(Oslo, Norway - 8 September 2020) Reference is made to the stock exchange
announcement by Nordic Semiconductor ASA ("NOD" or the "Company") earlier today
regarding a contemplated private placement to raise gross proceeds of the NOK
equivalent of approximately USD 125 million by issuing new shares in the Company
(the "New Shares") (the "Offering").

The Company is pleased to announce that the Offering has been successfully
placed, raising approximately NOK 1,144 million in gross proceeds through the
allocation of in total 13,000,000 New Shares in the Company at a price of NOK 88
per New Share. The Offering took place through an accelerated bookbuilding
process managed by Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, ABG Sundal Collier
ASA and DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA, (jointly, the "Managers") as joint
bookrunners after close of market today, on 8 September 2020. The Offering
attracted very strong interest from high-quality institutional investors
globally and the book was multiple times oversubscribed.

Completion of the Offering and the issuance of the New Shares were resolved by
the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") at a Board meeting held earlier
today. The New Shares are issued pursuant to an authorization held by the Board
to increase the share capital, granted by the Company's annual general meeting
on 21 April 2020.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the New Shares in the Offering will be
employed to support the Company’s continued growth trajectory, including working
capital requirements and supply chain enhancements, ramp-up new Tier 1
customers, strengthen the balance sheet, continue investments to expand product
portfolio for existing and future growth opportunities as well as to pursue
potential bolt-on M&A opportunities.

“We are executing on our plan to grow Nordic to a billion USD in revenues and
beyond, and have experienced accelerated customer momentum so far in 2020. This
share issue secures our financial ability to deliver on our aspiration”, says
CEO Svenn-Tore Larsen in Nordic Semiconductor.

The Company's share capital following the Offering will be NOK 1,927,816 divided
into 192,781,600 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.01.

The New Shares will be settled by the Managers through a delivery versus payment
transaction on a regular T+2 basis, enabled through a prefunding arrangement
between the Company and the Managers. The New Shares delivered to the investors
will thus be tradable from the registration of the capital increase with the
Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises, expected on or about 10 September
2020. Notifications of allocation are expected to be sent by the Managers on or
about 9 September 2020.

Completion of the Offering implies a deviation from the equal treatment
obligations under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, the Continuing
obligations of companies admitted to trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange and Oslo
Børs' Circular no. 2/2014. The Board is of the opinion that the Offering is in
compliance with these requirements. By structuring the transaction as a private
placement, the Company was able to raise capital in an efficient manner, with a
lower discount to the current trading price and with significantly lower
completion risks compared to a rights issue. The number of New Shares to be
issued in connection with the contemplated Offering implies a limited dilution
of existing shareholders. On this basis and based on an assessment of the
current equity markets, the Board has considered the Offering to be in the
common interest of the Company and its shareholders. As a consequence of the
private placement structure, the shareholders' preferential rights to subscribe
for the New Shares were deviated from. The Company will not conduct a subsequent
repair offering.

Advokatfirmaet CLP DA is acting as legal advisor to the Company in connection
with the Offering and Advokatfirmaet Thommessen AS is acting as the Norwegian
legal advisor to the Managers.
