Oslo, 25 October 2024

Observe Medical ASA (the "Company" or "Observe Medical", OSE ticker "OBSVR") has today received a letter from the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (the "NFSA") regarding the NFSA's ongoing review of certain accounting matters in the Company's annual financial statements for 2023 and the interim report for the first half of 2024.

The NFSA's assessment, as outlined in the letter, is that there are errors in the annual financial statements for 2023 related to, inter alia, (i) the Company's accounting with regards to the Convatec transaction (the Observe Medical group's contemplated acquisition of the UnoMeter™ portfolio from Unomedical A/S and Unomedical s.r.o.), which errors are deemed to be material by the NFSA, (ii) insufficient impairment testing, and (iii) incorrect accounting in connection with debt renegotiations with Navamedic ASA.

The NFSA has also pointed out issues related to the interim report for the first half of 2024, including (i) that disclosure regarding "significant uncertainties related to going concern" has not been included, (ii) that impairment testing has not been conducted, and (iii) that information has not been provided regarding payment status and changes in due dates for payment instalments related to the Convatec transaction.

It is noted that the letter serves as a preliminary notice of decision, and the NFSA has not yet made a final decision regarding the financial review of the Company.

The Company will assess the information and continue its dialogue with the NFSA in order to seek to clarify the issues raised by them. The Company will also discuss this with its auditor, Ernst & Young AS.

This information is considered to be inside information pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation and is subject to the disclosure requirements pursuant to section 5-12 the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.

This stock exchange announcement was published by Johan Fagerli, CFO of the Company, on 25 October 2024 at 23:55 hours CET on behalf of the Company.
