As previously communicated in connection with the Rights Issue, the underwriters, in accordance with the underwriting agreements, had the option to receive underwriting compensation in the form of cash compensation or in the form of newly issued shares in the Company. All underwriters have chosen compensation in the form of newly issued shares, including the major shareholder Maida Vale Capital AB.

As a result, the Board of Directors has, in accordance with the resolution from the Annual General Meeting held on 29 May 2024, resolved on allotment in the Compensation Issue. Payment in the Compensation Issue is made by set-off of the underwriters' claim for underwriting compensation. The subscription price has been set at SEK 0.90 per share, corresponding to the subscription price in the Rights Issue. In light of this, the Board of Directors assesses that the subscription price is in line with market conditions. A total of 6,464,541 shares is allocated to the underwriters in the Compensation Issue.

The reason for the deviation from the shareholders preferential right in the Compensation Issue is to fulfill the Company's contractual obligation to the underwriters. The board believes that it is beneficial for the Company's financial position to take advantage of the opportunity to pay the underwriting compensation in the form of shares instead of a cash payment as it has a positive effect on the Company’s liquidity.

Shares, share capital, and dilution
Following the final registration of the Rights Issue with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, the Compensation Issue will result in an increase in the number of shares in the Company by an additional 6,464,541 shares, from 82,700,919 shares to 89,165,460 shares, and an increase in share capital by an additional SEK 1,700,174.283, from SEK 21,750,341.697 to SEK 23,450,515.980, corresponding to a dilution effect of approximately 7.3 percent.
