopted balance sheet, exceeds the consideration to be paid for the Shares. Acquisition of treasury Shares cannot be made if it would result in the Company's share capital, deducted by the par value of the treasury Shares, would become less than the statutory minimum requirement for share capital. The authorisation by the general meeting cannot be given for a period exceeding two years.
The Company is not subject to the takeover regulations set out in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, or otherwise.
The Shares are, however, subject to the provisions on compulsory transfer of Shares as set out in the Norwegian Private Companies Act. If a private limited liability company alone, or through subsidiaries, owns 9/10 or more of the Shares in the subsidiary, and may exercise a corresponding part of the votes that may be cast in the general meeting, the Board of Directors of the parent company may resolve that the parent company shall take over the remaining Shares in the company. Each of the other shareholders in the subsidiary would also have the right to require the parent company to take over their Shares. The parent company shall give the shareholders a redemption offer pursuant to the provisions of the Norwegian Private Companies Act. The redemption amount will in the absence of agreement or acceptance of the offer be fixed by a discretionary valuation.
Set out below is a summary of certain Norwegian tax matters related to an investment in the Company. The summary regarding Norwegian taxation is based on the laws in force in Norway as of the date of this Information Document, which may be subject to any changes in law occurring after such date. Such changes could possibly be made on a retrospective basis.
The following summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of the Shares in the Company. Shareholders who wish to clarify their own tax situation should consult with and rely upon their own tax advisers. Shareholders resident in jurisdictions other than Norway and shareholders who cease to be resident in Norway for tax purposes (due to domestic tax law or tax treaty) should specifically consult with and rely upon their own tax advisers with respect to the tax position in their country of residence and the tax consequences related to ceasing to be resident in Norway for tax purposes. Tax legislation in prospective investor's country of residence and Norwegian legislation may have an impact on the income received from the Shares.
Please note that for the purpose of the summary below, a reference to a Norwegian or non-Norwegian Shareholder refers to the tax residency rather than the nationality of the shareholder.
Dividends received by shareholders who are individuals resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Norwegian Personal Shareholders") are taxable as ordinary income in Norway at an effective rate of currently 37.84% to the extent the dividend exceeds a tax-free allowance; i.e. dividends received, less the tax-free allowance, shall be multiplied by 1.72 and the product is included as ordinary income taxable at a flat rate of 22%.
The tax-free allowance is calculated annually on a share-by-share basis and pertains to the owner of the share at the expiration of the relevant calendar year. The allowance for each share is equal to the cost price of the share multiplied by a risk-free interest rate based on the effective rate of interest on treasury bills (Nw.: statskasseveksler) with three months maturity plus 0.5 percentage point, after tax.
Norwegian Personal Shareholders who transfer Shares will thus not be entitled to deduct any calculated tax-free allowance related to the year of transfer.
Any part of the calculated tax-free allowance one year exceeding the dividend distributed on the Shares ("excess allowance") may be carried forward and set off against future dividends received on, or gains upon realisation of, the same Shares, and will be added to the basis for calculating the tax-free allowance.
The Shares do not qualify for ownership through a Norwegian Share Savings Account.
Dividends distributed from the Company to shareholders who are limited liability companies (and certain similar entities) resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Norwegian Corporate Shareholders"), are effectively taxed at a rate of 0.66% (3% of dividend income from such Shares is included in the calculation of ordinary income for Norwegian Corporate Shareholders and ordinary income is subject to tax at a flat rate of 22%).
Dividends distributed to shareholders who are individuals not resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholders"), are as a general rule subject to withholding tax at a rate of 25%. The withholding tax rate of 25% is normally reduced through tax treaties between Norway and the country in which the Shareholder is resident. The withholding obligation lies with the company distributing the dividends and the Company assumes this obligation.
Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholders resident within the European Economic Area (the "EEA") for tax purposes may apply individually to Norwegian tax authorities for a refund of an amount corresponding to the calculated tax-free allowance on each individual share (please see Section 11.2.1 "Taxation of dividends—Norwegian Personal Shareholders" above). However, the deduction for the tax-free allowance does not apply in the event that the withholding tax rate, pursuant to an applicable tax treaty, leads to a lower taxation on the dividends than the withholding tax rate of 25% less the tax-free allowance.
