NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, THE UNITED KINGDOM, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, HONG KONG, JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Arendal, Norway, 4 June 2026: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by Norse Atlantic ASA (the "Company") on 14 April 2026 regarding the proposed fully underwritten rights issue of 2,039,664,000 new shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares"), each with a nominal value of NOK 0.50, at a subscription price of NOK 0.50 per Offer Share (the "Subscription Price"), raising gross proceeds of NOK 1,019,832,000 (the NOK equivalent of approximately USD 110 million) (the "Rights Issue"), and to the stock exchange announcements published by the Company on 2 June 2026 regarding the completion of the extraordinary general meeting held on 2 June 2026 (the "EGM") and announcement of updated key information relating to the Rights Issue.

The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (Nw.: Finanstilsynet) has today, 4 June 2026, approved a prospectus prepared by the Company (the "Prospectus") in connection with the Rights Issue and the listing of the Offer Shares, and as defined by the Prospectus,  the listing of the Underwriting Commission Shares, Bond Conversion Shares and CEO Private Placement Shares on Expand Oslo. Terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus. Subject to local applicable securities laws, the Prospectus, including the subscription form for the Rights Issue, will be made available at the websites of the managers for the Rights Issue, Arctic Securities AS at www.arctic.com/offerings, Pareto Securities AS at www.paretosec.com/transactions and SB1 Markets AS at www.sb1markets.com/transactions/ (the "Managers"), prior to the commencement of the subscription period in the Rights Issue.

Subscription Period:

The subscription period for the Rights Issue will commence on 5 June 2026 at 09:00 hours (CEST) and expire on 19 June 2026 at 16:30 hours (CEST) (the "Subscription Period"). The Subscription Rights in the Rights Issue will be tradable on Euronext Expand Oslo under the ticker code "NORST" from 5 June 2026 at 09:00 hours (CEST) until 15 June 2026 at 16:30 hours (CEST) (the "Trading Period"). Accordingly, the Trading Period will end earlier than the Subscription Period.

Use of Proceeds:

The net proceeds from the Rights Issue will be applied as follows: (i) repayment of the Bridge Loan Facility to the extent not set off against subscription amounts payable by the Bridge Lenders for new shares allocated to them in the Rights Issue; and (ii) the remainder for general corporate purposes, including funding of ongoing operations and working capital. With respect to the use of proceeds to discharge, reduce or retire indebtedness: on 16 April 2026, the Company fully repaid the existing revolving credit facility (overdraft facility) of USD 20 million using proceeds drawn under the Bridge Loan Facility. In addition, USD 25 million in dues to lessors and suppliers, including overdue and accrued lease payments and outstanding amounts owed to key operational suppliers, have been repaid using proceeds drawn under the Bridge Loan Facility.  Accordingly, no portion of the net proceeds from the Rights Issue will be applied towards repayment of the overdraft facility, as these obligations have already been discharged using proceeds drawn under the Bridge Loan Facility.

Subscription Rights:

The shareholders of the Company as of the end of 2 June 2026 being registered as such in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository, Euronext Securities Oslo (the "VPS") on 4 June 2026 pursuant to the two days' settlement procedure of the VPS (the "Record Date", and such shareholders, the "Existing Shareholders")), have been granted tradable Subscription Rights in the Rights Issue that provide preferential rights to subscribe for, and be allocated, Offer Shares at the Subscription Price.

Each Existing Shareholder has been granted 12.545397 Subscription Rights for each existing share in the Company registered as held by such Existing Shareholder as of the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole Subscription Right. Each Subscription Right will, subject to applicable law, give the right to subscribe for, and be allocated, one (1) Offer Share in the Rights Issue. Over-subscription with Subscription Rights is permitted. Subscription without Subscription Rights is not permitted (other than by the Underwriters).

The Subscription Rights will be tradable on Euronext Expand Oslo under the ticker code "NORST" from 5 June 2026 at 09:00 hours (CEST) until 15 June 2026 at 16:30 hours (CEST). The Subscription Rights will hence only be tradable during a part of the Subscription Period.

Subscription Rights, including acquired Subscription Rights, that are not exercised before 16:30 hours (CEST) on 19 June 2026 will have no value and will lapse without compensation to the holder. If there is no intention to exercise the Subscription Rights, the Subscription Rights should be sold before the end of the Trading Period for the Subscription Rights (16:30 hours CEST on 15 June 2026).

