9 January 2026: Eqva ASA (OSE: EQVA) continues the sharpening of its market
focus as set out in its shareholder letter of 15 December 2025. The secured
order book (next twelve months) per end of Q4 2025 sits at approx. NOK 1bn. The
company is currently considering several acquisition targets for further growth,
and is progressing due diligence and negotiations for a mechanical industrial
services provider with targeted 2025 revenues and EBITDA margin of estimated 160
MNOK and 9%, respectively.

EQVA expects to continue to finance its acquisitions through a combination of
cash, equity and earn-outs.

To structure the financing of its business strategy the Company has mandated
Arctic Securities and Nordea as Joint Lead Managers to arrange a series of fixed
income investor meetings commencing 12 January 2026.  

A NOK denominated senior secured bond issue may follow, subject to inter alia
market conditions.
