The agreement and terms of the transaction

The agreement between Jonetix and Imsys establishes CTS as a joint-venture company with the intention that the parties, when the transaction is completed, will hold 50 percent each. Jonetix and Imsys mutually license their patent portfolios to CTS. Through the agreement, Imsys will immediately receive 25 percent of the shares in CTS.

The remaining 25 percent in CTS is controlled by Hastemo Förvaltning AB, a company owned by Stefan Mårtensson. Hastemo Förvaltning AB is active in capital investments.

Hastemo Förvaltning AB has issued an option (the Option) giving Imsys the right to acquire 25 percent additional shares in CTS from Hastemo Förvaltning AB. According to the terms of the option, the purchase price amounts to 1.25 million newly issued shares in Imsys, and shall be paid through a directed new share issue. The total purchase price, calculated on closing share price as of Monday 28 March at SEK 6.70, amounts to SEK 8.375 million and results in a dilution of approximately 7.48 percent of the share capital and total voting rights. The term of the option closes on June 1, 2022

The option provides Imsys Directors opportunity to carry out an external valuation of CTS.

Latest 1 June 2022, Imsys' Board of Directors will decide to exercise or waive the option right. If the Board decides to exercise the option right, the purchase price shall be paid through a directed issue of new shares to Hastemo Förvaltning AB following a decision by the Board, which is based on authorization from the Annual General Meeting held in October 2021.

If the external valuation arrives on a valuation opinion, less than the option, Directors will renegotiate the purchase price. The Board's final decision will in due course be submitted for approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting.

In the joint-venture agreement, Imsys is responsibility for ongoing financing of the operations of CTS during 18 months effective March 1, 2022 and to contribute operating financing up to USD 200,000, which at USD/SEK exchange rate of 9.50 corresponds to SEK 1.9 million.

Imsys' CEO, Magnus Stuart, who has served as a Director of CTS since 2019, is in this matter a related party and thus does not participate in the Directors decision.
