Oslo, 25 November 2024: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement

published by Vow ASA (the "Company") on 19 November 2024 regarding the approval

by the extraordinary general meeting of the Company of a fully underwritten

rights issue of 166,666,666 new shares in the Company, at a subscription price

of NOK 1.50 per share (the "Rights Issue").

Reference is further made to the stock exchange announcement of 22 November

2024 regarding the approval by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway

(Nw. Finanstilsynet) of the prospectus prepared by the Company (the

"Prospectus") for the offer and listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange of

166,666,666 offer shares in the Rights Issue (the "Offer Shares") and the

listing of 9,910,929 new shares to be issued in connection with the settlement

of the underwriting fee to the underwriters. Subject to applicable local

securities laws, the Prospectus, including the subscription form for the Rights

Issue, is made available at www.dnb.no/emisjoner (http://www.dnb.no/emisjoner),

www.paretosec.com/transactions (http://www.paretosec.com/transactions) and

www.sb1markets.no/transaksjoner (http://www.sb1markets.no/transaksjoner).

The subscription period for the Rights Issue will commence today, 25 November

2024, at 09:00 hours (CET) and expire on 9 December 2024 at 16:30 hours (CET)

(the "Subscription Period"). The Subscription Rights (as defined below) will be

tradable on the Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker code "VOWT" from today, 25

November 2024, at 09:00 hours (CET) until 3 December 2024 at 16:30 hours (CET).

Allocation of Subscription Rights: Shareholders of the Company as of 20 November

2024 (and being registered as such in Euronext Securities Oslo, the Norwegian

Central Securities Depository (the "CSD") as of 22 November 2024 pursuant to the

two days' settlement procedure of CSD (the "Record Date", and such shareholders,

the "Existing Shareholders")), have been granted tradable subscription rights

(the "Subscription Rights") in the Rights Issue.

Each Existing Shareholder has been granted 1.464117 Subscription Rights for each

existing share in the Company registered as held by the Existing Shareholder of

the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole Subscription Right. Each

Subscription Right will, subject to applicable law, give the right to subscribe

for, and be allocated one (1) new share at the subscription price. Over-

subscription (i.e. subscription for more Offer Shares than the number of

Subscription Rights held by the subscriber entitles the subscriber to be

allocated) will not be permitted. Subscription without Subscription Rights will

only be permitted for the underwriters.

The allocation to, or acquisition of Subscription Rights by, and the

subscription of Offer Shares by, persons resident in, or who are citizens of

countries other than Norway, may be affected by the laws of the relevant

jurisdiction. For a further description of such restrictions, reference is made

to the introductory part on page (i)-(ii) and Section 13 "Selling and Transfer

Restrictions" of the Prospectus.

Subscription Rights: The Subscription Rights will be listed and tradable on the

Oslo Stock Exchange from 09:00 hours (CET) on 25 November 2024 to 16:30 hours

(CET) on 3 December 2024 under the ticker code "VOWT". The Subscription Rights

will hence only be tradable during a part of the Subscription Period.

Subscription Rights that are (i) not sold before 16:30 hours (CET) on 3 December

2024 or (ii) not used to subscribe for shares in the Rights Issue prior to

expiry of the Subscription Period on 9 December 2024 at 16:30 hours (CET) will

lapse without compensation to the holder, and thus be without value.

The Subscription Rights are expected to have an economic value if the Company's

shares trade above the Subscription Price during the Subscription Period.

Existing Shareholders who do not exercise their Subscription Rights will

experience a dilution of their shareholding in the Company. See Section 5.7

"Subscription Rights" and 5.28 "Dilution" in the Prospectus for further

information.

The underwriting: The Company's largest shareholder, DNB Bank ASA, has pre-

committed to subscribe for its pro-rata share of the Rights Issue, corresponding

to an amount of NOK 64,170,000, without receiving any fee or other form of

consideration. Further, three existing shareholders and seven external investors

have pursuant to separate subscription and underwriting agreements pre-committed

and underwritten an amount of NOK 185,830,000 in the Rights Issue. Consequently,

the entire Rights Issue of NOK 250 million is guaranteed. Offer Shares shall be

subscribed by, and allocated to, the underwriters pursuant to their respective

underwriting commitments. The underwriters' subscription and underwriting

commitment is made on a pro rata basis based on their respective underwritten

amount, and is subject to certain customary conditions for such commitments as

further described in Section 5.21 "The Underwriting and Pre-commitment" of the

Prospectus.

The payment date in the Rights Issue is 12 December 2024. Subject to timely

payment of the Offer Shares subscribed for and allocated in the Rights Issue,

the issuance and delivery of the Offer Shares in the Rights Issue is expected to

be completed on or about 19 December 2024. The Offer Shares are expected to

commence trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange on 19 December 2024.

Global Coordinators & Bookrunners, while SpareBank 1 Markets AS is acting as Co-

manager (together with the Global Coordinators, the "Managers"), for the Rights

Issue. Advokatfirmaet Thommessen AS is acting as legal advisor to the Company.