If a Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholder is carrying on business activities in Norway and the Shares are effectively connected with such activities, the Shareholder will generally be subject to the same taxation of dividends as a Norwegian Personal Share, as described above.
Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholders who have suffered a higher withholding tax than set out in an applicable tax treaty may apply to the Norwegian tax authorities for a refund of the excess withholding tax deducted.
Dividends distributed to shareholders who are limited liability companies (and certain other entities) not resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders"), are as a general rule subject to withholding tax at a rate of 25%. The withholding tax rate of 25% is normally reduced through tax treaties between Norway and the country in which the shareholder is resident, provided that the shareholder is the beneficial owner of the Shares.
Dividends distributed to Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders resident within the EEA for tax purposes are exempt from Norwegian withholding tax provided that the shareholder is genuinely established and performs genuine economic business activities within the relevant EEA jurisdiction.
If a Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholder is carrying on business activities in Norway and the Shares are effectively connected with such activities, the shareholder will generally be subject to the same taxation of dividends as a Norwegian Corporate Shareholder, as described above.
Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders who are exempt from withholding tax or have suffered a higher withholding tax than set out in an applicable tax treaty may apply to the Norwegian tax authorities for a refund of the excess withholding tax deducted.
Nominee registered Shares will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 25% unless the nominee has obtained approval from the Norwegian tax authorities for the dividend to be subject to a lower withholding tax rate. To obtain such approval the nominee must agree that the nominee upon request from the tax authorities will file a summary to the tax authorities including all the beneficial owners that the nominee has registered to be subject to withholding tax at a reduced rate. The withholding obligation in respect of dividends distributed to Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders and on nominee registered Shares lies with the company distributing the dividends and the Company assumes this obligation.
Sale, redemption or other disposal of Shares is considered a realisation for Norwegian tax purposes. A capital gain or loss generated by a Norwegian Personal Shareholders through a disposal of Shares is taxable or tax deductible in Norway. The effective tax rate on gain or loss related to Shares realised by Norwegian Personal Shareholders is currently 37.84%; i.e. capital gains (less the tax-free allowance) and losses shall be multiplied by 1.72 which are then included in or deducted from the Norwegian Personal Shareholder's ordinary income in the year of disposal. Ordinary income is taxable at a rate of 22%. The factor increase of 1.72 therefore increase the effective tax rate on gains/losses realised by Norwegian Personal Shareholders to 37.84%.
The gain is subject to tax and the loss is tax deductible irrespective of the duration of the ownership and the Norwegian Personal Shareholder's percentage interest in the Company prior to the disposal.
The taxable gain/deductible loss is calculated per share as the difference between the consideration for the share and the Norwegian Personal Shareholder's cost price of the share, including costs incurred in relation to the acquisition or realisation of the share. From this capital gain, Norwegian Personal Shareholders are entitled to deduct a calculated tax-free allowance provided that such tax-free allowance has not already been used to reduce taxable dividend income. Please refer to Section 10.2 "Taxation of dividends—Norwegian Personal Shareholders" above for a description of the calculation of the allowance. The tax-free allowance may only be deducted in order to reduce a taxable gain, and cannot increase or produce a deductible loss, i.e. any unused allowance exceeding the capital gain upon the realisation of a share will be annulled.
If the Norwegian Personal Shareholder owns Shares acquired at different points in time, the Shares that were acquired first will be regarded as the first to be disposed of, on a first-in first-out basis.
The Shares do not qualify for ownership through a Norwegian Share Savings Account.
Norwegian Corporate Shareholders are exempt from tax on capital gains derived from the realisation of Shares qualifying for exemption, including Shares in the Company. Losses upon the realisation and costs incurred in connection with the purchase and realisation of such Shares are not deductible for tax purposes.
