THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Reference is made to the stock exchange notice on 2 August 2019 by Data Respons ASA ( the “Company”) regarding the approval of the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) in connection with the subsequent repair offering (the “Subsequent Offering”) of up to 1,800,000 shares (the “Offer Shares”). The offer price in the Subsequent Offering is NOK 27 per Offer Share, which is the same as in the private placement announced on 13 May 2019 (the “Private Placement”).

The subscription period for the Subsequent Offering commences today, 6 August 2019, at 09:00 hours (CEST) and will expire at 16:30 hours (CEST) on 19 August 2019.

Existing shareholders as of 13 May 2019, as registered in Verdipapirsentralen (“VPS”) on 15 May 2019 (the "Record Date") who were not allocated shares in the Private Placement and who are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful, or for jurisdictions other than Norway, would require any filing, registration or similar action (the "Eligible Shareholders"), are granted non-transferable subscription rights (the "Subscription Rights") that, subject to applicable law, provide preferential rights to subscribe for, and be allocated, Offer Shares.

For each share recorded as held in Data Respons as of expiry of the Record Date, each Eligible Shareholder will receive approximately 0.053 Subscription Rights, rounded down to the nearest whole Subscription Right. Each Subscription Right gives the right to subscribe for and be allocated one Offer Share in the Subsequent Offering. The Subscription Rights will be distributed free of charge to the VPS accounts of each Eligible Shareholder today, 6 August 2019.
Oversubscription is permitted, however there can be no assurance that shares will be allocated for such subscription. Subscription without Subscription Rights is not allowed.
