NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN CANADA,
JAPAN, AUSTRALIA OR THE UNITED STATES, OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH
RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES
NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Oslo, 26 August 2026: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement by
Huddly AS ("Huddly" or the "Company", ticker: HDLY) on 26 August 2026, regarding
a contemplated private placement (the "Private Placement") of new shares in the
Company (the "Offer Shares") to raise gross proceeds of NOK 50 - 70 million (the
"Offer Size") with a fixed price per Offer Share of NOK 22 (the "Offer Price").
The Private Placement was carried out pursuant to an authorization to increase
the share capital in the Company granted by the Company's annual general meeting
held on 20 May 2026 (the "Authorization").

The Company is pleased to announce that the Private Placement attracted strong
interest from existing shareholders and certain new fundamental investors and
was oversubscribed at the high end of the offer size range (i.e. NOK 70
million). On this basis, the Board has allocated 3,161,444 Offer Shares at the
Offer Price. The allocated number of Offer Shares equals the maximum number of
Offer Shares available under the Authorization. 

The Company retained Pareto Securities AS as sole manager and bookrunner (the
"Manager") to assist with the Private Placement.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement to the Company will be used for
bridge funding until the Company expects to become cash flow positive from the
second half of 2027, including investments in R&D for the roll-out of new
products, continued onboarding of strategic partners and general working capital
requirements. 

The Company's board of directors (the "Board") has today resolved to allocate
the Offer Shares and to approve the share capital increase pertaining to the
Private Placement. The Board has furthermore resolved to propose to convene an
extraordinary general meeting in the Company (the "EGM") which will be requested
to grant the Board an authorisation to issue new shares in a potential
Subsequent Offering (as defined below). The notice to the EGM will be attached
to a separate stock exchange announcement to be published by the Company on or
about 28 August 2026.

Notice of allocation and payment instructions to the applicants in the Private
Placement will be communicated by the Manager on 27 August 2026 before 09:00
(CEST). The allocated Offer Shares will be delivered to the investor's VPS
account on a delivery-versus-payment ("DVP") basis on 31 August 2026, subject to
fulfilment of the Conditions (as set out below). The DVP settlement structure is
facilitated through the delivery of existing and unencumbered shares in the
Company, already admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo, pursuant to a
share lending agreement (the "Share Lending Agreement") between the Company, the
Manager and the Company's largest shareholder, Sonstad AS, closely associated
with the chair of the Board, Jon Øyvind Eriksen. The Offer Shares will thus
become tradable on Euronext Growth Oslo immediately after the notification of
allocation on 27 August 2026.

Completion of the Private Placement is subject to (i) all corporate resolutions
of the Company required to implement the Private Placement being validly made by
the Company, including without limitation, the resolution by the Board to
increase the share capital of the Company and issue the Offer Shares pursuant to
the Authorization, and (ii) the Share Lending Agreement remaining in full force
and effect (jointly referred to as the "Conditions").

Following (and subject to) the issuance and registration with the Norwegian
Register of Business Enterprises of the share capital increase pertaining to the
Private Placement (but prior to the Subsequent Offering), the Company will have
a share capital of NOK 2,173,493.3125 divided into 34,775,893 shares.

Subscription by primary insiders and employees of the Company and lock-up

The following primary insiders in the Company, including members of the Board,
have (through their respective holding companies, where applicable) been
allocated Offer Shares for a total of NOK 17.95 million (approx. 25.8% of the
Private Placement) at the Offer Price:

-	Jon Øyvind Eriksen (Chairman): 454,545 Offer Shares equal to NOK 9,999,990; 
-	Kristian Kolberg (board member): 340,908 Offer Shares equal to NOK 7,499,976; 
-	Bente Sollid (board member): 4,545 Offer Shares equal to NOK 99,990; 
-	Rósa Stensen (CEO): 4,545 Offer Shares equal to NOK 99,990; 
-	Abhijit Saha Banik (CFO): 4,545 Offer Shares equal to NOK 99,990; 
-	Stein Ove Eriksen (CPO): 4,545 Offer Shares equal to NOK 99,990; and 
-	Håvard Pedersen Alstad (EVP Engineering): 2,272 Offer Shares equal to NOK
49,984.

The Company and primary insiders in the Company have furthermore all agreed to a
6-month lock-up in connection with the Private Placement.

Potential Subsequent Offering and equal treatment considerations
 
Completion of the Private Placement entails a deviation from the preferential
rights of the existing shareholders. When resolving to conduct the Private
Placement, the Board considered this deviation in light of the equal treatment
obligations set out in the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act,
Euronext Growth Oslo Rule Book - Part II and Oslo Stock Exchange's guidelines on
equal treatment of shareholders. By structuring the Private Placement as a
private placement with a Subsequent Offering, the Company was able to raise
capital swiftly and efficiently in a volatile capital market, with significantly
reduced completion risk compared to a rights issue and with a lower discount to
the current trading price of the shares than a rights issue. A rights issue
would furthermore be more costly and more time-consuming than the Private
Placement, among other things due to the requirement to prepare and register a
national prospectus, which, given the Company's current financial situation, is
not desired prior to the Company having secured funds in the Private Placement.
The Company also requires capital to bridge its needs until it is cash flow
positive and it increases the Company's chances of securing sufficient new
capital that it can approach also new investors. On this basis, and an
assessment of the current equity markets, the Board is of the opinion that there
are sufficient grounds to deviate from the preferential rights of the existing
shareholders and that the Private Placement is compliant with the said equal
treatment obligations.

To limit the dilutive effects for the existing shareholders not participating in
the Private Placement, the Board has resolved to convene an extraordinary
general meeting on or about 11 September 2026 which will be requested to
authorise the Board to resolve a share capital increase in connection with a
potential subsequent offering of up to 500,000 new shares in the Company equal
to gross proceeds of up to NOK 11 million (the "Subsequent Offering"). The
Subsequent Offering will be directed towards existing shareholders in the
Company as of 26 August 2026 (as registered in the VPS two trading days
thereafter i.e. on 28 August 2026, 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 (the "Eligible
Shareholders").The subscription price in the Subsequent Offering will be equal
to the Offer Price in the Private Placement. The Eligible Shareholders will
receive non-transferable subscription rights in the Subsequent Offering.
Oversubscription with subscriptions rights will be allowed. No subscription
without subscription rights will be allowed.

The Subsequent Offering is subject to (i) completion of the Private Placement,
(ii) approval by the EGM to authorise the Board to issue new shares in the
Subsequent Offering and the Board resolving a share capital increase to issue
new shares in the Subsequent Offering. The Board may decide that the Subsequent
Offering will not be carried out if the Company's shares trade at or below the
subscription price in the Subsequent Offering (i.e. the Offer Price) at
sufficient volumes. The Company will publish a national prospectus if and to the
extent required pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, chapter 7,
item II.
