Kongsberg Automotive ends a challenging 2023 with flat revenues, positive free cash flow, and strong order intake

Zurich, March 12, 2024: Kongsberg Automotive ASA (Kongsberg Automotive) has published its results for the fourth quarter of 2023. The results show a flat revenue development, positive adjusted EBIT in line with expectations, and positive free cash flow.“It was my honor to have been appointed as the interim President & CEO of KA in July 2023, and to have officially assumed the role as the company’s President & CEO from January 2024. I have been a proud member of the automotive industry for the last two decades, 16 years of which I have spent in KA. Before my appointment, I successfully led the Flow Control Systems business unit as the Executive Vice President. Revenues in Q4 were fairly stable compared to Q4 last year, while both adjusted EBIT and free cash flow came in positively in the quarter. For the fiscal year 2023, we are clearly not satisfied with our financial performance, even though we are showing underlying growth, and have turned every stone with the aim of regaining profitability and positive cash flow in 2024. We have also implemented substantial cost reduction initiatives, while continuing to assess parts of our operational set-up.  The operational improvements throughout the company have positioned us well to mitigate the impact of the disruptions in the supply chain, raw material and energy cost, inflation, and declining volumes within our Driveline business. KA launched a cost optimization program in the second half of 2023, which will contribute to the lowering of our overhead cost in 2024. Our performance over the past year makes me confident that we are growing in the right direction, and I expect that all operational measures we have taken in 2023 and 2024 will improve the profitability of KA considerably in 2024,” says President & CEO Linda Nyquist-Evenrud. Summary of the fourth quarter 2023 · Revenues MEUR 211 (MEUR 215) · Adjusted EBIT MEUR 5 (MEUR 11) · Net result after tax MEUR -26 (MEUR 13) · New business wins over MEUR 412 lifetime and MEUR 82 annualized revenues.

Despite the headwinds, KA continued to deliver on its revised guidance. However, impairments in the Driveline business led to significant after-tax loss and an overall unsatisfactory result. Group revenues from continuing operations amounted to MEUR 884.9 in 2023, a decrease of 2.3% compared to last year, but this includes negative currency translation effects of MEUR 38.0. Excluding revenues from operations divested to BRP of MEUR 88.1 in 2022, year-on-year growth at constant currency rates was 12.9%. Our revenue growth in the commercial vehicles area was above market for the third year in a row. This was mainly driven by the significant outperformance in revenues in the European truck market. Adjusted EBIT amounted to MEUR 23.7 in 2023 compared to MEUR 35.6 in 2022. Excluding adjusted EBIT of MEUR 14.5 from the Powersports business divested to BRP in 2022, current year’s adjusted EBIT increased by MEUR 2.6. The earnings from the positive development in the commercial vehicle markets in China and Europe were partially offset by the missing fall through from the declining revenues in the passenger car markets especially in China and increase of warranty expenses. Positioned for higher EBIT Over the course of 2023, KA has won MEUR 989.4 in lifetime revenues (MEUR 760.2) and MEUR 296.9 in annualized revenues (MEUR 246.9). KA has taken a concrete step forward during 2023, as annualized business wins have increased by 20% year-on-year, which also led to a positive book-to-bill ratio of 1.1. The main contributors have been Fluid Transfer Systems’ tubes and hoses and the On-Highway business unit accounting for 70% of the achieved bookings. As per our stated strategic goals, more than 80% of our business wins came from the non-passenger car segments, primarily truck and bus and industrial segments. KA also launched a comprehensive cost optimization program in the second half of 2023, which will contribute to the lowering of overhead costs in 2024. Focusing on core business. Carving out Driveline to demonstrate underlying growth KA has in 2023 carried out a strategic review of the company with the aim of maximizing shareholder values. Parts of the outcome of the process illuminate a deteriorating outlook for most of our Driveline business. This has led to a final impairment of the assets associated with the business unit. Whilst KA will continue to serve its existing customers in Driveline, the business unit will no longer be defined as core business and will be reported on separately under “other operations”. This will ensure displaying the underlying positive development of the core business of KA. KA believes that this reporting format will give its shareholders a better and more precise picture of the company’s profitability, growth opportunities and development going forward. With the ambition of regaining profitability and positive cash flow, KA has decided to change its focus from adjusted EBIT to EBIT. This is to ensure better focus and more transparency. Guidance for 2024 will therefore be given on EBIT. Acquisitions enabling long-term value In 2023, KA acquired innovative patents from Romoline for camera cleaners, developed in Norway. KA also signed an agreement to purchase 100% of the share capital of Skriverform AS, a company that designs and manufactures tools for injection molding (IM). Additionally, KA acquired 20% of Chassis Autonomy, a company providing solutions for the autonomous driving industry. The KA and Chassis Autonomy collaboration will allow KA to empower customers to incorporate fail-operational steer-by-wire solutions in their vehicles today, preparing them for autonomous driving (L3-5) for road and farming vehicles. For 2024, KA has the following expectations: · Revenue MEUR 830-880 of which · Core business is expected to be between MEUR 710 and MEUR 740, representing up to 2-3% percent growth. · Driveline without e-Actuators is expected to decline from MEUR 161 in 2023 to MEUR 120-140 in 2024. · EBIT MEUR 34-44 of which · Core business is expected to deliver MEUR 39 to MEUR 44. · Driveline is expected to deliver between MEUR -5 and MEUR 0. · New business wins are expected to exceed 2023 book-to-bill ratio of 1.1 and lifetime revenues of MEUR 989.4. Based on market data, such as IHS and LMC, KA expects to outperform the markets in 2024. KA has also initiated the process of refinancing the outstanding bond which matures in July 2025, and the RCF with maturity early the same year. The company expects to conclude the refinancing process in 2024. Based on the result for the full year the Board does not recommend any dividend payments. Overall, the expectations are based on existing framework agreements, current new product pipeline, the latest automotive industry production forecasts, and are highly dependent on the market developing as predicted.

CEO STATEMENT Dear shareholders, colleagues, customers, and partners: As we close the final chapter of 2023, I am pleased to report a period marked by substantial growth, strategic milestones, and pivotal advancements. This quarter, our team's focus on innovation and customer success has propelled our performance, reflecting positively in our financial and operational achievements. Financials In the financial sphere, our performance the fourth quarter 2023 has been a testament to the robustness and reliability of our business model, with recurring software revenues marking a significant leap to 15.7 MSEK, a 31% increase from the previous year, and a 47% growth for the full year 2023. This growth is further mirrored in our Software as a Service (SaaS) segment, where the Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) reached 31.0 MSEK, showcasing a solid 24% growth year-over-year. Moreover, we witnessed our net sales ascend to 15.8 MSEK, a notable 22% improvement from the last year, alongside our gross margin jumping to 77%. This remarkable rise in gross margin underlines the scalability and operational efficiency embedded within our business model. Despite these significant strides in revenue and margin, we observed an adjusted EBITDA of -5.8 MSEK. Though this figure stands in the negative territory, it marks a considerable improvement compared to the previous year, signaling a positive momentum that we are keenly focused on maintaining and building upon in 2024. API Call Volume growth We saw API Call volumes growing again although still not quite up to August 2023 levels when we had full steam ahead on WhatsApp. Two of our US customers have restarted their WhatsApp channels albeit with many limitations for security reasons and the beginning of this 2024, we see these volumes pick up again. The WhatsApp voice channel still is plagued by fraudulent calls trying to steal data or goods and Meta (owner of WhatsApp) is working to mitigate this. But it is back as a channel to reach Teneo and we see higher API Call volumes beginning of the first quarter 2024 than during the fourth quarter 2023. So, volumes are back! Reorganization During the fourth quarter 2023, we initiated a reorganization to prepare for 2024. We have split the Go To Market organization into two parts. One organization being responsible for all new sales and one responsible for existing accounts. This will both increase focus on existing accounts and on new accounts. These teams manage customers and prospects across our focus markets which are US, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Northern Europe. The focus on serving new customers is now half of our go to market organization which will ensure we get 1-2 new customers a quarter this year. Strategic Initiatives and Achievements The past quarter has been a period rich with strategic endeavors, all designed to position us in the lead for 2024. Our successful and oversubscribed (166%) rights issue initiated in the fourth quarter 2023 and closed in February 2024 injected approximately 25 MSEK into our operations, significantly bolstering our financial standing and better positioning us for further expansion into new customers. Additionally, we undertook the task of refining our Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) measurement methodology. This adjustment, aimed at achieving greater stability, mirrors our dedication to maintaining transparency and accuracy in our reporting practices. Central to our strategy this quarter has been our partnerships and innovations in product development. We launched integrated and live generative AI use cases in collaboration with Telefónica and HRSA, showcasing our leadership in technological innovation. Furthermore, our ability to renew agreements with esteemed customers like A1 Bulgaria, Widiba, BPM, and TIAA has not only solidified our market presence but also reaffirmed the trust our customers place in us. Moreover, our strides in AI technology, evidenced by the introduction of Accuracy booster and Generative AI Orchestration, have established new benchmarks within the industry, underscoring our commitment of leading through innovation. Strategic Review The board of directors of Artificial Solutions announced on October 26, 2023, that it initiates a review of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, as a consequence of the rapidly evolving market landscape in the field where Artificial Solutions is present. The review is still ongoing with interested parties and the board of directors has not set a timetable for completion of its review and has not committed to any obligation to make any further announcements until final decisions are made by the company’s board of directors. The board of directors emphasizes based on the ongoing strategic review discussions that our company is a leading player in the AI and Contact Center Software verticals and that we are recognized by many larger players in the industry as a leader.   KLARNA SHOWCASES THE POTENTIAL IN WHAT WE DO Klarna announced in a press release on February 24, 2024, that they handle two thirds of their customer care requests, equivalent to what 700 human agents can respond to, with a virtual AI Assistant. A total of 2.3 million chats have been managed so far. This put great focus on using AI for Customer Care. Klarna is natively digital with a modern application stack and with a B2C customer structure that has always been offered only chat in customer care. Our customers situations are more complex. They all offer phone as a primary means of contact as this channel also is used for selling to customers calling. They also have many disparate systems that contain the relevant information for a customer discussion making integration and performance key issues. This makes what our customers achieve with Teneo.ai even more impressive. Although our customers seldomly talk about how much staff time has been freed up it is easy to see that every million calls managed without a human per month means at least 1000 less staff in the Contact Center. In a Swedish context a Telia or Tele2 could save one thousand times a million annual per staff cost or a billion SEK. Several of our customers, for example Telefonica Germany, have already surpassed one million managed inbound calls per month. Handling voice instead of chat and replacing the dreaded “Listen Carefully!” Keypad Navigation Menu leading to phone queues with our OpenQuestion “How can I help you today?” gives happy customers and big savings. Managing more than a million phone calls per month separates our Teneo from all other players in the industry – and now Klarna has helped start the discussion on the impact on staffing – the real Return on Investment.

Katalysen publishes lessons learned from five years of venture development

As one of Europe's earliest venture developers, Katalysen has helped shape the characteristics that the innovation ecosystem associates with venture development, and we have been fortunate to inspire other investors and sector experts to adopt similar models to help more early-stage innovation thrive. Through Katalysen, venture development has become characterized by: Portfolio building: Similar to more traditional investors, a VD constructs a portfolio of equity. Investing mixed resources: The VD builds its portfolio through combined expertise+cash investments. Recognizing the scarcity of cash in early stages, we opt to exchange our expertise for equity, considering it a more favorable arrangement compared to obtaining short-term cash. Expertise investments are often combined with cash investments, capitalizing on synergies between these two crucial needs of most early-stage ventures. Not structured as a fund: By avoiding the traditional fund structure, a VD maintains greater agility and decision making autonomy. More than an investor: The VD positions itself as a partner to the venture, aiming to provide more comprehensive support compared to traditional investors. Warrants ensure careful alignment of interests: Preferring to trade expertise for options on equity (typically warrants), the VD ensures careful alignment of interests by setting the strike price at the venture's value at the start of the partnership. Both the VD and portfolio venture benefit from value created above the strike price, and if no further value is created then the VD has "worked" for free. With recent market turbulence hopefully behind us, now is an opportune moment to reflect on the lessons learned from five years of venture development. Over the next month, we plan to outline how we are implementing these lessons in Katalysen. Key lessons learned from five years of venture development: 1. Information advantage in venture development: Investing both expertise and capital provides the VD with a pronounced information edge over most investors, evident throughout the portfolio venture's entire lifespan. Initial meetings with Katalysen center on illustrating Katalysen's value proposition for entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs glean a crucial takeaway – recognizing that openness around key challenges is key towards maximizing the value extracted from a partnership with Katalysen. The focus shifts to how Katalysen can actively aid in overcoming these challenges. Throughout the partnership, actively collaborating with entrepreneurs towards milestones affords us valuable insights, enabling strategic investment timing. 2. Building an in-house team of experts comes with substantial costs and operational challenges. It poses financial and operational management hurdles due to the high expense associated with securing truly exceptional experts. Moreover, complexity arises from the difficulty in deploying these experts across an entire portfolio, given the diverse and specialized needs of individual ventures. 3. The significance of facilitating opportunities cannot be overstated. Instead of assembling a team of numerous experts, an effective alternative is cultivating a team of highly experienced generalists. These individuals possess a multifaceted perspective on early-stage venture development, having played various roles such as founders, investors, advisors, and more. Their extensive involvement has resulted in a wealth of experience. In our observation, many early-stage B2B ventures grapple with similar "core challenges". A team of seasoned venture developers is adept at addressing these core challenges across diverse sectors. Furthermore, the value added by generalists lies in their ability to connect disparate pieces of the puzzle, facilitating opportunities that demand a combination of a robust network, diverse experience, and a proven track record in facilitation. 4. While networks wield considerable power, activating them can be difficult. Experts within our established network, referred to as "in-network" specialists, offer comprehensive niche expertise. Although our network stands as an invaluable resource, the task lies in finding sustainable methods to effectively engage it across our portfolio. Sustaining collaborative efforts often hinges on equitable compensation, whether in the form of equity or cash. Notably, the most successful partnerships between our portfolio and network occur when individuals within the network invest in specific portfolio companies, underscoring the reciprocal nature of these relationships. 5. Serving as the sole active investor in an early-stage venture can be exceptionally demanding. While we take pride in being the inaugural "semi-institutional" investor in early-stage innovation, this position underscores the heightened importance of our role in facilitating the onboarding of subsequent investors. The need for a diversified investment base becomes paramount, emphasizing the significance of establishing a robust ecosystem of investors beyond the initial stages. 6. Agility stands as one of our paramount strengths. A distinguishing feature of a VD compared to accelerators or traditional VCs is the absence of a rigid "one model fits all" approach. Instead, we can tailor our strategies for each unique venture. Given the perpetual constraint of time, it becomes imperative for a VD to avoid overextending and compromising this invaluable customization advantage. Our experience has taught us that, as a VD, the more effective approach often involves a focused commitment to fewer initiatives, executed with unwavering effort and passion. 7. Things often take longer than expected when constructing prerequisites for growth. Our experience has revealed, rather than concentrating on establishing "prerequisites for growth," a more effective value creation strategy involves prioritizing the "removal of barriers to growth." Recognizing the inherent complexities and unpredictable nature of the growth journey, we have learned to pivot towards agile solutions that address immediate challenges, fostering a more efficient and adaptable path to progress. 8. Our focus is people, not stages. Our expertise is working with people, entrepreneurs. Ventures are a mix of human and structural capital. When ventures are born, they are 99% human and 1% structure, and when they are listed on Nasdaq NY they are 10% human and 90%+ structure. Our skill is working with humans to establish structure(s). Entrepreneur-led ventures that need help to transform human knowledge into structure are often early-stage, but not always. By focusing solely on early-stage ventures, we miss out on relevant investment opportunities. 9. Combining diverse perspectives usually results in higher decision quality. The best decisions often emerge when a diverse group of individuals with different perspectives compromise to find common ground. We have spent plenty of time reflecting on this topic, not only now, but continuously over the last five years. As an investor that is very active in early-stage innovation, we have always preached for and lived by the rule that you must be agile, ready to adapt as circumstances change, and look for opportunities in the moment. This rule of agility has become even more evident and important than we first thought. Over the next months, we look forward towards presenting how we implement the above lessons learned to become even more agile and opportunistic, while combining cash, expertise, and network in collaborative investments in our “phase 2” of venture development!

