As announced on 28 February 2024, Irisity AB (publ) ("Irisity" or the "Company") entered into a binding term sheet to acquire 100 per cent of the shares in Ultinous Zrt ("Ultinous") for a consideration of SEK 45 million on a cash and debt free basis (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition has been subject to national FDI Regulation requiring approval from Swedish and Hungarian authorities, both of which have been approved. Thus, the Acquisition has today been completed. The Company's Board of Directors has resolved to finance the Acquisition through an issue in kind entailing 9,000,000 new shares in Irisity at a subscription price of SEK 5.00 per share (the "In-kind Issue"). In connection with the Acquisition, and as part of the term sheet, StockhornCapital AB (founded by Gustav Andersson and InnaKaushan) has invested SEK 45 million in Irisity through a directed share issue on the same terms as the In-kind Issue, i.e., SEK5.00 per share (the"Directed Issue") which has secured the Company's liquidity needs.

Ultinous, founded in 2014, is a Swedish-Hungarian AI company specializing in Nvidia-based AI video analytics, with offices in Budapest and Malmö. Their Ultinous AI Suite offers forensic and real-time video analytics for safety, security, and video-to-data analytics needs, available for both on-prem and cloud environments. Ultinous will enhance Irisity's current product offering by incorporating sophisticated video analytics and creating synergies, while providing a new development hub and access to top-tier talent for global market solutions. The acquisition of Ultinous is expected to create future growth opportunities for both Ultinous as a stand-alone and within the Irisity group.

"We are pleased to announce the closing of the acquisition of Ultinous, which allows us to immediately address the significant AI software growth potential in industrial safety use cases while enhancing our development capabilities with a new hub in Budapest. This strategic acquisition, combined with our ongoing streamlining initiatives, is expected to save costs and improve profitability by optimizing resource management and development efficiency" says Keven Marier, CEO of Irisity.

Financing and terms and conditions

The In-kind Issue

As announced 28 February 2024, the purchase price for all Ultinous shares, on a cash and debt free basis, amounts to SEK 45 million and will be paid by way of the In-kind Issue consisting of 9,000,000 new shares in Irisity at a subscription price of SEK 5.00 per share. The Board of Directors of Irisity has, based on the authorization given by the extraordinary general meeting held on 19 March 2024, today resolved on the In-kind Issue.

The subscription price has been set after arm's length negotiations with the sellers of Ultinous, and it is the Board of Directors' assessment that the subscription price is on market terms and conditions. The reason for deviating from the shareholders preferential rights is that a prerequisite for Irisity to be able to complete the acquisition of Ultinous is that Irisity pays the purchase price by issuing its own shares to the sellers of Ultinous.

The Directed Issue

In connection with the Acquisition, and as part of the term sheet, Stockhorn Capital AB (founded by Gustav Andersson and Inna Kaushan) has invested SEK 45 million in Irisity through the Directed Issue on the same terms as the In-kind Issue, i.e., SEK 5.00 per share. The Board of Directors of Irisity has resolved on the Directed Issue based on the authorization given by the extraordinary general meeting held on 19 March 2024.

As announced 28 February 2024, the Company's Board of Directors has conducted a comprehensive assessment and carefully considered the option of raising capital through a rights issue. However, considering the current market conditions, the Board of Directors believes that, for example, it would pose a risk to the Company's ability to meet its capital needs and maintain an optimal capital structure. The reasons for deviating from raising capital through a rights issue are (i) that the Directed Issue can be carried out in a more time-efficient manner and at a lower cost and with less potential market volatility, (ii) that considering the current market conditions and the market volatility observed, the Board of Directors has assessed that a rights issue would likely require significant underwriting from an underwriting consortium, which would incur additional costs and/or further dilution for shareholders depending on the type of consideration paid for such underwriting commitments, particularly considering the total proceeds of the Directed Issue, (iii) that it would likely need to be made at a lower subscription price given the discount levels for rights issues carried out in the market recently, (iv) unlike the implementation of a rights issue, the Directed Issue means that the Company's shareholder base is complemented with a financially strong owner, which is expected to strengthen Irisity's long-term ability to implement the Company's growth strategy, and (v) that Stockhorn Capital, being a strategic long term investor, will contribute with experience and knowledge. The Board of Directors' overall assessment is that the reasons for implementing the Directed Issue with deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights outweigh the reasons justifying the main rule that new share issues should be carried out with pre-emptive rights for shareholders and that an issuance of new shares with deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights is in the interest of Irisity and all shareholders. The subscription price for the newly issued shares has been determined by the Board of Directors following arm's length negotiations with Stockhorn Capital AB and entails a premium compared to the closing price of the Iristy share of approximately 10 per cent as of the date of the term sheet, 28 February 2024, and approximately 29 per cent as of 28 May 2024. Consequently, the Board of Directors considers that the subscription price is therefore market based.

• repayment of Irisity's approximately MSEK 11.7 loan to DBT Capital AB and
• working capital to support Irisity on the continued trajectory of growth and profitability.

As communicated in the Q1 report, the completion of the Directed Issue to Stockhorn has secured the Company's liquidity needs.

Dilution

Through the In-kind Issue, Irisity's share capital will increase by SEK 810,000 to SEK 5,240,694.24 and the number of shares and votes in the Company will increase by 9,000,000 to 58,229,936. Furthermore, through the Directed Issue, Irisity's share capital will increase by SEK 810,000 to SEK6,050,694.24 and the number of shares and votes in the Company will increase by 9,000,000 to 67,229,936. The total dilution after the In-kind Issue and the Directed Issue will result in a dilution of approximately 26.8 per cent of the number of shares and votes in Irisity.

Lock-up undertakings

The sellers of Ultinous have undertaken not to divest any shares in Irisity for a period of two (2) years from the date of completion of the Acquisition. The lock-up is conditional upon that some of Irisity's existing shareholders, among others Aktiebolaget Westergyllen and Sun Red Beach Growth Partner aps, maintain their shareholding in Irisity for the same period.