Gains from the sale or other disposal of Shares by a Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholders will not be subject to taxation in Norway unless the Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholders holds the Shares in connection with business activities carried out or managed from Norway or, on specific conditions, when the shares are held by a Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholder who has been a resident of Norway for tax purposes with unsettled/postponed exit tax calculated on the Shares at the time of cessation as Norwegian tax resident.
Capital gains derived by the sale or other realisation of Shares by Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders are not subject to taxation in Norway unless the Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholder holds the Shares in connection with business activities carried out or managed from Norway.
The value of Shares is included in the basis for the computation of net wealth tax imposed on Norwegian Personal Shareholders. The marginal net wealth tax rate is currently 1.1% of the value assessed. The value for assessment purposes for Euronext Growth Oslo listed Shares is equal to 80% of the proportion of the total tax value of the company as at 1 January of the year before the tax assessment year attributable to each share, on the basis of the nominal value of such share.
Norwegian Corporate Shareholders are not subject to net wealth tax.
Shareholders not resident in Norway for tax purposes are not subject to Norwegian net wealth tax. Non-Norwegian Personal Shareholders can, however, be taxable if the holding of Shares is effectively connected to the conduct of trade or business in Norway.
No VAT, stamp or similar duties are currently imposed in Norway on the transfer or issuance of Shares.
A transfer of Shares through inheritance or as a gift does not give rise to inheritance or gift tax in Norway. However, the heir acquires the donor's tax input value based on principles of continuity. Thus, the heir will be taxable for any increase in value during the donor's ownership period, at the time of the heir's realisation of the share.
This Information Document is not an offer of Shares and no Shares may be subscribed for, applied for or purchased based on this Information Document.
As a consequence of possible restrictions under local securities laws and regulations, prospective investors are advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or other transfer of the Shares admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo.

Accordingly, if an investor receives a copy of this Information Document, the investor should not distribute or send the same, or transfer Shares, to any person or in or into any jurisdiction where to do so would or might contravene local securities laws or regulations.

AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ACE DIGITAL AS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
924665297
Regnskapsår 01.01.2024 - 31.12.2024
Ace Digital AS driver virksomhet innen analyse og rådgivning samt kjøp og oppbevaring av bitcoin og derivater relatert til bitcoin, herunder opsjoner. Målet er å øke bitcoin per aksje til fordel for aksjonærene. Selskapet har i 2024 kjøpt og solgt bitcoin på egen balanse og kjøp og solgt opsjoner på bitcoin hvis formål har vært å redusere tap ved verdifall på bitcoin.
Med dokumentert kompetanse innen finans, kryptovaluta og derivater bygger Ace Digital videre på økende momentum. Våre hovedprioriteringer for 2025 er å tiltrekke kapital, skalere investeringene og styrke organisasjonen gjennom rekruttering av toppkompetanse og spesialister.
Som en del av denne vekststrategien forbereder vi en notering på Euronext Growth Oslo i løpet av 2025. Med hovedmål om å få tilgang til kapitalmarkedene, vil noteringen styrke vår markedsposisjon, åpne for nye strategiske partnerskap og gi flere investorer tilgang til det digitale aktivamarkedet.
Fremover vil Ace Digital gå fra oppbygging til gjennomføring i tråd med våre tre strategiske hovedprioriteringer:
Første halvår 2025 har allerede vist vår evne til å gjennomføre strategien. Vi har gått fra gjeldsfinansierte til egenkapitalfinansierte investeringer, og har sikret våre første strategiske markedsposisjoner. Fremover vil vi ha særlig fokus på å styrke organisasjonen for å øke Ace Digitals gjennomslagskraft og skape varige verdier for våre investorer og øvrige interessenter.
Årsresultatet i 2024 etter skatt viser et overskudd på kr 26 789, mot et underskudd på kr 39 540 i 2023. Selskapet hadde per 31.12.2024 en negativ egenkapital på kr 7 756, som følge av akkumulerte underskudd fra tidligere år. Før avleggelse av årsregnskapet er det gjennomført en kapitalforhøyelse, se eget punkt 8 Hendelser etter balansedagen.
Etter styrets vurdering gir årsregnskapet en tilfredsstillende beskrivelse av selskapets stilling ved årsskiftet.