Scandic Go continues to expand – opening new hotel in Oulu in 2025

The new Scandic Go will have a strategic location in downtown Oulu with direct access to the main square, the historic market hall and many popular restaurants and shops in the heart of the city. Often referred to as the capital of northern Finland, Oulu is a hub for technology, science and education, appealing to domestic and international business travelers alike. The hotel market in the region is attractive and also draws leisure travelers interested in outdoor activities, festivals and cultural events during the summer months. More recently, tourism related to the Northern Lights and mountain activities has grown substantially, helping make the city a popular year-round destination. - It’s gratifying that we’re continuing to expand Scandic Go to key destinations where we see growth opportunities and increasing demand from business and leisure travelers. The hotel’s strategic location in the city center complements our existing portfolio and addresses the lack of hotels in the economy segment in the region, says Jens Mathiesen, President & CEO of Scandic Hotels Group. The economy segment of the hotel industry has grown rapidly in recent years and it is expected to expand further, driven by changed travel behavior and new financial constraints among many travelers. Scandic Go attracts guests with its good price, welcoming design, smooth self-service and breakfast and hot meals around the clock. - Oulu is the lifeblood for business and tourism in the region. The establishment is in line with our growth strategy in Finland, and by launching this new Scandic Go, we will strengthen our position in the region. We can also leverage market trends and fill a gap in a rapidly growing market. Together with SRV, we’re creating greater incentives to visit and explore northern Finland, says Laura Tarkka, Country Managing Director, Finland at Scandic Hotels. The property will be designed to target the requirements of LEED Platinum (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, the world’s most widely used green building rating system). The purpose of the certification is to provide an independent environmental assessment of the building for guests, society and other stakeholders. The certification system assesses several important sustainability aspects, such as biodiversity, water conservation, energy and resource efficiency and the ability of indoor spaces to provide good daylight, air and sound environments. The new hotel will also be certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, the official ecolabel of the Nordic countries, after it opens. - Together with Scandic, we are responding to the demand of Oulu's hotel market by developing the building into a central and important center for supporting tourism and business life. We are aiming that the hotel will be ready for Oulu's big events, such as the European Capital of Culture, says Hannu Lokka, Director of strategic project development of SRV. The opening will strengthen Scandic’s presence in the hotel market in Oulu, and after the opening of Scandic Go, the company will operate a total of three hotels with 565 rooms in the city.For more information, please contact:Oscar Brehmer, Communication Manager, Scandic Hotels GroupEmail: oscar.brehmer@scandichotels.comPhone: +46 721 709 297 Rasmus Blomqvist, Director Investor Relations, Scandic Hotels Group Email: rasmus.blomqvist@scandichotels.comPhone: +46 702 335 367 Heli Pulkkinen, Communications Specialist, SRVEmail: heli.pulkkkinen@srv.fiPhone: +358 504 110 787 Hannu Lokka, Director of strategic project development, SRVEmail: hannu.lokka@srv.fiPhone: +358 400 454 324 About Scandic Hotels GroupScandic is the largest hotel company in the Nordic countries with a network of about 280 hotels and 58,000 hotel rooms in operation and under development at more than 130 destinations.

Result of the private placement and the Board of Directors’ resolution to complete the share capital increase

Shape Robotics announced earlier this year that the company was pursuing a direct issuance in the range of DKK 30-35 million to finance growth and invest in the company's long-term strategy towards 2027. This strategy includes an ambition to achieve a turnover of DKK 1 billion and an EBITDA in the range of 12-15 percent. Following yesterday’s resolution to initiate a private placement of new shares, the Board of Directors of Shape Robotics A/S has, in a board meeting today, after having received subscription undertakings from a limited number of new and existing investors, both domestic and foreign, for all of the new shares offered, resolved to complete the private placement. The private placement was oversubscribed. The resolution implies that the share capital of Shape Robotics A/S will be increased with nom. DKK 101.165,30 by issuance of 1.011.653 new shares with a nominal value of DKK 0.10 each. The new shares have been subscribed for at market price as determined by the Board of Directors to DKK 35,00 per new share to be paid in cash. The new shares will be issued in the same share class as the existing shares and will thus carry the same rights pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Association. The total share capital of the Company after completion of the directed issue will amount to nominally DKK 1,506,617 divided into 15,066,170 shares with a nominal value of DKK 0.10 each, and with the same number of voting rights. The private placement will result in the Company receiving gross proceeds (before deduction of costs related to the issue) of DKK 35.407.750. Registration of the share capital increase will be made as soon as possible. Following registration, the updated Articles of Association will be made available on the Company's website https://shaperobotics.com. The new shares are expected to be admitted to trading and official listing Nasdaq Copenhagen under the Company’s permanent ISIN code (DK0061273125), on Friday, March 22, 2024.

Inside information: YIT has executed a substantial financing arrangement including equity and enhancements to existing loan terms, leading to an improvement in liquidity in excess of EUR 100 million

Inside information: YIT has executed a substantial financing arrangement including equity and enhancements to existing loan terms, leading to an improvement in liquidity in excess of EUR 100 million NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG, SOUTH AFRICA, SINGAPORE, NEW ZEALAND OR JAPAN OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR WOULD REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR ANY OTHER MEASURES. The financing arrangement comprises: a directed share issue of EUR 33.5 million at market price, an issue of EUR 36 million convertible notes due March 2029 with a coupon of 8% p.a. and a strike price of EUR 2.25 per share, and maturity extensions of the revolving credit facility (EUR 300 million) and the term loan (EUR 140 million) with other positive amendments to key loan terms including postponements of amortizations. Combined, the amendments to loan terms increase available liquidity by over EUR 30 million. YIT Corporation has concluded a substantial financing arrangement including new capital and enhancements to existing loan terms, together leading to an overall improvement in the company’s liquidity in excess of EUR 100 million. The capital raise of EUR 69.5 million consists of: · a directed share issue of 20,960,000 new shares in the company (EUR 33.5 million) to several institutional and professional investors who are predominantly existing shareholders in the company; and · an issue of EUR 36 million senior unsecured convertible notes due March 2029 with a coupon of 8% per annum and an initial conversion price of EUR 2.25 per share to some of the largest Finnish institutional investors. The company and its main lenders have also committed to make amendments to the company’s existing EUR 300 million revolving credit facility agreement and EUR 140 million term loan facility agreement, including the extension of the maturities until January 2026 with a pre-agreed conditional option for the company to extend the maturities until January 2027, as well as certain other positive amendments to key loan terms including postponements of amortizations which combined increase the available liquidity by over EUR 30 million. Comment from the CEO and President Heikki Vuorenmaa: “The news announced today reinforce our position as the largest and strongest player in Finland with a significant position in the Baltics and the CEE countries and ensure our ability to respond to upcoming opportunities especially in the Finnish housing market. The company’s more than EUR 800 million land bank and our skilled personnel will support the company's strengthening performance in the years to come. Overall, the year has started on a positive note with continued strong housing sales in Central Eastern Europe and a clear pick-up in the Baltics, anticipating continued strong performance for the year in these markets. This year, over 70% of our apartments will be completed in our international operations thus the good market conditions are key to the Group’s performance. The Finnish housing market has seen positive developments in terms of reservations, ongoing negotiations and completed transactions, although the overall market has remained weak. The market has received the 5-year, 2% interest rate cap campaign very well and consumers have understood its significant potential impact in improving housing affordability in the current interest rate environment through lowering the monthly cost of housing. Supported by this news, we will continue to work with determination to achieve the transformation program and the potential release actions of capital, as announced earlier on 20 June 2023.” The company expects to receive aggregate gross proceeds of approximately EUR 69.5 million from the issues, of which approximately EUR 33.5 million as a result of the share issue and approximately EUR 36 million as a result of the notes issue. The arrangement strengthens the company’s balance sheet and improves the company’s liquidity position, enabling YIT to retain its leading position in the Finnish and CEE construction markets. In market conditions characterised by scarcity of capital, the arrangement offers the company the foundation to take action and to tap select growth opportunities. “I am very pleased with this funding exceeding EUR 500 million in total. I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the stakeholders involved for their trust placed in the company. The transaction brings continued long-term support to our operative business and strategy implementation as we now have funding arranged for years to come. This package facilitates us to return to the debt capital markets when the market situation offers the opportunity” said Tuomas Mäkipeska, CFO, YIT. The company will also continue with its strategic review, announced on 20 June 2023 and updated in the Financial Statements Release on 9 February 2024, regarding certain assets and operations and selected investments. The company’s non-core asset disposals and capital release measures have successfully resulted in more than EUR 100 million cash generation to date. As previously communicated, the company is planning to use proceeds from asset disposals and capital release measures to redeem the EUR 100 million bond maturing in spring 2024. Details of the directed share issue The Board of Directors of the company resolved in its meeting today, 12 March 2024, to issue 20,960,000 new shares based on the authorisation granted to it by the Annual General Meeting of the company on 16 March 2023 and in deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription rights. The investors of the directed share issue include several long-only institutional and professional investors, predominantly existing shareholders of the company, such as Tercero Invest AB, Security Trading Oy, Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company, Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company, Elo Mutual Pension Insurance Company, Ahlstrom Invest B.V. and Conficap Oy. The Board of Directors has accepted the terms and conditions of the share issue and the subscriptions made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the share issue. The terms and conditions of the share issue are attached to this stock exchange release. The subscription price was at EUR 1.60 per share, reflecting the current market value determined based on 5-day volume-weighted average price, rounded to the nearest cent. The closing price of the company’s share was EUR 1.59 per share on 11 March 2023. The subscription price will be credited in full to the company’s reserve for invested unrestricted equity. There are weighty financial reasons for the company to deviate from shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription rights, as the share issue strengthens the company’s balance sheet, improves the company’s liquidity position, enables the execution of beneficial loan terms for the company, and provides equity on terms and timetable that, in the assessment of the Board of Directors, would otherwise not be available. The shares subscribed for in the share issue represent approximately 9.9 per cent of all of the company’s shares immediately prior to the share issue and approximately 9.0 per cent of all of the company’s shares following the share issue. After the shares subscribed in the share issue have been registered with the Finnish Trade Register, the total number of all registered shares in the company will be 232,059,853. The new shares are expected to be registered with the Finnish Trade Register on or about 12 March 2024 and to be ready for delivery to the investors against payment through Euroclear Finland Ltd on or about 14 March 2024. Trading in the new shares is expected to commence on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd on or about 14 March 2024. The shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing shares of the company once they have been registered with the Finnish Trade Register. Details of the convertible notes issue The Board of Directors of the company also resolved in its meeting today, 12 March 2024, to issue senior unsecured convertible notes due March 2029 with a total nominal amount of EUR 36 million. The notes will carry a coupon of 8.00 per cent per annum and are convertible into a maximum of 16,000,000 new shares in the company, the conversion being subject to the authorisation to the Board of Directors being given by the Annual General Meeting of the company to be held on 14 March 2024 to issue shares upon conversion of the notes. The investors of the notes issue include Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company, Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company, and Elo Mutual Pension Insurance Company. The initial conversion price has been set at EUR 2.25 per share, representing a conversion premium of approximately 40.6 per cent to the subscription price of the directed share issue. The conversion price will be subject to (a) certain customary adjustments in the event of specified corporate events, (b) adjustments for any dividend in cash or in kind, as well as (c) customary anti-dilution adjustments, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the notes. The notes will be issued at 100 per cent of the nominal amount and, unless previously converted, redeemed or purchased and cancelled, will be redeemed at 100 per cent of the nominal amount on the maturity date, being 19 March 2029. If an authorisation to issue shares would not be received from the company’s general meeting, the noteholders would be entitled to a cash settlement at a fair value of the underlying shares. The closing is expected to occur on or about 19 March 2024. The maximum number of the shares underlying the notes represent approximately 7.6 per cent of all of the company’s shares immediately prior to the share issue and the notes issue and approximately 6.9 per cent of all of the company’s shares following the share issue and the notes issue, subject to potential adjustments to the conversion price. The aggregate number of the shares issued in the share issue and the notes issue, provided that the maximum number of shares underlying the notes is issued, represent approximately 17.5 per cent of all of the company’s shares immediately prior to the share issue and the notes issue and approximately 15.9 per cent of all of the company’s shares following the share issue and the notes issue, subject to potential adjustments to the conversion price. Amendments to the existing facility agreements The company and its main lenders have also committed to make amendments to the company’s existing EUR 300 million revolving credit facility agreement and EUR 140 million term loan facility agreement. The amendments will include the extension of the maturities of both facilities to January 2026, with a pre-agreed conditional option to extend the maturities to January 2027. The amendments will also include that the company is allowed to increase the amount of debt secured by the security pool as well as positive changes to the company’s current financial covenants and their testing as disclosed on 21 November 2023. The facilities will include certain covenants as well as restrictions to distribute funds based on the company’s leverage ratio. The amended financing arrangement will allow operational and financial flexibility to execute the strategy and will continue to be secured by certain assets of the Group.

