Hexagon Composites ASA: Participation in Hexagon Purus' contemplated private placement

Hexagon Composites ASA announces that its listed subsidiary Hexagon Purus ASA

(HPUR) (the "Company") has engaged Carnegie AS and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken

AB (publ) Oslofilialen as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners in the

Private Placement (collectively the "Global Coordinators") and Sparebank1

Markets (together with Global Coordinators the "Managers") to advise on and

effect a contemplated private placement (the "Private Placement") of new

ordinary shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares"), raising gross proceeds of

approximately NOK 600 million (the "Private Placement"). The subscription price

per New Share in the Private Placement (the "Subscription Price") will be set by

the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") on the basis of an accelerated

book-building process conducted by the Managers.

Hexagon Purus is a world leading provider of hydrogen Type 4 high-pressure

cylinders, battery systems and vehicle integration for fuel cell electric and

battery electric vehicles. Hexagon Composites ASA ("Hexagon"), being the

Company's largest shareholder controlling 73% of the outstanding shares prior to

the Private Placement, has, subject to customary terms and conditions, pre-

subscribed for its pro-rata share or approximately NOK 440m of the Private

Placement at the subscription price determined through the book-building

process.

"The overall development of Hexagon Purus has significantly exceeded our

expectations since the spin off in December 2020. The Company has more than

doubled its year-over-year (organic) revenue growth, landed several landmark

customer contacts, carried out a transformative acquisition of Wystrach and

established a joint venture in China, the world's largest hydrogen market," says

Jon Erik Engeset, President & CEO Hexagon Composites.

"Hexagon is fully supportive of the Company's growth and expansion strategy, and

we are confident about the value creation potential from our Hexagon Purus

shareholding. Our intention, as previously stated, is to take Hexagon Purus to

the main list on the Oslo Stock Exchange before the summer of 2022."

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for:

* Cylinder and systems capacity expansion across geographies to meet customer

demand;

* Investments in automated manufacturing facility and technical center of

excellence in Kelowna, Canada to support and increase production capacity

for battery packs and hydrogen storage systems;

* Investments in production capacity in China to serve the fast-growing

Chinese market through the joint venture with CIMC Enric;

* Organizational scale-up to support continued technological development and

capacity expansion; and

* Working capital as well for general purposes.
