NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR

INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN OR THE UNITED STATES

OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION

WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE

SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Arendal, Norway, 27 October 2025: Norse Atlantic ASA ("Norse Atlantic" or the

"Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully secured approximately

NOK 113.7 million in new equity through a private placement of 14,780,242 new

shares (the "Private Placement") towards selected strategic investors

("Participating Investors"), further widening the international shareholder

base, as well as the Company's two largest shareholders, B T Larsen & Co Ltd

("BTLCo") and Songa Capital AS ("Songa"). The subscription price in the Private

Placement was set at market price of NOK 7.6938 per share, equal to the volume

weighted average price (VWAP) over the three last trading days prior to the

Private Placement (the "Subscription Price").

Bjørn Tore Larsen, CEO of Norse Atlantic, comments: "This investment at current

market price is a clear validation of Norse Atlantic's progress as a leading

long-haul, low-cost airline with efficient operations. The commitment by leading

shareholders and new high-quality investors with extensive airline industry

knowledge, reflects strong confidence in Norse Atlantic's strategic development

and financial outlook.

We are now implementing our dual strategy business model from a position of

strength with record load factors year-to-date and a leaner cost base. The

proceeds from the placement further enhance our financial flexibility,

supporting our plan to deliver material cash flow and long-term value creation

for our shareholders".

The Private Placement

The new shares will, following their issuance, represent approx. 9.1% of the

Company's outstanding shares.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to further strengthen

the Company's financial position, as well as for general corporate purposes.

The Participating Investors in the Private Placement have in total subscribed

for 8,925,262 new shares; Futrono Investment Spa and related parties have

subscribed for 3,925,262 new shares; Estrella Del Sur Limitada have subscribed

for 2,500,000 new shares; and Mulina Overseas Corp have subscribed for 2,500,000

new shares.

Furthermore, BTLCo have subscribed for 4,354,980 new shares, and Songa have

subscribed for 1,500,000 new shares.

The Participating Investors intend to nominate one joint candidate to the board

of directors of Norse Atlantic (the "Board") at the Company's annual general

meeting to be held during the first half of 2026. In anticipation of the annual

general meeting, the Company has confirmed its willingness to accommodate board

representation for the Participating Investors by way of appointment of a board

observer. Any appointment of an observer will be publicly announced.

Share capital increase

In connection with the Private Placement, the Board has resolved to increase the

share capital of the Company with NOK 7,390,121 by the issuance of 14,780,242

new shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.50, pursuant to an authorization

granted by the Company's annual general meeting on 18 June 2025.

Equal treatment considerations - Subsequent Offering

The Private Placement entails a deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive

rights pursuant to Sections 10-4 and 10-5 of the Norwegian Public Limited

Companies Act. The Board has diligently considered that this deviation is in the

best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Moreover, the Board is of the

opinion that the Private Placement is in compliance with the equal treatment

obligations under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act section 5-14 and section

4 of the recommendations by the Norwegian code of corporate governance.

In its assessment, the Board emphasized that the Private Placement enables

efficient equity raising, deepens relationships with strategic investors, and

avoids financial dilution as shares are issued at the current market price of

the Company's shares.

To facilitate equal treatment, the Board will consider, subject to completion of

the Private Placement, relevant corporate resolutions, prevailing market price

and traded volume of the Company's shares and publication of a national

prospectus, that a subsequent offering (the "Subsequent Offering") is carried

out by the issuance of up to 12,092,853 new shares, at the Subscription Price,

which equals up to NOK 93.04 million in gross proceeds. The Board reserves the

right to limit the size of the Subsequent Offering to a number of shares which

equals a NOK amount equivalent to less than EUR 8 million in gross proceeds, in

accordance with the requirements for a national prospectus. If pursued, the

Subsequent Offering will be directed at shareholders of the Company as per 27

October 2025 (as registered with the VPS two trading days thereafter), excluding

the shareholders participating in the Private Placement, who are not resident in

a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or would (in jurisdictions

other than Norway) require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar

action (the "Eligible Shareholders"). The Eligible Shareholders will receive non

-transferrable subscription rights in the Subsequent Offering. Over-subscription

with subscription rights, as well as subscription without subscription rights,

will not be permitted in the Subsequent Offering. The subscription period for

the Subsequent Offering will commence following the publication of a national

prospectus, expected before year-end 2025.

Further information on any Subsequent Offering will be provided in a separate

stock exchange announcement.

The Board reserves the right in its sole discretion to not conduct or to cancel

the Subsequent Offering.
