for investments in assets related to the delivery of its backlog, working
capital needs until full contract production in mid-2023, and to reduce
short-term debt. On 1 February 2023, the company launched the prospectus for a
subsequent offering of up to NOK 50 million directed toward eligible
shareholders. In order to update the eligible shareholders in the subsequent

Additional information:
Nordic Unmanned serves the drone market through two main business models, namely
operator of European advanced drone services and sales of proprietary drone
technology as original equipment manufacturer (OEM). In addition, the company
has a leading position in emission measurement and verifications services in the
Norwegian market through its NUMar business unit and Ecoxy AS.

Nordic Unmanned is a provider of unmanned airborne maritime surveillance
services to government customers in Europe, operating fixed wing and rotary
drone systems Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS). Total flight hours in 2022
were approximately 3000 hours, twice the activity level of 2021, using large
drone systems with state-of-the-art sensors for pollution monitoring, fishery
control, maritime and border surveillance. This year, the company will also
commence operations and record regular flight hours from remote operations of
drone-in-a-box. With current framework contracts and known opportunities, total
BVLOS flight hours are set to double again in 2023.

Nordic Unmanned's OEM business experienced significant traction across its
product families in 2022. Germany-based subsidiary AirRobot is expected to start
delivery of the first batch of the AR-100H small reconnaissance drone system to
the German Bundeswehr under the MIKADO II program in Q2 2023, following German
military airworthiness certification. Once completed, the airworthiness
certification will be the first of its kind for this drone type in NATO. The
sensor and sensor software developed for the AR-100H is also currently being
prepared for production for delivery to Lockheed Martin UK Ltd. The sensor will
be integrated with the Lockheed Martin Indago 4 drone for delivery under the
10-year TIQUILA drone program for the UK Ministry of Defense. The first order
was announced on 21 December 2022, and follow-on orders are expected in the
coming months.

Majority-owned, Belgium-based, DroneMatrix N.V. is expected to complete the
rollout of 6 YACOB drone-in-a-box systems for Port of Antwerp in Q1 2023. In
addition, the Belgian rail infrastructure company Infrabel recently signed a
9-year framework contract for 4 YACOB systems to be used for automated
surveillance of rail assets. The recent orders positions DroneMatrix as a leader
in the emerging European drone-in-a-box market.


Landmark contracts awarded in H2 2022 adds to an already solid backlog and lay
the foundation for the next phase of development for the group. While drone
flight services have been the dominant source of revenue historically, the sale
of proprietary drone platforms and technology will make a significant
contribution this year.
