19 November 2024

Reference is made to the unregulated recommended voluntary cash offer to acquire
all issued and outstanding shares in Everfuel A/S (the "Company" or "Everfuel")
except for shares acquired from the Rollover Shareholders (as defined in the
offer document dated 2 September 2024 (the "Offer Document")) or held in
treasury by the Company (the "Offer") by Faro BidCo ApS (the "Offeror") at NOK
13 per share, as further set out in the Offer Document. Further reference is
made to the announcement published on 15 November 2024 that the Offer had become
unconditional and that the settlement of the Offer was expected to be completed
on 19 November 2024.

The Offeror hereby announces that the Offer has been completed, and that
settlement has been made in accordance with the terms outlined in Section 1.15
("Settlement of the Offer") of the Offer Document.

The Offeror acquired 13,394,077 shares under the Offer, which, when taken
together with the shares acquired from the Rollover Shareholders, brings the
Offeror's total holding in the Company to 78,147,881 shares, representing
approximately 90.5% of the issued and outstanding share capital and voting
rights in the Company.

As the Offeror has become the owner of more than 90% of the shares and voting
rights in the Company, the Offeror intends to carry out a compulsory acquisition
of the remaining shares in the Company pursuant to sections 70 and 72 of the
Danish Companies Act at a price of NOK 13 per Everfuel share. A separate stock
exchange announcement will be published when the compulsory acquisition has been
resolved by the board of directors of the Offeror. The Offeror also intends to
take steps to delist the Company's shares from Euronext Growth Oslo.

Forward-looking statements

This announcement, verbal statements made regarding the Offer and other
information published by the Offeror may contain certain statements about the
Company, the Offeror and their respective affiliates and businesses as well as
the timing and procedures relating to the Offer and potential amendments to the
Offer that are or may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are
beyond the Offeror's and the Company's control and all of which are based on the
Offeror's current beliefs and expectations about future events. Forward-looking
statements are typically identified by the use of forward-looking terminology
such as "believes", "expects", "may", "will", "could", "should", "intends",
"estimates", "plans", "assumes" or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or
other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of
strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. Examples of forward-looking
statements include, among others, statements regarding the Company's or the
Offeror's future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges,
business strategy, leverage, payment of dividends, projected levels of growth,
projected costs, estimates of capital expenditures, and plans and objectives for
future operations and other statements that are not historical fact. By their
nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they
relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future.
These events and circumstances include changes in the global, political,
economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange
and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business combinations or
disposals. If any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialises or if
any one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ
materially from those expected, estimated or projected. Such forward looking
statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors. Neither
the Company, the Offeror, the Rollover Shareholders, nor any member of their
respective groups, nor any of their respective members, associates or directors,
officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that
the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking
statements in this announcement will actually occur. Given these risks and
uncertainties, potential investors should not place any reliance on forward
looking statements.

Any forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date they are
made. The Company, the Offeror and the Rollover Shareholders disclaim any
obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any
forward-looking statements contained in this announcement to reflect any change
in the expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statement is based.

No profit forecasts or estimates

No statement in this announcement is intended as a profit forecast or profit
estimate and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean
that earnings or earnings per share for the current or future financial years
would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings or earning
per share.

Rounding

Certain figures included in this announcement have been subjected to rounding
adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown for the same category presented in
different tables may vary slightly and figures shown as totals in certain tables
may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them.
