Oslo, 8 March 2022: Observe Medical ASA (OSE: OBSRV) (the "Company" or Observe
Medical") is excited to announce the completion of the acquisition of Biim
Ultrasound AS ("Biim Ultrasound"), an international medical ultrasound
technology company, adding another innovative product that improves patient
welfare and outcome and that promotes positive health economics to its
portfolio. With this acquisition, Observe Medical also significantly strengthens
and broadens its distribution network into the US.

This combined expansion of product range and distribution capacity are important
steps towards delivering on Observe Medical's ambition and strategy to
commercialize and grow its Nordic-based platform on a global scale.

"We are strengthening the product portfolio and expanding our distribution
network globally. The aim is to further increase the pace of the commercial roll
-out of Sippi®, our automated digital urine meter in both Europe and the US and
launch Biim on the European market through our network, in addition to the
current US roll-out. For each of these two products, we see a potential NOK 500
million emerging market," said Björn Larsson, CEO of Observe Medical.

Expanding in the US

Biim Ultrasound's product, the Biim probe ("Biim"), is a unique and patented,
wireless and pocketable ultrasound probe that can scan patients and review
images in seconds. The device has been designed to enhance healthcare personnel
decision-making and improve patient outcomes.

Having received 510 (k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
in 2018, Biim is currently being rolled out in the US through a partnership
agreement with Fresenius Kidney Care, the leading provider of kidney care
services in the US. As part of the agreement, Biim is intended to be used across
hundreds of Fresenius' dialysis centers in the US. Moving forward, the Company
plans to apply for a CE marking of Biim during 2022 to get access to the
important European market.

This partnership and Biim Ultrasound's US network are expected to further drive
the pace of the global commercial roll-out of Sippi®, Observe Medical's
proprietary automated digital urine meter with biofilm control and wireless
connectivity and to accelerate the current roll-out in Europe and drive an
earlier US market entry. As previously communicated during the third quarter
2021 report, Observe Medical has strengthened the US patent protection for
Sippi® and clarified the regulatory pathway into the US.

Strong support

The acquisition of Biim Ultrasound was settled with a combination of new shares
in Observe Medical and cash provided through a fully underwritten rights issue.
Proceeds from the issue will also be used for commercialization and growth
initiatives for Sippi® and Biim, repayment of current interest-bearing debt and
general corporate purposes.

"We are grateful for the strong support we have seen in this transaction from
current and new investors, who share our ambitions. We have a strong and solid
platform for growth, supported by organic expansion and targeted acquisitions,
which will enable us to commercialize proprietary and innovative medtech
products on a global scale," said Björn Larsson.

"Observe Medical, and the team have come a long way since listing on Euronext
Growth in 2019. Having completed the acquisition of Biim Ultrasound today, we
now have two significant medtech products in our portfolio and a strong global
network of partners. We are confident in the opportunities this deal will
deliver for our stakeholders," Larsson concludes.

Issuance of consideration shares

As partial settlement of the purchase price for the transaction, the board of
directors of Observe Medical has today, on 8 March 2022, resolved to increase
the Company's share capital with NOK 2,124,697.38 by issuance of 8,171,913 new
shares in the Company to the sellers of Biim Ultrasound, each with a nominal
value of NOK 0.26. The consideration shares were issued at a subscription price
of NOK 16.52 per consideration share upon conversion of an account receivable of
NOK 135,000,002.76. The share capital increase was resolved by the board of
directors under the authorization to increase the company's share capital
granted by the extraordinary general meeting held on 4 February 2022. To
complete Observe Medical's obligations pursuant to the share purchase agreement
for the acquisition of Biim Ultrasound, the preferential right of the existing
shareholders was deviated from.

Following the issuance of the consideration shares by registration of the share
capital increase with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises (Nw.
Foretaksregisteret), the share capital of Observe Medical will be NOK
13,907,830.56, divided into 53,491,656 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK
0.26.