Being granted or purchasing Subscription Rights does not in itself constitute a subscription for Offer Shares. Subscription must be done in accordance with the procedure set out in this announcement and further detailed in the Prospectus.

Subscription Price:

NOK 0.50 per Offer Share. No expenses or taxes are charged to the subscribers in the Rights Issue by the Company or the Managers.

Subscription Procedure:

Subscriptions for Offer Shares by Existing Shareholders holding a VPS account must be made (i) by submitting a correctly completed subscription form, attached to the Prospectus as Appendix B (the "Subscription Form") to one of the Managers during the Subscription Period, or may, (ii) for subscribers who are residents of Norway with a national identity number, be made online through the VPS online subscription system. Subscriptions by Existing Shareholders who do not have a VPS account, but instead hold shares (and Subscription Rights) through a financial intermediary (i.e. broker, custodian, nominee, etc.) can be made by contacting their respective financial intermediary as further described in Section 5.11 "Financial intermediaries" in the Prospectus.

Correctly completed Subscription Forms must be received by one of the Managers at the address or e-mail address set out in the Prospectus, or in the case of online subscriptions through the VPS online subscription system be registered, no later than by the end of the Subscription Period. 16:30 hours (CEST) on 19 June 2026.

Subscribers who are residents of Norway with a Norwegian national identity number are encouraged to subscribe for Offer Shares through the VPS online subscription system (or by visiting the Managers' respective websites: www.arctic.com/offerings, www.paretosec.com/transactions or www.sb1markets.com/transactions/, which will include a link to the VPS online subscription system).

Selling and Transfer Restrictions:

The grant or purchase of Subscription Rights and the subscription of Offer Shares by persons resident in, or who are citizens of, countries other than Norway, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction. Further, no Offer Shares or Subscription Rights will be offered or sold within the United States, except in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.

Subscription Rights credited to Ineligible Shareholders (including shareholders resident in jurisdictions where the Prospectus may not be distributed and/or shareholders in the United States who are not qualified institutional buyers) do not constitute an offer to such shareholders. The Company will instruct the Managers to, as far as possible, withdraw such Subscription Rights and sell them during the period from and including 09:00 hours (CEST) on 11 June 2026 to 16:30 hours (CEST) on 15 June 2026 for the account and risk of such Ineligible Shareholders.

For a further description of such restrictions, reference is made to Section 15 "Selling and Transfer Restrictions" in the Prospectus.

The Underwriting:

The Company and the Underwriters have entered into a Subscription and Underwriting Agreement dated 14 April 2026, pursuant to which certain existing shareholders and new investors have pre-committed and underwritten the full amount of the Rights Issue of the NOK equivalent of approximately USD 110 million. The Rights Issue is therefore fully subscribed. Each Underwriter will upon completion of the Rights Issue receive a commitment commission equal to 10% of its underwriting commitment amount, to be settled by way of issuance of up to 203,966,400 new shares in aggregate (the "Underwriting Commission Shares") at the Subscription Price.

The underwriting was allocated as follows:

· B T Larsen & Co Limited ("BTLCo"), the Company's largest shareholder, has pre-committed and underwritten USD 30,000,000 in the Rights Issue. BTLCo's commitment to subscribe for new shares shall be reduced to the extent necessary to ensure that BTLCo's ownership in the Company (taking into account shares allocated to BTLCo both in connection with the Rights Issue and the Bond Conversion Offer) does not exceed 1/3 of the votes in the Company. · Songa Capital AS (together with affiliated companies) has pre-committed and underwritten USD 15,000,000 in the Rights Issue. · Geveran Trading & Co Limited has pre-committed and underwritten USD 25,000,000 in the Rights Issue. · Athinais Maritime Corp. has pre-committed and underwritten USD 15,000,000 in the Rights Issue. · Felix Fürst, board member, has pre-committed and underwritten USD 1,904,941 in the Rights Issue in his personal capacity. · Anders Hall Jomaas, the Chief Financial Officer, has pre-committed and underwritten USD 210,559 in the Rights Issue in his personal capacity.

Other Underwriters have pre-committed and underwritten the remaining amounts. The full list of Underwriters and their respective pre-committed and underwriting commitment amounts is set out in Section 5.22 of the Prospectus.

