Kalera AS: Private placement successfully completed

Oslo, 24 February 2021. Reference is made to the stock exchange notice from
Kalera AS ("Kalera" or the "Company", ticker code "KAL"), published earlier
today, 24 February 2021, regarding a contemplated private placement (the
"Private Placement").

Kalera is pleased to announce that the Private Placement has been successfully
completed with a total transaction size of approximately NOK 262 million
(equivalent to approx. USD 31 million) through the allocation of 5,750,000
shares in the Company at a price of NOK 45.50 per share (the "New Shares"). The
net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used 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 Private
Placement attracted strong support and interest from Norwegian and international
high-quality investors and was significantly oversubscribed.
Allocation to investors will be communicated on or about 25 February 2021.
Investors having access to investor services through their VPS manager will be
able to check the number of shares allocated to them from about 09:00 hours
(CET) on 25 February 2021. The Managers may also be contacted for information
regarding allocations.

The Private Placement will be settled by the Managers (as hereinafter defined)
on a delivery-versus-payment basis on or about 1 March 2021 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 the investors will thus be
tradable upon allocation. Following registration of the share capital increase
pertaining to the Private Placement in the Norwegian Registry of Business
Enterprises, the Company will have 166,774,239 shares outstanding, each with a
par value of NOK 0.01.

The Private Placement implies a deviation from the shareholders' preferential
right to the new shares under the Norwegian Private Limited Companies Act. The
board of directors of the Company (the "Board") has considered this and is of
the view that it would be in the best interest of the Company and its
shareholders to deviate from the shareholders' preferential right to the New
Shares in the Private Placement and that this would also be in compliance with
the provisions of the Norwegian Private Limited Companies Act, the rules of
equal treatment under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Oslo Rule Book II
for companies listed on Euronext Growth Oslo, and the Oslo Stock Exchange's
Guidelines on the rule of equal treatment.

In reaching this conclusion, the Board inter alia emphasized that:

o the proposed subscription price of NOK 45.50 per share is based on the
investor interest obtained following pre-sounding of the transaction with
wall-crossed investors and a publicly announced bookbuilding process conducted
by leading investment banks and the price represent professional investors' view
of the market price for the shares for a share offering of this size.

o the price represented a limited discount to the prices at which the shares had
been traded on Euronext Growth Oslo prior to the announcement of the Private
Placement (0.4% discount to VWAP on the trading day 24 February 2021) and the
number of new shares represent only 3.5% of the existing number of shares in the
Company.

o a share issue in the form of a private placement enables the Company to
capitalize on current market conditions which are deemed beneficial to the
interest of the Company and its shareholders. Such benefits are not obtainable
by structures with longer lead time such as a rights offering.
