NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION, RELEASE OR REPUBLICATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO U.S.
NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA,
CANADA, HONG KONG OR JAPAN, OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION,
RELEASE OR REPUBLICATION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL
(Oslo, 14 March 2024) Ayfie Group AS (Ayfie, OSE: AYFIE) ("Ayfie" or the
"Company") has engaged Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) (the "Manager")
to advise on and effect a contemplated private placement of new shares (the
"Offer Shares") in the Company (the "Private Placement") consisting of ordinary
shares to raise gross proceeds of approximately NOK 20 million (the "Offering
Size"). The subscription price per Offer Share in the Private Placement (the
"Subscription Price") will be determined by the Company's board of directors
(the "Board") on the basis of an accelerated book building process conducted by
the Manager.
The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement will be used to fund
further growth and operations going forward.
The Offer Shares, subject to completion, will be issued by the Board pursuant to
the authorization granted by the annual general meeting in the Company on 30
March 2023 (the "Board Authorization").

Application period:
The application period for the Private Placement commences today, 14 March 2024,
at 16:55 CET, and is expected to close on 15 March 2024 at 08.00 CET (the
"Application Period"). The Company and the Manager reserve the right, in their
own discretion, to close or extend the application period of the Private
Placement at any time and for any reason, without notice. If the application
period is shortened or extended, any other dates referred to herein may be
amended accordingly.
Pre-commitments:
Fernclifff Listed Dai AS, Lani Invest AS, Dallas Asset Management AS and Mertoun
Capital AS (together, the "Pre-committed Investors") have, subject to certain
customary conditions, undertaken to apply for, and will each be allocated, a
number of Offer Shares equal to NOK 1 million in the Private Placement.

Conditions for completion:
Completion of the Private Placement (by delivery of Offer Shares to investors)
is subject to all necessary resolutions being validly made by the Company,
including without limitation (i) the Company's Board resolving to proceed with
the Private Placement and to issue the Offer Shares and exclude related
pre-emption rights pursuant to the Board Authorization and (ii) the Share
Lending Agreement (as defined below) being validly entered into and remaining
unmodified and in full force and effect.

The Company and the Manager reserves the right, at any time and for any reason,
to cancel and/or modify the terms of the Private Placement without notice.
Neither the Manager nor the Company, or any of their directors, officers,
employees, representatives or advisors, will be liable for any losses incurred
by applicants if the Private Placement is cancelled or modified, irrespective of
the reason for such cancellation or modification.

Allocation:
The allocation will be made at the sole discretion of the Board in consultation
with the Manager. Allocation will be based on criteria such as (but not limited
to), current ownership in the Company, timeliness of the application, price
leadership, relative order size, sector knowledge, investment history, perceived
investor quality and investment horizon, however so that the Pre-committed
Investors will receive full allocation. There is no guarantee that any potential
investor will be allocated shares.

Settlement:
Settlement of the Private Placement will be on a delivery versus payment to be
facilitated by delivery of existing and unencumbered shares in the Company
already admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo pursuant to a share lending
agreement (the "Share Lending Agreement") between the Company, the Manager,
Ferncliff Listed Dai AS and Dallas Asset Management AS for existing and
unencumbered listed shares.
Selling restrictions:
The Private Placement will be made by the Company to investors subject to
applicable exemptions from relevant prospectus requirements in accordance with
Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 and the Norwegian Securities Trading Act of 2007 and
is directed towards investors subject to available exemptions from relevant
registration requirements, (i) outside the United States in reliance on
Regulation S under the US Securities Act of 1933 (the "US Securities Act") and
(ii) in the United States to "qualified institutional buyers" (QIBs) as defined
in Rule 144A under the US Securities Act, pursuant to an exemption from the
registration requirements under the US Securities Act as well as to major U.S.
institutional investors under SEC Rule 15a-6 to the United States Exchange Act
of 1934. The Company may, however, at its sole discretion, allocate an amount
below EUR 100,000 to the extent applicable exemptions from the prospectus
requirements pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and ancillary
regulations are available, including to employees and directors of the Company
and the Company group. Further selling restrictions and transaction terms will
apply.

Equal treatment considerations:
The Company has considered the Private Placement in light of the equal treatment
obligations under the Securities Trading Act section 5-14, section 3.1 of the
Euronext Growth Rule Book Part II and Oslo Børs' Circular no. 2/2014, and the
Board is of the opinion that the proposed Private Placement is in compliance
with these requirements. By structuring the Private Placement as a private
placement, the Company will be in a position 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. Furthermore, the
number of Offer Shares to be issued in connection with the contemplated Private
Placement implies that the dilution of existing shareholders should be more
limited. On this basis and based on an assessment of the current equity markets,
the Board has considered the Private Placement to be in the common interest of
the Company and its shareholders. As a consequence of the structure of the
Private Placement, the shareholders' preferential rights to subscribe for the
Offer Shares will be deviated from.

Advisors:
Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) Oslofilialen is acting as manager.
Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS is acting as legal counsel to the Company.
Advokatfirmaet Wiersholm AS is acting as legal counsel to the Manager.
