Haugesund, 24 March 2023: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcements
by Edda Wind ASA (the "Company") on 2 March and 3 March 2023 regarding the
successfully placed private placement (the “Private Placement”) of new shares in
the Company (the Offer Shares”), raising gross proceeds of NOK 1.2 billion and
the calling for an extraordinary general meeting (the “EGM”) in the Company to
approve Tranche 2 (as defined below) of the Private Placement.

The Private Placement consists of one tranche of 6,431,448 Offer Shares
(“Tranche 1”) and a second tranche of 41,568,552 Offer Shares (“Tranche 2”). New
shares in Tranche 1 were issued on 6 March 2023 pursuant to the board
authorization to issue new shares granted by the annual general meeting held on
6 May 2022. The issue of new shares in Tranche 2 was subject to approval by the
EGM.

The EGM was held today and all resolutions on the agenda were approved,
including the share capital increase pertaining to the issue of new shares in
Tranche 2. Minutes from the EGM are attached to this notice and will be made
available on the Company's website: www.eddawind.com.

Offer Shares allocated to investors in Tranche 2 (other than to the Company’s
four largest shareholders, the “Main Shareholders”) are now tradable on Oslo
Børs following the approval by the EGM and will be settled with existing and
unencumbered shares in the Company that are already listed on Oslo Børs based on
a share-lending arrangement between the Company, Wilhelmsen New Energy AS (as
share-lender) and DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA (on behalf of the managers
for the Private Placement), and Offer Shares in Tranche 2 (other than to the
Main Shareholders) are expected to be delivered DVP on a T+2 basis on or about
28 March 2023.

It is expected that the share capital increase relating to the issuance of the
new shares in Tranche 2 will be registered with the Norwegian Register of
Business Enterprises (the “NRBE") on or about 29 March 2023, for delivery to the
Main Shareholders pursuant to allocation of Offer Shares to them and re-delivery
of borrowed shares to Wilhelmsen New Energy AS as share-lender. Following
registration with the NRBE, the issued share capital of the Company is expected
to be NOK 11,231,448.80 comprising 112,314,488 shares, each with a nominal value
of NOK 0.1.

It is expected that a listing prospectus for the new shares to be issued in
Tranche 2 (the "Prospectus") will be approved by the Norwegian Financial
Supervisory Authority on or about the same time as the registration of the share
capital increase pertaining to Tranche 2 is registered with the NRBE. In the
event that the Prospectus is not approved at such time, the new shares in
Tranche 2 will recorded on a separate ISIN until the Prospectus is published.

ABG Sundal Collier ASA, Arctic Securities AS, DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank
ASA, Fearnley Securities AS and Pareto Securities AS (together, the “Managers”)
acted as Joint Bookrunners in the Private Placement. Advokatfirmaet BAHR AS is
acting as legal advisor to the Company in connection with the Private Placement,
and Advokatfirmaet Wiersholm AS is acting as legal advisor to the Managers.
