information required to be disclosed under the laws of a member state
Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement made by Vend Marketplaces
ASA ("Vend") on 26 September 2025, and the notice of the extraordinary general
meeting in Vend Marketplaces ASA on 22 October 2025, published on 29 September
2025.
If the proposed combination of Vend's share classes is approved by the
extraordinary general meeting on 22 October 2025, Vend will carry out an
offering of new shares to the holders of A-shares as compensation for the loss
of premium resulting from the combination of the share classes. The share
offering will be carried out at nominal value NOK 0.50 per share. The share
offering will be carried out without the publication of a prospectus based on
applicable exemptions under the prospectus rules. Vend had intended to list the
subscription rights in the share offering on Euronext Oslo Børs in the period
from 30 October to 6 November 2025. However, Vend has been informed that the
Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority ("NFSA") considers that the listing of
the subscription rights on the Oslo Stock Exchange would require the publication
of a listing prospectus. Based on the feedback from the NFSA, the costs involved
in the preparation of a listing prospectus, the limited size of the share
offering and the cash compensation mechanism described below, the company has
resolved to proceed with the offering without listing the subscription rights on
the Euronext Oslo Børs.
Other than this, no changes will be made to the process described in the notice
of the extraordinary general meeting published on 29 September. No changes will
be proposed in the draft resolutions to be considered at the extraordinary
general meeting.
As previously communicated, the Company intends to arrange for Danske Bank A/S
NUF ("Danske Bank") to facilitate the sale of shares that would otherwise have
been allocated to Ineligible Holders or holders who have not subscribed for
shares during the subscription period. Under this arrangement, Danske Bank will
subscribe for the shares not subscribed for in the share offering and sell those
shares in the market. The net proceeds of such sale will be distributed to
Ineligible Holders or any other holders of subscription rights who have not
exercised their rights during the subscription period. No payments will,
however, be made for amounts below NOK 50.
