Oslo, Norway, 8 July 2025聽

Business Update:

Ensurge Micropower ASA ("Ensurge" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following business update:

As previously communicated, Ensurge aims to demonstrate and deliver 28-layer sample batteries to evaluation customers during the summer of 2025. The focus is on building 11-layer and 28-layer and commence production of 43-layer batteries soon after the 28-layers are at an acceptable standard and battery cell yield is at the required level. The sample batteries are expected to be shipped to customers and strategic partners in Q3-2025. Product qualification and certification will start shortly after the first demonstration and shipment and is expected to take four months to complete.

Further to previous disclosures regarding Ensurge鈥檚 joint development efforts with a Fortune 500 company, the Company is pleased to announce that it has made very good progress on the technology cooperation with this company, which cooperation is expected to result in a multi-year cooperation agreement and, potentially, financial contribution or investment by the Fortune 500 company in Ensurge. Ensurge has engaged a US investment bank, Canaccord Genuity LLC, to support the Company in reaching mutually beneficial definitive agreements.

The current pipeline of Ensurge consists of 130+ commercial leads. The Company has signed one more evaluation agreement with a medical device company and sees meaningful engagement with some leading customers that is expected to result in paid development work.

Contemplated Fully Underwritten Private Placement:

Ensurge has engaged Arctic Securities AS and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) (the "Managers") to advise on and effect a contemplated聽private placement in the Company of 40 million new shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares") raising gross proceeds of NOK 50 million (the "Private Placement").聽The subscription price per Offer Share (the "Offer Price") is NOK 1.25 per Offer Share.

Certain existing shareholders, including Svelland Global Trading Master Fund, have subject to customary conditions, committed to underwrite the Private Placement pursuant to underwriting agreements entered into with the Company (the "Underwriters"). A total underwriting fee equal to 3% of the underwriting commitment will be payable by the Company to the Underwriters in the form of 1,200,000 new shares in the Company at the Offer Price (the 鈥淯nderwriting Shares鈥�).

In addition, the board of directors of the Company (the 鈥淏oard鈥�) will propose that all investors in the Private Placement are granted one (1) warrant (Nw.:聽frittst氓ende tegningsrett) for every two (2) Offer Shares allocated to them in the Private Placement (the 鈥淲arrants鈥�). The Warrant is transferable but will not be admitted to trading on Oslo B酶rs. Each Warrant will be free of charge and give the right to subscribe for one new share in the Company at an exercise price of NOK 1.50 per share. The Warrants may be exercised from 1 December 2025 at 09:00 (CET) to 12 December 2025 at 16:30 (CET) (the 鈥淓xercise Period鈥�). Following expiry of the Exercise Period, all Warrants not exercised will lapse without compensation. Completion of the Private Placement through delivery of the Offer Shares is not conditional upon the Warrants being issued and subscription for the Offer Shares will remain final and binding and cannot be revoked, cancelled or terminated by applicants if the Warrants are not issued. Issuance of the Warrants are subject to approval by the Company鈥檚 general meeting, where an extraordinary general meeting is expected to be held on or about 1 August 2025 (the 鈥滶GM鈥�).

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to (i) accelerate development of higher-capacity battery variants (first 28-layer and then targeted 43-layer), (ii) step up sales and marketing activities, (iii) strengthen the Company's financial flexibility and (iv) for general corporate purposes. While the Company anticipates that agreements with partners (strategic and customers) will contribute towards coverage of the Company's cash expenses, there is a risk in terms of timing of such agreements.聽

The application period for the Private Placement will commence today, 8 July 2025 at 09:00 CEST and is expected to close no later than聽8 July 2025 at 16:30 CEST (the "Application Period"). The Company, in consultation with the Managers, reserves the right to at any time and in its sole discretion resolve to close or extend the Application Period or to cancel the Private Placement in its entirety without further notice. If the Application Period is shortened or extended, any other dates referred to herein may be amended accordingly.