Year-end Report January - December 2023

OCT 1[ST ]– DEC 31[ST] 2023 · Net sales of EUR 4 538 thousand (EUR 6 805 thousand in Q4 2022) · EBITDA of EUR 848 thousand (589) and EBITDA margin of 18.7 percent (8.7%) · EBIT of EUR 791 thousand (528) and EBIT margin of 17 percent (7.8%) · Net earnings after tax of EUR 247 thousand (1 744) and net EAT margin of 5.4 percent (25.6%) Jan 1[ST] – DEC 31[ST] 2023 · Net sales of EUR 15 871 thousand (EUR 25 497 thousand in 2022) · EBITDA of EUR 2 006 thousand (1 020) and EBITDA margin of 12.6 percent (3.9%) · EBIT of EUR 1 842 thousand (603) and EBIT margin of 11.6 percent (2.4%) · Net earnings after tax of EUR 958 thousand (1 240) and net EAT margin of 6 percent (4.9%) October - December key developments · Focus on cashflow and streamlining of business operations · Approximately EUR 400 thousand amortization and settlement payments made in 23Q4 · Disruptions within the board of directors and management led to the Chairman stepping in as interim CEO in October · All Talkpool’s businesses performed well. The companies in Switzerland and Germany continued the positive trend. The business in Pakistan improved performance in Q4 after three poor quarters · Earnings continue to improve: EBITDA, EBIT and EAT (Earnings After Tax) · The process of selling our business in Pakistan has taken a very long time. A binding offer has been received but no agreement has been made and the outcome is still uncertain CEO Comments The company has during 2023 refocused its business on telecom network services while continuing the streamlining of its business. Operational performance improved and loans were reduced throughout 2023. Profit and Loss Accounts as well as Balance Sheets continued to strengthen and shrink during the calendar year 2023. For the first time in many years, the: · consolidated equity reached above zero · Swiss headquarters reached a net profit in 23Q4 and for the full year 2023 Income from operations covered all HQ overhead costs including listing costs in Stockholm and Frankfurt. The German fixed network planning operation continued to impress in the 4[th] quarter. In addition to the increasingly positive operational cashflow, the German business has received (mainly unused) bank credit lines amounting to a total of around EUR 900 thousand. A major shareholder (MW) that has sold a large amount of TALK shares over the market from 2021 until 2023, has sold his last Talkpool shares, so the downward trade sale pressure from that investor has ended. Traders in Frankfurt and Stockholm shied away from assisting Talkpool with launching a share buy-back scheme as they fear the regulator are likely to disapprove of purchases while the trading volumes are so low. Beginning of 2024 I’m filled with energy to take on any remaining challenges, trim our business further and prepare for a new dream. I believe this positive energy is starting to show results. The sales attempts of the Pakistani business continue to drag on. Although an agreement with a buyer still isn’t unlikely after receiving a binding offer and concluding Due Diligence, the delay in negotiations with interested buyers continues to be a major insecurity. A decision has been made to discontinue attempts to sell the Pakistani business if it hasn’t been sold by the end of March 2024. I’m very glad to announce that Erik Strömstedt has decided to stay with Talkpool as COO. Erik has been Talkpool’s CEO for over 20 years, so he knows the business and the telecoms industry very well. After I complete my interim period as CEO, I hope that Erik will resume as CEO of a quality-centric telecom network business. Preparations for the launch of a share options scheme are well underway and I hope to announce the launch in March 2024. We’ve started to develop a new strategy in Germany. After a German-centric strategy has been found, we will create a new overall growth strategy for Talkpool’s global business.

Sörensen, CEO Email: sten.sorensen@cerenoscientific.com Phone: +46 73-374 03 74 About Cereno Scientific AB Cereno Scientific develops innovative treatments for common and rare cardiovascular disease. The lead drug candidate, CS1, is a HDAC (histone deacetylase) inhibitor that acts as an epigenetic modulator with pressure-reducing, reverse-remodeling, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic and anti-thrombotic properties. A Phase II study is ongoing to evaluate CS1’s safety, tolerability, and efficacy in patients with the rare disease pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). A collaboration agreement with global healthcare company Abbott allows Cereno to use their cutting-edge technology CardioMEMS HF System in the study. Two initiatives performed during the ongoing Phase II study have shown positive findings suggesting the potential clinical benefit of CS1 in PAH patients. These initial findings are, however, not a guarantee of the final study results that are expected in Q3 2024. Since January 2024, CS1 has been available under FDA’s Expanded Access Program (“Compassionate Use”) for continued CS1 treatment in patients who have completed the Phase II study. Cereno also has two promising preclinical drug candidates in development through research collaborations with the University of Michigan. Investigational drug CS014 is a HDAC inhibitor in development as a treatment for arterial and venous thrombosis prevention. The innovative drug candidate represents a groundbreaking approach to antithrombotic treatment potentially without the associated increased risk of bleeding in humans. CS014 is a new chemical entity with a multi-fold mechanism of action as an epigenetic modulator – regulating platelet activity, fibrinolysis, and clot stability for the prevention of thrombosis without increased risk of bleeding as documented in preclinical studies. Drug candidate CS585 is a prostacyclin receptor agonist that has been documented in several preclinical studies to target the IP receptor for prevention of thrombosis without increased risk of bleeding, which also has been recognized in the medical community. CS585 was in-licensed from the University of Michigan in 2023. The company is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, and has a US subsidiary Cereno Scientific Inc. based in Kendall Square in Boston, Massachusetts, US. Cereno is listed on the Nasdaq First North (CRNO B).More information on www.cerenoscientific.com.

Nordic Paper decides to explore a potential sale of the Company in response to Shanying’s announced intention to divest its 48.16% stake

Nordic Paper Holding AB (publ) (“Nordic Paper” or the “Company”) has noted that Shanying International Holding Co., Ltd (“Shanying”) has announced that Shanying intends to sell all or part of its stake in Nordic Paper. It is further noted by the Company that the intentions are at an early stage and that there can be no guarantee that a sale will be achieved or at what terms, including price. Shanying, via its wholly owned subsidiary SUTRIV Holding AB, currently holds 48.16% of the outstanding shares in Nordic Paper. A sale of a part or all of Shanying’s stake to a third party may trigger the need for a mandatory tender offer for all shares in Nordic Paper. Given this situation, the Board of Directors of Nordic Paper has decided to initiate a process to explore potential interest from third parties for all shares in the Company. The purpose of the process is to seek the best possible value and outcome for all shareholders in Nordic Paper.  The process may ultimately result in a public tender offer for all outstanding shares in Nordic Paper where shareholders would have the choice of whether or not to accept the offer.

Voi, the leading micromobility operator in Europe, announced today that it has successfully raised $25 million in an oversubscribed financing round. Additionally, the company has secured additional debt financing for vehicles. The addition of new equity and debt funds will be used in scaling Voi's e-scooter and e-bike fleet, seizing the opportunity presented by growing consumer demand and the rapid consolidation in the industry. Existing shareholders, including VNV Global, Raine Group, Nineyards Equity, Balderton, Creandum, Project A, Stena, Black Ice Capital and others, including founders and employees, participated in the round. Their investment underscores continued high confidence in Voi's trajectory and strategy.  In conjunction with the round, approximately $85 million of convertible loan notes from 2021 have been converted to equity, further solidifying Voi’s financial position. Strong 2023 performance and European position The financing round follows a strong 2023 for Voi, with a record-breaking number of more than 68 million rides. During the year, the company also won notable tenders in prominent European cities such as London, Vienna, Oslo, Milan, and Marseille, cementing its position as the most trusted micromobility operator across the continent. Fredrik Hjelm, CEO of Voi, stated: “We had a strong 2023 where we continued to grow alongside improving margins on all levels. Over the past two years, our revenue has grown by nearly 50%, our gross profit has more than doubled, and we've reduced overhead costs by almost 50%. In 2023, we achieved our first quarter of positive EBIT at the group level, and we remain focused on our commitment to achieving full profitability and positive cash flow. We've seen remarkable efficiency gains and have a suite of products and operational processes ready for rollout to further accelerate that progress. Looking ahead, we see numerous promising opportunities as cities pivot from being car-centric to driving sustainable mobility, and consumers increasingly integrating micromobility into their daily routines. We are just getting started.” Investing in fleet expansion, safety, sustainability and efficiency With the new financing, Voi will expand its fleet in existing and new markets with its 3rd-generation e-bikes and 7th-generation e-scooters during spring 2024.  Furthermore, Voi will intensify its commitment to working towards its sustainability goals , including further improving its environmental impact, working with cities to increase sustainable mobility options, ensuring safety for its riders and other road users and continuing to be the most responsible operator with leading workplace practices.  Fredrik Hjelm, Voi’s CEO, said: · We are very pleased with the continued confidence in Voi shown in this financing round. With this, we will advance our mission to provide safe, sustainable and reliable micromobility for everyone. There is no doubt that micromobility is here to stay, and we will work closely with cities all over Europe to be the go-to micromobility operator. The micromobility industry is developing quickly with a maturing regulatory environment and improving margins, and the demand for our services continues to grow. That is a strong base to build an exceptional company, and we are committed to long-term collaboration with cities and public transport providers to realise our vision of cities made for living. Amidst the rapid consolidation in the European market, this financing puts us in a great place to expand. Per Brilioth, CEO of VNV Global, said: · We've been proud partners with Voi from the very beginning, and we continue to be impressed by the team's exceptional execution. Over the past few years, the team has transitioned from hypergrowth to sustainable growth, demonstrating industry-leading efficiency and a remarkable track record with both riders and cities. Voi continues to spearhead the transformation of mobility across Europe, and we're excited to participate in this funding that will take Voi to profitability. We look forward to continue supporting Fredrik and the team. Jason Schretter, head of EMEA for the Raine group, said: · Accelerating consumer and government adoption of micromobility is creating solutions to congestion and pollution challenges throughout Europe.  Voi's unwavering commitment to creating an exceptional and safe user experience while forging collaborative partnerships with cities has established the company as a clear industry leader.  We are excited to participate further in Voi’s journey as the team’s operating scale and efficiency capture the promise of the sector.

Source data can be shared with Greater Than via an API connection, requiring no additional technology. For existing customers, a simple activation is all that’s needed.   The globally unique pattern-based AI technology was showcased at the United Nations’ Climate Change Conference, COP28, in December 2023, when Greater Than joined its partner and global governing body for motor sports, the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), in the Blue Zone throughout the conference. In addition, Greater Than’s AI is endorsed by the Swedish Energy Agency, supported by the EU, and awarded by the WWF Climate Solver for its potential to influence global CO2 savings using the GHG protocol.   “Greater Than enables organizations to ‘see the future’ today and, with that, we’re proud that our globally recognized AI is supporting our stakeholders to launch their own solutions that predict companies’ impact on the planet,” added Liselott. “Reducing negative climate and societal activity has never been so important for businesses, and we’re committed to empowering our customers with AI-driven insights to fulfil the mobility aspect of global ESG reporting requirements and accelerate positive change.”   Greater Than’s ESG compliance solution is ideal for telematics companies, fleet management providers, motor insurance and mobility firms who want to help their customers meet ESG reporting obligations and achieve Net Zero commitments.   Visit www.greaterthan.eu  to learn more.

Decided allocation regarding incentive program LTIP 2024 and TO 2

At the extraordinary general meeting on February 20, 2024, it was decided to introduce the incentive program LTIP 2024 for personnel in Sweden within SyntheticMR AB (publ) (hereinafter referred to as the "Company"), as well as the possibility to subscribe to customary warrants of series TO 2. Furthermore, it was decided on TO 3 involving an opportunity for an employee in the USA to subscribe for warrants of series TO 3. LTIP 2024 gives employees of the Company the opportunity to subscribe for shares, with attached share rights, at the market value in a directed issue. The board of the Company has now decided on the allocation of the shares and warrants of series TO 2. LTIP 2024In accordance with the terms, the subscription price for shares in the directed issue has previously been set at SEK 25.04 per share. A total of 15 subscribers are allocated 37,500 shares in the Company. Through the directed issue, approximately SEK 0.9 million will be added to the Company. At the same time, 75,000 warrants are issued to the Company for safekeeping until the exercise period begins in three years. Time for payment regarding allocated shares lasts until March 27, 2024. TO 2In accordance with the conditions, the rate for subscribing to TO 2 was previously set at SEK 6.34 per warrant. Fixed price for use of TO 2 after three years amounts to SEK 28.80 per share. In total, 40,000 TO 2 in the Company were subscribed and the Company is thus infused with approximately SEK 0.25 million. Time for payment lasts until March 27, 2024. Provided that all TO 2 are used (in three years' time), the Company will receive an additional SEK 1.1 million. Number of shares and dilutionAs a result of LTIP 2024, the number of shares in the Company, after registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, will initially increase by 37,500 shares, to a total of 41,688,280 shares. The share capital increases at the same time by an initial SEK 832.5, to a total of SEK 925,479.816. After the end of the term in three years, the number of shares, upon full use of the warrants issued to the Company for technical reasons, can increase by an additional 75,000 shares, to a total 41,763,280 shares. At the same time, if these warrants are fully exercised, the share capital can increase by 1,665 SEK, to a total of 927,144.816 SEK. The total dilution as a result of LTIP 2024 thus amounts to approximately 0.27 percent of votes and capital. As a result of TO 2, the total number of shares in the Company, upon full use of all TO 2 after three years, can increase by an additional 40,000 shares, to a total of 41,803,280 shares. The share capital then increases at the same time by 888 SEK, to a total of 928,032.816 SEK. The total dilution as a result of TO 2 thus amounts to an additional 0.10 percent of votes and capital. All the figures stated above are calculated on the basis that warrants issued in connection with LTIP 2024 are fully used.