Selskapet er eksponert for ulike typer risiko som kan påvirke den finansielle stillingen og evnen til å nå sine strategiske mål. Nedenfor følger en redegjørelse for de mest vesentlige risikofaktorene:
Selskapets finansielle risiko er primært knyttet til betydelige verdiendringer i bitcoin beholdning. Bitcoin kan være preget av høy volatilitet og kan svinge kraftig i verdi over korte tidsperioder. Slike svingninger kan ha vesentlig innvirkning på selskapets resultat og egenkapital. Selskapet bruker
bitcoin opsjoner aktivt med hensikt å begrense nedsidesiderisiko. Selskapet er noe eksponert for renterisiko gjennom ekstern gjeld. Finansiell risiko vurderes å være moderat.
Selskapet er eksponert for markedsrisiko knyttet til prisen på bitcoin og tilhørende derivatker. Markedsverdien påvirkes av en rekke faktorer, inkludert tilbud og etterspørsel, regulatoriske endringer, teknologiske utviklingstrekk, markedspsykologi og global makroøkonomi. Markedet for kryptovaluta er fortsatt umodent og kan være utsatt for plutselige og uforutsigbare bevegelser. Selskapet er i en oppstartfase med begrensede kapitalplasseringer i bitcoin har vært utsatt for betydelige kurssvingninger. Markedsrisikoen vurderes å være middels til høy.
Kredittrisikoen er primært knyttet til risiko for tap dersom en bankforbindelse, handelspart, børs eller depotløsning ikke oppfyller sine forpliktelser. Selskapet benytter kun etablerte og anerkjente handelsplattformer og gjennomfører løpende vurderinger av motparters soliditet og omdømme. Gjennom 2024 har 50-70 % av selskapets eiendeler vært plassert som bankinnskudd hos DNB. Kredittrisikoen anses som lav til moderat.
Likviditetsrisikoen er knyttet til muligheten for å realisere investeringer og sikre likviditet til å møte selskapets forpliktelser etter hvert som de forfaller. Til tross for at bitcoin normalt handles i et likvid marked, kan det i perioder med markedsuro oppstå lavere omsettelighet og økte spreader. Opsjoner kan være mindre likvide. Selskapet har etablert rutiner for løpende overvåking av kontantstrøm og likviditetssituasjon, samt for å sikre tilstrekkelig likvid buffer. Selskapet har tilfredsstillende likviditet, og investeringer kan likvideres daglig. Etter balansedato per 31.12.2024 er kortsiktig gjeld vesentlig redusert, og en kapitalforhøyelse er gjennomført. Likviditetsrisikoen vurderes som lav.
Ace Digital har fokus på digitale aktiva og selskapet er således eksponert for operasjonell risiko og cybersikkerhetsrisiko, særlig knyttet til oppbevaring, overføringer og hacking av Bitcoin. Cybersikkerhet er derfor en høyt prioritert oppgave for Ace Digital. Ettersom transaksjoner i Bitcoinøkosystemet ikke kan reverseres, er det avgjørende med sterke sikkerhetstiltak. Risikoen for hacking eller teknisk svikt overvåkes nøye av selskapet, og Ace Digital gjennomgår og forbedrer jevnlig sine sikkerhetsrutiner. Bortfall av ledende ansatte og menneskelig feil vil være en risiko i alle organisasjoner og selskapet arbeider kontinuerlig med effektive back-up løsninger og generell intern risikokontroll for å identifisere denne type trusler. Samlet sett vurderes disse risikoene som tilstrekkelig håndtert.
Selskapets juridiske risiko er først og fremst knyttet til å følge gjeldende lover og forskrifter, og endringer av disse, som inngår i den daglige driften av selskapet. Samt å ha et bevist forhold til avtaleverket mellom relevante motparter. Selskapet påstår i dag å ha den nødvendige kompetanse og erfaring gjennom sin bemanning i organisasjonsstrukturen til å etterleve dette tilfredsstillende. Utarbeidelse og kontinuerlig oppdateringen av interne rutiner skal blant annet være med på å minimere selskapets juridiske risiko. Juridisk risiko vurderes som lav.