The final number of Offer Shares will be determined at the end of the Application Period, and the final allocation will be made at the sole discretion of the Board after consulting with the Managers. The allocation will be based on criteria such as (but not limited to)聽timeliness of the application, relative order size, sector knowledge, investment history, perceived investor quality and investment horizon. The Board may, at its sole discretion, reject and/or reduce any applications. There is no guarantee that any applicant will be allocated Offer Shares. Notification of allotment and payment instructions is expected to be issued to the applicants on or about聽9 July 2025聽through a notification to be issued by the Managers.

The Private Placement will be settled with existing and unencumbered shares in the Company that are already listed on Oslo B酶rs, pursuant to a share lending agreement entered into between the Company, the Managers and certain existing shareholders (the "Share Lending Agreement"). The Share Lending Agreement will be settled with new shares in the Company to be resolved issued by the Board pursuant to an authorization by the Company's annual general meeting held on 15 May 2025 (the "Authorization"). Settlement of the Private Placement is expected to take place on a delivery versus payment basis on or about 11 July 2025.

Completion of the Private Placement is subject to (i) all necessary corporate resolutions of the Company required to implement the Private Placement being validly made, including the Board resolving to allocate and issue of the Offer Shares and Underwriting Shares by use of the Authorization, (ii) the share capital increase pertaining to the issuance of the allocated Offer Shares and Underwriting Shares being validly registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and the allocated Offer Shares and Underwriting Shares being validly issued and registered in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository Euronext Securities Oslo ("VPS"), (iii) the underwriting agreements remaining in full force and effect and the (iv) the Share Lending Agreement remaining in full force and effect.

The Private Placement will be directed towards Norwegian and international investors, subject to applicable exemptions from relevant registration, filing and prospectus requirements, and subject to other applicable selling restrictions. The minimum application and allocation amount has been set to the NOK equivalent of EUR聽100,000. The Company may however, at its sole discretion, allocate amounts below EUR 100,000 to the extent exemptions from the prospectus requirements in accordance with applicable regulations, including the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and ancillary regulations, are available.聽

The Board has considered the contemplated Private Placement in light of the equal treatment obligations under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Oslo B酶rs' Circular no. 2/2014 and deems that the proposed Private Placement would be in compliance with these requirements. The Board holds the view that it will be in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders to raise equity through a private placement, in view of the current market conditions and the growth opportunities currently available to the Company. A private placement enables the Company to raise capital in an efficient manner, and the Private Placement is structured to ensure that a market-based subscription price is achieved. In order to limit the dilutive effect of the Private Placement and to facilitate equal treatment, the Board will consider carrying out a subsequent offering directed towards shareholders who did not participate in the Private Placement (see details below).聽

The Subsequent Offering聽
Subject to among other things (i) completion of the Private Placement, (ii) relevant corporate resolutions including approval by the Board and an extraordinary general meeting, (iii)聽the prevailing market price of Ensurge's shares being higher than the Offer Price, and (iv)聽approval of a prospectus聽by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority, Ensurge will consider whether to carry out a subsequent offering (the "Subsequent Offering") of new shares and warrants in the Company. A Subsequent Offering will, if made, be directed towards existing shareholders in the Company as of 8 July 2025, as registered in Ensurge's register of shareholders with Euronext Securities Oslo, the central securities depositary in Norway (Nw. Verdipapirsentralen) (the "VPS") two trading days thereafter, who (i) are not allocated Offer Shares in the Private Placement, and (ii) are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or would (other than Norway) require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar action (the "Eligible Shareholders"). The Eligible Shareholders are expected to be granted non-tradable allocation rights. If carried out, the subscription period in a Subsequent Offering is expected to commence shortly after registration of the Prospectus (if relevant), and the subscription price in the Subsequent Offering will be the same as the Offer Price in the Private Placement. Ensurge will issue a separate stock exchange notice with further details on the Subsequent Offering if and when finally resolved.
