The Subsequent Offering consists of an offering of up to 1,666,667 new shares in

Company as of 23 July 2023 (as registered in the VPS on 25 July 2023) (the "
Record Date"), except; (i) shareholders that subscribed for shares in the
Private Placement, and (ii) shareholders who are resident in a jurisdiction
where such offering would be unlawful, or would require any prospectus filing,
registration or similar action (the "Eligible Shareholders").
In addition, the following types of investors shall have a secondary right to
subscribe for the Offer Shares; (i) ABTEC shareholders and lenders that
participated in the Private Placement, (ii) shareholders of Skinteam Norge AS,
and (iii) other subscribers without Subscription Rights (as defined below),
subject to a minimum allocation of at least NOK 5,000 (jointly, the "Secondary
Subscribers").
The subscription period in the Subsequent Offering commences today, on 8 August
2023 at 09:00 hours (CEST) and will end on 18 August 2023 at 16:30 hours (CEST)
(the "Subscription Period"). The subscription price per Offer Share is NOK 3.00
(the "Subscription Price"), which is equal to the subscription price in the
Private Placement. If fully subscribed, the Subsequent Offering will raise gross
proceeds of NOK 5,000,001.
In the Subsequent Offering, Eligible Shareholders, will be granted
non-transferable subscription rights (the "Subscription Rights") that, subject
to applicable law, provide preferential rights to subscribe for and be allocated
Offer Shares at the Subscription Price.
The Eligible Shareholders will be granted 0.1547 Subscription Rights for each
existing share registered as held by such Eligible Shareholder as of the Record
Date, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Subscription Rights. Secondary
Subscribers will not be granted Subscription Rights. Each whole Subscription
Right provides a preferential right to subscribe for, and be allocated, one
Offer Share at the Subscription Price. Over-subscription will be permitted.
Other than subscriptions from Secondary Subscribers, subscription without
Subscription Rights will not be permitted.
The Subscription Rights must be used to subscribe for Offer Shares before the
expiry of the Subscription Period on 18 August 2023 at 16.30 hours (CEST).
Subscription Rights that are not used to subscribe for Offer Shares before 16.30
hours (CEST) on 18 August 2023 will have no value and will lapse without
compensation to the holder.

required to implement the Subsequent Offering.
