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

Oslo, Norway, 27 August 2025

Saga Pure ASA ("Saga Pure" or the "Company") has engaged Arctic Securities AS

(the "Manager") to advise on and effect a contemplated private placement in the

Company of 90 million new shares in the Company (the "New Shares") directed

certain existing shareholders of the Company, raising gross proceeds of

NOK 121.5 million (the "Private Placement"). The subscription price per New

Share (the "Offer Price") is NOK 1.35 per New Share.

The existing shareholder Tycoon Industrier AS (the "Underwriter") has, subject

to customary conditions, accepted to be allocated New Shares that are not

applied for during the Application Period (as defined below) for up to

NOK 121.5 million pursuant to the underwriting agreement entered into with the

Company (the "UWA"). In the case of applications from other existing

shareholders, during the application period in the Private Placement, the

Underwriter may be scaled back to its, including its affiliates', pro-rata share

to accommodate for such interest.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to (i) pursue the

Company's strategy (ii) to strengthen the Company's financial flexibility and

(iii) for general corporate purposes.

The application period for the Private Placement will commence today, on 27

August 2025 at 16:30 hours (CEST) and is expected to close no later than 28

August 2025 at 08:00 hours (CEST) (the "Application Period"). The Company, in

consultation with the Manager, reserves the right to at any time and in its sole

discretion resolve to close or extend the Application Period or to cancel the

Private Placement in its entirety without further notice. If the Application

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

amended accordingly.

The final number of New Shares will be determined at the end of the Application

Period, and the final allocation will be made at the sole discretion of the

Company's board of directors (the "Board" after consulting with the Manager.

Only existing shareholders of the Company or such shareholders' close associates

may receive allocation in the Private Placement. Further, allocation will be

based on criteria such as (but not limited to), existing direct or indirect

ownership in the Company, timelines of the application, relative order size,

sector knowledge, investment history, perceived investor quality and investment

horizon. There is no guarantee that any potential investor will be allocated New

Shares in the Private Placement.

Settlement of the New Shares will be facilitated on a delivery versus payment

(DVP) basis facilitated by a share lending agreement entered into between the

Company, the Manager and Tycoon Industrier AS (the "Share Lending Agreement").

Completion of the Private Placement is subject to (i) all necessary corporate

resolutions of the Company required to implement the Private Placement being

validly made, including the Board resolving to allocate and issue of the New

Shares by use of a board authorisation granted by the general meeting of the

Company held on 28 May 2024 (the "Authorisation"), (ii) the share capital

increase pertaining to the issuance of the allocated New Shares being validly

registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and the allocated

New Shares being validly issued and registered in VPS, (iii) the UWA remaining

in full force and effect, and the (iv) Share Lending Agreement remaining in full

force and effect. Neither the Company nor the Manager will be liable for any

losses incurred by applicants if the Private Placement is cancelled,

irrespective of the reason for such cancellation.

The Private Placement will be directed towards Norwegian and international

investors, subject to applicable exemptions from relevant registration, filing

and prospectus requirements, and subject to other applicable selling

restrictions. The minimum application and allocation amount has been set to the

NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000. The Company may however, at its sole discretion,

allocate amounts below EUR 100,000 to the extent exemptions from the prospectus

requirements in accordance with applicable regulations, including the Norwegian

Securities Trading Act and ancillary regulations, are available.

The Board has considered the contemplated Private Placement in light of the

equal treatment obligations under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Oslo

Børs' Circular no. 2/2014 and deems that the proposed Private Placement would be

in compliance with these requirements. The Board holds the view that it will be

in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders to raise equity

through a private placement, in view of the current market conditions and the

growth opportunities currently available to the Company. A private placement

enables the Company to raise capital in an efficient manner, and the Private

Placement is structured to ensure that a market-based subscription price is

achieved. In order to limit the dilutive effect of the Private Placement and to

facilitate equal treatment, the Board will consider carrying out a subsequent

offering directed towards shareholders who were not offered participation in the

Private Placement (see details below).

The Subsequent Offering

The Company may, subject to completion of the Private Placement, and certain

other conditions (including among others (i) approval by the Board, (ii) the

prevailing market price of the Company's shares being higher than the

Subscription Price and (iii) approval and publication of a prospectus (if

relevant)), propose to carry out a subsequent offering of New Shares at a

subscription price equal to the Subscription Price in the Private Placement (the

"Subsequent Offering") which, subject to applicable securities law, will be

directed towards existing shareholders in the Company as of 27 August 2025 (as

registered in VPS two trading days thereafter), who, (i) were not offered

participation in the Private Placement, and (ii) 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 Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to not conduct or

to cancel the Subsequent Offering.

Advisors

Arctic Securities AS are acting as manager and sole bookrunner in connection

with the Private Placement. Ro Sommernes Advokatfirma DA is acting as the

Company's legal advisor.
