THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOESNOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Reference is made to the announcement published on 26 October 2022 by LifecareAS (the "Company") regarding the launch of a contemplated private placement (the"Private Placement").

Lifecare is pleased to announce that it has raised approx. NOK 45 million ingross proceeds through the Private Placement of 18,000,000 new shares in theCompany (the "Offer Shares"), at a price per Offer Share of NOK 2.50 (the "OfferPrice").

The Private Placement took place through an accelerated bookbuilding process on26 October 2022 between 16:30 CEST and 18:30 CEST with Carnegie AS as bookrunnerand manager (the "Manager").

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for: (i)Further research, development and clinical studies of the implantable sensorSencell towards CE mark, (ii) strengthening the Company's balance sheet toensure financial capacity and flexibility to pursue growth opportunities, (iii)preparation and investments related to production set-up, (iv) continue todevelop the organization and internationalize the Company, and (v) workingcapital as well as for general corporate purposes.

The following primary insiders have been allocated shares in the PrivatePlacement: - Hannibal Invest AS, a company wholly owned by the Company's board member HansJohan Hekland, has been allocated 200,000 Offer Shares and will followingcompletion of the Private Placement own 200,000 shares in the Company

The share capital increase pertaining to the Private Placement was resolved bythe Board of Directors of the Company on 26 October 2022 pursuant toauthorizations granted by the extraordinary general meeting held 6 May 2022.Notification of allotment of the Offer Shares, including settlementinstructions, will be sent to the applicants through a notification from theManager on or about 27 October 2022.

In order to facilitate timely delivery of shares to subscribers in the PrivatePlacement, delivery of the new shares allocated in the Private Placement will bemade by delivery of existing and unencumbered shares in the Company alreadylisted on Euronext Growth, pursuant to a share lending agreement entered intobetween the Company, the Manager and Teigland Eiendom AS. The Manager willsettle the share loan with new shares in the Company to be issued shortly afterpayment has been received for the Offer Shares. The Offer Shares will betradable from allocation.

Following issuance of the Offer Shares, the Company will have an issued sharecapital of NOK 47,146,297 divided into 117,865,742 shares, each with a par valueof NOK 0.4.

The Board of Directors has considered the Private Placement in light of theequal treatment obligations under the Norwegian Private Limited LiabilityCompanies Act, the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, the Issuer Rules forEuronext Growth Oslo and Oslo Børs' Circular no. 2/2014, and is of the opinionthat the Private Placement is in compliance with these requirements. The Boardhas considered alternative structures for the raising of new equity. The Boardis of the view that is in the common interest of the Company and itsshareholders to raise equity through a private placement setting aside thepre-emptive rights of the shareholders. By structuring the equity raise as aprivate placement, the Company has been in a position to raise equityefficiently, with a lower discount to the current trading price, at a lower costand with a significantly lower risk compared to a rights issue. In theassessment it has also been taken into consideration that the Private Placementhas been structured as a publicly announced bookbuilding process.

The Company is planning to conduct a subsequent offering (the "SubsequentOffering") of up to 3,000,000 new shares at a price of NOK 2.50 per share, withgross proceeds of up to NOK 7.5 million, directed towards shareholders who heldshares in the Company as of the end of 26 October 2022 (as registered in the VPSas of the end of 28 October 2022), who (i) were not allocated shares in thePrivate Placement, and (ii) are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offerwould be illegal or (in jurisdictions other than Norway), requires the issuanceof a prospectus, registration or other similar action. Whether a SubsequentOffering will take place, will depend inter alia on the development of the priceof the shares in the Company after completion of the Private Placement.
