NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, HONG KONG, SOUTH AFRICA OR THE UNITED
STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR
DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER
OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Oslo, 17 December 2024. Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement
published by Lytix Biopharma AS ("Lytix Biopharma" or the "Company") yesterday,
on 16 December 2024 regarding a contemplated private placement raising NOK
90-100 million in gross proceeds (the "Private Placement") and 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
contemplated private placement, the "Offer Shares").

The Company is pleased to announce that the Private Placement has been
successfully completed, and that it has allocated 16,666,667 Offer Shares at a
subscription price of NOK 6.00 per share in the Private Placement, raising gross
proceeds of NOK 100 million. Allocations to pre-committed investors:
o Saturn Invest AS: NOK 19 million,
o Jakob Hatteland Holding AS: NOK 10 million,
o TAJ Holding AS: NOK 10 million, and
o The Paul B. Manning Revocable Trust dated May 10, 2000: NOK equivalent of USD
0.1 million.

The NOK 25 million shareholder guarantee provided by Jakob Hatteland Holding AS
and TAJ Holding AS was not drawn upon.

Additionally, the Company has allocated 1,882,464 Offer Shares at a subscription
price of NOK 6.00 per Offer Share in the PrimaryBid Offering, raising gross
proceeds of approximately NOK 11.3 million.

The PrimaryBid Offering attracted strong interest from both new and existing
investors, with participation from over 200 retail investors across Norway,
Denmark and Finland.

"Lytix is now a mature biotech company with a robust and promising portfolio of
clinical studies in large cancer indications globally. This capital raise allows
us to fast-track our lead drug candidate LTX-315 towards commercialisation
through a potential phase III study with our licensing partner Verrica, whilst
at the same time bring our next generation molecule LTX-401 into clinical
stage", says Dr. Øystein Rekdal, CEO of Lytix Biopharma.

Lytix is a Norwegian biotechnology company with three phase II studies in skin
cancer diseases. The company has a licensing agreement with US listed Verrica
Pharmaceuticals for treatment of basal cell carcinoma, the most common skin
cancer disease globally with more than 3 million cases in the US alone each
year.

"We are very happy having concluded a successful capital raise, with both strong
support from existing shareholders, as well as bringing onboard new and solid
investors. In addition, I am very happy to see the significant and increased
interest from retail investors that participated in the offering through
PrimaryBid and Nordnet. We end 2024 on a high note and look forward to progress
our development into 2025, with several exciting milestones ahead", adds Rekdal.


Notifications of allocations and payment instructions in the Private Placement
are expected to be distributed to applicants on 17 December 2024.

Settlement of the Offer Shares in the Private Placement will be split between
Tranche 1 and Tranche 2. Settlement of Tranche 1 is expected to take place on or
about 19 December 2024. The Offer Shares in Tranche 1 will be settled on a
delivery-versus-payment ("DvP") basis with existing and unencumbered shares in
the Company that are already listed on Euronext Growth Oslo, to be borrowed from
certain existing shareholders (in their capacity as such, the "Share Lenders")
by the Managers pursuant to a share lending agreement to be entered into between
the Managers, the Company and the Share Lenders (the "Share Lending Agreement").
The share loan will be settled with new shares in the Company resolved issued by
the Board pursuant to an authorization to increase the Company's share capital
granted by the Company's general meeting held on 14 May 2024 (the "Board
Authorization"). The Tranche 1 Offer Shares are tradeable upon allocation.

Larger existing shareholders in the Company will receive settlement in Tranche
2. These applicants will not receive DVP settlement, but will receive Offer
Shares once the relevant capital increase resolved pursuant to the Board
Authorization has been registered with the Norwegian Register of Business
Enterprises. As such, these persons cannot trade any Offer Shares before
actually having received the Offer Shares in their respective VPS accounts.

Payment date for Offer Shares in Tranche 2 is on 19 December 2024, with delivery
of Offer Shares in Tranche 2 expected to take place on or about 20 December
2024.

Settlement of the Offer Shares in the PrimaryBid Offering is expected to take
place on or about 19 December 2024. The Offer Shares will be settled on a DvP
basis with existing and unencumbered shares in the Company borrowed under the
Share Lending Agreement. The Offer Shares allocated in the PrimaryBid Offering
are tradeable on 17 December 2024.

The Board has resolved to increase the Company's share capital with NOK
1,865,169.9 by the issuance of 18,651,699 new shares. The share capital increase
relates to the Offer Shares to be issued in the Private Placement and the
PrimaryBid Offering and 102,568 shares to be issued to settle part of the fee to
underwriters in the Private Placement. Following registration of the share
capital increases, the Company will have a share capital of NOK 6,826,200.2
divided into 68,262,002 shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.10.

Equal treatment considerations and subsequent offering

The Private Placement and the PrimaryBid Offering represents a deviation from
the shareholders' pre-emptive right to subscribe for the Offer Shares. The Board
has considered the structure of the Private Placement and PrimaryBid Offering in
light of the equal treatment obligations under the Norwegian Private Limited
Companies Act, the rules on equal treatment under Euronext Growth Rule Book II
and the Oslo Stock Exchange's guidelines on the rule of equal treatment, and is
of the opinion that the Private Placement and PrimaryBid Offering are in
compliance with these requirements. By structuring the transaction as a private
placement, the Company is in a position to raise capital in an efficient manner
with a lower discount to the current trading price and with significantly lower
completion risks compared to a rights issue. Furthermore, by including the
PrimaryBid Offering, the Company made the offering more accessible to all of its
existing shareholders.

On this basis and based on an assessment of the current equity markets, the
Board has considered the Private Placement and PrimaryBid Offering to be in the
common interest of the Company and its shareholders.

To mitigate the dilutive effects for the existing shareholders not participating
in the Private Placement, the Company will, subject to completion of the Private
Placement and the PrimaryBid Offering and certain other conditions including
preparation of national prospectus and approval by the Company's general
meeting, carry out a subsequent repair offering of up to NOK 10 million, which
is equivalent to 1,666,666 new shares, at NOK 6.00 per share (the "Subsequent
Offering").The Subsequent Offering will be directed towards existing
shareholders in the Company as of 16 December 2024 (as registered in the VPS two
trading days thereafter), 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 any
prospectus, filing, registration or similar action.
