NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, HONG KONG 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.

Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by Napatech A/S
(the "Company") earlier today regarding the launch of a private placement of new
shares in the Company through an accelerated book-building process (the "Private
Placement").

Following close of the bookbuilding period, the Company is pleased to announce
that the Private Placement has been successfully completed, and that its Board
of Directors (the "Board") has allocated 9,000,000 offer shares (the "Offer
Shares") at a subscription price of NOK 25.00 per Offer Share (the "Subscription
Price"), raising NOK 225 million in gross proceeds.

The Private Placement was significantly oversubscribed and attracted interest
from high-quality accounts, as well as receiving strong support from existing
shareholders.

ABG Sundal Collier ASA and SpareBank 1 Markets AS (together, the "Managers")
acted as managers in connection with the Private Placement.

The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement will be used to
finance the growth opportunity arising from announced partnerships (resulting in
the increased guidance), including i.a. hiring of more developers and working
capital requirements in connection with increased production, as well as for
general corporate purposes.

Settlement of the Offer Shares is expected to take place on or about 13 May 2024
on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis by delivery of existing and
unencumbered shares in the Company that are already listed on Oslo Børs pursuant
to a share lending agreement entered into between the Company, the Managers and
an existing shareholder (the "Share Lender"). The Offer Shares will thus be
tradable from allocation, expected from and including 8 May 2024.

Based on Article 5.2 in the Company's Articles of Association pursuant to which
the Board is authorised to increase the share capital without pre-emption rights
for existing shareholders pursuant to the authorisation granted to the Board by
the general meeting held on 25 April 2024, the Board has resolved to issue the
9,000,000 Offer Shares, all of which will be subscribed by the Managers and,
once issued, will be delivered to the Share Lender as settlement of shares
borrowed in relation to settlement of the Private Placement.

Notification of allocation, including settlement instructions, are expected to
be distributed by the Managers on or about 8 May 2024.

Following registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the Offer
Shares with the Danish Business Authority, the Company will have a share capital
of DKK 24,820,800 divided into 99,283,200 shares, each with a par value of DKK
0.25.

The Private Placement represents approximately 9.97% of the current registered
share capital before the Private Placement and approximately 9.06% of the
registered share capital post the Private Placement.

The Offer Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing shares
in the Company. The Offer Shares will be negotiable instruments and no
restrictions will apply to their transferability. Rights conferred by the Offer
Shares, including voting rights and dividend rights, will apply from the time
when the capital increase is registered with the Danish Business Authority.

The Private Placement represents a deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive
right to subscribe for the Offer Shares. The Board has considered the Private
Placement in light of the equal treatment obligations under the Norwegian
Securities Trading Act, the rules on equal treatment under Oslo Rule Book II for
companies admitted to trading on Euronext Oslo and the Oslo Stock Exchange's
Guidelines on the rule of equal treatment, and deems that the proposed Private
Placement is in compliance with these obligations. The Board is of the view that
it will be in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders to raise
equity through a private placement. By structuring the equity raise as a private
placement, the Company is expected to raise equity efficiently, with a lower
discount to the current trading price, at a lower cost and with a significantly
reduced completion risk compared to a rights issue. The Subscription Price has
been set higher than the last closing price of the Company's shares on Oslo Børs
prior to the Private Placement. Further, it was of particular importance to
reduce the completion risk as the net proceeds from the Private Placement will
be used to finance growth opportunities. The Company has considered a rights
issue instead of a private placement. The Company is of the opinion that a
rights issue would have to be on a fairly significant discount, and guaranteed
by a consortium of underwriters which would also be an added cost for the
Company. In summary, the Company expects to be in a position to complete the
share issue in today's market conditions in an efficient manner, at a higher
subscription price and at significantly lower cost and with a lower completion
risk than would have been the case for a rights issue. As a consequence of the
private placement structure, the shareholders' preferential rights to subscribe
for the Offer Shares will be deviated from pursuant to the Board Authorization.
For the same reasons as described above, the Company will not carry out a
subsequent repair issue directed towards shareholders that were not allocated
shares in the Private Placement.

Advokatfirmaet Wiersholm AS is acting as legal counsel to the Company in
connection with the Private Placement. Accura is acting as Danish legal counsel
to the Company in connection with the Private Placement.
