Oslo, Norway, 18 June 2021: Reference is made to the announcement made by Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA (the "Company") on 15 June 2021 where it was announced that the Company had submitted an application for admission to trading on the main list of the Oslo Stock Exchange ("Oslo Børs") by transfer of its current admission to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo (the "Listing"). The application was approved today, and it is stipulated that the Company prior to the first day of admission to trading satisfies the admission requirements for Oslo Børs. Further information regarding the first day of trading on Oslo Børs will be issued in a separate stock exchange release.
  
Further, reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published on 1 June 2021, with key information about the contemplated subsequent offering of up to 2,000,00 additional new shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.25, at a subscription price of NOK 12.50 per share (the "Subsequent Offering”).
  
Reference is also made to the extraordinary general meeting in the Company held on 17 June 2021, resolving to grant an authorisation to the Company's Board of Directors to carry out the Subsequent Offering and a retail offering following the Company’s admission to trading on Oslo Børs. Pursuant to the authorisation, the Company's Board of Directors has today resolved to increase the share capital by minimum NOK 0.25 and maximum NOK 700,000, by issuance of minimum 1 and maximum 2,800,000 new shares (the "Offer Shares") at a subscription price of NOK 12.50 (the “Subscription Price”) (the “Offering”).
  
Carnegie AS and Pareto Securities AS are acting as managers in the Offering.
  
The Offering consist of:

• The Subsequent Offering in which 2,000,000 Offer Shares are being offered to shareholders of the Company as of 1 June 2021 (as registered in the VPS on 3 June 2021 (the "Record Date")) who were not allocated shares in the private placement resolved by the general meeting on 17 June 2021 and who are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful, or for jurisdictions other than Norway, Sweden, Finland or Denmark would require any filing, registration or similar action (the "Eligible Shareholders"). Eligible Shareholders will be granted 0.04062 non-transferable subscription rights (the "Subscription Rights") for each share held in the Company on the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole Subscription Right. Each Subscription Right gives, subject to applicable law, a right to subscribe for and be allocated one Offer Share. Over-subscription is permitted. Subscription without Subscription Rights is not permitted.
• A retail offering (the "Retail Offering") in which 800,000 Offer Shares are being offered to the public in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark subject to a minimum amount per application of NOK 10,500 and an upper limit per application of NOK 2,499,999. To participate in the Retail Offering, applicants must apply for Offer Shares electronically through Nordnet Bank AB, which is acting as placing agent for the Retail Offering on behalf of the Managers.

The Company has prepared a prospectus in connection with the Listing and the Offering (the "Prospectus"), and the Prospectus has now been approved by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority. The Prospectus is available at www.cloudberry.no, www.carnegie.no and www.paretosec.no. Hard copies of the Prospectus may be obtained free of charge at the Company's registered business address Frøyas gate 15, 0273 Oslo, Norway.
  
The subscription periods for the Subsequent Offering and the Retail Offering commence on 21 June 2021 at 09:00 (CEST). The subscription period for the Retail Offering ends 1 July 2021 at 23:59 (CEST) and the subscription period for the Subsequent Offering ends 2 July 2021 at 12:00 (CEST). The subscription periods may not be shortened, but the board of directors may extend the subscription periods if this is required by law due to the publication of a supplement prospectus. Further details on the application procedures in the Subsequent Offering and the Retail Offering are included in the Prospectus.
 
The Subscription Rights are expected to have an economic value if the Company's shares trade above the Subscription Price during the subscription period. The Subscription Rights must be used to subscribe for Offer Shares before the expiry of the subscription period for the Subsequent Offering on 2 July 2021 at 12:00 hours (CEST). Subscription Rights that are not exercised before 12:00 hours (CEST) on 2 July 2021 will have no value and will lapse without compensation to the holder.
  
Allocation of the Offer Shares is expected to take place on or about 2 July 2021.
 
The payment for the Offer Shares allocated to a subscriber falls due on or about 7 July 2021.
  
Subject to timely payment of the entire subscription amount in the Offering and no extension of the subscription period, the Company expects that the share capital increase pertaining to the Offering will be registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises (Nw. Foretaksregisteret) on or about 13 July 2021 and that the Offer Shares will be delivered to the VPS accounts of the subscribers to whom they are allocated on or about 14 July 2021. Further details regarding delivery of the Offer Shares to the investors applying for shares through Nordnet in the Retail Offering are set out in the Prospectus.