ReciBioPharm and GeneVentiv Therapeutics partner to advance first AAV-based gene therapy for haemophilia patients with inhibitors

ReciBioPharm , the advanced and emerging therapies business unit of Recipharm, has announced a collaboration agreement with GeneVentiv Therapeutics , a pre-clinical gene therapy company, to advance development of an Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV)-based universal gene therapy for haemophilia, and the first to treat haemophilia patients with inhibitors. On average 30 percent of people with haemophilia A and about 5 percent of people with haemophilia B will develop an inhibitor (an antibody) to the treatment they receive to manage a bleeding episode. The ReciBioPharm and GeneVentiv partnership will help address the currently unmet need for AAV-based gene therapies for haemophilia patients with inhibitors. GeneVentiv’s GENV-HEM (AAV8.FVa) is the first, single infusion, universal AAV-based gene therapy for all types of haemophilia and has demonstrated therapeutic efficacy and safety in preclinical studies. This collaboration will see ReciBioPharm accelerate the development of this technology using its cutting-edge AAV manufacturing platform. AAV therapy development is complex: the manufacturing process requires cost efficiencies, flexibility and speed to be built into every stage of the process to ensure crucial milestones are met. ReciBioPharm will utilise its AAV platform at its Watertown facility in Massachusetts, to advance GeneVentiv’s therapy from early stage pre-clinical to Phase I/II clinical studies. Xiaojun Liu, Director of AAV process development at ReciBioPharm said: “We are delighted to be working with GeneVentiv, an ambitious and innovative biotech who wanted to leverage not just our equipment and space, but our extensive knowledge and expertise too.” Damon Race, CEO of GeneVentiv Therapeutics said: “Gene therapies pose unique development and manufacturing challenges, so it was essential we chose the right partner to collaborate with, to minimise manufacturing risks and ensure we meet our key development milestones.”   “ReciBioPharm quickly demonstrated that their team is the perfect development and manufacturing partner for our asset, enabling us to access their extensive experience and impressive capabilities. Our collaboration with them provides us with GLP and GMP product to meet both our IND and Phase I/II milestones.”  About RecipharmRecipharm is a leading Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CDMO) in the pharmaceutical industry employing over 7,000 employees. Recipharm offers manufacturing services of pharmaceuticals and biologics in various dosage forms, production of clinical trial material and APIs, pharmaceutical product development and development and manufacturing of medical devices.

The company operates development and manufacturing facilities in France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the US and is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden For more information on Recipharm and our services, please visit www.recipharm.com About GeneVentiv TherapeuticsGeneVentiv Therapeutics is a pre-clinical gene therapy company focused on blood disorders. Our lead program, GENV-HEM (AAV8.FVa), is the only single infusion, universal, AAV-based gene therapy able to treat all types of haemophilia. Unlike other AAV-based haemophilia gene therapies, GENV-HEM is the only gene therapy able to treat the 33% of haemophilia patients with neutralising antibodies (inhibitors) to their missing clotting factor. There are 50,000 inhibitor patients in the developed world. GENV-HEM has received Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA for Haemophilia A and B with or without inhibitors and a Letter of Support from the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation.  Contact informationRecipharm Media contactFiona Whyatt, ramarketing PRfiona.whyatt@ramarketingpr.com+44 (0)191 222 1242

Tele2 and foodora in revolutionary collaboration – connected drones deliver food from the sky to the doorstep

Now launching foodora Air, which is a fleet of electric drones that, with the help of 5G technology from Tele2, will provide fast and efficient delivery service of food from a number of restaurants on Värmdö, outside Stockholm. Aerit, a technology leader in the drone industry, has developed advanced drones integrated into foodora's technology platform to create a seamless and efficient delivery experience connected with the latest 5G technology from Tele2. "This marks a new era in how people receive deliveries, and we believe we can see more applications in other industries. For us at Tele2, the partnership with foodora is a perfect example of how we can use our 5G connectivity and expertise to drive future delivery services in a simple, sustainable, and smart way, while providing customers with an extraordinary experience," says Stefan Trampus, Executive Vice President B2B at Tele2. The drones have a range of 21 kilometers and emit 2 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer, which can be compared to traditional gasoline or diesel-powered delivery vehicles that emit 143 and 110 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer, respectively. “Technology and connectivity have the potential to break many of the limitations that currently exist in rural areas, where access to various services and products has decreased in line with rapid urbanization," Stefan Trampus concludes. Deliveries will, where possible, be made directly to customers' properties or gardens and lowered with a cable from the air. Deliveries will commence in May on Värmdö, and food can be ordered through the foodora app. The goal is to expand to more areas in Sweden so that more locations can have access to the same service available in major cities. "We are proud to be the first in Europe to launch real drone deliveries, and we are excited to have Tele2 and Aerit as partners on this exciting journey. Fast home deliveries are a democratic issue, in my opinion. Regardless of where you are in the country, it should be possible to quickly get what you need, such as medicines or groceries. It should not only be available to people who have chosen to settle in big cities," concludes Daniel Gustafsson Raba, Director Operations at foodora. Tele2 will provide continuous connectivity for the drones based on 5G IoT (Internet of Things) technology. Drones require both short response times and the ability to send and receive large amounts of data to handle deliveries safely, supported by 5G. Technical information foodora Air: Maximum range: 21 kilometers Maximum delivery range: 12 kilometers Maximum delivery weight: 4 kilograms Weather capacity: Can fly in rain, wind, and snow For more information, please contact: Fredrik Hallstan, Head of External Communications Phone: +46761 15 38 30 Stefan Billing, Head of Investor Relations, Phone: +46701 66 33 10

The Benefits of Artificial Grass

Artificial grass is becoming more and more popular in modern gardens, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. Compared to regular grass, artificial grass requires very little maintenance, making it a brilliant option for modern homes. It's a great investment which lasts for a very long time. In addition to these reasons, there are many other reasons why artificial great is beneficial. [A close-up of a blue roll of grass Description automatically generated] Gardening expert, Fiona Jenkins at MyJobQuote.co.uk  has created this guide, providing you with all the benefits of artificial grass. Fiona also provides her tips on how to style artificial grass and how to maintain your new artificial lawn. So, if you’re considering installing an artificial lawn at your home, take a look at the guide below to find out everything you need to know about your new investment. What Are The Benefits of Artificial Grass? There are several benefits to installing artificial grass. Below is a list of the benefits of laying artificial grass on your property: · It maintains its aesthetically pleasing look all year round, no matter the weather · It doesn’t require much maintenance · You will have more time to enjoy your garden without worrying about mowing · Reduces pollution caused by lawnmowers · Reduces water usage as it doesn’t need to be watered · It can’t be dug up or spoiled by pets · It can work out cheaper over time as real grass requires constant maintenance · It stays green all year round · You can choose your colour, pile, length, texture, yarn, and density, and completely customise it to how you want · It dries quicker than normal grass · It is child-friendly, mess-free, and soft · It’s more weed-resistant than normal grass · Due to the materials, it stays pest-free · It’s highly durable As you can see, there are many reasons why laying artificial grass at your home is a great idea. How Do You Maintain Artificial Grass? Artificial grass is very easy to maintain. However, it’s a good idea to keep on top of keeping it clean so that it’s always looking its best. [A hand on a grass Description automatically generated] How Do You Clean Artificial Grass? When maintaining your artificial grass , there are several things you can do to keep it looking great. One of the most important things you should do is give it a good brush to get rid of any debris. Also, a quick go-over with the hose can keep it looking fresh. Some simple spot cleans on the areas that need it most can help, too. You can wipe these areas with a damp sponge as and when needed. Brushing your artificial grass with a stiff broom can help keep the pile looking perky and prevent the build-up of debris. If you allow debris to build up, this could result in moss growth, so it's important to brush the area regularly. It’s best to brush and rinse your artificial lawn roughly once each week to keep it looking great. You can use washing up liquid on artificial grass if you want to give it a good and proper clean. However, you should never use harsh chemicals on artificial grass as this could damage the plastic. You can pressure wash your artificial lawn. However, you must have it in the right setting to avoid damaging the grass blades. When pressure washing your artificial lawn, use a wide-angled tip and always keep the wand at least a foot away from the surface to prevent damage. Artificial Grass Ideas Artificial grass can really improve the overall look of your garden. There are many amazing things that you can do with artificial grass to completely transform the aesthetic of your garden. Below is a list of some artificial grass ideas to help you elevate your garden. Flowerbed Features Flowerbeds are a great addition to your artificial grass garden. It’s great to have a complete lawn garden. However, it may look a bit boring to have only grass and nothing else in your garden. You may wish to use flowerbeds as a border for your lawn, or you could even incorporate flowerbeds to separate certain areas of the lawn. Adding flowers to the garden has a lot of benefits, including attracting insects and animals, adding scents and colours, and adding authenticity to the garden. Adding Pathways You can create a magical journey through your garden with the use of pathways or stepping stones within your artificial lawn. This is also great for the lawn as it minimises the footfall on the artificial grass, allowing it to last much longer. Not only that, but pathways can also help to add some character to the garden, providing it with a unique aesthetic. Children’s Play Area If you have children, you may want to install a section of artificial grass which acts as a dedicated children’s play area. Regular grass can easily become ruined or ripped by children running around and playing. The incorporation of artificial grass will prevent the possibility of your lawn looking untidy. Raised Levels A great way to improve the aesthetic appeal of your garden and make it look unique is to add some raised levels. You can install steps and create some different levels with artificial grass along as well as other features to create an exciting and magical space that you, your guests and your family can all enjoy.

Nel ASA: Receives additional USD 75 million in support for Michigan facility

“The support from the Department of Energy and the state of Michigan is crucial for realizing our factory, which will create new green industrial jobs and be a significant contribution to the energy transition,” says Nel’s President and CEO, Håkon Volldal. “It is encouraging to see the Department of Energy taking these strategic steps to stimulate a clean energy economy, and we appreciate their long-time support to take our products from R&D to commercial products,” he says. On 13 March, the Department of Energy announced that they have granted Nel USD 50 million in direct investment support for the company’s planned new US gigafactory and workforce development initiatives in the Detroit region. Partnering with General Motors, Macomb Community College, Wayne State University’s College of Engineering, and others, DOE’s investment will further enhance domestic electrolyser manufacturing production capacity while building a robust clean hydrogen value chain and an industrialized manufacturing training program. In parallel, the state of Michigan awarded USD 25 million in direct investment support to lead the nation in the clean energy transition. “By harnessing our Make it in Michigan Competitiveness Fund and partnering with the Biden-Harris Administration, we are creating more than 500 good-paying, high-tech jobs in Plymouth,” says Governor Whitmer. “Today’s investment in Nel Hydrogen will create a hydrogen production facility and ensure we stay on the cutting-edge of clean energy production and advanced manufacturing. Let’s keep working together to bring jobs and projects home as we grow our economy and deliver for Michigan families.” “Today’s announcement is another example of how Michigan is leading America’s technology and clean energy future,” says Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II. “Because of a matching investment from the Michigan Competitiveness Fund, this federal grant will enable our partners to create more than 500 good-paying, high-tech jobs in Plymouth. Governor Whitmer and I will keep working to create jobs and win projects that will grow our economy and help more people ‘make it’ in Michigan.” Nel has previously been awarded approximately USD 50 million from the state of Michigan in support of this electrolyser production facility (see the press release issued on 8 July 2023). Total support from federal and state authorities amounts to approximately USD 125 million.   Fully built out, the Michigan site is expected to have an annual nameplate production capacity of 4 GW. In the planned new facility, Nel will manufacture its next-generation electrolyser technologies: the PEM stacks currently being developed together with General Motors, and pressurized alkaline stacks.     A final investment decision has not yet been made and depends on market demand for electrolysers.  ENDS For additional information, please contact: Kjell Christian Bjørnsen, CFO, +47 917 02 097 Lars Nermoen, Head of Communications, +47 902 40 153 About Nel ASA | www.nelhydrogen.com Nel has a history tracing back to 1927 and is today a leading pure play hydrogen technology company with a global presence.

Inside information: Spinnova updates its strategy and targets - focus on technology sales

SPINNOVA PLC, COMPANY RELEASE, INSIDE INFORMATION, 14 March 2024, 08:00 a.m. EET Inside information: Spinnova updates its strategy and targets - focus on technology sales Spinnova updates its strategy and will prioritise focus areas and activities that in the short- to medium-term are expected to deliver the fastest time to positive cashflow generation and that are expected to create the most value for the company’s stakeholders. Updated strategy Technology sales Spinnova focuses on technology sales and delivering the technology together with its partners, which is expected to be the fastest way to ramping up production capacity of SPINNOVA® fibre. Technology sales will be targeted at where it creates the most value, with upstream raw material partnersor downstream textile manufacturers. The value of the Spinnova technology to technology sales customers will be magnified by a strong focus on technology development and adoption of the fibre in the textile industry. Technology development Spinnova continues its development efforts on advancing the use of various raw materials while reducing production cost and CAPEX per tonne. Fibre market development Spinnova continues to see a clear market need for new natural feeling and sustainable fibres and is confident its technology can offer a solution. SPINNOVA® fibre is a novel fibre which we are developing into a mass-market product. Spinnova will participate in market development to promote fibre adoption in the value chain together with retail brands and their supply chain partners. Spinnova has an ingredient brand strategy whereby Spinnova manages the visibility of the SPINNOVA® logo in the end products using SPINNOVA® fibre, creating value for Spinnova’s technology customers. Focus on cash generation Spinnova’s updated strategy aims to lead to positive cash flows and EBIT without the need for additional funding. The cash runway is expected to be lengthened through a cost-savings program, including aligning the organization to ensure effective strategy execution. Spinnova’s updated strategy is already being implemented through the Letter of Intent (LOI) signed together with Suzano, regarding the plans of the next wood-based production factory. According to the LOI, Suzano plans on owning and operating the next wood-based fibre production factory on its own site. Spinnova will provide the technology together with its partners to Suzano. The opportunity to invest in future plants remains at Spinnova’s discretion. Our ambition to scale SPINNOVA® fibre to 1 million tonnes of annual production capacity remains. In 2024, Spinnova’s focus areas and priorities are: · Fibre development to an industrial level through product validation together with retail brand partners and supply chain partners · Sufficient industry adoption for the fibre · First technology sale outside of the existing Joint Ventures · Development of non-wood technology sales projects · Cost savings program Updated strategy targets +----------+------------------+--------+-----------------+| |Short term |Medium |Long term || | |term | || |(2025-2026) | |(2034-2036) || | |(2028 | || | |-2030) | |+----------+------------------+--------+-----------------+|Cumulative|30k tonnes |130k |450k tonnes ||technology| |tonnes | ||sales* | | | |+----------+------------------+--------+-----------------+|Financial |No additional |EBIT |More than EUR 100|| |external financing|positive|million EBIT per || |required | |year || | | | || | | |More than 30% of || | | |revenues || | | |recurring** |+----------+------------------+--------+-----------------+ *Total cumulative annual fibre production capacity committed to be built by Spinnova technology customers or by Spinnova through own investments ** Royalty and service fees As Spinnova is implementing its technology sales strategy and does not plan to make its own investment into fibre production in the short to medium term, Spinnova does not expect to need additional external financing in order to reach its strategy targets. Upside potential to Spinnova’s strategy targets is expected to be driven by acceleration of the timing of investment decisions for new plants by our technology customers, increased adoption of sustainable materials by consumers and brands, further regulation of raw materials in the textile industry and faster than anticipated ramp up of alternative raw material pulp suppliers. Downside potential to Spinnova’s strategy targets may include potential delays to investment decisions by our technology customers, potential delays to delivery of our technology projects to customers, slower than anticipated development of reductions in capex or opex per tonne of Spinnova’s technology, and slower than expected development of SPINNOVA® fibre properties which would reduce the size of the addressable fibre market for our technology customers. Spinnova will present the updated strategy and targets in its Capital Markets Day on 14 March 2024 at 14-approx. 17 (EET).

