Oslo, 12 November 2025: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement by
Instabank ASA (“Instabank” or the “Company”) on 7 November 2025 regarding the
board of directors' resolution to carry out a subsequent offering (the
"Subsequent Offering") of up to 10,000,000 new shares at a subscription price of
NOK 2.90 per new share (the "Subscription Price").

The Subsequent Offering consists of an offer by the Company to issue up to
10,000,000 new shares (the "Offer Shares"), each with a nominal value of NOK 1,
at a Subscription Price of NOK 2.90 per Offer Share, being equal to the
subscription price in the private placement (the “Private Placement”) and the
retail offering via the PrimaryBid platform completed on 25 September 2025.
Subject to all Offer Shares being issued, the Subsequent Offering will result in
NOK 29,000,000 in gross proceeds to the Company.

The subscription period for the Subsequent Offering will commence today, 12
November 2025, at 09:00 hours (CET) and end at 16:30 hours (CET) on 24 November
2025 (the "Subscription Period").

The Subsequent Offering is available to shareholders of the Company as of close
of trading on 25 September 2025, as registered in the Company's register of
shareholders with Euronext Securities Oslo on 29 September 2025 (the "Record
Date"), and who (i) were not allocated shares in the Private Placement, and (ii)
are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or,
would (in jurisdictions other than Norway) require a prospectus, filing
registration or similar action (the "Eligible Shareholders").

The Eligible Shareholders will be granted non-tradeable subscription rights (the
"Subscription Rights") that, subject to applicable law, give a right to
subscribe for and be allocated shares in the Subsequent Offering at the
Subscription Price. The Eligible Shareholders will be granted 0.06018
Subscription Rights for each existing share registered as held by such Eligible
Shareholder as of the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole
Subscription Right. The Subscription Rights will be registered on each Eligible
Shareholder's VPS account. Over-subscription will be permitted. Subscription
without Subscription Rights will not be permitted.

Further information about the Subsequent Offering and the subscription
procedures is included in the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) prepared for the
offering of Offer Shares to Eligible Shareholders in the Subsequent Offering.
The Prospectus has been registered with the Norwegian Register of Business
Enterprises and is available at www.dnb.no/emisjoner. The Prospectus is a
national prospectus (Nw. nasjonalt prospekt) and neither the Financial
Supervisory Authority of Norway (Nw. Finanstilsynet) nor any other public
authority has carried out any form of review, control or approval of the
Prospectus. The Prospectus does not constitute an EEA-prospectus, as defined in
section 7-1 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. Subscriptions for Offer
Shares may only be made on the basis of the Prospectus.

The Subscription Rights must be used to subscribe for Offer Shares prior to
expiry of the Subscription Period on 24 November 2025 at 16:30 hours (CET).
Subscription Rights that are not used to subscribe for Offer Shares before the
expiry of the Subscription Period will have no value and will lapse without
compensation to the holder.

The payment date for the Offer Shares is 27 November 2025. Subject to timely
payment of the Offer Shares subscribed for and allocated in the Subsequent
Offering, the issuance and delivery of the Offer Shares pertaining to the
Subsequent Offering is expected to be completed as soon as possible following
registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the Offer Shares and
issue of the new shares in the VPS. The Offer Shares are expected to commence
trading on Euronext Growth Oslo as soon as possible thereafter.

Subsequent Offering. Advokatfirmaet Thommessen AS is acting as legal advisor to
the Company in relation to the Subsequent Offering.
