Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Q Tech undertakes that it will not, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, lend or transfer any Private Placement Shares for a 24-month period following the completion of the Private Placement, i.e. from 4 June 2025.  

The Subsequent Offering:

The Subsequent Offering consists of an offer by the Company to issue up to 19,122,933 Offer Shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.04, at a subscription price of NOK 2.69 per Offer Share (the "Offer Price"), being equal to the subscription price in the Private Placement.

Each Eligible Shareholder will be granted 0.147556 non-transferable subscription right for every existing share registered as held by such Eligible Shareholder as of the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole subscription right (the "Subscription Rights"). Each Subscription Right will, subject to applicable law, give the right to subscribe for, and be allocated, one (1) Offer Share in the Subsequent Offering at the Offer Price. Over-subscription by Eligible Shareholders will be permitted, however, there can be no assurance that Offer Shares will be allocated for such subscriptions. Subscription without Subscription Rights will not be permitted.

The Subscription Rights must be used to subscribe for Offer Shares prior to expiry of the Subscription Period on 27 June 2025 at 16:30 hours (CEST). 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.

The Subscription Form and further instructions regarding the subscription procedure will be available in the Prospectus.

Notifications of allocated Offer Shares and the subscription amount to be paid by each subscriber are expected to be made available for the subscribers on or about 30 June 2025.
