Paul Ehrnrooth, Chair of Savox's Board of Directors, comments:
"The defence and safety and security sectors are undergoing a structural transformation, and the markets are expected to grow in the coming years. Savox has also grown strongly in recent years, particularly in the defence sector, where we have grown at an average rate of over 60 per cent on a yearly basis (CAGR) in 2021–2025.
The just launched offering supports our strategic growth objectives. At this stage, I would like to thank the cornerstone investors who have wanted to become our shareholders. I also welcome retail investors to join us in building Savox into an even more successful, internationally competitive provider of critical communications systems in the important defence as well as safety and security sectors."
Jerry Kettunen, Savox's CEO, comments:
"Savox has over the years succeeded in establishing a strong position as a provider of critical communications systems in the global defence as well as safety and security sector. In recent years, we have expanded our operations particularly in the defence sector, which already accounted for approximately 51 per cent of our revenue last year. Our product offering includes, for example, tactical communication devices and next-generation intercom and vision solutions.
Our technology platform enables system interoperability across different systems. Our vertically integrated manufacturing model, in turn, supports product development in collaboration with our customers. Although we operate globally, our production is primarily concentrated in Finland.
Savox's aim is to continue accelerating growth in a determined manner across Europe, the United States, and selected Asia-Pacific markets. The market is at a very interesting stage of development, and we believe this is a good moment to invite new investors to join us in supporting the execution of Savox's growth strategy."
Background and reasons for the Offering
Savox is a Finnish company operating in the critical communications sector that offers a wide range of communication devices and solutions for global defence, law enforcement, fire and rescue, and industrial markets. The Company has a broad product portfolio covering tactical communication controllers, advanced hearing protection, rugged ICT devices, search and rescue systems, and next-generation intercom and vision solutions. Savox's end customers include, among others, defence forces, law enforcement authorities, fire and rescue organisations, and industrial professionals. The Company's solutions support these customers' safe and effective communication, coordination, and operation, particularly in demanding field conditions.
The objective of the Offering is to support the implementation of Savox's long-term business strategy and strategic objectives. Proceeds from the Share Issue would strengthen the Company's balance sheet and financial flexibility, which would enable the implementation of the growth strategy. Stronger balance sheet would particularly support working capital management, the financing of customer and programme projects and long-term product development investments, enabling greater financial flexibility and optionality in funding. The Listing would also allow Savox to access the capital markets and broaden its ownership base both with domestic and foreign investors, which would increase the liquidity of the Shares. Furthermore, the Offering is expected to benefit Savox operationally, strengthen Savox's recognition among its customers, prospective employees and investors and other stakeholders and, thus, enhancing the Company's competitiveness and supporting long-term value creation. The Listing and increased liquidity would also enable the Company to use its Shares more effectively as consideration in potential acquisitions and remuneration of personnel.

Preliminarily a maximum of 4,429,430 Offer Shares are being offered in the Institutional Offering to institutional investors through private placements in Finland and, in accordance with the applicable laws, internationally outside the United States.

The Over-Allotment Option is exercisable within 30 days from the commencement of trading in the Shares on the prelist of Nasdaq Helsinki (i.e., on or about the period between 18 June 2026 and 18 July 2026).
