Oslo, 13 October 2023

Reference is made to the offer document dated 27 July 2023 (the "Offer
Document") for the recommended voluntary offer (the "Offer") by Kangaroo BidCo
AS (the "Offeror") to acquire all outstanding shares ("Shares") in Kahoot! ASA
("Kahoot!" or the "Company") for a cash consideration of NOK 35.00 per Share
(the "Offer Price"). Reference is further made to the settlement notification
announced by the Offeror on 11 October 2023, setting out that settlement of the
Offer will take place no later than 9 November 2023 subject to the remaining
closing conditions as set out in section 1.6 (Closing Conditions) in the Offer
Document remaining fulfilled or being waived (at the Offeror's sole discretion)
(the "Settlement Notification").

Kangaroo TopCo S.à r.l., WSCP VIII Emp Investments B S.à r.l., ELQ Lux Holding
S.à r.l. and Special Situations 2022 Lux S.à r.l., (the "Buyers"), each a
related party of the Offeror pursuant to section 2-5 of the Norwegian Securities
Trading Act (the "STA"), have Wednesday 11 October 2023 through Friday 13
October 2023 agreed to acquire 2,219,728 Shares through market purchases on the
Oslo Stock Exchange, at a price per Share of up to NOK 34.99 (the
"Transaction").

Pursuant to the completion of the Transaction, which is subject to settlement by
Wednesday 18 October 2023, the Buyers, together with its related parties, will
hold 164,324,780 Shares, representing approximately 33.34% of the share capital
and voting rights in the Company (such amount does not include the Shares
tendered into the Offer). Completion of the Transaction will entail that the
Buyers, together with its related parties, will on an aggregated basis hold
Shares in excess of the 1/3 mandatory offer threshold as set out in section 6-1
of the STA.

Subject to settlement of the Transaction and completion of the Offer having
occurred, the Buyers will contribute the Shares acquired pursuant to the
Transaction to the Offeror, and the Offeror intends to make a mandatory offer to
acquire the remaining Shares in accordance with chapter 6 of the STA at a price
of NOK 35.00 per Share.

If the Offeror becomes the owner of 90% or more of the Shares and voting rights
in the Company, the Offeror intends to proceed with a compulsory acquisition of
the remaining Shares pursuant to section 4-25 of the Norwegian Public Companies
Act and section 6-22 of the STA.

If the remaining closing conditions are not fulfilled or waived by the Offeror
and completion of the Offer does not occur, then the Shares acquired in the
Transaction will be sold in the market within four weeks of the mandatory offer
obligation having been triggered and no mandatory offer will be made.