Impero A/S releases Annual Report 2024: Realizes 34% growth in Annual Recurring Revenue in 2023 and improves free cash flow to net-new ARR ratio from negative 3.4 to negative 1.6

Company Announcement No. 3-2024 Copenhagen, 14 March 2024 Annual Report for the period 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. SaaS metrics and financial highlights on 31 December 2023  · ARR increased by 34% to DKK 30.4M at the end of 2023 · Revenue for the year increased to DKK 27.6M, corresponding to growth of 39% compared to 2022 · Free cash flow to net-new ARR ratio of -1.6 improving from -3.4 at year-end 2022 · Churn of 6%, compared to 1% for the 12-month period ending 31 December 2022 · Uplift increased to 17%, from 16% for the 12-month period ending 31 December 2022 · Net Revenue Retention (NRR) of 111%, compared to 115% in 2022 · Average ARR per customer (ARPA) increased to DKK 190T from DKK 170T at the end of 2022 · EBITDA for the year amounted to DKK -10.6M, compared to DKK -17.1M in 2022 · In Q4 2023 net ARR grew DKK 2.2M, same level as in Q4 2022 Development of the business Set against the backdrop of a challenging market for Danish b2b SaaS companies, we are pleased to deliver more than DKK 30M in ARR for the first time. This included a strong uplift of 17% from our existing customers, which continue expanding use across their organization and various compliance domains. For the first time since our formation, markets outside Denmark now make up more than half Impero’s ARR. The total addressable market available in Denmark and the DACH region remains substantial, and our partnerships add to Impero's use cases. Our 2023 results show that our land-and expand strategy continues to deliver and is a strong foundation on which we can grow the business. Key wins in 2023 included welcoming 38 new customers, 20 in the Danish market, 13 in the DACH region, and five in other parts of Northwestern Europe, including landing our first customers in the Swedish market. In particular, we were excited to welcome some large and respected consumer brands, including BAUHAUS in Scandinavia and Iceland, and Royal Unibrew. This was complemented by several blue-chip DACH market brands, including Deutsche Bahn, a large German bank, and an additional German automotive brand, among many others. To provide more organizations with the opportunity to simplify compliance processes, Impero has embarked on the development of templated solutions with ready-made content provided by partners in the Danish and DACH markets. These solutions build on successful implementations with our partners and form the basis for faster onboarding of customers. The templates include Tax CMS provided in partnership with KPMG Germany, as well as a Month-End Closing solution for the Danish market delivered in partnership with Basico, and a solution for the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in partnership with KPMG Denmark. Impero has initiated the implementation of a Marketplace with a range of templated solutions to build upon our core offering and continue to simplify and scale the breadth of use cases. As the finance area within organizations continues to expand its responsibility for non-financial reporting, particularly for ESG, Impero remains a natural fit for enterprises subject to new non-financial reporting requirements. At the core of our ability to attract and retain customers and keep churn low is a deeply customer-centric product development philosophy that prioritizes enhancements and new functionality that will deliver the most impact to the largest cohort of customers and enable us to continue to attract new business. Based on current customer relationships, Impero believes there is a vast potential in supporting corporations subject to SOX compliance, as well as good compliance practices in general through improved functionalities. We therefore continue investing in features enabling customers to embrace a wider range of the ever-evolving compliance challenges such as Control Testing, supporting the third line of defense. New Chief Technology Officer Following the decision of our Chief Technology Officer and Executive Board Member Allan Lykke Christensen to step down in February 2024, we are very pleased to welcome David Højelsen as our Chief Technology Officer, starting in March. David brings a wealth of experience as entrepreneur, investor and from product leadership roles in scaling fast-growing SaaS companies. We are grateful for Allan's three years of product leadership at Impero and are at the same time excited to welcome David to the leadership team. Strategic direction 2026 – Increasing the impact With our current capital foundation, we are aiming to at least double our customer base and become cash flow positive on a recurring basis before the end of 2026. Should strategic opportunities arise that can lead to excess growth, the strategic direction, the investment levels, and capital needs will be reassessed by the Board of Directors. Rikke Stampe Skov, CEO: “Trustworthy organizations are worth working for, buying from, selling to, collaborating with, and investing in. If one part of any organization loses trust, the rest suffers. That is the driving force behind our continued focus on helping more organizations embrace compliance. The more widespread the use of Impero, the bigger the impact.” Read the Strategic direction in full in the Report. Outlook 2024 Based on the Live ARR methodology, Impero expects ARR in the range of DKK 38M to 42M by the end of 2024, with ARR at the end of 2023 being DKK 30.4M. The outlook corresponds to growth rates between 25% and 38%. Impero will invest in scaling the organization to ensure long-term ARR growth and at the same time focus on lowering the cash-burn from ordinary activities. We expect EBITDA for 2024 to be in the range DKK -11M to -9M. The expectations for the above are based on assumptions that the company can retain and attract partners as well as commercial and technical profiles to expand and develop the platform. Furthermore, the timing of revenue recognition for new customers is essential in relation to the outlook. The company’s pipeline proves that the demand for Impero’s offerings is intact and that continuous investments in product development as well as commercial expansion add value for Impero’s customers and shareholders. Dealing with global customers, Impero is also exposed to the macroeconomic environment and geopolitical situation, where increased uncertainty and fluctuating interest rates may lead to longer sales cycles and potentially lead to higher churn. The outlook is dependent on no further aggravation of the macroeconomic and geopolitical instability observed.

Wärtsilä Lifecycle Agreement to support optimised low-emission operations for two P&O Ferries vessels

Technology group Wärtsilä has signed a Lifecycle Agreement  with UK-based P&O Ferries. The five-year agreement covers two vessels, the M/V Pioneer and the M/V Liberté, and is designed to optimise and ensure minimal impact on their operations, while providing maintenance cost predictability. The order was booked by Wärtsilä in January 2024. Ferries have a huge role to play in meeting the growing demand for environmentally sustainable transport options. That’s why it is especially crucial for ferry operations to run smoothly and efficiently, in order to avoid unnecessary costs, fuel consumption and emissions. The scope of the Lifecycle Agreement with P&O Ferries includes parts and maintenance services, as well as maintenance planning, operational support and Wärtsilä’s unique Expert Insight  predictive maintenance service. This means issues can be identified before they cause a delay in the schedule. Delays are a big pain point for ferry operators because delays mean they need to make up the time through increasing speed which, consequently, results in higher fuel bills and emissions. “We are focused on making P&O Ferries the best ferry company in Europe and this includes doing everything possible to reduce our carbon footprint and protect the environment,” says Stephen Pitt, Senior Procurement Manager, P&O Ferries. “The ability to leverage Wärtsilä’s advanced digital solutions is central to this – helping us to improve vessel uptime, save fuel and decrease emissions.” Both vessels feature hybrid propulsion with battery power and four high-efficiency Wärtsilä 31 main engines . They are expected to produce 40 percent fewer emissions than the ships they replace. By ensuring their optimal performance, the agreement will further enhance the ships’ environmental sustainability. “Wärtsilä shares P&O Ferries’ commitment to decarbonising shipping operations. We are, therefore, extremely pleased to support these two environmentally friendly ferries by optimising their operational performance. The Lifecycle Agreement represents a partnership for highest operational efficiency, and the experts supported by digitals tools to ensure minimal interruption, as well as reliable and sustainable operations,” comments Lee Martindale, General Manager, Sales for UK & Ireland, Wärtsilä. The M/V Pioneer commenced commercial operations in June 2023, while the M/V Liberté is scheduled to enter service in early 2024. The 230-metre long ships are the world’s largest double-ended ferries, and sail between Dover, England and Calais, France.

The backing from IPCEI is crucial in reaching this goal. Solid and supportive regulatory frameworks are indispensable to build the required momentum for a lithium-ion battery ecosystem in Norway and Europe,” says Burkhard Straube, CEO of Vianode.Vianode is targeting to produce high-performance anode graphite solutions for 3 million EVs annually by 2030 across Europe and North America. The company started small-scale production of synthetic anode graphite in 2021 and currently has operations at its pilot plant and technology center in Kristiansand, Norway. The Herøya plant is on track for start-up in the second half of 2024. Anode graphite is the largest component of a lithium-ion battery in terms of weight, up to 70 kilos per battery cell, and a key element regardless of battery technology. Vianode’s solution contributes to a 90% reduction in CO2 footprint compared to conventional production, a 40% reduction in energy use and substantially reduced supplementary material consumption, local emissions, land use and water consumption. IPCEI EUBatin is the second part of a two-stage IPCEI program seeking to drive industrialisation across the battery value chain. The battery IPCEI programs include public support of EUR 6 billion which is expected to trigger around EUR 14 billion in additional private investments.

Home Dialysis Risk Prevention Act addressed in House Committee on Ways and Means Hearing

On March 12, 2024, the House Committee on Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08) held a Hearing to examine opportunities and challenges in enhancing access to care in patients´ home and modernizing care in rural and underserved communities. The Hearing was titled, “Enhancing Access to Care at Home in Rural and Underserved Communities.” and during the Hearing Rep. Adrian Smith (NE-03) made the following remarks: “Thank you to all our witnesses for joining us today to talk about this important topic. It is amazing to see how new technologies have expanded the boundaries of access to health care. Every day we see new devices which allow services that could previously only be performed in the hospital to be accessed from home.  Even though telehealth has made it easier than ever for patients to connect with their providers, it is innovation in medical devices that has most dramatically expanded the ability of patients to safely receive care in their homes.” “But lack of adequate Medicare coverage can often create roadblocks to adoption of new technologies that expand safe home access to care. That’s why I introduced the Home Dialysis Risk Prevention Act (H.R.3118), which would reduce the risk home hemodialysis patients face of serious complications from venous needle dislodgement. This legislation would ensure adequate Medicare reimbursement for the sensors and alarms that can detect when the blood return needle slips loose, putting a patient at risk of serious blood loss or death. “I hope today’s conversation leads to further legislative action on removing outdated regulatory and statutory barriers to accessing these new and revolutionary technologies for greater access to care in our homes.” The Home Hemodialysis Risk Prevention Act (H.R. 3118) is a bipartisan legislation which aims to provide Medicare coverage for blood loss monitoring and detection devices. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Adrian Smith (R-NE) and Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM). ”We are very pleased that US House of Representatives is addressing patient safety for hemodialysis at home with this this important legislation. This is in line with Redsense’s focus to provide increased patient safety for home hemodialysis. We look forward to the advancement of this bill.” says Pontus Nobréus, CEO of Redsense Medical.

Election of chairperson of the meeting The Nomination Committee proposes Fredrik Brusberg, associate at MAQS Advokatbyrå, or, in the event of an impediment, the person appointed by the Nomination Committee to be elected as the chairperson of the Annual General Meeting. Determination of the number of directors, deputies, and auditors The Nomination Committee proposes that five board members and no deputy board members be appointed for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting. Furthermore, it is proposed that one auditor be appointed until the end of the next Annual General Meeting. Determination of the fees payable to the directors and the auditors The Nomination Committee proposes that the fee paid to the directors for the period from the present Annual General Meeting until the end of the next Annual General Meeting be distributed as follows (previous year’s figures in brackets): fee of five (three) price base amounts to each of the directors who are not employed by the Company (does not include persons who are members of the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board) and ten (nine) price base amounts to the chairman of the Board of Directors.

If the Board of Directors within itself chooses to set up committees, it is proposed that no fee should be paid to these since the committees in such case will consist of the Board of Directors.

Election of the Board of Directors, auditors, and any deputy auditors The Nomination Committee proposes re-election of the board members Anders Svensson, Joakim Söderström, and Jeppe Øvlesen as well as new election of the board members Gunnar Olsson and Sten R.

Frejs Revisorer AB has informed that in the event it is re-elected, Mikael Glimstedt will continue in his capacity as principal auditor. Resolution regarding determination of principles for the Nomination Committee The Nomination Committee proposes the following principles for the Nomination Committee (which correspond to the principles adopted at the previous Annual General Meeting except for (i) the principals according to which the Nomination Committee shall be appointed and (ii) the record date for determining the largest shareholder or shareholder group): The Nomination Committee shall be appointed according to the following principles. The Company’s largest shareholder, or group of shareholders, as of 30 April 2024, shall have the right to appoint one member of the Nomination Committee. Furthermore, the Nomination Committee shall consist of the chairman of the Board of Directors, who shall also be the convener. In addition, Björn Dahlöf, CSO and Head of Clinical Development in the Company, shall be a member of the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee shall thus consist of three persons. One of the members, but not the chairman of the Board of Directors, shall be appointed as chairman of the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee’s term of office extends until a new Nomination Committee is appointed. No compensation shall be paid to the members of the Nomination Committee. However, the Nomination Committee shall have the right to charge the Company with reasonable cost for evaluations, investigations, recruitment, and travels in connection with its work for the Nomination Committee.

