SEE ALSO THE SECTION "IMPORTANT INFORMATION" BELOW IN THIS DOCUMENT.

OSLO, NORWAY - 3 DECEMBER 2024 - Reference is made to the stock exchange
announcement published by Zwipe AS (the "Company") on 7 November 2024, in which
the Company announced that its board of directors had resolved to propose that
the Company carries out a new issue of units, each consisting of one share and
one warrant, with preferential rights for existing shareholders with gross
proceeds of up to NOK 39.7 million (the "Rights Issue").

The Board of Directors has received subscription and guarantee commitments from
certain existing shareholders and external investors. Thus, the Rights Issue is
covered by subscription and guarantee commitments up to at least 41.9 percent,
equal to NOK 16.6 million.

Subscription and Guarantee Commitments

The Company has received subscription commitments from Board members Jörgen
Lantto and Dennis Jones, amounting to approximately 4.5 percent of the Rights
Issue.

To the extent the Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, a consortium of
guarantors, including board member David Chew, has agreed to subscribe and pay
for units in the Rights Issue up to an aggregate subscription rate corresponding
of 28 percent of the Rights Issue (the "Bottom Guarantee Commitments"). The
consortium providing the Bottom Guarantee Commitments will receive a 15 percent
underwriting fee.

In addition, the Company and Fenja Capital (the "Top Guarantor") has agreed that
the Top Guarantor shall subscribe and pay for units in the Rights Issue up to
13.9 percent of the Rights Issue (the "Top Guarantee Commitment"). The Top
Guarantor will receive an 8 percent underwriting fee.

Further information about the subscription commitments, the Bottom Guarantee
Commitments and the Top Guarantee Commitment will be provided in the prospectus,
to be approved by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority on or about 5
December 2024.

Convertible Loan and Use of Proceeds

The Top Guarantee Commitment will be fulfilled through the partial set-off of
NOK 5,514,472 of the Company's outstanding convertible loan of NOK 10,514,472
(the "2023 Convertible Loan"). If the Top Guarantor is allotted units amounting
to less than NOK 5,514,472, the balance between the allotted amount and NOK
5,514,472 shall be paid back in cash by the Company to the Top Guarantor, using
proceeds from the Rights Issue. The accrued interest under the 2023 Convertible
Loan, coupled with NOK 1,000,000 from the 2023 Convertible Loan, will be set-off
against the Top Guarantor's commitment under the Bottom Guarantee Commitments.

To accommodate the Top Guarantee Commitment, the use of proceeds outlined in the
Company's announcement on 7 November 2024 has been revised.

The remaining balance of the 2023 Convertible Loan, amounting to NOK 4.0
million, will be extended for another 12 months in the form of a new convertible
loan (the "New Convertible Loan"). This arrangement ensures the full settlement
of the 2023 Convertible Loan. The New Convertible Loan will carry an annual
interest rate of STIBOR + 10 percent.

The issuance of the New Convertible Loan is contingent on the approval of a
board authorization at the extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") scheduled for 3
December 2024, or alternatively, the approval at a subsequent EGM that either
authorizes the Company's board of directors to issue the New Convertible Loan or
directly resolves to issue the New Convertible Loan. As consideration for the
Top Guarantor agreeing to subscribe for the New Convertible Loan, the Top
Guarantor shall receive a fee of NOK 200,000 from the Company (the "Arrangement
Fee"). The Arrangement Fee shall be added to the total nominal amount of the New
Convertible Loan and not be paid in cash, which means that the total nominal
amount of the New Convertible Loan shall amount to a total of NOK 4,200,000.

The Company has also issued 60,000,000 contractual stock options to the Top
Guarantor (the "Stock Options"). The Stock Options can be exercised up until 31
December 2026 and each Stock Option entitles to subscribe to one (1) new share
in Zwipe at a price of 70 percent of VWAP during the ten trading days that
immediately precede every third month-end, starting in April 2025, however no
lower than the quota value of the Company's share and not higher than 150
percent of the subscription price in the Rights Issue. The Stock Options can be
exercised on 30 April 2025 at the earliest.

The issuance of shares upon exercise of the Share Options is contingent upon
either a resolution by the Company's general meeting to issue the corresponding
shares in accordance with the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act,
or the Company's board of directors issuing the shares pursuant to an
authorization granted under the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies
Act.

Changes to item 5 of the EGM notice

The Bottom Guarantee Commitments and Top Guarantee Commitment necessitate
changes to resolution 5 proposed for the EGM on 3 December 2024. As these
changes do not affect shareholders' preferential rights under Section 10-4 of
the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act, the Company's board of
directors has determined that these amendments are in the best interests of the
Company and its shareholders. An updated proposal for item 5 in the notice for
the EGM will be distributed prior to the meeting.

Robert Puskaric, CEO of Zwipe comments:

"We are very grateful for the continued support from existing shareholders and
new investors. By securing part of the rights issue, the management team can
focus on developing Zwipe further and continuing our sales efforts."

Advisor
Zwipe has engaged Bergs Securities AB and Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS as financial
