RELEASE OR REPUBLICATION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

Asker, 19 March 2024. Reference is made to the stock exchange release from Argeo
AS ("Argeo" or the "Company") (Euronext Growth Oslo: ARGEO) published on 19
March 2024 regarding a contemplated private placement of NOK 50 million in gross
proceeds (the "Private Placement").

The Company is pleased to announce that it has completed a private placement of
approximatley NOK 50 million in gross proceeds (the "Private Placement") with a
final subscription price of NOK 2.75 per Offer Share (as defined below). Pareto
Securities AS and SpareBank 1 Markets AS (the "Managers") are acting as joint
global coordinators and joint bookrunners in the Private Placement.

A total of 18,181,818 new shares (the "Offer Shares") have been allocated in the
Private Placement at a price per Offer share of NOK 2.75 (the "Offer Price"),
raising gross proceeds of approximately NOK 50 million. The Private Placement
attracted strong interest from new and existing investors and was substantially
over-subscribed.

The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement will be used for
general corporate purposes, including working capital relating to the Company's
USD 39 million contract announced on 12 March 2024 for work offshore Africa
(hereunder opex until contract payments and contract related pre-payments to
sub-suppliers) and additional project related equipment and preparation for
project based 3'rd spread in North and South America.

The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") has today, pursuant an
authorisation granted by the extraordinary general meeting held on 15 March
2024, resolved to issue the Offer Shares. Following the issuance of Offer Shares
in the Private Placement, the Company will have a share capital of
21,108,174.20, divided into 211,081,742 shares.

Allocation to investors will be communicated 20 March 2024, and the Private
Placement is expected to be settled by the Managers on a delivery-versus-payment
("DvP") basis on or about 22 March 2024, subject to processing time with the
Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises ("NRBE") pertaining to registration
of the share capital increase (such registration to be notified in a separate
stock exchange notice on the NRBE registration date). The DvP settlement of
Offer Shares is facilitated by a pre-payment agreement entered into between the
Company and the Managers (the "Pre-Payment Agreement").

The Offer Shares are not tradable on Euronext Growth Oslo before the share
capital increase pertaining to the issuance of the Offer Shares has been
registered with the NRBE and the share capital increase pertaining has been
announced by the Company, expected on or about 21 March 2024.

The following close associate to persons discharging managerial responsibilities
("PDMRs") have been allocated the following Offer Shares in the Private
Placement (a PDMR notification form will be published in a separate stock
exchange notice):

- Kistefos AS, a company closely related to board director, Lars Petter Ottem
Utseth, has been allocated 3,833,454 Offer Shares (equal to its pro-rata share)
and will following completion of the Private Placement control 44,505,291 shares
in the Company.

Furthermore, it is the intention of the Board to pursue an uplisting to a
regulated marketplace operated by the Oslo Stock Exchange within 2024
post-completion of the Private Placement (always subject to favourable market
conditions and the satisfaction of applicable listing requirements).

Subsequent offering and equal treatment considerations
Completion of the Private Placement implies a deviation from the pre-emptive
rights of the existing shareholders of the Company under the Norwegian Private
Limited Companies Act. When resolving the issuance of the Offer Shares in the
Private Placement, the Board considered this deviation and also the equal
treatment obligations under the STA section 5-14, section 3.1 of the Euronext
Growth Rule Book Part II and Oslo Børs' Circular no. 2/2014. By structuring the
Private Placement as a private placement, with a Subsequent Offering (as defined
below), the Company was able to raise capital in an efficient manner, with a
lower discount to the current trading price and a significantly lower completion
risks compared to a rights issue and without the underwriting commissions
normally associated with such rights offerings. On this basis, the Board is of
the opinion that there are sufficient grounds to deviate from the pre-emptive
rights and that the Private Placement is in compliance with the equal treatment
requirements.

To mitigate the dilution of existing shareholders not participating in the
Private Placement, the Board has resolved to undertake a subsequent offering
(the "Subsequent Offering") of up to 11,000,000 new shares directed towards the
Company's shareholders as of close of trading 19 March 2024, as recorded in the
Norwegian Central Securities Depository (Euronext Securities Oslo) on 21 March
2024, who (i) were not included in the "wall-crossing" 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
and (in jurisdictions other than Norway) would require any prospectus, filing,
registration or similar action (the "Eligible Shareholders"). The subscription
price in the Subsequent Offering will be equal to the Offer Price. The Eligible
Shareholders will receive non-transferrable subscription rights in the
Subsequent Offering. Over-subscription will be permitted for Eligible
Shareholders. Subscription without subscription rights will not be permitted in
the Subsequent Offering.

The Subsequent Offering is subject to i) the Board resolving to issue shares in
the Subsequent Offering, ii) the publication of an offering prospectus
pertaining to the Subsequent Offering and iii) the prevailing market price of
the Company's shares following the Private Placement. The Board may decide that
the Subsequent Offering will not be carried out in the event that the Company's
shares trade at or below the subscription price (i.e. the Offer Price) in the
Subsequent Offering at volumes equal to or above the number of shares in the
Subsequent Offering.

Further information regarding the Subsequent Offering will be announced in
separate stock exchange notices.
