Expanding the Kahoot! platform to create the ultimate learning destination

The Kahoot! Group has also expanded its learning platform with the acquisition 
of five companies, including award-winning apps DragonBox and Poio in 2019, the 
former taking math learning to the next level and the latter empowering kids to 
learn to read through play. Kahoot! acquired the employee engagement platform 
Actimo and the Drops language learning platform in 2020. This February, Kahoot! 
acquired Whiteboard.fi, an online whiteboard tool for all educators, teachers 
and classrooms.

In October 2019, Kahoot! was listed on Euronext Growth-an equity trading market 
for SMEs-and already has a strong base of over 20,000 investors across Europe, 
U.S. and Asia, including institutional and global investors such as SoftBank, 
Microsoft and Disney. With the transition to Oslo Stock Exchange main list, 
Kahoot! will be available to an even larger, global investor base with a 
passion for making learning awesome!

An innovative approach that sets Kahoot! Apart

Kahoot!'s scalable cloud-based technology platform supported by a viral 
distributed model, the offerings from Kahoot! Group companies, as well as a 
globally recognized and trusted brand across all user groups underpin Kahoot!'s 
highly differentiated competitive position. The company takes a user-centric 
and data-driven approach to product development and innovation, benefitting 
from a large market opportunity with a thriving e-learning market.

Kahoot! has maintained a profitable growth path with positive cash flow from 
operations the last five quarters, as well as solid funding for continued 
investments in organic product development and non-organic growth 
opportunities. With this, Kahoot! plans to deliver even more exciting new 
offerings, features and initiatives for its users and continue to make learning 
awesome worldwide.

"We are thrilled to mark this important milestone in Kahoot!'s journey as we 
take the next step toward our vision to become the leading learning platform in