Regulatorisk risiko omfatter risikoen for negative konsekvenser for Ace Digitals virksomhel som følge av endringer i lover, forskrifter eller tilsynspraksis. Selskapet opererer i et dynamisk regulatorisk landskap, særlig knyttet til kryptovaluta og finansielle tjenester, og endringer i dette kan påvirke selskapets forretningsmodell, operasjonelle praksis eller lønnsomhet.
Med innføringen av Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA)-regelverket i EU/EØS, forventes det at også Norge vil implementere denne lovgivningen. MiCA kan påvirke selskapets aktiviteter, inkludert oppbevaring og utbetaling av Bitcoin til kreditorer. Ace Digital følger utviklingen tett og tilpasser sine prosesser for å sikre etterlevelse av de kommende kravene. Selskapet har igangsatt tiltak for å vurdere og implementere nødvendige endringer i sin drift for å møte MiCAs bestemmelser.
Selskapets handelsaktiviteter i Bitcoin er vurdert i forhold til Alternative Investment Fund (AlF)loven og tilhørende forskrifter, som er harmonisert på EU/EØS-nivå, men kan tolkes og praktiseres ulikt i ulike jurisdiksjoner. Basert på vurderinger fra selskapets ledelse og juridiske rådgivere, anses Ace Digital å være i samsvar med gjeldende regelverk. For å styrke regulatorisk etterlevelse og operasjonell fleksibilitet planlegger selskapet å etablere et heleid datterselskap registrert som et alternativt investeringsfond (AIF). Dette vil isolere Bitcoinhandelsaktivitetene og sikre økt transparens og compliance.
Ace Digital overvåker kontinuerlig regulatoriske endringer og tilsynspraksis i Norge og andre EU/EØSland. For å minimere risiko knyttet til potensielt strengere nasjonale tolkninger av regelverket, vurderer selskapet å flytte deler av virksomheten til en annen EU/EØS-jurisdiksjon dersom dette anses hensiktsmessig. Selskapet samarbeider tett med juridiske og regulatoriske eksperter for å sikre proaktiv tilpasning til endringer i det regulatoriske landskapet.
Selskapet hadde ingen ansatte 31.12.24 og styret besto av et medlem.
Selskapet har i løpet av regnskapsåret gjennomført forsknings- og utviklingsaktiviteter knyttet til sin virksomhet. Kostnadene til disse aktivitetene er resultatført løpende, og er ikke aktivert i balansen. Aktivitetene har primært vært rettet mot analyse av prisdannelse og mønstergjenkjenning i bitcoinmarkedet, samt anvendelse og risikovurdering av derivatinstrumenter for bitcoin. Utviklingsarbeidet har i hovedsak vært knyttet til videreutvikling og kommersialisering av selskapets kompetanse og erfaring innen Bitcoin-økosystemet med hensyn til rådgivningstjenester, foredragsvirksomhet og utvikling av interne analyseverktøy og investeringsstrategier.
Selskapets aktiviteter har svært liten påvirkning på det ytre miljø.
Det er ikke tegnet forsikring for styret overfor selskapet eller tredjeparter. Selskapet planlegger å tegne slik forsikring i 2. halvår 2025.
Etter balansedato, den 19. mai 2025, er det gjennomført en kapitalforhøyelse. Aksjekapitalen ble økt med kr 62 108 ved utstedelse av 62 180 265 nye aksjer til tegningskurs på kr 0,70 per aksje, hvorav kr 0,001 utgjør aksjekapital og kr 0,699 utgjør overkurs. Kapitaløkningen ble gjennomført ved bankinnskudd på kr 39 386 898 og konvertering av kortsiktig gjeld på kr 4 088 886, totalt
ACE DIGITAL AS 924 665 297
kr 43 475 784. I forbindelse med kapitalforhøyelsen ble det utstedt 6 210 826 frittstående tegningsretter til Ace Asset Management AS med forfall 19. mai 2030 og tegningskurs på kr 0,70 per aksje.
