Oslo, 13 January 2025. Reference is made to the announcement by Thor Medical ASA (the "Company") on 10 January 2025 regarding the approval of a prospectus and the launch of a subsequent offering (the "Subsequent Offering") of up to 11,000,000 new shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares") at a subscription price of NOK 2.50 per share (the "Subscription Price") with gross proceed of up to NOK 27.5 million.
The Subscription Period (as defined below) for the Subsequent Offering commences today, 13 January 2025 at 09:00 (CET) and expires on 24 January 2025 at 12:30 (CET).
The shareholders of the Company as of the end of trading on 11 December 2024, as registered in the Euronext Securities Oslo ("ESO") on 13 December 2024 (the "Record Date"), who (i) were not included in the pre-sounding phase of the Private Placement, (ii) were not allocated offer shares in the Private Placement, and (iii) are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful, or for jurisdictions other than Norway, would require any filing, registration or similar action (the "Eligible Shareholders") have been granted non-transferable subscription rights (the "Subscription Rights") in the Subsequent Offering that provide rights to subscribe for, and be allocated, Offer Shares at the Subscription Price.
Each Eligible Shareholder have been granted 0.08847 non-transferable Subscription Rights for each existing share registered as held by each such Eligible Shareholder as of the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole subscription right. Each subscription right will give the right to subscribe for, and be allocated, one (1) offer Share at the Subscription Price. Over-subscription will be permitted, however, subscription without Subscription rights will not be permitted. The allocation criteria otherwise adhere to the principles set forth in applicable law, and the complete allocation criteria are detailed in Section 5.19 of the Prospectus (as defined below). Subscription without Subscription Rights is not allowed. 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 grant of Subscription Rights and the subscription of Offer Shares by persons resident in, or who are citizens of countries other than Norway, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction. Further, no Offer Shares or Subscription Rights will be offered or granted within the United States, except in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. See Section 12 in the Prospectus (as defined below) for a further description of transfer restrictions and prohibitions.
The terms and conditions for the Subsequent Offering are set out in a EEA-prospectus prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules in the Securities Trading Act chapter 7 and Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC (the "Prospectus").

The Subsequent Offering may be withdrawn, suspended or delayed, at any time prior to final allocation for any reason at the sole discretion of the Company, in consultation with the Manager.