If a member of the Nominations Committee resigns prior to completion of the work, and if the Nominations Committee deems that there is a need to replace the member, the Nominations Committee shall appoint a new member; primarily a member nominated by the shareholder which nominated the resigning member, under the condition that the shareholder remains the largest shareholder, or group of shareholders in the Company. If any shareholder, who is asked by the Nomination Committee to propose a member, refrains from submitting a proposal, the Nomination Committee shall ask the next shareholder in order of size (as of 30 April 2024) who has not previously nominated a member to the Nomination Committee. Changes in the Nominations Committee’s composition shall be communicated by the chairman of the Nominations Committee to the chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors as soon as possible.

Sörensen, CEO Email: sten.sorensen@cerenoscientific.com Phone: +46 73-374 03 74 About Cereno Scientific AB Cereno Scientific develops innovative treatments for common and rare cardiovascular disease. The lead drug candidate, CS1, is a HDAC (histone deacetylase) inhibitor that acts as an epigenetic modulator with pressure-reducing, reverse-remodeling, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic and anti-thrombotic properties. A Phase II study is ongoing to evaluate CS1’s safety, tolerability, and efficacy in patients with the rare disease pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). A collaboration agreement with global healthcare company Abbott allows Cereno to use their cutting-edge technology CardioMEMS HF System in the study. Two initiatives performed during the ongoing Phase II study have shown positive findings suggesting the potential clinical benefit of CS1 in PAH patients. These initial findings are, however, not a guarantee of the final study results that are expected in Q3 2024. Since January 2024, we are delighted that the FDA´s Expanded Access Program will enable patients with PAH, a serious life-threatening disease condition, to gain access to CS1 where no comparable alternative therapy options are available. Cereno also has two promising preclinical drug candidates in development through research collaborations with the University of Michigan. Investigational drug CS014 is a HDAC inhibitor in development as a treatment for arterial and venous thrombosis prevention. The innovative drug candidate represents a groundbreaking approach to antithrombotic treatment potentially without the associated increased risk of bleeding in humans. CS014 is a new chemical entity with a multi-fold mechanism of action as an epigenetic modulator – regulating platelet activity, fibrinolysis, and clot stability for the prevention of thrombosis without increased risk of bleeding as documented in preclinical studies. Drug candidate CS585 is a prostacyclin receptor agonist that has been documented in several preclinical studies to target the IP receptor for prevention of thrombosis without increased risk of bleeding, which also has been recognized in the medical community. CS585 was in-licensed from the University of Michigan in 2023. The company is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, and has a US subsidiary Cereno Scientific Inc. based in Kendall Square in Boston, Massachusetts, US. Cereno is listed on the Nasdaq First North (CRNO B).More information on www.cerenoscientific.com.

Safello launches new crypto trading feature with a 0.49 percent fee

Stockholm, 15 March, 2024 | Safello, the leading cryptocurrency exchange in the Nordics, is launching a new feature for trading between cryptocurrencies. The feature, called “swapping”, allows users to exchange ("swap") one cryptocurrency for another directly in the mobile application, without the need to involve fiat currencies (regular money) in the transaction. Swapping creates a smoother user experience with greater flexibility. Safello's customers will benefit from the service as it improves the trading experience and makes it easy to smoothly enter and exit their crypto positions at all times. The ability to trade between cryptocurrencies enables investors to quickly reallocate their crypto portfolios dynamically. The procedure of having to exchange crypto to SEK or EUR before a cryptocurrency transaction can be carried out is eliminated, which contributes to increased flexibility. Moreover, swapping enables a lower trading fee, which Safello is introducing with the launch of swapping. The price for swapping transactions on Safello's platform is a fixed fee of 0.99 percent of the transaction amount. In connection with the launch, Safello is offering a fee of 0.49 percent for the first three months. "Enabling swapping between cryptocurrencies is a step to enhance the product and customer experience for our broad user base. Cryptocurrencies are traded globally, around the clock, and throughout the year, which is unique compared to products traded on the stock exchange, and we want our customers to be able to benefit from this at Safello. We are happy to launch this feature with a  market-leading price for this type of transaction, for our users to benefit from," says Emelie Moritz, CEO of Safello. The trading pairs currently offered for swapping on Safello are: ALGO-BTC, BTC-USDC, ETH-BTC, ETH-USDC, LINK-BTC, and UNI-BTC. More trading pairs will be added on an ongoing basis. Initially, swapping will only be available in the mobile application. ### For more information, please contactChristian Ploog, press@safello.com Certified AdviserAmudova AB is Safello’s certified adviser.

Lundbeck’s potential first-in-class therapy for migraine prevention enters advanced clinical stage

H. Lundbeck A/S (Lundbeck) announced the advancement of the clinical development of Lu AG09222 for migraine prevention with the initiation of PROCEED, a randomized, double-blind, phase IIb, dose-finding trial to assess efficacy and safety of multiple subcutaneously administered doses. The PROCEED trial builds on the positive results of the HOPE phase IIa Proof-of-Concept trial demonstrating efficacy of intravenously administered Lu AG09222 in migraine prevention. Lu AG09222 is an investigational monoclonal antibody (mAb) with an innovative mode of action. It is designed to bind and inhibit signaling mediated by pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP); a neuropeptide that is implicated in migraine pathophysiology. Lu AG09222 may offer a potential treatment option in a new treatment class for people with migraine. It is directed at a migraine pathway that is distinct from the pathway targeted by the recently introduced anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (anti-CGRP) treatment approach. “Initiation of this phase IIb trial of Lu AG09222 further progresses our neurology pipeline and emphasizes Lundbeck’s commitment to people living with migraine and headache-related disorders. The diverse nature of the disease highlights the need for exploring novel therapeutic approaches that can address unmet needs. Lu AG09222 has a good chance of being first-in-class with this interesting mechanism,” said Johan Luthman, EVP, and Head of Research & Development at Lundbeck. About the PROCEED migraine trialPROCEED is an interventional, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, dose-finding phase IIb trial that will be conducted in Europe, Japan and the US. It assesses four different doses of Lu AG09222 versus placebo, administered subcutaneously once monthly for three months. The trial is intended to establish the optimal dose for future global pivotal trials designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of Lu AG09222 as a migraine preventive treatment. PROCEED is planned to enroll approximately 498 patients and will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Lu AG09222. The target population for this trial is defined as patients diagnosed with migraine as outlined in the International Classification of Headache Disorders Third Edition (ICHD-3)[i] and with treatment failure of 2-4 different preventive migraine medications in the past 10 years. Study completion is expected in H2 2025. About Lu AG09222Lundbeck is developing Lu AG09222, an investigational monoclonal antibody (mAb) designed to bind and inhibit pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP)[ii]. PACAP has emerged as a neuropeptide implicated in the pathophysiology of migraine and represents a novel target in migraine. Completed clinical trials with Lu AG09222 have demonstrated Proof-of-Mechanism showing that Lu AG09222 can halt PACAP38-triggered vasodilation and headaches and Proof-of-Concept of efficacy in migraine prevention. The HOPE phase IIa Proof-of-Concept trial met the primary endpoint; the difference from placebo in mean change in MMDs from baseline over weeks 1-4 was significant versus placebo. Lu AG09222 was generally well tolerated in these trials. Together, these data confirm a role of PACAP in migraine pathophysiology and support Lu AG09222 as a potential first-in-class preventive treatment of migraine and possibly other pain related indications. About migraineMigraine is a complex and incapacitating neurological disease characterized by recurrent episodes of moderate to severe, pulsating headaches typically accompanied by an array of symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound[iii]. As the most prevalent neurological disorder in people aged <50 years, migraine imposes both a social and financial burden, affecting around 135 million people in the G7 countries plus China. Repeated migraine attacks, and often the constant fear of the next one, damage family life, social life and work life[iv].

Friday, April 26, 2024, is proposed as the record date for payment of the dividend. Provided that the Meeting resolves in accordance with the proposal, dividends are expected to be distributed by Euroclear Sweden AB on Thursday, May 2, 2024. 14.Resolution on approval of a long-term incentive program 2024 Background The Board of Directors of SSAB AB (publ) (“SSAB” or the “Company”) proposes that the Annual General Meeting 2024 resolve to approve a long-term cash-based incentive program (the “Program” or “LTI 2024”). The Program is directed to the Group Executive Committee and a number of senior executives and key employees within SSAB and is intended to be implemented after SSAB’s Annual General Meeting 2024. The Annual General Meeting 2023 resolved on a long-term cash-based incentive program for key employees within SSAB, including the Group Executive Committee (“LTI 2023”). In order to promote a common interest for the company management and shareholders of long-term good return, the Board of Directors considers that the Program is appropriately designed and proposes that the Annual General Meeting 2024 adopt a long-term cash-based incentive program which, in all material respects, has the same conditions as the LTI 2023. The Board of Directors also considers that such a program would promote the Company’s ability to recruit and retain key employees. The Board of Directors has further resolved on a policy for senior executives’ shareholdings, in order for members in the Group Executive Committee to accumulate over time a shareholding in SSAB corresponding to a gross annual base salary and other participants in LTI 2024 a shareholding corresponding to half a gross annual base salary. The Board of Directors’ intention is for the participants to use the cash remuneration received after tax under LTI 2024 to acquire shares in SSAB in order to accumulate such shareholding. The policy does not apply to participants employed in North America, for whom the payment of cash remuneration under LTI 2024 instead will be deferred by 12 months. Principal terms and conditions of the Program The Board of Directors proposes that the Program shall be based on the following principal terms and conditions. a)The Program is proposed to be open to no more than 160 senior executives, including the Company’s President, and identified key employees of SSAB. b)The Company intends to offer senior executives and identified key employees to participate in the Program during the second quarter of 2024, with the opportunity for the participants to accept the offer no later than June 30, 2024 (however with the right for the Board of Directors to postpone the acceptance date for individual participants where there are special reasons). c)The participants have the opportunity, depending on satisfaction of certain long-term performance conditions (as defined in paragraph d) below) to obtain a cash remuneration free of charge (the “Cash Remuneration”) after the end of a three-year vesting period (the “Vesting Period”). The Cash Remuneration for each participant may not exceed; for the President 40 per cent, for other members of the Group Executive Committee outside North America 35 per cent, for members of the Group Executive Committee in North America 108 per cent, for identified key employees outside North America 20-30 per cent and for identified key employees in North America 24-108 per cent, of the participant’s fixed annual cash salary (gross) as of January 1, 2024. d)Payment of the Cash Remuneration shall depend on the degree of satisfaction of the following performance conditions for the Program: (i)A Program specific financial target consisting of the total return on the Company’s shares (TSR) for the financial years 2024, 2025 and 2026 in relation to a reference value that to 70 per cent consists of the average total shareholder return of a benchmark group of other companies[1] and to 30 per cent of the OMXS30 index (the “Reference Value”) (the “TSR Condition”). Payment of Cash Remuneration related to the TSR Condition shall be calculated in accordance with the following: · A condition for Cash Remuneration related to the TSR Condition to be paid is that the Company’s TSR during the Vesting Period has provided a better return compared to the Reference Value, i.e. an overperformance exceeding 0 percentage points (the “TSR Minimum Level”). If the TSR Minimum Level is not reached, no Cash Remuneration related to the TSR Condition will be paid. · For maximum payment of Cash Remuneration related to the TSR Condition, the Company’s TSR during the Vesting Period shall have overperformed the Reference Value by at least 10 percentage points (“TSR Maximum Level”). · If the Company’s TSR is between the TSR Minimum Level and the TSR Maximum Level, the participants will receive a linear Cash Remuneration in proportion to the TSR outcome. (ii)A Program specific sustainability target consisting of the total sales of steel without fossil carbon dioxide emissions (regarding Scope 1 and 2)[2] (the “Sustainability Condition”). Payment of Cash Remuneration related to the Sustainability Condition shall be calculated in accordance with the following: · A condition for any Cash Remuneration related to the Sustainability Condition to be paid is that the SSAB Group’s total sales of steel without fossil carbon dioxide emissions during the Vesting Period exceeds 230 thousand tonnes (the “Sustainability Minimum Level”). If the Sustainability Minimum Level is not reached, no Cash Remuneration related to the Sustainability Condition will be paid. · For maximum payment of Cash Remuneration related to the Sustainability Condition, the SSAB Group’s total sales of steel without fossil carbon dioxide emissions during the Vesting Period shall exceed 330 thousand tonnes (“Sustainability Maximum Level”). · Should the outcome of the Sustainability Condition be between the Sustainability Minimum Level and the Sustainability Maximum Level, the participants will receive a linear Cash Remuneration in proportion to the outcome. (iii)The TSR Condition will be weighted 90 per cent and the Sustainability Condition 10 per cent, when payment of the Cash Remuneration is decided. In connection with the expiration of the Vesting Period, the Board of Directors will publish information disclosing to what extent the TSR Condition and Sustainability Condition have been satisfied. e)The Cash Remuneration may normally be paid only after the expiration of the Vesting Period (and for participants in North America, payment shall normally be made by a twelve-month deferral). f)A prerequisite for a participant, where applicable, to be able to receive Cash Remuneration, is that he/she, with certain exemptions approved by the Board of Directors, has been permanently employed within the SSAB Group for the duration of the whole Vesting Period. g)If extraordinary changes in the SSAB Group or in the market occur which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would result in a situation where the conditions for Cash Remuneration under the Program become unreasonable, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to make adjustments to the Program, including, among other things, be entitled to resolve on a reduced right to Cash Remuneration, or that no Cash Remuneration shall be paid at all. h)The Board of Directors shall be entitled to resolve on the detailed terms and conditions for the Program. The Board of Directors may, in that regard, make necessary adjustments of these general terms and conditions to satisfy certain regulations or market conditions outside Sweden. i)Participation in the Program presupposes that such participation is legally possible in the various jurisdictions concerned. Costs for the Program, dilution, etc. The total cost[3] for LTI 2024 including social security charges is estimated to a maximum of SEK 83 million if the satisfaction of each of the performance conditions is 50 per cent (a maximum of SEK 166 million if the satisfaction of each of the performance conditions is 100per cent). This cost can be related to SSAB’s total cost for salaries and remuneration including social security charges of SEK 12,974 million in 2023. The effects on key ratios and profit per share are marginal. The Program is cash-based and does therefore not entail any dilution in the number of shares issued for the Company’s shareholders. No hedging arrangements are intended to be made with regard to the Program’s financial exposure. Preparations of the proposal The proposed Program has, pursuant to the guidelines issued by SSAB’s Board of Directors, been prepared by SSAB’s Remuneration Committee with the assistance of external advisors. The Remuneration Committee has informed the Board of Directors of its work, whereafter the Board of Directors has resolved that the Program shall be referred to the Annual General Meeting 2024 for approval. Majority requirements The Annual General Meeting’s resolution on approval of the Program requires simple majority of the votes cast. Previous incentive programs in SSAB SSAB has resolved on long-term cash-based incentive programs since 2011. The Company’s other outstanding incentive programs are described in more detail in note B.4 in SSAB’s annual report for the financial year 2023. 15.a) and b)Resolution on a) reduction of the share capital through cancellation of own shares and b) increase of the share capital through a bonus issue without issuance of new shares SSAB has, on the basis of an authorization by the Annual General Meeting 2023, acquired own shares. As of the date of the notice, SSAB holds 8,216,940 own series A shares and 25,000,719 own series B shares, corresponding to approximately 3.2 per cent of the total number of shares in the company. The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolve to reduce the share capital through cancellation of own shares of series A and B, and to increase the share capital through a bonus issue, in accordance with items 15 a) and b) below. Resolutions under items 15 a) and b) are proposed to be taken as a joint resolution. 15 a) Reduction of the share capital through cancellation of own shares The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolve to reduce the share capital through cancellation of own shares. The purpose of the reduction is allocation to unrestricted equity. The reduction of the share capital shall be made through cancellation of 8,216,940 series A shares and 25,000,719 series B shares that are held by the Company. The reduction of the share capital will amount to SEK 292,315,399.2 through the cancellation of 8,216,940 own series A shares and 25,000,719 own series B shares. The resolution to reduce the share capital under this item a) may be effectuated without obtaining an authorization from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or, in disputed cases, a general court’s permission, as the Company simultaneously effectuates a bonus issue (as set out under item 15 b) below) with an amount corresponding to no less than the amount the share capital is being reduced with as set out above. Combined, these measures entail that neither the Company’s restricted equity nor its share capital is reduced. 15 b) Bonus issue With the purpose of restoring the share capital after the proposed reduction of the share capital, as set out under item 15 a) above, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting simultaneously resolve on a bonus issue to increase the Company’s share capital by SEK 292,315,399.2 through a transfer of SEK 292,315,399.2 from the Company’s unrestricted equity. The bonus issue shall be carried out without the issuance of new shares. Statement by the Board of Directors pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 13, fourth paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act In view of the Board of Directors’ proposal for resolution on reduction of the share capital through cancellation of shares, the Board of Directors hereby issues the following statement pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 13, fourth paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act. It follows from the Board of Directors’ proposal on reduction of the share capital that the Board of Directors proposes that the Company’s share capital shall be reduced by SEK292,315,399.2 through cancellation of 8,216,940 own series A shares and 25,000,719 own series B shares for allocation to unrestricted equity. To achieve a quick and efficient cancellation procedure without the requirement of obtaining the Swedish Companies Registration Office’s or a general court’s permission, the Board of Directors has also proposed that the Annual General Meeting resolve on restoring the Company’s share capital to its current amount by increasing the share capital with SEK292,315,399.2 through a bonus issue without issuance of new shares. The amount is to be transferred from the Company’s unrestricted equity to the Company’s share capital. Through the reduction of the share capital due to the cancellation of shares, the Company’s share capital is reduced by SEK 292,315,399.2 and through the bonus issue the Company’s share capital is increased by the same amount. The Company’s restricted equity and share capital will therefore remain unchanged after the implementation of the bonus issue. Following completion of the reduction of the share capital and the bonus issue, the number of shares will amount to 996,617,667. Authorization The Board of Directors further proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolve to authorize the Board of Directors, or whom it appoints, to make such minor adjustments to the resolution under items 15 a) and b) above as may be required for registration of the resolutions with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB and to take such other measures required to execute the resolutions. Conditions and majority requirements The resolutions under items 15 a) and b) are proposed to be taken as a joint resolution. In order to be valid, the resolution under items 15 a) and b) above requires the approval of at least two thirds of the votes cast as well as shares represented at the meeting. 16. Resolution on authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisitions of own shares The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorize the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisitions of own shares in the Company on the following terms and conditions: · Acquisitions may be made of shares of series A and/or B. · Acquisitions may take place on Nasdaq Stockholm and/or Nasdaq Helsinki. · The authorization may be utilized on one or several occasions during the period up to the next Annual General Meeting. · Acquisitions may be made of such amount of shares of series A and/or B that the holding of the Company at any time does not exceed 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the Company. · Acquisitions may only be made at a price per share within the price range between the highest purchase price and lowest selling price applicable from time to time on Nasdaq Stockholm or Nasdaq Helsinki. The purpose of the authorization is to give the Board of Directors increased freedom of action to adjust the Company's capital structure so as to create greater value for the Company's shareholders, after which the Board of Directors intends to propose to the Annual General Meeting 2025 that it resolves to cancel the shares repurchased by the Company. In addition, the Board of Directors intends to also propose to the same Annual General Meeting a resolution concerning an equivalent bonus issue to restore the decreased share capital. The Board of Directors has issued a statement in accordance with Chapter 19, Section 22 of the Swedish Companies Act. In order to be valid, a resolution under this item requires the approval of at least two thirds of the votes cast as well as shares represented at the meeting. Information at the Annual General Meeting The shareholders are entitled to some information at the Annual General Meeting.