Varelager er delvis solgt etter balansedato.
Per regnskapsdato har selskapet gjort opp alt kortsiktig lån på kr 11,3 mill som var selskapet hadde pr 31.12.2024.
Etter balansedato er det besluttet å planlegge for en mulig notering på Euronext Growth ved Oslo Børs eller en annen nordisk MTF. Estimerte kostnader til revisjon, juridisk bistand, listing agent og finansiell og juridisk due diligence knyttet til noteringen er estimert til 2-3 mill. kroner.
Selskapet har ansatt en daglig leder og en CFO/IR i 2025 og per utgangen av juni 2025 er det følgelig 2 ansatte og selskapet planlegger å utvide styret til 3 personer. Selskapet forventer ytterligere ansettelser
Selskapet forventer å øke bruken av interne ressurser på FoU tilknyttet bitcoin-relaterte produkter og tjenester i fremtiden og vil fortløpende vurdere om noe av denne aktiviteten bør systematiseres og aktiveres.
Selskapet har i februar 2025 utbetalt siste resterende kr 150.000 for opsjonen til å kjøpe B-aksjene i Ace Funds AS.
Årsregnskapet viser en negativ egenkapital på – 7 756 kroner. Det skyldes i hovedsak akkumulerte underskudd fra tidligere år.

Til Generalforamlingen i Ace Digital AS
Vi har revidert selskapet Ace Digital AS' årsregnskap som viser et overskudd på kr 26 789. Årsregnskapet 2024 består av består av årsberetning, resultatregnskap, balanse per 31. desember 2024 og kontantstrømoppstilling for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.
Etter vår mening
Denne revisjonsberetning erstatter tidligere avgitt revisjonsberetning, signert 06.06.2025. Ledelsen i selskapet har avgitt nytt årsregnskap, som følge av kravene til å få selskapet registrert på Euronext Growth Oslo, ref. pkt. 8 i årsberetningen.
Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet i Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjon av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet slik det kreves i lov, forskrift og International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (inkludert internasjonale uavhengighetsstandarder) utstedt av the International Ethics Standard Board for Accountants (IESBA-reglene), og vi har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Innhentet revisjonsbevis er etter vår vurdering tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Styret (ledelsen) er ansvarlig for øvrig informasjon. Øvrig informasjon består av informasjon i årsberetningen, men inkluderer ikke årsregnskapet og revisjonsberetningen.
I forbindelse med revisjonen av årsregnskapet er det vår oppgave å lese årsberetningen. Formålet er å vurdere hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig inkonsistens mellom årsberetningen, og årsregnskapet og den kunnskap vi har opparbeidet oss under revisjonen av årsregnskapet, eller hvorvidt informasjon i årsberetningen ellers fremstår som vesentlig feil. Vi har plikt til å rapportere dersom årsberetningen fremstår som vesentlig feil. Vi har ingenting å rapportere i så henseende.
Basert på kunnskapen vi har opparbeidet oss i revisjonen, mener vi at årsberetningen er konsistent med årsregnskapet og inneholder de opplysninger som skal gis i henhold til gjeldene lovkrav.
Styret og daglig leder (ledelsen) er ansvarlig for å utarbeide årsregnskapet og for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik intern kontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.
Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.
Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med lov, forskrift og god revisjonsskikk i Norge, herunder ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.

Etter styrets vurdering gir årsregnskapet en tilfredsstillende beskrivelse av selskapets stilling ved årsskiftet.
Finansiell risiko: Selskapet er noe eksponert for renterisiko gjennom ekstern gjeld, Finansiell risiko vurderes å være moderat.
Markedsrisiko: Selskapet er i en oppstartfase med begrensede kapitalplasseringer i bitcoin har vært utsatt for betydelige kurssvingninger. Markedsrisikoen vurderes å være middels til høy.
Kredittrisiko: Kredittrisikoen er primært knyttet til bankforbindelser og kryptobørsers evne til å oppfylle sine forpliktelser. Gjennom 2024 har 50-70 % av selskapets eiendeler vært plassert som bankinnskudd hos DNB. Kredittrisikoen anses som lav til moderat.
