INVITASJON TIL DELTAKELSE I REPARASJONSEMISJON I BARENTS BLUE AS
3. mars, 2026
SANDNES, 3. mars 2026. Styret i Barents Blue AS viser til emisjonen som ble gjennomført i perioden 17. desember 2025 til 4. januar 2026. Emisjonen ble gjennomført for å styrke selskapets kapitalgrunnlag og sikre videre utvikling av Barents Clean Ammonia-prosjektet i Hammerfest. Totalt ble det tegnet 239 249 nye aksjer i emisjonen til en tegningskurs på 3,3593 kroner per aksje, tilsvarende et samlet tegningsbeløp på 803 709 kroner. Selskapets aksjekapital økes dermed med 11 962,45 kroner (239 249 aksjer à pålydende 0,05 kroner), mens det overskytende beløpet føres til overkursfondet i samsvar med aksjeloven.
​
Første emisjonsrunde ble gjennomført som en åpen emisjon, tilgjengelig både for eksisterende aksjonærer og eksterne investorer. Emisjonsinformasjonen ble distribuert til eksisterende aksjonærer der vi hadde epostadresse samt gjort tilgjengelig på selskapets hjemmesider, men ikke sendt direkte til alle aksjonærer. For å sikre at alle eksisterende aksjonærer får samme mulighet til å delta på tilsvarende vilkår, har styret besluttet å gjennomføre en reparasjonsemisjon.
Reparasjonsemisjonen gjennomføres for å:
• gi alle eksisterende aksjonærer en reell mulighet til å tegne aksjer på samme vilkår som i første emisjonsrunde
• sikre likebehandling og transparens i tråd med god eierstyring
• styrke selskapets kortsiktige driftskapital i denne viktige fasen i utviklingen av Barents Clean Ammonia-prosjektet, da selskapet trenger tilførsel av ny kapital for å gjennomføre nødvendige aktiviteter i arbeidet med finansieringen av FEED.
Reparasjonsemisjonen vil bli gjennomført på samme vilkår som første emisjonsrunde.
Vilkår for reparasjonsemisjonen
Totalt emisjonsbeløp: Maksimum Kr. 9 196 291,-
Minstetegning: Kr. 25 000,- tilsvarende 7 442 aksjer
Tegningskurs: Kr. 3,3593 per aksje

SANDNES, 3 March 2026. The Board of Directors of Barents Blue AS refers to the share issue carried out in the period from 17 December 2025 to 4 January 2026. The share issue was conducted to strengthen the company’s capital base and secure further development of the Barents Clean Ammonia project in Hammerfest. A total of 239,249 new shares were subscribed in the issue at a subscription price of NOK 3.3593 per share, corresponding to a total subscription amount of NOK 803,709. The company’s share capital will therefore increase by NOK 11,962.45 (239,249 shares with a nominal value of NOK 0.05), while the excess amount will be allocated to the share premium reserve in accordance with the Norwegian Private Limited
Liability Companies Act.
The first share issue was conducted as an open issue, available to both existing shareholders and external investors. Information about the issue was distributed to existing shareholders for whom we had email addresses and made available on the company’s website, but it was not sent directly to all shareholders. To ensure that all existing shareholders are given the same opportunity to participate on equivalent terms, the Board has resolved to carry out a repair share issue.
The purpose of the repair share issue is to:
• provide all existing shareholders with a genuine opportunity to subscribe for shares on the same terms as in the first issue
• ensure equal treatment and transparency in line with good corporate governance
• strengthen the company’s short-term working capital in this important phase of the Barents Clean Ammonia project, as the company requires additional capital to carry out necessary activities related to the financing of FEED.
The repair share issue will be carried out on the same terms as the first issue.
Terms of the Repair Share Issue
Total issue amount: Maximum NOK 9,196,291
Minimum subscription: NOK 25,000, corresponding to 7,442 shares
Subscription price: NOK 3.3593 per share
Subscription period: 3 March 2026 to 17 March 2026 (23:59 CET)
Payment deadline: 25 March 2026 (16:00 CET)
Payment information for shareholders subscribing in the repair issue will be sent immediately after the subscription period has ended and the subscriptions have been reviewed.
The repair issue will be open only to shareholders registered in the company’s shareholder register as of 16 December 2025, and who did not subscribe for shares in the first issue.
All subscribers must hold a VPS account or a nominee account in a foreign bank in order to receive allocated shares.
If the issue is oversubscribed, allocation of shares will be made on a pro rata basis, calculated based on each investor’s subscription amount.
Subscription of shares shall be made by completing and signing the attached subscription form, which must be submitted to the company by email before the end of the subscription period: ks@barentsblue.com.
Additional Information
An updated project presentation will be made available on the company’s website www.barentsblue.no/news and all shareholders are encouraged to familiarise themselves with its contents.
Subscription amounts shall be paid into an issue account at Sparebank 1 Sør-Norge and will be verified and confirmed by an independent third party in accordance with the requirements of the Norwegian Private Limited
Liability Companies Act, including verification that the capital has been fully paid and is available to the company before the capital increase is registered in the Register of Business Enterprises. Sparebank 1 Sør-Norge, which is Barents Blue AS’s VPS account operator, will register the new shares on the subscribers’ VPS accounts as soon as practically possible after the capital increase has been registered in the Register of Business Enterprises.
We ask that you review the attached documents and follow the specified procedures should you wish to participate in the share issue.
OPPDATERING VEDRØRENDE OPPTAK FOR HANDEL PÅ EURONEXT NOTC FAMILY & FRIENDS
3. mars, 2026
I første emisjonsrunde informerte selskapet om en planlagt prosess for opptak av aksjene i Barents Blue AS for handel på Euronext NOTC Family & Friends i slutten av februar 2026. Etter nærmere vurderinger har styret besluttet å utsette dette til et senere tidspunkt. I første omgang innebærer dette at saken vil tas opp igjen i etterkant av gjennomføringen av reparasjonsemisjonen. Styret vil da foreta en vurdering av tidspunktet for gjennomføringen av en slik prosess. Videre må styret også ta i betraktning pågående prosesser knyttet til finansiering av FEED, og på nåværende tidspunkt er det mye som taler for at finansiering av FEED bør være på plass før en notering på Euronext NOTC Family & Friends gjennomføres. Selskapets ambisjon er uansett det samme, dvs å søke opptak for handel slik at selskapets aksjonærer skal ha en plattform for omsetning av aksjene. Selskapet vil holde aksjonærene oppdatert om dette på selskapets hjemmesider.
​
Barents Blue AS går nå inn i en viktig fase i utviklingen av Barents Clean Ammonia, et prosjekt med ambisjon om å etablere et ledende europeisk anlegg for lavkarbon ammoniakkproduksjon.
UPDATE REGARDING LISTING ON EURONEXT NOTC FAMILY & FRIENDS
3 March, 2026
In the first share issue, the company informed shareholders of a planned process to list the shares of Barents Blue AS for trading on Euronext NOTC Family & Friends at the end of February 2026. Following further assessment, the Board has decided to postpone this to a later date. Initially, this means that the matter will be revisited after completion of the repair share issue. The Board will then assess the appropriate timing for such a process. Furthermore, the Board must also take into account ongoing processes related to the financing of FEED, and at this stage there are strong indications that FEED financing should be secured before a listing on Euronext NOTC Family & Friends is carried out. The company’s ambition remains unchanged: to seek admission to trading so that shareholders have a platform for share transactions. The company will keep shareholders updated on its website.
Barents Blue AS is now entering an important phase in the development of Barents Clean Ammonia, a project with the ambition of establishing a leading European facility for low-carbon ammonia production.
