OSLO, NORWAY - 14 DECEMBER 2023 - Reference is made to the stock exchange

announcements published by Zwipe AS (the "Company") on 13 December 2023,

regarding the end of the subscription period and the preliminary results of a

rights issue of units, each consisting of one new share in the Company, each

with a nominal value of NOK 0.10 (the "Offer Shares") and one warrant of series

T01 (the "Warrants"), with preferential rights for existing shareholders per

unit (the "Units"), with preferential rights for existing shareholders raising

gross proceeds of approximately NOK 35.0 million (the "Rights Issue").

The Company received subscriptions for a total of 24,194,533 Units,

corresponding to approx. 41.4% of the Units, during the subscription period for

the Rights Issue.

The allocation of the Offer Shares and Warrants in the Rights Issue has now been

completed on the basis of the allocation criteria resolved by the extraordinary

general meeting of the Company in connection with the approval of the Rights

Issue, and as set out in the prospectus prepared for the Rights Issue dated 24

November 2023 (the "Prospectus").

The board of directors of the Company has allocated a total of 40,889,612 Offer

Shares and 40,889,612 Warrants in the Rights Issue, of which 24,194,533 Offer

Shares and 24,194,533 Warrants were allocated based on subscriptions received in

the subscription period and the remaining 16,695,079 Offer Shares and 16,695,079

Warrants were allocated to the so-called bottom guarantors for the Rights Issue.

Furthermore, the Company had received a so-called top guarantee commitment of an

amount corresponding to approximately NOK 10.5 million, which was to be paid to

the Company by the top guarantor subscribing for a convertible loan in the

Company (the "Convertible Loan"). The total subscription price for the

Convertible Loan would be equivalent to the total subscription price of the

Rights Issue, minus the subscription price of the Units subscribed by the

existing shareholders of the Company and the Units subscribed by the bottom

guarantors. However, the subscription price would not be less than NOK 5.0

million.

Based on the subscription rate of the Rights Issue, the size of the Convertible

Loan was determined to be NOK 10,514,472. Please see the stock exchange

announcement pertaining to the Convertible Loan for more information.

Notifications of allocated Offer Shares and Warrants and the corresponding

subscription amount to be paid by each subscriber not yet having paid for their

subscriptions are expected to be distributed tomorrow, on 15 December 2023.

Payment for the allocated Offer Shares falls due on 20 December 2023 in

accordance with the payment procedures described in the Prospectus.

The Offer Shares and Warrants may not be transferred or traded before all Offer

Shares have been fully paid for and the share capital increase pertaining to the

Rights Issue has been registered with the Norwegian Register of Business

Enterprises (Nw. Foretaksregisteret). Subject to timely payment of the entire

subscription amount in the Rights Issue, the Company expects that the share

capital increase pertaining to the Rights Issue will be registered with the

Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises on or about 22 December 2023. Under

the same conditions, allocated Offer Shares and Warrants are expected to be

delivered on or about 27 December 2023 through the facilities of VPS and on or

about [29] December 2023 through the facilities of Euroclear. Trading in the

Offer Shares and Warrants on Euronext Growth Oslo is expected to commence on or

about 28 December 2023 and on Nasdaq First North Growth Market on or about 29

December 2023.

This is information that Zwipe AS is obligated to make public pursuant to the

continuing obligations of companies admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo

(Euronext Growth Oslo Rule Book - Part II) and on Nasdaq First North Growth

Market. Certified Adviser on Nasdaq First North is FNCA Sweden AB, [email protected].
