Information to distributors

Solely for the purpose of Pareto Securities AB’s (the “Manufacturer”) product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the shares in the issuer (the “Shares”) has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Shares is a) eligible counterparties, professional clients and retail clients, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II") and who; b) have at least a common/normal understanding of the capital markets, c) is able to bear the losses of their invested amount and, d) is willing to accept risks connected with the Shares, and e) have an investment horizon which takes into consideration the liquidity of the Shares. The issuer has not published sufficient data for the Manufacturer to determine whether an investment in the transaction is compatible for investors who have expressed sustainability related objectives with their investments based on that which i) is an environmentally sustainable investment under the EU Taxonomy Regulation, ii) represents a sustainable investment under the Sustainable Financial Disclosure Regulation (the “SFDR”), and/or iii) takes into consideration any Principle Adverse Impacts on sustainably factors as per the SFDR; (ii) the negative target market for the Shares is clients that seek full capital protection or full repayments of the amount invested, are fully risk averse/have no risk tolerance or need a fully guaranteed income or fully predictable return profile and (iii) all channels for distribution of the Shares to eligible counterparties, professional clients and retail clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Shares (a "Distributor") should take into consideration the Manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Shares (by either adopting or refining the Manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels. For the avoidance of doubt, the target market assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Shares.

Notwithstanding, and without affecting the Manufacturer’s target market assessment, Pareto Securities will only allow distribution through its distribution channels to investors who: a) in the EU meet the requirements set out in the Manufacturer’s target market assessment, and who b) in respect of investors residing outside the Nordics at least can be classified as professional clients or eligible counterparties as per the MiFID II definition.

For distribution to investors located outside of the EU, distribution of the Shares is only allowed to such investors which a) Pareto Securities can approach as per the rules of the jurisdiction in which the investor reside, and b) which can provide adequate confirmations to this effect, and c) which as per minimum meets the requirements of the Manufacturer’s target market assessment.
