Asetek A/S (the "Company" or "Asetek") today announces that 219,925,366 new shares (the "New Shares") offered under the rights issue announced by the Company on 2 December 2024 (the "Offering") have been subscribed for.

The total number of New Shares subscribed for corresponds to gross proceeds accruing to the Company of DKK 87,970,146.4 corresponding to 74.6 % of the total Offering of approximately DKK 118 million. Accordingly, the Company expects to complete the Offering on 3 January 2025 after receipt of all subscription amounts and registration of the capital increase with the Danish Business Authority. The New Shares will comprise 69.1 % of the Company's total share capital following registration of the capital increase with the Danish Business Authority.

"I would like to start by expressing my gratitude to all existing and new shareholders who participated in this rights issue. I am pleased to note that all our major shareholders, as well as a large number of retail shareholders, have taken part in the Offering. While we did not reach the maximum amount, I view the outcome as a clear indication of shareholder support for our strategy and ambitions for the medium term. The funds we have now raised provide us with a stronger financial position, which will enable Asetek to continue investments in the SimSports segment. Furthermore, I believe it will enhance our ability to secure complementary non-dilutive financing in the medium term, and if needed we will adjust our plans to ensure sufficient runway to reach profitability in the SimSports segment. Thus, our full focus will now be on executing our business plan to achieve the medium-term ambitions we have communicated", says René Svendsen-Tune, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asetek.

Approximately 91.9 % of the New Shares have been subscribed for by exercise of pre-emptive subscription rights, and the remaining 8.1 % have been subscribed for through applications for New Shares not subscribed for by exercise of pre-emptive rights (the "Remaining Shares") or by subscription and guarantee commitments entered into with members of the Company's Board of Directors, the Company's management and existing shareholders. The Offering was not oversubscribed, and all applications for Remaining Shares have received full allocation.

The New Shares will as soon as possible after registration of the capital increase with the Danish Business Authority be admitted to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S under the ISIN code for the Company's existing shares, DK0060477263, expected to occur no later than 6 January 2025.

As stated in the company announcements of 2 December 2024 and 20 December 2024 and the prospectus, the Offering may be withdrawn by the Company, subject to certain conditions, before registration of the capital increase relating to the New Shares with the Danish Business Authority. Any such withdrawal will be notified via Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S.
