Bergen, Norway, 17 April 2024: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by BerGenBio ASA ("BerGenBio" or the "Company") 16 April 2024 regarding the final results for the second exercise period for the warrants (the "Warrants") issued in connection with the Company's rights issue in June 2023 raising gross proceeds of NOK 250 million (the "Rights Issue").

In connection with the second and final exercise period for the Warrants, the Company entered into underwriting agreements dated 1 April 2024 (the "Underwriting Agreements"), with among others, Munkekullen förvaltning 5 AB and Buntel AB (the "Underwriters"). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements, each of the Underwriters are entitled to an underwriting fee of 12% of its respective underwriting obligation, to be settled by way of subscription of new shares in the Company issued at the same subscription price as in last exercise period for the Warrants, i.e. NOK 0.1255 per fee share in the Company (the "Fee Shares").

The Underwriters shall therefore receive a total of 113,456,919 Fee Shares, at a subscription price of NOK 0.1255 per Fee Share for a total subscription amount of NOK 14,238,843.3345.

Therefore, the Company's board of directors has today, pursuant to the authorisation granted by the general meeting held on 22 May 2023, resolved to increase the Company's share capital with NOK 11,345,691.90 by the issuance of 113,456,919 Fee Shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.10, at a subscription price of NOK 0.1255 per share, raising gross proceeds of in aggregate NOK 14,238,843.3345.

Following registration of the share capital increase with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises (Nw. Foretaksregisteret) (and assuming that the share capital increase pertaining to the exercise of Warrants has been registered), the Company's share capital will be NOK 390,871,156.70, divided into 3,908,711,567 shares, each with a nominal value of 0.10.

The Fee Shares are expected to be tradable on the Oslo Stock Exchange from the time the share capital increase pertaining to such shares has been registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises (Nw.: Foretaksregisteret).
