NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA OR JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. OTHER RESTRICTIONS ARE APPLICABLE. PLEASE SEE THE IMPORTANT NOTICE AT THE END OF THIS STOCK EXCHANGE

The board of directors of Observe Medical ASA ("Observe Medical" or the "Company") has resolved to propose that the Company carries out a share capital increase, by way of a fully underwritten rights issue, to raise gross proceeds of NOK 180 million (the "Rights Issue"). The proceeds from the Rights Issue will partly be used to finance the cash portion of the acquisition consideration of Biim Ultrasound AS (NOK 50 million), cf. the separate stock exchange announcement published by the Company today, on 14 January 2022, simultaneously with this stock exchange announcement regarding Observe Medical entering into a definitive agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares in Biim Ultrasound AS. In addition, the proceeds will be used for commercialization and growth initiatives for Sippi® and Biim, repayment of current interest-bearing debt and general corporate purposes.

The proposed Rights Issue is subject to a shareholder approval at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company (the "EGM") to be held on 4 February 2022 at 10:00 hours (Oslo time) at the Company's offices in Dronning Eufemias gate 16, 0191 Oslo, Norway. The notice and agenda with appendices is attached hereto and available on www.observemedical.com.

Carnegie AS and DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA, have been engaged as managers for the Rights Issue (the "Managers"). Advokatfirmaet Thommessen AS is acting as legal advisor to the

Company in connection with the Rights Issue. Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS is acting as legal advisor to the Managers in connection with the Rights Issue.

The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by certain existing shareholders of the Company, certain other investors and the Managers (the "Underwriters"), in accordance with an underwriting agreement dated 14 January 2022. Ingerø Reiten Investment Company AS ("IRIC"), the Company's second largest shareholder, has underwritten and pre-committed to subscribe for NOK 40 million in the Rights Issue. Pursuant to, and subject to, the terms and conditions set out in the underwriting agreement, the Underwriters who are existing shareholders in the Company have undertaken to vote their shares held at the time of the EGM in favour of inter alia the Rights Issue and all Underwriters have undertaken to guarantee on a several basis (not jointly) to subscribe for the shares offered in the Rights Issue, for a total underwritten amount of NOK 180 million. The shares in the Rights Issue which are not subscribed upon expiration of the subscription period (if any), will thus be subscribed by and allocated to the Underwriters. The Underwriters are entitled to a guarantee fee of 5% of their respective underwriting obligation.

The subscription price for the new shares to be issued in the Rights Issue, and thus the exact number of new shares and the exact amount of the share capital increase, will be determined by the board of directors, based on a recommendation from the Managers, the day prior to the EGM. The board of directors' resolution in this respect will be announced through a stock exchange announcement the day before the EGM, and then be reflected in the final proposed resolution to the EGM. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the subscription price in the Rights Issue shall be based on the theoretical ex rights price (TERP) based on the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the shares in the Company on Euronext Expand Oslo during the last three trading day prior to the date of the EGM, less a discount of at least 30%.

In connection with the Right Issue a prospectus will be prepared, which is subject to the approval by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority. The prospectus will be published prior to the commencement of the subscription period and will form the basis for subscriptions in the Right Issue. Provided that the prospectus is approved by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority in time, the subscription period for the Rights Issue will commence on 9 February 2022 and expire on 23 February 2022 at 16:30 hours (Oslo time). In the event that the prospectus is not approved in time to uphold this subscription period, the subscription period will commence on the second trading day on the Oslo Stock Exchange following the approval of the prospectus and expire at 16:30 hours (Oslo time) two weeks thereafter.

Pursuant to section 10-4 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act, the shareholders of the Company at the date of the EGM will be granted a preferential right to subscribe for and be allocated the new shares in proportion to the number of shares in the Company they own as of that date, and will according to the board's proposal receive subscription rights proportionate to their existing shareholding as registered in the Company's shareholder register in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (the VPS) at the expiry of 8 February 2022. Provided that a purchase of shares is made with ordinary T+2 settlement, shares purchased up to and including 4 February 2022 will give the right to receive subscription rights, whereas shares purchased from and including 7 February 2022, will not give the right to receive subscription rights. The subscription rights are expected to be tradable and listed on Euronext Expand Oslo from and including the first day of the subscription period and until 16:30 (Oslo time) two trading days prior to the expiry of the subscription period. Over-subscription and subscription without subscription rights will be permitted.

The following lock-up undertakings will be entered into in connection with the Rights Issue:
  • The Company for a period of 180 calendar days
  • The Board of Directors and Executive Management of the Company for a period of 360 calendar days
  • The Company's largest shareholder, Navamedic ASA, for a period of 180 calendar days
  • The Company's second largest shareholder, IRIC, for a period of 360 calendar days
Furthermore, the following selling shareholders of Biim Ultrasound AS will enter into lock-up undertakings upon the completion of the acquisition:
  • The selling shareholders of Biim, receiving consideration shares issued as part of the acquisition; JPB AS, ELI AS, JTT AS, US Holding AS, Seed Capital AS, Athend AS and CEO Rune Nystad constituting ~55% of the shareholding have agreed to a lock-up of 360 days; ~42% of the remaining shareholding have agreed to a lock-up of 180 days and the remaining ~3% is expected to agree to a lock-up of 180 days.

A further description of the Rights Issue and of other circumstances that must be considered upon subscription of shares in the Rights Issue will be included in the prospectus for the Rights Issue, which will be published no later than at the commencement of the subscription period and that will constitute the subscription material for the offering.
