Oslo, Norway, 27 August 2025

Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published earlier today by Saga Pure ASA ("Saga Pure" or the "Company") regarding a contemplated fully underwritten private placement (the "Private Placement") of new shares in the Company (the "New Shares") directed at existing shareholders.

The Company is pleased to announce that the Private Placement has been successfully completed, raising gross proceeds of NOK 121.5 million, equivalent to approx. USD 12 million, through the conditional allocation of a total of 90,000,000 New Shares each at a subscription price of NOK 1.35 per New Share (the "Subscription Price").

The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement will be used to (i) pursue the Company’s strategy (ii) to strengthen the Company's financial flexibility and (iii) for general corporate purposes.

The existing shareholder Tycoon Industrier AS had, subject to customary conditions, committed to fully underwrite the Private Placement pursuant to an underwriting agreement entered into with the Company (the "UWA") (the "Underwriter"). The Underwriter was allocated 82,664,863 New Shares in the Private Placement for a total amount of approx. NOK 111.6 million.

The share capital increase pertaining to the Private Placement and the issuance of the 90,000,000 New Shares was adopted by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") pursuant to an authorisation granted by the Company's annual general meeting held on 28 May 2024.

Following registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the Private Placement with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises, the Company will have a share capital of NOK 5,748,784.23 divided into 574,878,423shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.01.

Notifications of allotment of the New Shares and payment instructions are expected to be distributed to the applicants through a notification from the Manager on or about 28 August 2025.

Settlement of the New Shares is expected to take place on or about 1 September 2025. The New Shares will be settled through a delivery versus payment (DVP) transaction on a regular T+2 basis with existing and unencumbered shares in the Company that are already traded on Euronext Oslo Stock Exchange, pursuant to a share lending arrangement between the Company, the Manager, and Tycoon Industrier AS as the lender. All the New Shares will be subscribed for by the Manager and, once issued, will be delivered to the Tycoon Industrier AS as settlement of shares borrowed in relation to settlement of the Private Placement.

The Board considered the contemplated Private Placement in light of the equal treatment obligations under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Oslo Børs' Circular no. 2/2014 and deemed the Private Placement to be in compliance with these requirements. The Board held the view that it would be in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders to raise equity through a private placement, in light of the current market conditions and the growth opportunities currently available to the Company. A private placement enabled the Company to raise capital in an efficient manner, and the Private Placement was structured to ensure that a market-based subscription price was achieved.  On this basis, the Board has considered the proposed transaction structure and the Private Placement to be in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders.

Taking into consideration that the Private Placement was completed at a subscription price representing a slight premium to the closing price on 27 August 2025, and that it was conducted as a publicly announced application process, the Board has concluded to not conduct any subsequent offering.

This information is considered to be inside information pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and is subject to the disclosure requirements pursuant to Section 5-12 the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. The stock exchange announcement was published by Tore Jakob Berg, CFO of Saga Pure ASA, at the time and date stated above in this announcement.
