COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Dec. 22, 2022 – Napatech™ (OSLO: NAPA.OL), the leading
provider of programmable Smart Network Interface Cards (SmartNICs) and
Infrastructure Processing Units (IPU) used in cloud, enterprise and telecom
datacenter networks today announced it has entered into a material and
multi-faceted agreement with a tier-1 global semiconductor leader to develop new
hardware and software solutions.

The contract executed on December 21, 2022, meets the threshold of material
insider information and is thus subject to disclosure per the Oslo Stock
Exchange regulations. The initial terms of the multi-year agreement total $5M
USD in revenue during the first year, with $4M USD invoiced in December 2022.

The contract, and its associated terms, represents a significant milepost by
Napatech in executing upon its strategic plan. It provides both validation of
the product and technology vision that the company has set, and an infusion of
capital to continue to expand its investments to fulfill its goals.

This transformational business agreement includes commercial and operational
terms that provide additional value to Napatech. The details will be disclosed
in the first quarter of 2023, subject to agreement by this partner, and will
include product, technology, business and commercial terms.

“The initial scope of the agreement defines the development of new hardware and
software solutions that align with the highest growth areas of the market,” said
Ray Smets, chief executive officer at Napatech. “This allows us to access a new
set of customers whose applications and services are fueling demand, unlocking
Napatech’s strategic value for customers and shareholders.”