Likviditetsrisiko: Selskapet har tilfredsstillende likviditet, og investeringer kan likvideres daglig, Likviditetsrisikoen vurderes som lav.
Ace Digital har fokus på digitale aktiva og selskapet er således eksponert for operasjonell risiko og cybersikkerhetsrisiko, særlig knyttet til oppbevaring, overføringer og hacking av Bitcoin. Cybersikkerhet er derfor en høyt prioritert oppgave for Ace Digital.
Selskapets juridiske risiko er først og fremst knyttet til å følge gjeldende lover og forskrifter, og endringer av disse, som inngår i den daglige driften av selskapet. Samt å ha et bevist forhold til avtaleverket mellom relevante motparter.
Regulatorisk risiko omfatter risikoen for negative konsekvenser for Ace Digitals virksomhet som følge av endringer i lover, forskrifter eller tilsynspraksis. Selskapet opererer i et dynamisk regulatorisk landskap, særlig knyttet til kryptovaluta og finansielle tjenester, og endringer i dette kan påvirke selskapets forretningsmodell, operasjonelle praksis eller lønnsomhet.
Selskapet hadde ingen ansatte per balansedato og styret består av et medlem. Per juni 2025 er det 2 ansatte og selskapet planlegger å utvide styret til 2 eller 3 personer.
Selskapet har ikke hatt forsknings- og utviklingsaktiviteter i 2023. Selskapet har per regnskapsdato påbegynt forsknings- og utviklingsaktiviteter tilknyttet bitcoin-relaterte produkter og tjenester.
Selskapets aktiviteter har svært liten påvirkning på det ytre miljø,
Det er ikke tegnet forsikring for styret overfor selskapet eller tredjeparter. Selskapet planlegger å tegne slik forsikring i 2. halvår 2025.
Styret bekrefter at forutsetningen om fortsatt drift er oppfylt, og årsregnskapet er utarbeidet på dette grunnlaget.
Årets underskudd etter skatt på kr 39 540 føres mot udekket tap.

Til Generalforamlingen i Ace Digital AS
Vi har revidert selskapet Ace Digital AS' årsregnskap som viser et underskudd på kr 39 540. Årsregnskapet 2023 består av består av årsberetning, resultatregnskap, balanse per 31. desember 2023 og kontantstrømoppstilling for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.
Etter vår mening
Denne revisjonsberetning erstatter tidligere avgitt revisjonsberetning, signert 06.06.2025. Ledelsen i selskapet har avgitt nytt årsregnskap, som følge av kravene til å få selskapet registrert på Euronext Growth Oslo.
Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet i Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjon av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet slik det kreves i lov, forskrift og International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (inkludert internasjonale uavhengighetsstandarder) utstedt av the International Ethics Standard Board for Accountants (IESBA-reglene), og vi har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Innhentet revisjonsbevis er etter vår vurdering tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.
Øvrig informasjon

Styret (ledelsen) er ansvarlig for øvrig informasjon. Øvrig informasjon består av informasjon i årsberetningen, men inkluderer ikke årsregnskapet og revisjonsberetningen.
I forbindelse med revisjonen av årsregnskapet er det vår oppgave å lese årsberetningen. Formålet er å vurdere hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig inkonsistens mellom årsberetningen, og årsregnskapet og den kunnskap vi har opparbeidet oss under revisjonen av årsregnskapet, eller hvorvidt informasjon i årsberetningen ellers fremstår som vesentlig feil. Vi har plikt til å rapportere dersom årsberetningen fremstår som vesentlig feil. Vi har ingenting å rapportere i så henseende.
Basert på kunnskapen vi har opparbeidet oss i revisjonen, mener vi at årsberetningen er konsistent med årsregnskapet og inneholder de opplysninger som skal gis i henhold til gjeldene lovkrav.
Styret og daglig leder (ledelsen) er ansvarlig for å utarbeide årsregnskapet og for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik intern kontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.
Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.
Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med lov, forskrift og god revisjonsskikk i Norge, herunder ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.
