Cinis Fertilizer
Cinis Fertilizer has resolved on set-off issues to bondholders
In connection with the capital raising announced by the Company on 15 April 2025, the Company has worked together with major holders (the "Bondholders") of the Company's Bonds to reach an agreement in principle on certain amendments and waivers under the terms and conditions of the Bonds (the "Terms and Conditions") to strengthen the Company's liquidity and capital structure. The agreement in principle consists of, inter alia, that the interest due on the Bonds and payable on the interest payment dates 26 August 2025 up to and including 26 February 2026 is waived, and the interest payable on the interest payment date 26 May 2025 is set off by the Bondholders against new shares in Set-off Issue I, which thus entails a liquidity strengthening of approximately SEK 56.1 million until the second quarter of 2026. The Board of Directors of the Company has today, in accordance with what has previously been communicated, resolved on Set-Off Issue I to set-off the interest that was due for payment on 26 May 2025 against new shares in the Company.
In addition, the agreement in principle outlines that as compensation to the Bondholders, for entering into underwriting commitments related to the rights issue of shares announced by the Company on 15 April 2025, inter alia, a conversion of Bonds of SEK 210.0 million into new super senior bonds (the "New Bonds") is made. As compensation for the structuring of the New Bonds, the holders of the New Bonds will receive a structuring fee corresponding to five (5) per cent of the nominal amount of the New Bonds (i.e. SEK 10,500,000.0) (the "Structuring Fee"). The Board of Directors of the Company has today, in accordance with what has previously been communicated, resolved on Set-Off Issue II to set-off the Structuring Fee against new shares in the Company.
The Board of Directors believes that it is in favour of the Company's financial position to take advantage of the possibility to pay the interest due on the Bonds and the Structuring Fee in the form of shares instead of cash payment. The reason for the Board of director's resolution to deviate from the shareholders' preferential rights is to enable a strengthening of the Company's balance sheet by reducing the Company's indebtedness.
The subscription price in Set-off Issue I is SEK 0.25 per share and the subscription price in Set-off Issue II is SEK 1.0 per share. The subscription prices in the Set-Off Issues have been determined by the Board of Directors through arm's length negotiations with the Bondholders, whereby the Board of Directors has taken into account several factors such as the market situation, the Company's financing needs, alternative cost for other financing, customary discount for issues and assessed market interest for an investment in the Company. It is the Board's assessment, based on the above factors, that the subscription prices reflect current market conditions and current demand and are thus market-based.
All shares in the Set-off Issues have been subscribed for and allotted.
Shares and share capital
Through the Set-Off Issues, the Company's share capital will increase by SEK 665,967.00 through the issuance of 66,596,700 new shares. The Set-Off Issues entail a dilution of approximately 29.1 per cent of votes and capital based on the total number of outstanding shares in Cinis after the Set-Off Issues.

Matters discussed in this press release may contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are all statements that do not refer to historical facts and events, as well as statements that refer to the future and for example contain expressions such as "anticipates", "intends", "may', "will", "should", "estimates", "believes", "may", "plans", "continues", "potential", "estimates", "forecasts", "known" or similar expressions. In particular, these statements relate to future results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, plans and expectations of the Company's business and management, future growth and profitability and the general economic and regulatory environment and other circumstances affecting the Company, many of which are in turn based on additional assumptions, such as the absence of changes in existing political, legal, tax, market or economic conditions or in applicable laws (including, but not limited to, accounting principles, accounting methods and tax policies), which individually or in the aggregate could be material to the Company's results of operations or its ability to operate its business.
