Oslo, 19 November 2024: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by Vow ASA (the "Company") on 27 September 2024, regarding the contemplated fully underwritten rights issue in the Company, raising gross proceeds of NOK 250,000,000 (the "Rights Issue").

The board of directors of the Company has today, in consultation with DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA, Pareto Securities AS and SpareBank 1 Markets AS (acting as "Managers" in the Rights Issue), determined the proposed subscription price for the new shares to be issued in the Rights Issue, and thus the final number of new shares and the exact amount of the share capital increase:

• The subscription price is proposed to be NOK 1.50 per new share, representing a discount of approximately 30% to the theoretical share price exclusive of the subscription rights (TERP) based on the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company's shares on Euronext Oslo Børs during the last three trading days (with today being the last day).
• The share capital of the Company is proposed to be increased by NOK 15,583,333.271 through the issuance of 166,666,666 new shares, representing a ratio of 1.464117 new shares per each existing share.

The proposal to increase the share capital of the Company as set out in the notice of the extraordinary general meeting dated 29 October 2024 will be adjusted to reflect (i) the subscription price, (ii) the number of new shares to be issued, and (iii) the share capital increase pertaining to the Rights Issue as set out above. The proposed authorisation to the board of directors to issue new shares as settlement of the fee payable to the underwriters of the Rights Issue will be decreased from NOK 14,866,399.394 to NOK 926,671.8615. The final subscription price and final number of new shares to be issued in the Rights Issue, as well as the final size of the aforementioned authorisation to the board of directors, will be determined by the extraordinary general meeting.
