Ensurge Micropower ASA 2023 ESPP 

The ESPP is available on the Company's website. https://assets.milestoneinternet.com/ensurge-inc/pdf/ensurge-2023-employee-share-purchase-plan.pdf

Any person who is an eligible participant has been offered to subscribe for shares in the Company in connection with the ESPP. The ESPP is structured around two offering periods, starting on the first day of the calendar month following each planned public disclosure on Oslo Børs of the half-yearly and fourth quarter financial results of the Company, such calendar months being September through February and March through August. During each offering period, a fixed amount (up to 20% of the employee's gross (pre-tax) base salary or, in the case of contractors, up to 20% of the service fee payable to such contractor) is withheld from the employee's net salary or from the contractor's service fee, which fixed amount must be at least a total of NOK 6,000 (or equivalent foreign currency) for each offering period. The Participant may sign up to participate in the ESPP from the date of the public disclosure of the half-yearly or fourth quarter financial results until the day before the commencement of the offering period. Unless the Participant actively withdraws from the ESPP, participation is automatically renewed for the same amount for subsequent offering periods. The board's resolution to issue new shares in connection with the ESPP is made pursuant to the authorization granted by the Company's annual general meeting on 24 May 2023 to increase the Company's share capital in connection with the ESPP. Settlement of the subscription amount is made by set-off against debt to the employees and contractors (offset). 

In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation") Article 1 (5) h, issuance of shares in connection with the ESPP is exempt from the obligation to publish a listing prospectus.
