INDIRECTLY, IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA, THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION OF

12 October 2026: CodeLab Capital AS (the "Company") refers to its announcement
on 8 October 2026 regarding the private placement of new shares to be issued by
the Company to raise the gross proceeds of approx. NOK 27.8 - 50 million (the
"Private Placement"). 

The Company is pleased to announce that the Private Placement has been
successfully placed, in which 4,829,768 new ordinary shares in the Company (the
"Offer Shares") have been conditionally allocated by the Company's board of
directors (the "Board") at a fixed subscription price per Offer Share of NOK 6
("Offer Price") raising gross proceeds of NOK 28,978,608. The Offer Price
represented a premium to both (i) the Company's last closing share price on
Euronext Growth Oslo prior to launch of the Private Placement, and (ii) the
Company's 30-day volume-weighted average share price on Euronext Growth Oslo
prior to launch of the Private Placement.

Pareto Securities AS acted as manager in connection with the Private Placement
(the "Manager").

As announced by the Company, including in stock exchange notice on 8 October
2026, the Company has entered into a binding share purchase agreement to acquire
Mdco AS and its subsidiaries ("Mdco") (the "Mdco Acquisition"), which is
expected to be completed in Q4 2026. Further, the Company has also entered into
non-binding term sheets with exclusivity for the acquisition of certain other
occupational health service providers (the "Potential Acquisitions"). Reference
is made to the Company's previous announcements with respect to such potential
transactions.

Use of proceeds 

The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement will be used (i) to
repay the bridge loan announced by the Company on 2 October 2026, for the
purpose of funding Mdco's liquidity needs in the period up to completion of the
Mdco Acquisition, (ii) to cover seasonality effects in Mdco, and (iii) for
general corporate purposes.
The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement will fully fund the
Company's current equity story until break-even. 

As net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement are below NOK 35
million, the Potential Acquisitions, to the extent such transactions are carried
out, may, if relevant, require additional financing. 
As a listed compounder, the Company continuously assesses capital market
opportunities and may seek additional financing in connection with the Potential
Acquisitions. The Company may also in the future pursue other or further
acquisitions, which, if pursued, may require additional financing; however, the
Company has no concrete plans for any such acquisitions at this time.

Allocations to primary insiders

Lorenz AS, a company closely associated with Anton Lorenz Bondesen, the
Company's CEO and member of the Board, has been conditionally allocated 166,667
Offer Shares in the Private Placement at the Offer Price.
Please see attached notification form in accordance with the Market Abuse
Regulation (MAR) article 19 for more information. 

Settlement and dates

Notification of conditional allocation is expected to be sent on or about 12
October 2026 before 09:00 CEST. Issuance of the allocated Offer Shares is
subject to approval by the Company's extraordinary general meeting expected to
be held on or about 30 October 2026 (the "EGM"). The allocated Offer Shares will
not be tradeable before the EGM has resolved to issue the Offer Shares and
registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the Offer Shares in the
Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises (the "NRBE") has occurred, expected
on or about 3 November 2026.

The Private Placement is expected to be settled by the Manager on a
delivery-versus-payment ("DVP") basis on or about 4 November 2026, subject to,
among other things, handling time for registration of the share capital increase
relating to the Private Placement in the NRBE and fulfilment of the Conditions.
The DVP settlement structure in the Private Placement is expected to be
facilitated by a pre-payment agreement expected to be entered into between the
Company and the Manager (the "Pre-Payment Agreement").

Conditions for completion

Completion of the Private Placement remains conditional upon: (i) a resolution
by an extraordinary general meeting of the Company expected to be held on or
about 30 October 2026 (the "EGM") to resolve, amongst other things, the increase
of the share capital required to issue the Offer Shares; (ii) the Pre-Payment
Agreement (defined below) remaining in full force and effect; (iii) the share
purchase agreement relating to the Mdco Acquisition remaining in full force and
effect; (iv) registration of the share capital increase in the Company
pertaining to the Private Placement with the Norwegian Register of Business
Enterprises; and (v) issuance of the Offer Shares in Euronext Securities Oslo
(VPS) (the "Conditions").

The EGM to resolve the issuance of the Offer Shares is expected to be summoned
on or about 16 October 2026 and held on or about 30 October 2026. The summoning
of the EGM has been delayed in order to align the closing of the Private
Placement with the closing of the Mdco Acquisition, such that the Company will
hold a joint general meeting resolving, amongst other things, both the issuance
of the Offer Shares and the issuance of the Mdco Consideration Shares on the
closing date of the Mdco Acquisition.

Lock-ups

Members of the Company's Board and executive management have agreed to a 6-month
lock-up in connection with the Private Placement.
The Mdco shareholders will be subject to lock-up on the Mdco Consideration
Shares (50% 6 months and 50% 12 months) subject to closing of the Mdco
Acquisition.
Any consideration shares to be issued as part of the Potential Acquisitions are
expected to be subject to the same lock-up mechanics as the Mdco Acquisition.

Subsequent Offering and equal treatment considerations

The Company has considered the Private Placement in light of the equal treatment
obligations set out in the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act,
the Euronext Growth Rule Book Part II and Oslo Børs' circular no. 2/2014, and
the Board is of the opinion that the waiver of the preferential rights inherent
in a private placement, taking into consideration the time, costs and risk of
alternative methods of securing the desired funding, is in the common interest
of the Company and its shareholders, as a private placement enables the Company
to raise the capital needed to fund the Company's announced acquisitions and
repay the bridge loan more quickly and with greater certainty than a rights
issue would allow. On this basis, the Board is of the opinion that the deviation
from the shareholders' preferential rights is duly justified and in the common
interest of the Company and its shareholders.
The Company will not conduct a subsequent repair offering in connection with the
Private Placement since the Offer Price represents a premium to both (i) the
Company's last closing share price on Euronext Growth Oslo prior to launch of
the Private Placement, and (ii) the Company's 30-day volume-weighted average
share price on Euronext Growth Oslo prior to launch of the Private Placement.

is acting as legal counsel to the Company in connection with the Private
Placement.
