Background and reasons for the deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights
As members of the Company's Board of Directors and management are included among the proposed subscribers, the issue is subject to the provisions of Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act, the so-called Leo Act. Consequently, the Board of Directors has carefully considered the proposal.
The share issue is carried out for the purpose of strengthening the Company's liquidity and improving the Company's financial position in a time- and cost-efficient manner. Prior to proposing the issue, the Board of Directors has carefully examined and considered alternative financing options, including raising capital through a rights issue. However, following an overall assessment and careful consideration, the Board of Directors has concluded that a new share issue with deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights constitutes a more favourable alternative for the Company and its shareholders than a rights issue and that it is objectively in the interests of both the Company and its shareholders to carry out the issue. The Board of Directors has, among other things, taken the following factors into account.
A rights issue would have required significantly more time and resources than the proposed issue, inter alia due to the extensive work required to ensure such an offering. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a rights issue would be fully subscribed. By reducing the time required, the Company gains greater flexibility to take advantage of short-term investment opportunities, while reducing its exposure to fluctuations in the stock market and benefiting from the current interest in the Company's share. The costs associated with the issue are also expected to be lower than those of a rights issue, not least because a rights issue, given the market volatility experienced during 2025 and 2026, would likely require extensive underwriting commitments from a guarantee consortium, which in turn would entail additional costs and/or dilution for shareholders depending on how such compensation would be structured.
The reason for directing the issue to existing shareholders and members of the Board of Directors and management is that these parties have expressed and demonstrated a long-term commitment to the Company, which in the Board of Directors' assessment creates security and stability for both the Company and its shareholders and contributes significant strategic and long-term value.
