Kalera AS: Contemplated private placement

Oslo, 24 February 2021. Kalera AS ("Kalera" or the "Company", ticker code
"KAL"), a technology leader in urban vertical hydroponics and one of the fastest
growing vertical farming companies in the United States, has engaged ABG Sundal
Collier ASA, Arctic Securities AS and Pareto Securities AS (the "Managers") to
advise on and effect a contemplated private placement of new shares (the "New
Shares") to raise gross proceeds of the NOK equivalent of approximately USD 30
million (the "Private Placement").

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to
finance the cash purchase price payable for the Company's strategic acquisition
of Vindara Inc., a company delivering seeds specifically designed for use in
indoor farms, and to further investment in rapid roll-out of the Vindara
business.

The price per New Share in the Private Placement (the "Offer Price") will be
determined by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") following an
accelerated bookbuilding process. The bookbuilding period in the Private
Placement will commence today, 24 February 2021 at 16:30 hours CET and is
expected to close on 25 February 2021 at 08:00 hours CET. The Managers and the
Company may, however, at any time in their sole discretion and on short notice
resolve to close or extend the bookbuilding period. If the bookbuilding period
is shortened or extended, any other dates referred to herein may be amended
accordingly.

The Private Placement will be directed towards Norwegian and international
investors, in each case subject to an exemption being available from offer
prospectus requirements and any other filing or registration requirements in the
applicable jurisdictions and subject to other selling restrictions. The minimum
application and allocation amount has been set to the NOK equivalent of EUR
100,000. The Company may, however, at its sole discretion, allocate an amount
below EUR 100,000 to the extent applicable exemptions from the prospectus
requirement pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and ancillary
regulations are available.

Allocation of the shares in the Private Placement will be determined at the end
of the bookbuilding period, and final allocation will be made by the Board at
its sole discretion, following advice from the Managers.

The Company will announce the final offer price and the number of Offer Shares
allocated in the Private Placement through a stock exchange notice expected to
be published before opening of the trading on Oslo Stock Exchange on 25 February
2021.

Settlement of the Private Placement will be on a delivery versus payment basis
(normal t+2) by delivery of existing and unencumbered shares in the Company,
that are already listed on Euronext Growth Oslo, pursuant to a share lending
agreement between the Managers, the Company and Canica AS. The shares delivered
to investors will thus be tradable upon allocation. The Managers will settle the
share loan with new shares in the Company to be issued in connection with the
Private Placement.

Completion of the Private Placement by delivery of New Shares to investors is
subject to the corporate resolutions of the Company required to implement the
Private Placement, including a resolution of the Board to proceed with the
Private Placement following the expiry of the bookbuilding period and to
increase the share capital of the Company by the issuance of the New Shares
pursuant to the authorisation granted by the Company's general meeting on 23
October 2020. The Board reserves the right to cancel the Private Placement at
any time and for any reason prior to delivery of the New Shares.
