On December 1, 2022, FREYR Battery (“FREYR” or the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among Credit Suisse (USA) LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to an offering of an aggregate of 20,000,000 ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) of the Company, without nominal value. The offering price to the public is $11.50 per Ordinary Share. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option for 30 days to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Option Shares”, together with the Ordinary Shares, the “Shares”), which the Underwriters exercised in full on December 1, 2022. Closing for the sale of the Shares occurred on December 5, 2022. The Company estimates that the net proceeds to the Company will be approximately $251,286,250 after deduction of the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

The Shares are being sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated December 1, 2022, and related prospectus, dated September 1, 2022, each filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, relating to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-267235).
