Oslo, 4 November 2025: Appear ASA ("Appear" or the "Company") announces today
the successful completion of the bookbuilding in its initial public offering
of shares (the "Offering", and together with the Listing (as defined below),
the "IPO"). Reference is also made to previous announcements by the Company
regarding the IPO.

The Company is pleased to welcome more than 5,000 new shareholders as the
Company's shares are expected to commence trading on Euronext Oslo Børs on 6
November 2025 (the "Listing"), following the completion of the Offering. The
Offering attracted significant interest from high quality investors, as well
as from the general public in Norway and Sweden, and was over 12 times
oversubscribed, excluding shares pre-allocated to cornerstone investors. The
offer price of NOK 66.50 (the "Offer Price") per Offer Share (as defined
below) implies a market capitalisation of the Company of approximately NOK 2.5
billion.

The Offering in brief:

A total number of 14,450,000 Offer Shares (as defined below) (including the
Additional Shares (as defined below)) were allocated at the Offer Price of NOK
66.50 in connection with the Offering for a total transaction size of
approximately NOK 961 million. The Offering represents approximately 35% of
the outstanding shares (including new and treasury shares) in the Company,
assuming that the Greenshoe Option (as defined below) is exercised in full.

The Company will issue 1,500,000 new shares in connection with the Offering
(the "New Shares"), raising gross proceeds to the Company of approx. NOK 100
million.

Certain shareholders of the Company (the "Selling Shareholders") will sell
11,450,000 shares (the "Sale Shares") in the Offering, representing
approximately 28% of the shares of Appear following the issue of New Shares.

The Managers (as defined below) have over-allotted 1,500,000 shares (the
"Additional Shares"), representing approximately 11.6% of the number of New
Shares and Sale Shares (together, the "Offer Shares") and corresponding to
gross proceeds of approx. NOK 100 million. In order to facilitate any
over-allotments, ABG Sundal Collier ASA (the "Stabilisation Manager")
exercised their option to borrow an equal number of shares from the Company
(the "Share Lender") pursuant to a share lending arrangement, for the purpose
of facilitating delivery of over-allotted shares.

Notifications of allocated Offer Shares and the corresponding amount to be
paid by investors are expected to be communicated to investors on or about 5
November 2025. Investors in the retail tranche and the employee tranche of the
Offering, having access to investor services through their Euronext Securities
(VPS) manager will be able to see how many Offer Shares they have been
allocated from on or about 5 November 2025. The Managers may also be contacted
for information regarding allocations.

As further described in the prospectus for the IPO dated 27 October 2025 (the
"Prospectus"), the Company has granted ABG Sundal Collier ASA (as
Stabilisation Manager), on behalf of the Managers, a greenshoe option to
purchase shares held in treasury by the Company, exercisable by the
Stabilisation Manager within 30 days from the first day of trading of the
Company's shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange, to cover any short position
resulting from the over-allotment of shares in the Offering. Separate
disclosures will be issued regarding the over-allotment and stabilisation
activities during the 30-day stabilisation period. In connection with the
Offering, lock-up undertakings have been entered into between the Managers and
the Company and certain primary insiders, for a period of 12 months, and
between each Selling Shareholder and the Managers for a period of six months.
The lock-up agreements are subject to certain exemptions, as described in the
Prospectus.

Following registration of the share capital increases pertaining to the
issuance of the New Shares in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises,
the Company's share capital will be NOK 1,236,510, divided into 41,217,000
shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.03. If the Greenshoe Option is
exercised in full, the Company will have a remaining holding of 621,205 shares
held in treasury.
