Techstep ASA: Potential divesting of the Business Critical Mobility business in the Nordics - streamlining operations to enhance focus on core managed mobility services

Oslo, 27 November 2025 at 07:00 CET: Techstep has entered into a non-binding term sheet regarding a potential divestment of its Business Critical Mobility business (the "BCM Business") to IDnet AB, a subsidiary of Lexit Group AS, (the "Transaction"), with negotiations having progressed to an advanced stage.

The BCM Business was acquired as part of Techstep's acquisition of OptiDev AB in 2021 and represents a market segment separate from the company's core operations. The contemplated divestment aligns with Techstep's intention to streamline operations and sharpen focus on its primary business areas.

"A divestment of the BCM Business allows us to concentrate on what we do best - enabling businesses to operate smartly, securely, and sustainably through mobile technology and managed mobility services. It strengthens our financial position and operational efficiency, while ensuring continuity for customers through a strong partnership. It will also ensure a great home for our customers and employees in BCM, becoming part of Lexit Group that focuses specifically on "rugged" applications and frontline workers" said CEO of Techstep ASA Morten Meier.

"We are excited about the opportunity to acquire the BCM business from Techstep. This business has strong competencies, solutions, and customer relationships that provide for a very natural fit with our existing business and our expansion strategy", said Chairman of Lexit Group AS, Sjur Skjæveland.

The Transaction is expected to be structured as a carve-out of the BCM Business and transferred by way of an asset sale or a share transfer following completion of a carve-out into a newly established company. The parties are in the final stages of the carve-out process, and Agreement is expected to be concluded in December. Completion of the Transaction is subject to satisfactory completion of the ongoing due diligence, execution of a definitive purchase agreement containing customary terms and closing conditions, including completion of the carve-out and regulatory approvals. The parties anticipate that the Transaction will close early Q1-2026, however, no assurances can be given that the Transaction will be consummated as set out in the non-binding term sheet or at all.
The Company plans to apply the Transaction proceeds toward the repayment of its interest-bearing debt and to enhance its financial flexibility to pursue strategic growth initiatives.
