NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO OR FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ITS TERRITORIES OR POSSESSIONS, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, JAPAN, THE UNITED KINGDOM OR SOUTH AFRICA OR TO ANY RESIDENT THEREOF, OR ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IS UNLAWFUL.

Oslo, 19 March 2026. Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published yesterday by Xplora Technologies AS ("Xplora" or the "Company") regarding a contemplated private placement (the "Private Placement") of new shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares"), each with a nominal value of NOK 0.004.

The Private Placement has been successfully completed, raising gross proceeds to the Company of approximately NOK 150 million, through the allocation of 2,884,615 Offer Shares, each at a subscription price of NOK 52.00 per Offer Share (the "Offer Price").

The Private Placement was multiple times oversubscribed, reflecting strong, high-quality investor demand and signalling robust confidence in the Company’s growth strategy and future prospects.

“As a follow-up to the Doro acquisition, complemented by Emporia, this Private Placement positions us strongly as a market leader in senior phones in Europe. We are very pleased with the strong support from high-quality investors. The multiple times oversubscribed Private Placement is a clear validation of our strategy and growth ambitions. Strengthening our balance sheet enables us to accelerate both organic initiatives and pursue attractive M&A opportunities,” said CEO Sten Kirkbak of Xplora.

Over the past year, the Company has significantly expanded its strategic scope and set ambitious targets for profitable growth by scaling its subscriber base. Xplora’s solutions connect generations, and the Company is building leading positions within communication and connectivity for Kids, Youth, and Seniors.

The following members of the Company’s management and board of directors (the "Board") have collectively subscribed for, and were allocated, Offer Shares for approx. NOK 4.55 million in the Private Placement:

  • Sten Kirkbak (CEO) through MK Capital AS: approx. NOK 300,000, equal to 5,769 Offer Shares.
  • Knut Stålen (CFO): approx. NOK 300,000, equal to 5,769 Offer Shares.
  • Bjørn Christian Eide (board member) through Esmar AS: NOK 3,653,884 (pro-rata), equal to 70,267 Offer Shares.
  • Ingrid Elvira Leisner (board member) through Duo Jag AS: approx. NOK 100,000, equal to 1,923 Offer Shares.
  • Jannicke Haugen (board member) through Sjiraff Holding AS: approx. NOK 100,000, equal to 1,923 Offer Shares.
  • Suzaan Sauerman (board member): approx. NOK 100,000, equal to 1,923 Offer Shares.

Further information regarding allocation in the Private Placement to primary insiders and their close associates pursuant to the Market Abuse Regulation article 19 is attached to this notice ("PDMR Notice"). In connection with their subscriptions, the members of the Company’s management and Board, and the Company have entered into a lock-up agreement for a period of six (6) months, subject to certain customary exceptions.

The share capital increase pertaining to the Private Placement and the issuance of the Offer Shares was adopted by the Board pursuant to an authorization granted by the Company's annual general meeting held on 23 May 2025 (the "Authorization"). Notifications of allotment of the Offer Shares and payment instructions are expected to be distributed to the applicants through a notification from the Managers (as defined below) on or about 19 March 2026.

Settlement of the Offer Shares is expected to take place on or about 23 March 2026. The Offer Shares allocated in the Private Placement will be settled on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis using existing and unencumbered shares in the Company that are already listed on Euronext Growth Oslo. DVP will be effected pursuant to a share lending agreement entered into between the Company, the Managers and Passesta AS, a closely associated company to the Company's chairperson Tore Engebretsen, as further described in the attached PDMR notice (the "Share Lending Agreement").

As a result, the Offer Shares will be tradable on Euronext Growth Oslo immediately following notification of allocation. The Managers will subscribe for the Offer Shares, which, once issued pursuant to the Authorization, will be delivered to Passesta AS in settlement of shares borrowed under the Share Lending Agreement.

Following registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the Private Placement with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises, the Company will have a share capital of NOK 190,948.048 divided into 47,737,012 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.004.

Equal treatment of shareholders

The Private Placement represents a deviation from the shareholders' preferential right to subscribe for the Offer Shares. The Board has carefully considered the structure of the equity raise in light of the equal treatment obligations under the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act and believed it complies with these principles. In the Board's view, it is in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders to expand the Company's shareholder base with high-quality institutional investors and to conduct the share capital increase in a fast and efficient manner at a lower cost and completion risk compared to a rights issue. Further, the number of Offer Shares, combined with a modest discount to current trading prices on Euronext Growth Oslo, results in limited financial dilution for existing shareholders.

Potential Subsequent Offering

To mitigate the dilutive effect of the Private Placement, the board of directors intends carry out a subsequent offering of up to 576,923 new shares in the Company, equal to gross proceeds of NOK 30 million, at a subscription price corresponding to the Offer Price in the Private Placement (the "Subsequent Offering"). The Subsequent Offering will, if carried out, subject to applicable securities law, be directed towards existing shareholders in the Company as of 18 March 2026 (as registered in VPS two trading days thereafter) who (i) were not included in the pre-sounding phase of the Private Placement, (ii) were not allocated Offer Shares in the Private Placement, and (iii) 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 Subsequent Offering is subject to the publication of a national prospectus and the prevailing market price of the Company's shares together with the corresponding trading volume following the Private Placement. The Board may decide that the Subsequent Offering will not be carried out in the event that the Company's shares trade below the Subscription Price at sufficient volumes. The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to not conduct or to cancel the Subsequent Offering and will, if and when finally resolved, issue a separate stock exchange notice with further details on the Subsequent Offering.

Advisors

Nordea Bank Abp, filial i Norge and Pareto Securities AS (the "Managers") are acting as managers and bookrunners in the Private Placement. Advokatfirmaet Thommessen AS is acting as legal advisor to the Company in the Private Placement.
