required to be disclosed under the laws of a member state

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

OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, THE HONG KONG SPECIAL

ADMINISTRATIVE REGION OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA OR JAPAN, OR ANY OTHER

JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

SmartCraft ASA - Stabilization and over-allotment notice

Oslo, 24 June 2021. Reference is made to the announcement made on 22 June 2021

whereby SmartCraft ASA ("SmartCraft" or the "Company", OSE ticker code "SMCRT")

announced the successful completion of the initial public offering of shares in

the Company (the "Offering" or the "IPO").

ABG Sundal Collier ASA ("ABGSC" or the "Stabilization Manager") may, on behalf

of the Managers (as defined below), engage in stabilization activities from

today, 24 June 2021, to and including, 23 July 2021 (the "Stabilization

Period"). Any stabilization transactions will be aimed to support the market

price of the SmartCraft shares.

In connection with the Offering, the Managers have over-allotted a total of

6,179,775 shares in the Company to the applicants in the Offering, equalling

approximately 10% of the total number of new shares issued by the Company and

sale shares sold by existing shareholders in the Offering before

over-allotments.

In order to permit delivery in respect of the over-allotments made, Valedo

Partners III AB (being a selling shareholder in the Offering) has lent to the

Stabilization Manager, on behalf of the Managers, a number of existing shares in

the Company equal to the number of over-allotted shares. For further details on

over-allotment and stabilization activities, please see the prospectus dated 14

June 2021 prepared by the Company (the "Prospectus").

Further, the Company has granted to the Stabilization Manager, on behalf of the

Managers, a greenshoe option to purchase up to 6,179,775 new shares to be issued

by the Company at a price per share of NOK 17.80, which is equal to the offer

price in the Offering (the "Offer Price"). The greenshoe option is exercisable,

in whole or in part, by the Stabilization Manager, on behalf of the Managers,

within the Stabilization Period. The Stabilization Manager may close out the

short position created by over-allotting shares in the Offering by purchasing

shares in the open market through stabilization activities and/or by exercising

the greenshoe option.

The Stabilization Manager may effect transactions with a view to supporting the

market price of the SmartCraft shares at a level higher than what might

otherwise prevail, by buying shares in SmartCraft in the open market at prices

equal to or lower than (but not above) the Offer Price. There is no obligation

on the Stabilization Manager to conduct stabilization activities and there can

be no assurance that stabilization activities will be undertaken. If

stabilization activities are undertaken, they may be discontinued at any time,

and must be brought to an end upon or before expiry of the Stabilization Period.

Any stabilization activities will be conducted based on the principles set out

in the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, as implemented into

Norwegian law by Section 3-1 (3) of the Norwegian Securities Trading Regulation,

regarding buy-back programs and stabilization of financial instruments.

If stabilization activities are undertaken, information on the activities will

be published no later than seven trading days following such transaction(s).

Further, within one week after the expiry of the 30 calendar day period of price

stabilization, the Stabilization Manager will publish information as to whether

or not price stabilization activities were undertaken. If stabilization

activities were undertaken, the statement will also include information about:

(i) the total amount of shares sold and purchased; (ii) the dates on which the

stabilization period began and ended; (iii) the price range between which

stabilization was carried out, as well as the highest, lowest and average price

paid during the stabilization period; and (iv) the date at which stabilization

activities last occurred.

ABGSC and Carnegie AS are acting as joint global coordinators and joint

bookrunners in the IPO and Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG is acting as joint

bookrunner (collectively, the "Managers"). Advokatfirmaet Thommessen AS is

acting as legal counsel to the Company. Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS is acting as

legal counsel to the Managers.
