(Oslo, 4 June 2021) Reference is made to the stock exchange release from
Atlantic Sapphire ASA ("Atlantic Sapphire" or the "Company") published on 3 June
2021 regarding a contemplated private placement.

The Company announces that it has raised USD 121 million (NOK 1,016 million) in
gross proceeds through a private placement (the "Private Placement") of 
10,300,000 new shares, at a price per share of NOK 98.60, equal to the closing
price on Oslo Stock Exchange. The Private Placement, which was oversubscribed,
took place through an accelerated bookbuilding process managed by Arctic
Securities AS, BofA Securities, and DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA, as
Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners (together, the "Managers") after
close of markets on 3 June 2021.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for:
i)	Partly finance Phase 2 construction anticipated to commence in Q2 2021
ii)	Acceleration of further expansion ("Grand Master Plan"). Initial, long lead
investments and construction of centralized infrastructure such as power and
chiller plant that will benefit subsequent buildouts 
iii)	General corporate purposes

The new shares to be issued in connection with the Private Placement will be
issued based on a Board authorization granted by the Company's annual general
meeting held on 12 May 2021 (the "AGM"). The new shares allocated in the Private
Placement will be settled through a delivery versus payment transaction on a
regular T+2 basis by delivery of existing and unencumbered shares in the
Company, that are already listed on Oslo Stock Exchange, pursuant to a share
lending agreement between certain existing shareholders of the Company, DNB
Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA and the Company. The shares delivered to
investors in the Private Placement will thus be tradable upon allocation. 

DNB Markets will settle the share loan with new shares to be issued by the Board
pursuant to the authorisation granted by the AGM. New shares exceeding 6,705,259
that are delivered to the share lenders as settlement of the share loan will not
be listed or tradable on the Oslo Stock Exchange until a listing prospectus for
such shares has been approved by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority,
and such shares will be issued under a separate ISIN pending approval and
publication of the listing prospectus.

The following primary insiders subscribed for and has been allocated shares in
the Private Placement at a subscription price of NOK 98.60 per share:

i)	André Skarbø, through ASInvest AS, 50,709 shares
ii)	Tone Bjørnov, 2,000 shares

The Board is of the opinion that the Private Placement complies with the equal
treatment obligations under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Oslo Børs'
Circular no. 2/2014, in particular due to the fact that (i) in the current
market, a private placement had a larger possibility of success compared to a
rights issue and, therefore, gives the Company timely access to the new capital
at lower risk
