Flat Capital AB (publ) ("Flat") publishes its interim report for January-March 2023 where the net asset value per share amounts to 10.01 SEK, which corresponds to a decrease of -7.4% for the quarter. During the period, we have made an investment corresponding to 5.4 MSEK in the AI company DeepL and a divestment of all shares in Global-e which amounted to a final profit of SEK 15.9 million, since Flat's IPO, resulting in a particularly attractive return of approx. 10.4x. Although the market during the period has been characterized by continued uncertainty and nervousness, we see that investment activity has cautiously started and that valuations have stabilized somewhat. We are following the market development with both humility and enthusiasm, where we are prepared with cash and ambition to take advantage of the attractive opportunities that arise.
