Norcod AS: Updated funding plan, private placement and new debt financing to secure further growth

Norcod AS: Updated funding plan, private placement and new debt financing to secure further growth

Reference is made to the Q4 2025 report from Norcod AS ("Norcod" or the

"Company") published on 26 February 2026, in which the Company announced that

it was evaluating various options regarding its financing structure in order

to achieve its communicated growth targets.

Norcod has explored available alternatives in the market in order to support

its continued growth and upscaling strategy. Potential funding alternatives

through the bond and private lending market have been considered, but the

terms available have not been sufficiently attractive. Consequently, an

updated funding plan has now been established which includes raising NOK 100

million in new equity through a private placement of new shares in the Company

(the "Private Placement"), in combination with up to NOK 170 million in new

debt financing secured through (i) expansion of existing credit facilities at

DNB Bank ASA and (ii) a new loan from Innovation Norway at an indicated amount

of NOK 50 million subject to final credit committee approval.

Overall, the updated funding plan positions the Company for scaling up the

biomass and reaching profitable operations during H2 2026.

The Company has received indications of interest from its main shareholders to

support and participate in the Private Placement. Based on these discussions,

the Company has determined that the subscription price per Offer Share in the

Private Placement will be NOK 10. The Private Placement is expected to take

place during Q2 2026. Further information on the Private Placement will be

announced in due course.

The Company has engaged DNB Carnegie, a part of DNB Bank ASA, as sole

bookrunner (the "Manager") in connection with the Private Placement.

Advokatfirmaet Haavind AS is acting as legal counsel to Norcod in connection

with the Private Placement.

Please refer to the attached company presentation for further details

regarding the Company and its growth targets.
