Oslo, 15 August 2023

Reference is made to the announcement dated 6 July 2023 by Unifon Holding AS
(the "Offeror") of the issue of the offer document (the "Offer Document") and
the start of the offer period (the "Offer Period") for the recommended voluntary
cash offer to acquire all outstanding shares (the "Shares") in Nortel AS (the
"Company") at an offer price of NOK 27.50 per Share (the "Offer").

As of 14 August at 16.30 hours (CEST), subject to customary verification, the
Offeror has received acceptances of the Offer, including the pre-acceptances,
for a total of 16,481,689 Shares, representing approx. 87.65% of the outstanding
Shares and voting rights in the Company.

A condition of the Offer, as further set out under section 1.6, is a minimum
acceptance by shareholders of 90% of the outstanding Shares and voting rights in
the Company.

As this condition has not been met, the Offeror therefore hereby announces an
extension of the Offer Period until 28 August 2023 at 16:30 hours (CEST) in
accordance with Section 1.9 (Offer Period) and 1.14
(Amendments of the Offer) of the Offer Document.

As a consequence of the extension, the settlement of the Offer may be postponed
correspondingly. The Offeror maintains its right to further extend the Offer
Period (one or several times) on the terms and conditions set out in the Offer
Document, but not beyond 18 September 2023.

The other terms and conditions of the Offer will remain unchanged as set out in
the Offer Document.

Shareholders that want to accept the Offer must fill out and return the
acceptance form, which is included in the Offer Document, to DNB Bank ASA,
Registrar Department, acting as the receiving agent for the Offer, before expiry
of the extended Offer Period, on 16:30 hours (CEST) on 28 August 2023.

The completion of the Offer remains subject to the closing conditions as set out
in the Offer Document section 1.6.

It should be noted that the Offeror will not be required to make a subsequent
mandatory offer for the remaining shares in the Company should the Offer be
completed as Euronext Growth Oslo is not a regulated marketplace. In the event
the Offeror should decide to waive the 90% acceptance level and complete the
Offer with a lower acceptance level, a compulsory acquisition will then not be
forthcoming either.

For more information, please refer to the Offer Document dated 10 July 2023. The
Offer Document is available, subject to regulatory restrictions in certain
jurisdictions, at www.dnb.no/emisjoner.

where prohibited by applicable law, including, without limitation, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong and Japan. The Offeror does not

such restrictions. Persons into whose possession this announcement or such other
information should come are required to inform themselves about and to observe

the Shares. Investors may accept the Offer only on the basis of the information

Notice to U.S. Holders
U.S. Shareholders (as defined below) are advised that the Nortel Shares are not
listed on a U.S. securities exchange and that the Company is not subject to the
periodic reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "U.S. Exchange Act"), and is not required to, and does not, file
any reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
thereunder. The Offer is being made to Nortel Shareholders resident in the
United States ("U.S. Shareholders") on the same terms and conditions as those
made to all other Nortel Shareholders to whom an offer is made. Any information
documents, including this Offer Document, are being disseminated to U.S.
Shareholders on a basis comparable to the method that such documents are
provided to other Nortel Shareholders to whom an offer is made. The Offer is
being made by the Offeror and no one else.

The Offer relates to shares of a Norwegian company listed and trading on
Euronext Growth Oslo and is subject to the legal provisions regarding the
implementation and disclosure requirements for such an offer, which differ
substantially from the corresponding legal provisions of the United States. For
example, the financial statements and certain financial information in this
Offer Document have been determined in accordance with the Norwegian Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("NGAAP"), and may therefore not be comparable to
the financial statements or financial information of U.S. companies and other
companies whose financial information is determined in accordance with the
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States. Furthermore, the
payment and settlement procedure with respect to the Offer will comply with
established practice in the Norwegian market, which differ from payment and
settlement procedures customary in the United States, particularly with regard
to the payment date of the consideration.

The Offeror and its affiliates or brokers (acting as agents for the Offeror or
its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time, and other than pursuant to
the Offer, directly or indirectly, purchase or arrange to purchase, Nortel
Shares or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or
exercisable for such Nortel Shares outside the United States during the period
in which the Offer remains open for acceptance, so long as those acquisitions or
arrangements comply with applicable Norwegian law and practice and the
provisions of such exemption. Please see Section 1.21 (Acquisition of Nortel
Shares outside the Offer) in the Offer Document. To the extent information about
such purchases or arrangements to purchase is made public in Norway, such
information will be disclosed by means of a stock exchange notice, press release
or other means reasonably calculated to inform all Nortel Shareholder, including
U.S. Shareholders, of such information. In addition, the Financial Advisor may
also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of the Company,
which may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities.

It may be difficult for U.S. Shareholders to enforce their rights and claims
under U.S. federal securities laws because Nortel and the Offeror are Norwegian
companies and some or all of the relevant officers and directors of the Company
are resident outside of the United States. The Nortel Shareholders may not be
able to sue the Offeror or the Company or their respective officers or directors
in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws and it may be
difficult to compel the Offeror or the Company and their respective officers or
directors to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Offer by a U.S. Shareholder may be a taxable
transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable U.S. state
and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each U.S. Shareholder is
urged to consult its own legal, tax and financial advisors in connection with
making a decision regarding the Offer.

NEITHER THE SEC NOR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR
DISAPPROVED THE OFFER, OR PASSED ANY COMMENT UPON THE ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS
OF THIS OFFER DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE
IN THE IN THE UNITED STATES.
