Smart Eye carries out new issue of shares through set-off of receivables

MARKN.

In accordance with the press release submitted 25 May 2021, whereby Smart Eye Aktiebolag (publ) (“Smart Eye”) entered into an agreement to acquire all the shares in Affectiva, Inc. (“Affectiva”), Smart Eye would pay the purchase price partly through cash payment and partly through issue of shares. As a condition in the share purchase agreement a total of 339,042 shares in Smart Eye would be issued in parts of 84,301 shares one year after closing of the transaction and 254,741 shares two years after closing of the transaction.

In consideration of the above, the Board of Directors of Smart Eye, based on the authorization granted by the annual general meeting held on 2 May 2023, has resolved on a new issue of 254,741 shares. The right to subscribe for shares is only vested in a total of 11 former shareholders in Affectiva. Payment shall be made by set-off. The reason for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights are that the issue is carried out as a so-called set-off issue where the subscription proceeds are paid by offsetting claims against Smart Eye. Therefore, it is not possible to complete the issue with preferential rights for existing shareholders.

In total, the former owners of Affectiva shall offset receivables of SEK 60,755,728.50 as payment for subscription of 254,741 shares in Smart Eye. The subscription price is SEK 238.5 per share. The subscription price is in accordance with the share purchase agreement entered into with the Sellers on 25 May 2021, which has been negotiated at arm's length and corresponds to the volume-weighted average price for the company's shares on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the 10 trading days preceding the agreement date. The Board of Directors therefore considers that the subscription price is on market terms.

Trough the issue Smart Eye’s share capital will increase by a maximum of SEK 25,474.10 from SEK 3,493,749.10 to SEK 3,519,223.20. The number of shares will increase by a maximum of 254,741 from 34,937,491 to 35,192,232.