Allocation of Offer Shares:

Allocation of the Offer Shares will take place on or about 19 June 2026 in accordance with the following criteria as set out in the Prospectus:

a) First, allocation shall be made in accordance with the granted and acquired Subscription Rights which have been validly exercised to subscribe for Offer Shares during the Subscription Period. Each Subscription Right gives the holder the right to subscribe for and be allocated one (1) Offer Share in the Rights Issue.

b) Second, remaining Offer Shares shall be allocated to Underwriters who have subscribed for Offer Shares, limited upwards to their respective underwriting commitments, on a pro rata basis based on such Underwriter's respective underwriting commitments.

c) Third, remaining Offer Shares shall be allocated to subscribers who have exercised their Subscription Rights and who have over-subscribed, on a pro rata basis based on the number of Subscription Rights exercised by each subscriber.

d) Fourth, remaining Offer Shares shall be allocated to Underwriters who have subscribed for Offer Shares in excess of their respective underwriting commitments, on a pro rata basis based on such Underwriters' over-subscription.

e) Fifth, any remaining Offer Shares not allocated pursuant to the criteria above shall be allocated to the Underwriters on a pro rata basis, adjusted for any allocations to the respective Underwriter pursuant to the criteria above.

As the Rights Issue is fully subscribed by the Underwriters pursuant to the Subscription and Underwriting Agreement, in practice only the first and second allocation criteria above will be relevant. Other than subscriptions from the Underwriters, subscriptions for Offer Shares without Subscription Rights shall not be permitted.

Allocation, Payment, Listing and Commencement of Trading in the Offer Shares:

Notification of allocation is expected to be distributed on or about 22 June 2026. The payment date for investors allocated Offer Shares in the Rights Issue is expected to be on or about 23 June 2026 (the "Payment Date").

Subject to timely payment in the Rights Issue, the Company expects that the share capital increase pertaining to the Rights Issue will be registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises on or about 29 June 2026 and that the Offer Shares will be delivered to the VPS accounts of the subscribers to whom they are allocated on or about 30 June 2026. The Underwriting Commission Shares are expected to be delivered to the relevant VPS accounts on or about 1 July 2026.

The Offer Shares are expected to be tradable on Euronext Expand Oslo from and including 30 June 2026. The Underwriting Commission Shares are expected to be tradable on Euronext Expand Oslo from and including 1 July 2026.

Financial Intermediaries:

If an Existing Shareholder holds shares in the Company registered through a financial intermediary on the Record Date, the financial intermediary will customarily give the Existing Shareholder details of the aggregate number of Subscription Rights to which it will be entitled. The relevant financial intermediary will customarily supply each Existing Shareholder with this information in accordance with its usual customer relations procedures. Existing Shareholders holding their shares in the Company through a financial intermediary should contact the financial intermediary if they have received no information with respect to the Rights Issue.

Subject to applicable law, Existing Shareholders holding shares through a financial intermediary may instruct the financial intermediary to sell some or all of their Subscription Rights, or to purchase additional Subscription Rights on their behalf. See Section 15 "Selling and Transfer Restrictions" in the Prospectus for a description of certain restrictions and prohibitions applicable to the sale and purchase of Subscription Rights in certain jurisdictions outside Norway.

Bond Conversion Offer:

Subject to completion of the Rights Issue and as resolved and catered for by the EGM, the Company will offer bondholders the opportunity to convert their outstanding bonds under the "Norse Atlantic ASA USD 30,000,000 8.5 per cent. senior unsecured convertible bonds 2025/2027" (the "Bonds") into new shares in the Company at a conversion price corresponding to the Subscription Price of NOK 0.50 per share (the "Bond Conversion Offer"). The maximum number of new shares to be issued pursuant to the Bond Conversion Offer is 574,814,400 (the "Bond Conversion Shares"). As of the date of this announcement, the Company has received binding commitments from bondholders representing 58.2% of the outstanding Bonds to accept the Bond Conversion Offer. The Bond Conversion Offer is expected to be made in connection with the commencement of the Subscription Period. The Bond Conversion Shares are expected to be delivered to the relevant VPS accounts and tradable on Euronext Expand Oslo or about 1 July 2026.

CEO Private Placement

In addition, subject to completion of the Rights Issue, the Company intends to carry out a private placement of up to 6,000,000 new shares directed at the Company's CEO, Eivind Roald, or a company controlled by him, at a subscription price of NOK 0.50 per share (the "CEO Private Placement").
