Sandnes, Norway, 25 September 2025. Reference is made to the previous stock

exchange announcements published by Desert Control AS (the "Company") regarding

the fully underwritten rights issue of 60,743,500 new shares in the Company (the

"Offer Shares"), each with a nominal value of NOK 0.003 at a subscription price

of 1.2347 per Offer Share (the "Subscription Price"), to raise gross proceeds of

NOK 75 million (the "Rights Issue").

The subscription period for the Rights Issue (the "Subscription Period") expired

24 September 2025 at 16:30 hours (CEST). At the expiry of the subscription

period in the Rights Issue, the Company had received subscriptions for a total

of 85,718,082 Offer Shares. A total of 60,743,500 Offer Shares were offered

under the Rights Issue, and the Rights Issue was accordingly oversubscribed by

approximately 41.11%.

The final allocation of the Offer Shares in the Rights Issue has now been

completed based on the allocation criteria set out in national prospectus dated

5 September 2025 prepared by the Company in connection with the Rights Issue

(the "Prospectus").

A total of 46,798,940 Offer Shares were allocated based on valid subscriptions

from investors with granted and acquired subscription rights, and 13,944,560

Offer Shares were allocated to subscribers who have exercised their subscription

rights and over-subscribed, on a pro rata basis based on the number of

subscriptions rights exercised by each over-subscriber. No allocation of Offer

Shares has been made to the underwriters in the Rights Issue based on their

underwriting. Approximately 77.04% of the subscription rights granted in the

Rights Issue were exercised.

Notification of allocated Offer Shares and the corresponding subscription amount

to be paid by each subscriber is expected to be made available in the VPS on or

about 25 September 2025. Payment for the allocated Offer Shares falls due on 30

September 2025 in accordance with the payment procedures described in the

Prospectus.

The Offer Shares may not be transferred or traded before they have been fully

paid and the share capital increase pertaining to the Rights Issue has been

registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises (the "NRBE").

Subject to timely payment of the aggregate subscription amount in the Rights

Issue, it is expected that the share capital increase will be registered in the

NRBE on or about 6 October 2025. The Offer Shares are expected to be delivered

to the VPS accounts of the subscribers and admitted to trading on Euronext

Growth Oslo on or about 6 October 2025.
