ASTROCAST CONFIRMS ITS FINANCING STRATEGY AND ANNOUNCES INTENTION TO APPLY FOR
ADDITIONAL LISTING ON EURONEXT GROWTH PARIS TO COMPLETE THE ROLL-OUT OF ITS IOT
NANOSATELLITE CONSTELLATION

Capitalizing on the success of its first deployment phase and the accelerating
expansion of the market, the company appoints investment banking syndicate to
prepare an IPO and listing on Euronext Growth Paris in 2022, in addition to the
listing on Euronext Growth Oslo


Lausanne, Switzerland, April 5, 2022 - Following successful testing and
validation of its current 12-satellite constellation and increasing customer
interest, Astrocast (the 'Company'), operator of one of the world's most
advanced global nanosatellite IoT networks, has confirmed plans to launch
additional satellites to complete its constellation deployment. 

The plan involves a goal of having 20 satellites in orbit by the end of 2022 and
a full global constellation of 40 satellites in orbit by 2023. These satellites
will be complemented by second-generation satellites, with the ultimate
objective of reaching a 100-satellite constellation by 2025.  

To fund the completion of the constellation deployment and the ramp-up of its
commercial activities, Astrocast intends to pursue an Initial Public Offering
and to apply for a listing on Euronext Growth Paris, in addition to its existing
listing on Euronext Growth Oslo. Future constellation launches and satellite
replenishment and maintenance are targeted to be funded from cash flow from
operations and debt.  

Commenting on the announcement, Fabien Jordan, CEO of Astrocast, declared: "We
are very excited to enter the next phase of our strategic plan. Raising
additional capital will enable us to accelerate satellite launches, foster
commercialization of our existing modules and finalize the launch of our
proprietary chipset."

Jose Achache, Chairman of Astrocast, stated: "France is a leading country in the
Aerospace domain in Europe and Astrocast has established strong ties with major
industrial players such as Airbus and CEA-Leti, co-developing its proprietary
chip and communication protocol based on L-Band spectrum. Listing on Euronext
Growth Paris is a significant step to consolidating our historical relationship
with the French and European Aerospace industry."


(i)	Astrocast completed a number of significant milestones since its public
listing in August 2021

On the operational front, Astrocast has been successfully testing the existing
constellation, which includes 12 satellites, 10 of which provide commercial IoT
services on an international scale. Following the completion of the
constellation, Astrocast expects to be able to offer latency of less than 15
minutes, which satisfies most IoT use cases. Astrocast is negotiating an
extension of the agreement on the spectrum utilized by the constellation. Once
signed, the new agreement is expected to significantly de-risk the Company's
business plan. On the commercial front, prospective customers are receiving
development kits to test various IoT applications. The Company has also been
working on building its customer pipeline, including a partnership agreement
with Telefonica that has a potential to connect thousands of maritime shipping
containers to be monitored through the Astrocast network. 


(ii)	Intention to list on Euronext Growth Paris to expand and deepen investor
base

Astrocast intends to raise EUR60m to EUR80m in this initial public offering, and
concurrently to apply for the listing of its shares on Euronext Growth Paris, in
addition to its existing listing on Euronext Growth Oslo. Through this new
listing, the Company hopes to expand its institutional investor base and
increase liquidity.

Astrocast has appointed as Joint Global Coordinators for the initial public
offering Bryan, Garnier & Co, a leading European growth-focused investment bank
and long-term financial advisor of the Company, Deutsche Bank AG, which brings
in-depth Space Tech sector knowledge along with its pan-European equity
distribution platform, and Clarksons Platou Securities AS, the investment
banking arm of the global maritime conglomerate Clarksons Group. The target will
be to complete the transaction this year, subject to market conditions and
regulatory approvals.

Regarding the syndicate structure, Kjell Karlsen, CFO of Astrocast, said: "We
are very pleased with the dedicated banking syndicate combining Aerospace sector
expertise and deep access to institutional investors across Europe and
internationally. Listing on Euronext Growth Paris will further raise our profile
among investors and enhance the liquidity of our shares to the benefit of all
our shareholders."
