NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN
OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (INCLUDING ITS TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS,
ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA) (THE
"UNITED STATES"), AUSTRALIA, CANADA, THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION
OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA OR JAPAN, OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH
THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by Axactor ASA
(the "Company") on 21 May 2026 regarding the approval of the prospectus (the
"Prospectus") and key dates relating to the potential subsequent offering of up
to 46,606,383 new shares (the "Offer Shares") at a subscription price of NOK
4.70 per new share (the "Subsequent Offering").

The subscription period in the Subsequent Offering will commence today, 26 May
2026, at 09:00 CEST, and will, subject to any extension, expire on 8 June 2026
at 16:30 CEST (the "Subscription Period").

The Subsequent Offering is directed towards existing shareholders in the Company
as at 28 April 2026 (as registered with the VPS on 30 April 2026) who (i) were
not allocated shares in the Private Placement that was announced on 28 April
2026, and (ii) 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 action.

Each Eligible Shareholder will receive 0.38319 non-tradeable subscription rights
(the "Subscription Rights") for each Share held by such Eligible Shareholder in
the Company as of the Record Date. The number of Subscription Rights issued to
each Eligible Shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of
Subscription Rights without compensation to the holder. Over-subscription is
allowed, while subscriptions by shareholders without Subscription Rights is not
allowed.

The Subscription Rights are issued on ISIN NO 001 3752840, and eligible
shareholders can check the number of Subscription Rights allocated to their VPS
account later today. 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.

Further information about the Subsequent Offering and the subscription
procedures is included in the Prospectus which, subject to regulatory
restrictions in certain jurisdictions, will be made available on the web pages
of Arctic Securities AS, DNB Carnegie, a part of DNB Bank ASA and Nordea Bank
Abp, filial i Norge (the "Managers"): www.arctic.com/offerings, 
www.dnb.no/emisjoner and www.nordea.com/en/issuances, respectively. Eligible
shareholders can subscribe for Offer Shares online or by submitting a correctly
completed subscription form to one of the Managers in accordance with the terms
and conditions set out in the Prospectus.

Subscribers who are Norwegian residents with a Norwegian personal identification
number are encouraged to subscribe for Offer Shares through the Norwegian VPS'
online subscription system.

Subscriptions must be received by the Managers before the end of the
Subscription Period. Allocation of the Offer Shares is expected to take place on
or around 8 June 2026. Notifications of allocation of Offer Shares and the
corresponding subscription amount to be paid by each subscriber are expected to
be made available by the Managers on or about 9 June 2026. Assuming that
payments from all subscribers are made when due, it is expected that the share
capital increase will be registered in the Norwegian Register of Business
Enterprises on or about 19 June 2026 and that the delivery of the Offer Shares
will take place on or about 22 June 2026.