Allocation of the company’s result (item 11) The board of directors proposes that thereshallbeno dividend for 2023 and that the results of the company shall be carried forward. Resolution regarding nomination committee (item 17) The nomination committee proposes that the meeting resolves that the company shall have a nomination committee consisting of a representative of each of the three largest shareholders, based on the number of votes held, together with the chairman of the board. If any of the three largest shareholders declines to appoint a member to the nomination committee, additional shareholders are, by order of size, to be offered appointment until three members are appointed. The names of the members of the nomination committee and the names of the shareholders they represent shall be made public not later than six months before the annual general meeting and be based on shareholding statistics provided by Euroclear Sweden AB per the last banking day in August 2024 as well as other reliable shareholder information which has been provided to the Company at such time. Unless the members of the nomination committee agree otherwise, the member representing the largest shareholder, based on the number of votes held, shall be appointed chairman of the nomination committee. If a shareholder representative no longer represents the owner or leaves the nomination committee before its work is completed, the shareholder shall be entitled to appoint a new member of the nomination committee. A shareholder who has appointed a member of the nomination committee has the right to remove such member and appoint a new member of the nomination committee. In the event a shareholder that has appointed a member is no longer one of the three largest shareholders, based on the number of votes held, the appointed member shall resign and be replaced by a new member in accordance with the above procedure. Unless special circumstances apply, no changes should be made in the composition of the nomination committee as a result of minor changes in voting rights or changes in voting rights which occur later than two months before the annual general meeting. Changes in the composition of the nomination committee shall be made public as soon as possible. The nomination committee shall prepare and submit proposals to the general meeting on chairman of the meeting, board members, chairman of the board, board fees to each of the board members and the chairman as well as remuneration for committee work, if any, fees to the company’s auditor, and, when applicable, proposal regarding election of new auditor. Further, the nomination committee shall prepare and propose principles for the composition of the nomination committee to the annual general meeting 2025. The nomination committee shall be entitled to charge the company with costs for consultants and other expenses necessary for the nomination committee to carry out its duties. Resolution regarding authorization for the board of directors to resolve to issue new shares (item 18) The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorizes the board of directors to resolve to issue new shares on one or several occasions until the next annual general meeting, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, against cash payment or against payment through set-off or in kind, or otherwise on special conditions. However, such issue of shares must never result in the company’s issued share capital or the number of shares in the company at any time, being increased by more than a total of 20 per cent. The purpose of the authorization is to enable the board to make corporate acquisitions, product acquisitions or to enter into collaboration agreements, or to raise working capital or broaden the shareholder base. The CEO shall be authorized to make such minor adjustments to this resolution that may be necessary in connection with the registration thereof. Resolution regarding authorization for the board of directors to resolve to repurchase and transfer own shares (item 19) The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorizes the board of directors to resolve to repurchase, on one or several occasions until the next annual general meeting, as many own shares as may be purchased without the company’s holding at any time exceeding 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the company. The shares shall be purchased on Nasdaq Stockholm and only at a price per share within the price range applicable, i.e. the range between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price. The board of directors also proposes that the annual general meeting authorizes the board of directors to resolve, on one or several occasions until the next annual general meeting, to transfer (sell) own shares. Transfers may be carried out on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price within the price range applicable, i.e. the range between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price. Transfers may also be made in other ways, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, against cash payment or against payment through set-off or in kind, or otherwise on special conditions. Upon such transfers, the price shall be established so that it is not below market terms. However, a discount to the stock market price may apply, in line with market practice. Transfers of own shares may be made of up to such number of shares as is held by the company at the time of the board of director's resolution regarding the transfer. The purpose of the authorization to repurchase own shares is to promote efficient capital usage in the company, to provide flexibility as regards the company’s possibilities to distribute capital to its shareholders and for use in the context of the company’s incentive plans. The purpose of the authorization to transfer own shares is to enable the board to make corporate acquisitions, product acquisitions or enter into collaboration agreements, or to raise working capital or broaden the shareholder base or for use in the context of the company’s incentive plans. The board of director’s statement in accordance with chapter 19 section 22 of the Swedish Companies Act is made available together with the proposal. The CEO shall be authorized to make such minor adjustments to this resolution that may be necessary in connection with the registration thereof. Resolution regarding adoption of new performance-based long-term incentive program LTIP2024 (item 20) The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to implement a new performance-based long-term incentive program for not more than 130 selected employees within the Orexo group (“LTIP 2024”). LTIP 2024 is a three-year performance-based program. Under LTIP 2024, the participants will be granted, free of charge, (i) performance-based share awards (“Share Awards”), and (ii) performance-based employee stock options (“Employee Stock Options”), entitling to a maximum of 2,360,884 shares in Orexo, in accordance with the terms stipulated below. The Share Awards entitle to a maximum of 708,265 shares in Orexo and the Employee Stock Options entitle to a maximum of 1,652,619 shares in Orexo. The rationale for the proposal LTIP 2024 substantially corresponds with the performance based long-term incentive program adopted at the annual general meeting 2023 (LTIP 2023). LTIP 2024 is intended for certain senior executives and employees within the Orexo group. The board of directors of Orexo believes that an equity incentive program is an important part of a competitive remuneration package to be able to attract, retain and motivate qualified employees to the Orexo group. With reference thereto, the board of directors has decided to propose the adoption of a program corresponding to the program adopted at the annual general meeting 2023 (LTIP 2023). LTIP 2024 is based on performance-based Share Awards and Employee Stock Options and adapted to the current needs of the Orexo group. The purpose of LTIP 2024 is to attract, retain and motivate employees of the Orexo group, provide a competitive remuneration package and to align the interests of the senior executives and employees with the interests of the shareholders. The board of directors is of the opinion that this strengthens the interest for Orexo’s business and also stimulates company loyalty in the future. In light of the above, the board of directors believes that the implementation of LTIP 2024 will have a positive effect on the development of the Orexo group and consequently that LTIP 2024 is beneficial to both the shareholders and the company. Conditions for Share Awards and Employee Stock Options The following conditions shall apply for the Share Awards and the Employee Stock Options. -          The Share Awards and the Employee Stock Options shall be granted free of charge to the participants as soon as possible following the annual general meeting 2024 and no later than on 30 June 2024. Out of the granted Share Awards and Employee Stock Options, 30 percent shall constitute Share Awards and 70 percent shall constitute Employee Stock Options. -          Each Share Award entitles the holder to receive one share in the company free of charge, except for the appropriate taxes, three years after the granting of the Share Award (the vesting period), provided that the holder, with some exceptions, still is employed by the Orexo group. -          Each Employee Stock Option entitles the holder to receive one share in the company upon payment of the strike price, three years after granting of the Employee Stock Option (the vesting period), provided that the holder, with some exceptions, still is employed by the Orexo group. The strike price shall be fixed to 100 percent of the volume-weighted average price for the Orexo share during the ten trading days preceding the date of the annual general meeting 2024. -          A prerequisite for entitlement to receive shares on the basis of Share Awards is that Performance Targets 1 and/or 2 have been satisfied pursuant to the terms and conditions specified below. -          A prerequisite for entitlement to receive shares on the basis of Employee Stock Options is that Performance Target 1 has been satisfied pursuant to the terms and conditions specified below. -          The number of Share Awards and Employee Stock Options encompassed by LTIP 2024 is to be re-calculated in the event that changes occur in Orexo’s equity capital structure, such as a bonus issue, merger or consolidation of shares, new issue, reduction of the share capital or similar measures. -          To make the participants’ interest equal with the shareholders’, Orexo will compensate the participants for distributed dividends, if any, during the vesting period by increasing the number of shares that each Share Award and each Employee Stock Option, respectively, entitles to after the vesting period. -          The Share Awards and the Employee Stock Options are non-transferable and may not be pledged. -          The Share Awards and the Employee Stock Options can be granted by the parent company and any other company within the Orexo group. Performance Conditions The Share Awards are to be divided according to two different performance conditions encompassed by LTIP 2024. The performance conditions focus on the holder still being employed by the Orexo group (“Performance Target 1”) and Orexo’s financial and operational targets for 2024 (“Performance Target 2”). Of each participant’s granted Share Awards, approximately 33 percent (one third) will pertain to Performance Target 1 and up to approximately 67 percent (two thirds) will pertain to Performance Target 2. The Employee Stock Options are to be divided according to one performance condition encompassed by LTIP 2024, which is Performance Target 1. Of each participant’s granted Employee Stock Options, 100 percent will pertain to Performance Target 1, meaning that no Employee Stock Options will vest unless the performance target is met. The allotment of shares that each participant later may receive depends on achievement of the established performance targets as described below. Performance Target 1 (for Share Awards and Employee Stock Options): This target pertains to the holder still being employed by the Orexo group upon vesting. Performance Target 2 (for Share Awards): This target pertains to the fulfilment of the financial and operational targets for the financial year 2024 as established by the board of directors and relates to Orexo’s key KPIs as for example revenue, profitability and achieved milestones, etc. Performance achievement of individual targets is weighted into an overall average performance achievement. The outcome will be measured lineally; meaning that from zero to 100 percent of the Share Awards will vest depending on the overall average rate of performance of the financial and operational targets. All Share Awards will vest and entitle to one share each if 100 percent of the overall average performance is achieved. When calculating the overall performance achievement, individual targets may account for a maximum of 120 percent achievement, but the overall average performance is capped at 100 percent. If performance achievement falls below 80 percent for an individual target, this individual target accounts for zero in the calculation of the overall average achieved. The board of directors will present the rate of achievement of Performance Target 2 in the annual report for 2024. Allocation The participants are divided into two allocation categories: (i) CEO and other members of group management; (ii) other personnel. The maximum number of Share Awards and Employee Stock Options that a participant may be granted in LTIP 2024 depends on the category to which the participant belongs. To ensure that the value of the share-based remuneration does not reach an unintended level in relation to other remuneration, the value of the Share Awards and Employee Stock Options granted to the CEO and group management must not, at the time of the grant, exceed a value equal to the person’s current annual base salary. For other personnel the value must not exceed 33 percent of the annual base salary. The board of directors shall resolve upon the final allocation of the Share Awards and Employee Stock Options as soon as possible after the annual general meeting. Several factors will be considered in order to secure recruitment, retention and motivation when deciding upon individual allocations including position within Orexo, individual performance and total value of current remuneration package. Individual allocation cannot exceed the above-mentioned limit for the category that the individual belongs to. Out of the allocated Share Awards and Employee Stock Options, 30 percent will constitute Share Awards and 70 percent will constitute Employee Stock Options. The share price that is to form the basis for calculating the number of Share Awards and Employee Stock Options is to correspond to the average last price paid during a given period of trading. This period comprises the first ten days of trading immediately following the date of the 2024 annual general meeting. The share