Oslo, 24 February 2026: Huddly AS ("Huddly" or the "Company", ticker: HDLY)
hereby announces a contemplated private placement of approx. NOK 55-75 million
(the "Offer Size"), equivalent to 2,750,000- 3,750,000 new shares (the "Offer
Shares") offered by the Company (the "Private Placement"). Reference is also

The price per Offer Share in the Private Placement is fixed at NOK 20.00 (the

The net proceeds from the Private Placement to the Company will be used to (i)
repay NOK 30.75 million of a loan from certain current and former shareholders
due 9 June 2026 (the maturity for the remaining portion has been extended by 12
months) and (ii) bridge the deficit until cash flow positive (which is expected
to occur during H2 2026) including continued investments in R&D for roll-out and
improvement of new products, onboarding of new strategic partners, expansion of
channel sales and general working capital requirements to support growth.

2026, at 16:30 (CET) and ends tomorrow, 25 February 2026, at 08:00 (CET) (the

discretion, close or extend the Application Period at any time and for any
reason and on short or without notice. If the Application Period is shortened or
extended, the other dates referred to herein may be amended accordingly.

Certain other existing shareholders in the Company, each holding 0.75% or more
of the current shares outstanding in the Company, have collectively indicated
that they will subscribe for more than NOK 28.5 million in the Private
Placement.

Selling restrictions
The Private Placement will be offered to investors subject to applicable
exemptions from relevant prospectus requirements in accordance with Regulation
(EU) 2017/1129 (the “Prospectus Regulation”) and is directed towards investors
subject to available exemptions from relevant registration requirements, (i)
outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the US Securities
Act of 1933 (the “US Securities Act”) and (ii) in the United States to
“qualified institutional buyers” (QIBs) as defined in Rule 144A under the US
Securities Act, pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements
under the US Securities Act as well as to major U.S. institutional investors
under SEC Rule 15a-6 to the United States Exchange Act of 1934.

The minimum subscription and allocation amount in the Private Placement will be
a number of Offer Shares corresponding to the NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000. The
Company may offer and allocate amounts below the NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000
in the Private Placement to the extent exemptions from prospectus requirements,
in accordance with applicable regulations, including the Norwegian Securities
Trading Act and the Prospectus Regulation, are available.

Allocation
Conditional allocation of Offer Shares will be made at the sole discretion of
the Board (in consultation with the Manager). The Board will focus on criteria
such as (but not limited to) indications from the pre-sounding phase of the
Private Placement, existing ownership in the Company, timeliness of order,
relative order size, sector knowledge, perceived investor quality and investment
horizon. The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to reject
and/or reduce any orders, in whole or in part. Allocation of Offer Shares
totalling a lower amount than applied for does not affect the Applicant’s
obligation to subscribe and pay for the Offer Shares allotted.

Notification of conditional allocation and payment instructions is expected to
be sent by the Manager on or about 25 February 2026 before 09:00 CET.

Conditions for completion
Completion of the Private Placement is subject to: (i) the Board resolving to
consummate the Private Placement and conditionally allocate the Offer Shares,
(ii) an extraordinary general meeting (the “EGM”) in the Company resolving to
approve the capital increase pertaining to the Private Placement and the
issuance of the Offer Shares, and (iii) the Share Lending Agreement (as defined
below) remaining in full force and effect (jointly referred to as the
“Conditions”).

The EGM for approval of the Private Placement and the issuance of the allocated
Offer Shares is expected to be held on 11 March 2026.

The Private Placement will be cancelled if the Conditions are not fulfilled. The
Company reserves the right to cancel the Private Placement at any time and for
any reason prior to the notification of conditional allocation. Neither the
Company nor the Manager will be liable for any losses incurred by applicants if
the Private Placement is cancelled irrespective of the reason for such
cancellation.

Settlement
The date for settlement of the Private Placement is expected to be on or about
13 March 2026. The settlement date for the Private Placement is subject to
delivery to the Manager of Borrowed Shares (as defined below) under a share
lending agreement entered into between the Company, the Manager, Sonstad AS and
Kolberg Motors AS (the "Share Lending Agreement"). The Offer Shares will thus
become tradable on Euronext Growth Oslo immediately after approval of the
Private Placement and issuance of the Offer Shares by the EGM, expected on or
about 11 March 2026.

The allocated Offer Shares will be delivered to the investor's VPS account on a
delivery-versus-payment ("DVP") basis. The DVP settlement for the Private
Placement will be facilitated pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement with
existing and unencumbered shares in the Company that are already admitted to
trading on Euronext Growth Oslo. Pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement, the
Manager will borrow up to a number of shares equal to the number of Offer Shares
allocated in the Private Placement (the "Borrowed Shares") to facilitate
settlement on DVP basis to investors in the Private Placement. The share lending
will be settled with new shares in the Company to be issued by the EGM.

Lock-ups
The Company and members of the Company’s management and Board have all agreed to
a 6-month lock-up in connection with the transaction.

Voting undertaking
Existing shareholders in the Company which are allocated Offer Shares in the
Private Placement will irrevocably undertake by the entering into of this
Application Form to vote on behalf of all its shares in the Company in favor of,
or give a voting proxy to be used in favor of, all of the Board's proposed
resolutions relating to the Private Placement and the Subsequent Repair Offering
at the EGM. This undertaking applies to all shares in the Company held or
controlled (directly or indirectly) by the Applicant as of the record date for
the EGM.

Equal treatment considerations – potential subsequent repair offering
The Board has considered the Private Placement in light of the equal treatment
obligations set out in the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act,
Euronext Growth Oslo Rule Book – Part II and Oslo Stock Exchange's guidelines on
equal treatment of shareholders, and the Board is of the opinion that the waiver
of the preferential rights inherent in the Private Placement, taking into
consideration the Company’s current financial situation and the time, costs and
risk of alternative methods of securing the desired funding, is in the joint
interest of the Company and its shareholders.

The Company may, subject to completion of the Private Placement, approval by the
EGM, and certain other conditions, resolve to carry out a subsequent repair
offering of new shares (the "Subsequent Offering") at the Offer Price which,
subject to applicable securities law, will be directed towards existing
shareholders in the Company as of 24 February 2026 (as registered in the VPS two
trading days thereafter), who (i) were not included in the pre-sounding phase of
the Private Placement, (ii) were not allocated Offer Shares in the Private
Placement, and (iii) are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering
would be unlawful or would (in jurisdictions other than Norway) require any
prospectus, filing, registration or similar.

Advisors
Pareto Securities AS is acting as sole manager and bookrunner in connection with
the Private Placement.
Advokatfirmaet Simonsen Vogt Wiig AS is acting as legal counsel to the Company.
