About the Rights Issue
Those who were registered as shareholders in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB on the record date 26 February 2024 had pre-emptive rights to subscribe for shares in the Rights Issue. Each share held in Nanologica entitled to one (1) subscription right and nine (9) subscription rights entitled to subscription of two (2) new shares at the subscription price of SEK 6.75 per share. In addition, the option to subscribe for shares without the support of subscription rights was offered. The Rights Issue was fully covered by subscription commitments and guarantee undertakings.
 
Final outcome
The final outcome in the Rights Issue shows that 5,316,858 shares, corresponding to approximately 66.2 percent of the offered shares, have been subscribed with the support of subscription rights, whereof 914,996 shares that have been subscribed by Flerie Invest AB will be paid by way of set-off against Flerie Invest AB’s outstanding loan to the Company in accordance with what has previously been communicated. In addition, applications for subscription of 186,417 shares without subscription rights, corresponding to approximately 2.3 percent of the offered shares, have been received. Consequently, the Rights Issue is subscribed to approximately 68.5 percent of the offered shares with and without the support of subscription rights. Thus, guarantee commitments of 2,529,201 shares, corresponding to approximately 31.5 percent of the offered shares, will be utilised. This entails that the authorisation to decide on an over-allotment option in the event that the Rights Issue was oversubscribed that was resolved by the extraordinary general meeting on 22 February 2024 will not be utilised. The Rights Issue will provide the Company with approximately SEK 54.2m before deduction of transaction costs and set-off of the loan.
 
Trading in paid subscribed shares (”BTA”) will take place on Nasdaq Stockholm until the Swedish Companies Registration Office has registered the Rights Issue and the BTAs are converted to shares, which is expected to take place during week 14 2024.

Allotment of shares has taken place in accordance with the allotment principles set out in the prospectus that was published on 23 February 2024. Notice of allotment to the persons who have subscribed for shares without subscription rights is expected to be distributed on 15 March 2024. Such subscribed and allotted shares shall be paid for in cash in accordance with the instructions on the contract note. Subscribers who have subscribed for shares through a nominee will receive notification of allocation in accordance with the respective nominee’s procedures. Only those who have been allotted shares will be notified.

The extraordinary general meeting held on 22 February 2024 resolved to reduce the share capital by an amount in SEK corresponding to the amount with which the share capital increases through the Rights Issue.
