Instabank ASA - Successful completion of upsized Private Placement and retail
offer via PrimaryBid 

Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by Instabank ASA
("Instabank" or the "Company") earlier today, 25 September 2025, regarding the
launch of a private placement of new shares in the Company to raise gross
proceeds of NOK 150 million (the "Private Placement"), and the retail offering
of new shares up to the NOK equivalent of EUR 1 million via the PrimaryBid
platform (the "PrimaryBid Offering") (together with the new shares in the
Private Placement, the "Offer Shares"). 

The Company is pleased to announce that the Private Placement has been
successfully completed. The Private Placement attracted strong investor demand,
and in consultation with the Manager (as defined below), the Company resolved to
upsize the Private Placement, with a total of 60,344,827 Offer Shares being
allocated at a subscription price of NOK 2.90 per Offer Share (the "Subscription
Price"), raising gross proceeds of NOK 175 million.

Additionally, 4,000,000 Offer Shares at the Subscription Price were allocated in
the PrimaryBid Offering, raising gross proceeds of NOK 11.6 million. The
PrimaryBid Offering attracted strong interest from retail investors in Norway.

The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement and the PrimaryBid
Offering will be used to (i) support expansion of the Company's credit card
offering in Germany, (ii) give the Company flexibility to further accelerate
organic lending growth and to acquire loan portfolios, (iii) and for general
corporate purpose. 

Notification of allocation, including settlement instructions, in the Private
Placement are expected to be distributed by the Manager on 26 September 2025.
Settlement of the Offer Shares is expected to take place on or about 30
September 2025 on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis by delivery of existing
and unencumbered shares in the Company that are already listed on Euronext
Growth Oslo, pursuant to a share lending agreement (the "Share Lending
Agreement") between the Company, Kistefos AS and the Manager. The Offer Shares
delivered to the investors in the Private Placement will thus be tradable upon
allocation. 

Settlement of the Offer Shares in the PrimaryBid Offering is expected to take
place on or about 30 September 2025 on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis by
delivery of existing and unencumbered shares in the Company that are already
listed on Euronext Growth Oslo, pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement. The
Offer Shares delivered to the investors in the PrimaryBid Offering are expected
to be tradable upon allocation. 

To issue the Offer Shares allocated in the Private Placement and the PrimaryBid
Offering, the Company's board of directors has resolved to increase the
Company's share capital with in total NOK 64,344,827 by the issuance of
64,344,827 new shares pursuant to the board authorization to increase the
Company's share capital granted by the Company's annual general meeting on 10
April 2025. Following registration of the share capital increases in the
Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises, the Company will have a share
capital of NOK 442,606,339 divided into 442,606,339 shares, each with a par
value of NOK 1.

The Company's board of directors (the "Board") has considered the Private
Placement and the PrimaryBid Offering in light of the equal treatment
obligations under the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act, and deems that the
Private Placement and the PrimaryBid Offering is in compliance with these
obligations. 

To mitigate the dilutive effects for the existing shareholders not participating
in the Private Placement, the Company intends, subject to, inter alia,
completion of the Private Placement and the PrimaryBid Offering, and publication
of a prospectus and certain other conditions, to carry out a subsequent offering
of up to 10,000,000 new shares at the Subscription Price (the "Subsequent
Offering"). A Subsequent Offering shall, if made, and on the basis of the
prospectus, be directed towards existing shareholders in the Company as of 25
September 2025, as registered in the Company's register of shareholders with
Euronext Securities Oslo on 29 September 2025, and who (i) were not allocated
Offer Shares in the Private Placement, and (ii) are not resident in a
jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or, would (in jurisdictions
other than Norway) require a prospectus, filing registration or similar action
(the "Eligible Shareholders"). The Eligible Shareholders are expected to be
granted non-tradable subscription rights. The Company will issue a separate
stock exchange announcement with further details on the Subsequent Offering. The
Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to not conduct or to cancel
the Subsequent Offering.
