NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (INCLUDING ITS TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS, ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA) (THE "UNITED STATES"), AUSTRALIA, CANADA, THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA OR JAPAN, OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.
Oslo, 3 September 2026: Thor Medical ASA ("Thor Medical" or the "Company"), a leading supplier of high-purity isotopes to the radiopharmaceutical industry, has engaged ABG Sundal Collier ASA and Arctic Securities AS (collectively the “Managers”) to advise on and effect a contemplated private placement of new shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) constituting approx. 15% of the current outstanding shares in the Company (the “Private Placement”).
In addition to the Private Placement, the Company will conduct a separate offering directed at retail investors (the “Retail Offering”, and the new shares issued thereunder, the “Retail Shares”, and together with the Private Placement Shares, the “Offer Shares”) to raise gross proceeds of up to the NOK equivalent of EUR 1 million, subject to applicable exemptions from prospectus requirements, to be facilitated through Nordnet Bank AB (“Nordnet”) and made through its facilities.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement and the Retail Offering to support its entry into the US market through the establishment of downstream production capabilities and commercial infrastructure for Pb-212. In addition, the proceeds will be used to expand and diversify feedstock access, as well as for working capital and other corporate purposes.
Scatec Innovation AS, the Company’s largest shareholder and represented on the Company’s board of directors, has pre-committed to subscribe for, and will be allocated, Offer Shares for an amount equal to NOK 25 million at the Offer Price (as defined below).
TIMELINE AND TERMS OF THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT
The bookbuilding period for the Private Placement commences today, on 3 September 2026 at 16:30 hours (CEST) and will end on 4 September 2026 at 08:00 hours (CEST) (the "Bookbuilding Period"). The Company reserves the right, after consultation with the Managers, at any time and in its sole discretion, to close or extend the Bookbuilding Period or to cancel the Private Placement in its entirety for any reason and without notice. If the Bookbuilding Period is shortened or extended, the other dates referred to herein may be changed correspondingly.
The subscription price per Offer Share (the “Offer Price”) will be determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) in consultation with the Managers following the Bookbuilding Period.
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 amount in the Private Placement has been set to the NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000. The Company may, however, at its sole discretion, allocate amounts below the NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000 in the Private Placement to the extent of exemptions from the prospectus requirements in accordance with applicable regulations, including the EU Prospectus Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017) and ancillary regulations, as implemented pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, are available.
The allocation and final number of Offer Shares to be issued will be determined by the Board in consultation with the Managers following the Bookbuilding Period. The Offer Shares (including the Retail Shares) will be issued pursuant to the authorization to issue new shares (the "Board Authorization") granted by the annual general meeting of the Company held on 23 April 2026.
Settlement is expected to take place on or about 8 September 2026. The Private Placement is expected to be settled on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis by delivery of existing and unencumbered shares in the Company that are already listed on Euronext Oslo Børs, pursuant to a share lending agreement (the "Share Lending Agreement") between the Company, the Managers and Scatec Innovation AS (the “Share Lender”). Investors allocated Offer Shares (including Retail Shares) will thus receive tradable shares upon delivery.
The settlement date remains subject to any shortening or extension of the Bookbuilding Period and the satisfaction of the Conditions (as defined below).
The share capital increase pertaining to the Private Placement and the Retail Offering is expected to be registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises on or about 10 September 2026. The new shares to be issued by the Board will be used to settle the Managers' redelivery obligation under the Share Lending Agreement.
The allocation of Offer Shares will be carried out at the Board’s discretion, based on criteria such as (but not limited to) pre-commitments, existing ownership in the Company, price leadership, timelines of the application, relative order size, sector knowledge, investment history, perceived investor quality and investment horizon. There is no guarantee that any applicant will be allocated Offer Shares.
Completion of the Private Placement is subject to (i) all necessary corporate resolutions required to implement the Private Placement, including the Board resolving to proceed with the Private Placement, allocate the Offer Shares and issue the Offer Shares pursuant to the Board Authorization, and (ii) the Share Lending Agreement remaining unmodified and in full force and effect (jointly the "Conditions").
Up until notice of allocation, the Private Placement may be cancelled by the Company, in consultation with the Managers, in its sole discretion for any reason. Neither the Managers nor the Company will be liable for any losses if the Private Placement is cancelled, irrespective of the reason for such cancellation.
RETAIL OFFERING THROUGH NORDNET
To give retail investors the opportunity to participate on the same terms as institutional investors, the Company is conducting the Retail Offering as part of the Private Placement, facilitated through Nordnet. The Retail Offering is open to the public in Norway and allows individual investors to subscribe for new shares at the Offer Price, up to a maximum of the NOK equivalent of EUR 1 million in aggregate, subject to applicable exemptions from prospectus requirements and other applicable filing and registration requirements.
The application period for the Retail Offering commences today, 3 September 2026 at 16:30 (CEST) and will run until 21:00 (CEST) on 3 September 2026 (the "Retail Application Period"). Applications in the Retail Offering can be made through Nordnet's website from commencement of the Retail Application Period and must be submitted before the end of the Retail Application Period. Further information regarding payment and delivery in respect of the Retail Offering is available at: www.nordnet.no/aksjer/ipo-emisjon.
Information regarding the Retail Offering will be available around 16:45 (CEST) on 3 September 2026. The Retail Offering will not be carried out if the Private Placement is not completed. The Private Placement is not conditional on the Retail Offering.
Each applicant in the Retail Offering accepts the following by placing an application through Nordnet's platform: an investment in the Retail Shares is made solely at the applicant's own risk and is based on the applicant's own assessment of the Company and the Retail Shares. An investment in the Retail Shares is only suitable for investors who can afford to lose the investment amount. No prospectus or other document providing a similar level of disclosure has been prepared in connection with the Retail Offering.
Allocation of Retail Shares in the Retail Offering will be determined by the Board at its sole discretion following the expiry of the Retail Application Period. The Retail Offering is limited to a maximum total amount of the NOK equivalent of EUR 1 million. Allocations will be reduced at the Board's discretion should demand exceed this limit.
Up until notice of allocation, the Retail Offering may be cancelled by the Company, in consultation with the Managers, in its sole discretion for any reason. Neither the Managers nor the Company will be liable for any losses if the Retail Offering is cancelled, irrespective of the reason for such cancellation.
EQUAL TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS AND SUBSEQUENT OFFERING
The Private Placement represents a deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive right to subscribe for the Offer Shares. The Board has carefully considered the structure of the equity raise in light of the equal treatment obligations under the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act and the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. The Board is of the view that it will be in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders to raise equity through a private placement, in particular because the Private Placement enables the Company to secure equity financing to accommodate the Company's funding requirements. Further, a private placement will reduce execution and completion risk, as it enables the Company to raise equity efficiently and in a timely manner, with a lower discount to the current trading price, at a lower cost and with a significantly reduced completion risk compared to a rights issue.
On this basis, the Board has considered the proposed transaction structure and the Private Placement to be in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders.
The Company may, subject to completion of the Private Placement and the Retail Offering, consider conducting a subsequent share offering of new shares (the "Subsequent Offering"). If carried out, the size and structure of the Subsequent Offering shall be in line with market practice and taking into account the amount allocated in the Retail Offering. Any Subsequent Offering will be directed towards existing shareholders in the Company as of 3 September 2026 (as registered in the VPS two trading days thereafter), who (i) were not allocated Private Placement Shares and (ii) are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or, would (in jurisdictions other than Norway) require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar action. The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to not conduct or cancel the Subsequent Offering (if proposed). The Company will issue a separate stock exchange announcement with further details on the Subsequent Offering if and when finally resolved.
