Invitation to webcast update. Nordic Unmanned is a leading European provider of
unmanned aerial system ("UAS") flight services, system integration and drone OEM
systems, targeting the collection of actionable data for security, maritime
surveillance, and defense applications

The company is pleased to inform that the company has now completed its
announced strategic review through a refinancing with its lenders in combination
with a Private Placement of MNOK 70 in new equity, resulting in a sustainable
financial solution for the company, visibility and flexibility. The agreement
with the lenders includes a 5 year term for the bank debt, amortization holiday
till mid-September 2025, interest accumulation till June 2024 and a margin
reduction from 5% to 3.5%. 

Nordic Unmanned has been through a very challenging period with regards to
liquidity and lower operating margins than expected. Following the refinancing
and recapitalization, the company is well placed to move forward with its
focused strategy, continued improvement efforts, competent organization,
multi-year contract portfolio, well positioned niche technologies and quality
clients and partners.

Through the equity raise, the company welcomes Tjelta Eiendom AS as a new
investor and majority owner.

Stig H. Christiansen, CEO of Nordic Unmanned, remarked: "We are very pleased
with the financial solution which would not have been possible without all the
great people, advisors and capital stakeholders involved. It is an all-hands
job. We look forward to take the company forward in a controlled and profitable
manner in an industry that clearly forms part of a sustainable future."

 In connection with the commencement of the repair issue, Nordic Unmanned
invites to a company update webcast with Q&A on the 31st October at 10am.
