ACARIX CARRIES OUT A DIRECTED SHARE ISSUE OF APPROX. SEK 33.4 MILLION

"Our successful financing round, which includes strong participation from existing shareholders in both the U.S. and the Nordics as well as several new investors, is a clear vote of confidence in Acarix, the CADScor® System, and our long-term strategy. We are especially encouraged by the continued commitment from our U.S. investor base, including cardiologists who see the clinical value of CADScor® first-hand in everyday practice. This support reinforces our belief that we are still in the early stages of unlocking the full potential of our technology. With this new capital, we are well positioned to accelerate commercial execution, advance our innovation pipeline, and continue building momentum toward the next set of positive milestones for patients, providers, and shareholders alike.", comments Acarix CEO Aamir Mahmood.

Jan Poulsen, Chairman of the Board says: “It is gratifying to see the continued support from both our US and Nordic shareholders, and we are also very pleased to welcome new long term Nordic investors. In the Board, we believe that being able to raise new financing in a directed issue with a modest discount under the current market conditions is beneficial to all shareholders. It demonstrates the confidence in Acarix and the potential of its technology. It should be noted, that for legal reasons, the board and management were prevented from participating in this financing.”

The Directed Share Issue

The Board of Directors of Acarix has today resolved to carry out a new issue of maximum 117,236,844 shares with deviation from the existing shareholders' preferential rights. The subscription price of SEK 0.285 per share in the Directed Share Issue has been determined by the Board of Directors based on negotiations with the investors and shall be paid in cash. The subscription price represents a discount of 7.9 percent based on the closing price on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market on 5 december, 2025.

Subscribers in the Directed Share Issue consist of a group of reputable US investors mainly active in the life science sector. A number of qualified Nordic investors also participate, including Mikael Lönn, Michael Thorén and Anton Rehnström. The reasons why existing shareholders are participating are partly that this was a request from new investors, and partly that the Board of Directors has deemed it strategic and wise to include these committed shareholders in the Directed Share Issue. All investors have entered into subscription undertakings prior to the Directed Share Issue.

The subscription price in the Directed Share Issue has been determined based on several factors, including the market situation, the Company's financial needs, alternative costs for other financing alternatives, customary discounts in connection with directed share issues, and assessed market interest for an investment in the Company. Based on the factors mentioned above, it is the Board of Directors' assessment that the subscription price reflects current market conditions and current demand. Against this background, the Board of Directors considers the subscription price to be market-based.

To drive commercialization of the CADScor® System and position the Company for sustainable growth and profitability, the net proceeds from the Directed Share Issue will be allocated as follows:

• Working Capital and Continued Commercialization ~45 %
• CADScor® Gen 2 launch and Clinical Validation ~ 25 %
• International Distribution Expansion ~ 15 %
• Scaling Production ~ 15 %

The Directed Share Issue was resolved pursuant to the authorization granted by the annual general meeting on 13 May 2025.

Changes in share capital, number of shares and votes and dilution

By the Directed Share Issue, the Company's share capital will increase by a maximum of SEK 1,172,368.44, from SEK 11,233,201.42 to SEK 12,405,569.86. The total number of shares and votes will increase by 117,236,844 from 1,123,320,142 to 1,240,556,986 shares/votes. The completion of the Directed Share Issue entails a dilution of approximately 9.45 percent in relation to the total number of outstanding shares and votes in the Company.

The Board of Directors' considerations

Prior to the decision to carry out the Directed Share Issue, the Board of Directors carefully considered alternative financing routes, including the conditions for carrying out a new share issue with preferential rights for the Company's existing shareholders. The Board of Directors' is aware that cash issues should, as a main rule, be carried out as preferential issues and has taken into account the rules issued by the Swedish Securities Market Self-Regulation Committee (ASK). ASK's rules state that it may normally be considered acceptable for new issues to be carried out with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights if it, based on the circumstances on objective grounds, can be considered to be in the shareholders' interest to deviate from the preferential rights. After an overall assessment of the current market situation and Acarix' financial situation, the Board of Directors considers that, on objective grounds, it may be considered to be in the interest of all shareholders to carry out the Directed Share Issue in accordance with the presented terms and conditions, which, according to the Board of Directors, can be considered balanced and market-based. The Board of Directors sets out its considerations below.

• Unlike a rights issue, the Directed Share Issue is expected to further strengthen the relationship with reputable American investors active in the cardiology sector, which is of strategic importance for the Company’s US expansion.
• The Directed Share Issue meets the Company's financing needs in a more efficient way than a rights issue, which would be more time and resource consuming compared to the Directed Share Issue, not least due to the work and costs related to guarantee procurement. The Directed Share Issue has, through intensive work by the management, the Board of Directors and the advisors, been carried out in a short time and with good results.
• The Directed Share Issue has been carried out at a price with a limited discount. A rights issue would in all likelihood have had to be made at a not insignificant discount, which would lead to greater dilution effects for the Company's existing shareholders. This has been avoided through the Directed Share Issue. From a shareholder perspective, a rights issue at a discount also entails a risk of a significant negative effect on the share price.
• The Directed Share Issue is in line with the authorization resolved by the shareholders at the annual general meeting on 13 May 2025, which included a right for the Board of Directors to resolve on share issues with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights. The authorization contained certain conditions and limits, including that an issue may not be larger than 20% of the current number of shares. The Directed Share Issue is within these conditions and limits.

In light of the above, the Board of Directors has made the assessment that a directed share issue on the current terms is a better alternative for all shareholders than carrying out a customary rights issue (with a significant discount to the current market price). The Board of Directors' overall assessment is thus that the reported reasons for a directed share issue outweigh the reasons for a rights issue and that the Directed Share Issue may thus be considered to be in the interest of both the Company and all shareholders.
