Hamilton, Bermuda, 20 October 2025

Bruton Limited (Euronext Growth Oslo: BRUT) (the "Company") hereby refers to

its press releases on 11 September 2025 and 13 October 2025 and announces that

it is launching a private placement (the "Private Placement") of the NOK

equivalent of up to USD 100 million in new Norwegian Depository Receipts

("NDRs") representing new underlying common shares on a one-to-one basis (the

"Private Placement Shares").

The subscription price per Private Placement Share (the "Offer Price"), will

be the NOK equivalent of USD 4.29. The final number and allocation of the

Private Placement Shares will be set in accordance with directions from the

Company's board of directors (the "Board") based on an accelerated

bookbuilding process conducted by the Managers (as defined below).

The underlying common shares represented by the new NDRs will be in the same

class as the existing underlying common shares in the Company represented by

existing NDRs, and will have par value of USD 0.10. Upon the issuance of the

Private Placement Shares, they will be recorded in Euronext Securities Oslo

("Euronext VPS") as NDRs and delivered to the subscribers in the Private

Placement.

The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to finance the Company's

newbuilding program, and general corporate purposes.

The bookbuilding period in the Private Placement (the "Bookbuilding Period")

commences today on 20 October at 09.00 (CEST) and closes on 22 October at

16.30 hours (CEST). The Company may, in its own discretion, extend or shorten

the Bookbuilding Period at any time and for any reason. If the Bookbuilding

Period is extended or shortened, any other dates referred to herein may be

amended accordingly.

The Company has received pre-commitments for the NOK equivalent of USD 11

million of Private Placement Shares from Drew Holdings Ltd. and the NOK

equivalent of USD 38 million from Koch Shipping Pte. Ltd.

The Private Placement will be directed towards Norwegian and international

investors subject to and in compliance with applicable exemptions from

relevant registration, filing and prospectus requirements, and subject to

other applicable selling restrictions. The minimum application and allocation

amount in the Private Placement has been set to the NOK amount equivalent to

EUR 100,000. The Company may, however, at its sole discretion, allocate an

amount below EUR 100,000 to the extent applicable exemptions from the

prospectus requirement pursuant to applicable regulations, including

Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "EU Prospectus Regulation") and ancillary

regulations, are available.

The conditional allocation of Private Placement Shares will be determined by

the Board at its sole discretion, in consultation with the Managers following

the expiry of the Bookbuilding Period. Delivery of the Private Placement

Shares allocated in the Private Placement is expected to be settled through a

delivery versus payment ("DVP"), expected on or about 27 October 2025. The

Private Placement Shares are expected to be pre-paid by the Managers, pursuant

to a pre-payment arrangement, to facilitate prompt issue of the Private

Placement Shares.

The completion of the Private Placement is subject to customary conditions,

including (i) all necessary corporate resolutions being validly made by the

Company, including the approval by the Board, and the Board's resolution to

allocate and issue the Private Placement Shares, and (ii) the issuance of the

Private Placement Shares in Euronext VPS having taken place (the

"Conditions"). The Company and the Managers reserve the right, at any time and

for any reason, to cancel and/or modify the terms of the Private Placement

without notice. Neither the Managers nor the Company will be liable for any

losses incurred by applicants if the Private Placement is cancelled or

modified, irrespective of the reason for such cancellation or modification.

The Board has carefully considered the structure of the equity raise in light

of the equal treatment considerations under Bermuda law. The Board is of the

view that it will be in the common interest of the Company and its

shareholders to raise equity through a private placement, in particular

because the Private Placement enables the Company to secure equity financing

to accommodate the Company's funding requirements. Further, a private

placement will reduce execution and completion risk, as it enables the Company

to raise equity efficiently and in a timely manner, with a lower discount to

the current trading price, at a lower cost and with a significantly reduced

completion risk compared to a rights issue. It has also been taken into

consideration that the Private Placement is based on a publicly announced

accelerated bookbuilding process.

Clarksons Securities AS is acting as Global Coordinator and Joint Bookrunner

and ABG Sundal Collier ASA, Arctic Securities AS, DNB Carnegie, a part of DNB

Bank ASA, and Fearnley Securities AS are acting as Joint Bookrunners (together

the "Managers"). Ro Sommernes advokatfirma DA is acting as legal advisor to

the Company in connection with the Private Placement.
