OSLO, NORWAY - 3 January 2024 - Reference is made to the stock exchange

announcement published by Zwipe AS (the "Company") on 14 December 2023 regarding

the final allocation of a rights issue of units, each consisting of one new

share in the Company, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.10 and one warrant of

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

raising gross proceeds of approximately NOK 35 million (the "Rights Issue").

The Rights Issue resulted in the issuance of 64,823,988 Warrants, of which

40,889,612 Warrants were allocated to subscribers in the Rights Issue and

13,480,092 Warrants were allocated to the top guarantor in connection with the

Convertible Loan (as defined below). All 64,823,988 Warrants will be listed and

tradable on Euronext Growth Oslo for a period commencing today, 3 January 2024

and ending at 16:30 (CET) on 9 December 2024. In addition, the Warrants will be

listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Sweden for a period commencing today,

3 January 2024 and ending at 16:30 (CET) on or about 10 December 2024. The

10,454,284 Warrants not allocated to subscribers in the Rights Issue or in

connection with the Convertible Loan (as defined below) will not be used and

will be returned to the Company.

Two (2) Warrants entitle to the subscription of one (1) new share in the

Company. The subscription price upon exercise of the Warrants shall for

subscription of one share in the Company be 70% of the ten-day VWAP (Volume

Weighted Average Price) of the Company's shares on Euronext Growth Oslo the last

ten (10) trading days prior to commencement of the Exercise Period, but never

lower than NOK 0.10 per share and never higher than 1.20 per share.

Consequently, if all Warrants are exercised, the Company expects to raise an

additional amount of minimum NOK 3,241,199.40 and maximum NOK 38,894,392.80.

Holders of Warrants may either sell their Warrants or use them to subscribe for

shares in the Company, in both cases within the deadlines stated above. As such,

the Warrants may have a financial value for the holders, depending on the

prevailing market price for the shares in the Company. If the Warrants are not

sold or exercised within the respective deadlines, the Warrants will lapse with

no compensation to the holders.

For more information pertaining to the Warrants, please see the prospectus

prepared in connection with the Rights Issue (the "Prospectus"), which is

available on the Company's website www.zwipe.com and on the Swedish Financial

Supervisory Authority's website, www.fi.se.

Pre-commitment and bottom guarantee commitments:

In connection with the Rights Issue, the Company received subscription

commitments from a number of existing shareholders totaling approximately NOK

8.8 million, corresponding to approximately 25 percent of the Rights Issue. No

compensation is paid for these subscription commitments.

In addition, Zwipe received so-called bottom guarantee commitments of

approximately NOK 15.8 million. Through the bottom guarantees together with the

subscription commitments, approximately 70 percent of the issue proceeds in the

Rights issue was secured. For the so-called bottom guarantees, a compensation of

thirteen (13) percent of the guaranteed amount is paid. The subscription

commitments and bottom guarantee commitments were not secured by bank guarantee,

escrow funds, pledging or similar arrangements. Detailed information regarding

the parties that have entered into subscription commitments and guarantee

undertakings can be found in the Prospectus.

Top guarantee commitment and new issue of the Convertible Loan and Warrants

pursuant to the top guarantee commitment:

Zwipe received a so-called top guarantee of approximately NOK 10.5 million. The

top guarantee was fulfilled by the top guarantor subscribing for a convertible

loan in the Company of NOK 10,514,472 (the "Convertible Loan"). Through the top

guarantee, together with the subscription commitments and the bottom guarantee

commitments, 100 percent of the issue proceeds in the Rights Issue was secured.

For the so-called top guarantee, a compensation of fifteen (15) percent of the

guaranteed amount is paid. The top guarantee commitment was not secured by bank

guarantee, escrow funds, pledging or similar arrangements. The subscription

amount has been paid to the Company.

The top guarantor also had the right and obligation to subscribe for Warrants

free of charge in relation to the subscription price for the Convertible Loan.

The number of Warrants the top guarantor was entitled to subscribe for amounted

to the maximum number of Units in the Rights Issue less the aggregate number of

Units subscribed for by existing shareholders in the Company and Units

subscribed for under the bottom guarantee commitments, multiplied by 0.78. Based

on these principles, the top guarantor was allocated 13,480,092 Warrants.

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].