price is then divided by the individual granting value in order to arrive at the total number of Share Awards and Employee Stock Options granted per participant. Preparation and administration The board of directors shall be responsible for preparing the detailed terms and conditions of LTIP 2024, in accordance with the mentioned terms and guidelines. To this end, the board of directors shall be entitled to make adjustments to meet foreign regulations or market conditions. The board of directors may also make other adjustments if significant changes in the Orexo group, or its operating environment, would result in a situation where the decided terms and conditions for LTIP 2024 no longer are appropriate. Prior to finally determining allotment of shares on the basis of Share Awards and Employee Stock Options, the board of directors will assess whether the outcome of LTIP 2024 is reasonable. This assessment will be conducted in relation to the company’s financial earnings and position, conditions in the stock market and other circumstances. Should the board of directors not consider the outcome to be reasonable, the number of shares to be allotted will be reduced. Preparation of the proposal LTIP 2024 has been initiated by the board of directors of Orexo and has been structured in consultation with external advisers based on an evaluation of prior incentive programs and best market practices. LTIP 2024 has been prepared by the remuneration committee and reviewed at meetings of the board of directors. Scope and costs of the program LTIP 2024 will be accounted for in accordance with “IFRS 2 – Share‐based payments”. IFRS 2 stipulates that the Share Awards and Employee Stock Options should be expensed as personnel costs over the vesting period and will be accounted for directly against equity. Personnel costs in accordance with IFRS 2 do not affect the company’s cash flow. Social security costs will be expensed in the income statement during the vesting period. Assuming a share price at the time of implementation of SEK 15.60, that Performance Target 1 is achieved and that Performance Target 2 is achieved at 50 percent, including a share price increase of 30 percent during the vesting period, the total cost for LTIP 2024 including social security costs is estimated to approximately SEK 27.0 million before tax. The corresponding total cost with full achievement of Performance Target 1 and Performance Target 2, including a share price increase of 60 percent during the vesting period, is estimated to approximately SEK 39.2 million before tax. LTIP 2024 will have marginal effects on Orexo’s key ratios since delivery of shares shall be made by way of transfer of Orexo’s repurchased shares as is described under section “Delivery under LTIP 2024” below. Since delivery of shares under LTIP 2024 shall be made by way of transfer of Orexo’s repurchased shares, LTIP 2024 entails no dilution of the shareholding of the company. The maximum level of dilution for all other outstanding long-term incentive programs in the company amounts to 0 percent, since delivery of shares shall be made by way of transfer of Orexo’s repurchased shares. Information on Orexo’s existing incentive programs can be found in the 2023 annual report, note 10 and 24, as well as on the company’s website www.orexo.com. Delivery under LTIP 2024 The board of directors proposes that delivery of shares under LTIP 2024 shall be made by way of transfer of Orexo’s repurchased shares. In addition, the board of directors proposes that delivery may also be satisfied through payment of a cash amount that is equal to the value of the Orexo share on the date of vesting less the applicable strike price for any Employee Stock Options. Resolution regarding adoption of new performance-based long-term incentive program LTIP Stay-on 2024 (item 21) The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to implement a new performance-based long-term incentive program for certain Global Management Team (“GMT”) employees and US Leadership Team (“USLT”) employees within the Orexo group (“LTIP Stay-on 2024”). LTIP Stay-on 2024 is proposed to include up to approximately 13 GMT and USLT employees within the Orexo group. LTIP Stay-on 2024 is a three-year performance-based program. Under LTIP Stay-on 2024, the participants will be granted, free of charge, (i) performance-based share awards (“Share Awards”), and (ii) performance-based employee stock options (“Employee Stock Options”), entitling to a maximum of 70,000 shares in Orexo, in accordance with the terms stipulated below. The Share Awards entitle to a maximum of 35,000 shares in Orexo and the Employee Stock Options entitle to a maximum of 35,000 shares in Orexo. The rationale for the proposal LTIP Stay-on 2024 substantially corresponds with the performance based long-term incentive program adopted at the annual general meeting 2023 (LTIP Stay-on 2023). LTIP Stay-on 2024 is intended for certain GMT and USLT employees within the Orexo group and qualification for participation in LTIP Stay-on 2024 is conditional upon the participant either keeping shares from allocations in Orexo’s other on-going long-term incentive programs (the “implemented LTIPs”) or investing in new Orexo shares with part of or the entire annual cash bonus of the participant. The board of directors of Orexo believes that an equity incentive program is an important part of a competitive remuneration package to be able to attract, retain and motivate qualified employees to the Orexo group. The board of directors further believes that LTIP Stay-on 2024 constitutes an important incentive for GMT and USLT employees to keep shares in the company. With reference thereto, the board of directors has decided to propose the adoption of a program corresponding to the program adopted at the annual general meeting 2023 (LTIP Stay-on 2023). LTIP Stay-on 2024 is based on performance-based Share Awards and Employee Stock Options and adapted to the current needs of the Orexo group. The purpose of LTIP Stay-on 2024 is to attract, retain and motivate employees of the Orexo group, provide a competitive remuneration package and to align the interests of GMT and USLT employees with the interests of the shareholders. The board of directors is of the opinion that this strengthens the interest for Orexo’s business and also stimulates company loyalty in the future. In light of the above, the board of directors believes that the implementation of LTIP Stay-on 2024 will have a positive effect on the development of the Orexo group and consequently that LTIP Stay-on 2024 is beneficial to both the shareholders and the company. Conditions for Share Awards and Employee Stock Options The following conditions shall apply for the Share Awards and the Employee Stock Options. -          Qualification for participation in LTIP Stay-on 2024 is conditional upon the participant (i) keeping shares from allocations in any of Orexo’s implemented LTIPs between 1May 2024 and 31 July 2024 (“Opt-in 1”), or (ii) investing in new Orexo shares with part of or the entire annual cash bonus of the participant between 1 February 2025 and 30 April 2025 (“Opt-in 2”). -          Under Opt-in 1, the Share Awards and the Employee Stock Options shall be granted free of charge to the participants as soon as possible after 31 July 2024 and no later than on 31 August 2024. -          Under Opt-in 2, the Share Awards and the Employee Stock Options shall be granted free of charge to the participants as soon as possible after 30 April 2025 and no later than on 31 May 2025. -          Out of the granted Share Awards and Employee Stock Options, 50 percent shall constitute Share Awards and 50 percent shall constitute Employee Stock Options. Every five (5) shares kept in accordance with Opt-in 1 and every five (5) shares acquired in accordance with Opt-in 2, respectively, entitle the participant to one (1) Share Award and one (1) Employee Stock Option. -          Each Share Award entitles the holder to receive one share in the company, free of charge, except for the appropriate taxes, three years after the granting of the Share Award (the vesting period), provided that the holder, with some exceptions, still is employed by the Orexo group. -          Each Employee Stock Option entitles the holder to receive one share in the company upon payment of the strike price, three years after the granting of the Employee Stock Option (the vesting period), provided that the holder, with some exceptions, still is employed by the Orexo group. The strike price shall be fixed to 100 percent of the volume-weighted average price for the Orexo share during the ten trading days preceding the date of the annual general meeting 2024. -          A prerequisite for entitlement to receive shares on the basis of Share Awards is that Performance Targets 1 and/or 2 have been satisfied pursuant to the terms and conditions specified below. -          A prerequisite for entitlement to receive shares on the basis of Employee Stock Options is that Performance Target 1 has been satisfied pursuant to the terms and conditions specified below. -          The number of Share Awards and Employee Stock Options encompassed by LTIP Stay-on 2024 is to be re-calculated in the event that changes occur in Orexo’s equity capital structure, such as a bonus issue, merger or consolidation of shares, new issue, reduction of the share capital or similar measures. -          To make the participants’ interest equal with the shareholders’, Orexo will compensate the participants for distributed dividends, if any, during the vesting period by increasing the number of shares that each Share Award and each Employee Stock Option, respectively, entitles to after the vesting period. -          The Share Awards and the Employee Stock Options are non-transferable and may not be pledged. -          The Share Awards and the Employee Stock Options can be granted by the parent company and any other company within the Orexo group. Performance Conditions The Share Awards are to be divided according to two different performance conditions encompassed by LTIP Stay-on 2024. The performance conditions focus on the holder still being employed by the Orexo group (“Performance Target 1”) and Orexo’s financial and operational targets for 2024 (“Performance Target 2”). Of each participant’s granted Share Awards, 50 percent will pertain to Performance Target 1 and up to 50 percent will pertain to Performance Target 2. The Employee Stock Options are to be divided according to one performance condition encompassed by LTIP Stay-on 2024, which is Performance Target 1. Of each participant’s granted Employee Stock Options, 100 percent will pertain to Performance Target 1, meaning that no Employee Stock Options will vest unless the performance target is met. The allotment of shares that each participant later may receive depends on achievement of the established performance targets as described below. Performance Target 1 (for Share Awards and Employee Stock Options): This target pertains to the holder still being employed by the Orexo group upon vesting. Performance Target 2 (for Share Awards): This target pertains to the fulfilment of the financial and operational targets for the financial year 2024 as established by the board of directors and relates to Orexo’s key KPIs as for example revenue, profitability and achieved milestones, etc. Performance achievement of individual targets is weighted into an overall average performance achievement. The outcome will be measured lineally; meaning that from zero to 100 percent of the Share Awards will vest depending on the overall average rate of performance of the financial and operational targets. All Share Awards will vest and entitle to one share each if 100 percent of the overall average performance is achieved. When calculating the overall performance achievement, individual targets may account for a maximum of 120 percent achievement, but the overall average performance is capped at 100 percent. If performance achievement falls below 80 percent for an individual target, this individual target accounts for zero in the calculation of the overall average achieved. The board of directors will present the rate of achievement of Performance Target 2 in the Annual Report for 2024. Allocation Every five (5) shares kept in accordance with Opt-in 1 and every five (5) shares acquired in accordance with Opt-in 2, respectively, entitle the participants of LTIP Stay-on 2024 to one (1) Share Award and one (1) Employee Stock Option. Out of the allocated Share Awards and Employee Stock Options, 50 percent will constitute Share Awards and 50 percent will constitute Employee Stock Options. In relation to allocation under Opt-in 1, the board of directors shall resolve upon the final allocation of the Share Awards and Employee Stock Options as soon as possible after 31 July 2024. In relation to allocation under Opt-in 2, the board of directors shall resolve upon the final allocation of the Share Awards and Employee Stock Options as soon as possible after 30 April 2025. Preparation and administration The board of directors shall be responsible for preparing the detailed terms and conditions of LTIP Stay-on 2024, in accordance with the mentioned terms and guidelines. To this end, the board of directors shall be entitled to make adjustments to meet foreign regulations or market conditions. The board of directors may also make other adjustments if significant changes in the Orexo group, or its operating environment, would result in a situation where the decided terms and conditions for LTIP Stay-on 2024 no longer are appropriate. Prior to finally determining allotment of shares on the basis of Share Awards and Employee Stock Options, the board of directors will assess whether the outcome of LTIP Stay-on 2024 is reasonable. This assessment will be conducted in relation to the company’s financial earnings and position, conditions in the stock market and other circumstances. Should the board of directors not consider the outcome to be reasonable, the number of shares to be allotted will be reduced. Preparation of the proposal LTIP Stay-on 2024 has been initiated by the board of directors of Orexo and has been structured in consultation with external advisers based on an evaluation of prior incentive programs and best market practices. LTIP Stay-on 2024 has been prepared by the Remuneration Committee and reviewed at meetings of the board of directors. Scope and costs of the program LTIP Stay-on 2024 will be accounted for in accordance with “IFRS 2 – Share‐based payments”. IFRS 2 stipulates that the Share Awards and Employee Stock Options should be expensed as personnel costs over the vesting period and will be accounted for directly against equity. Personnel costs in accordance with IFRS 2 do not affect the company’s cash flow. Social security costs will be expensed in the income statement during the vesting period. Assuming a share price at the time of implementation of SEK 15.60, that Performance Target 1 is achieved and that Performance Target 2 is achieved at 50 percent, including a share price increase of 30 percent during the vesting period, the total cost for LTIP Stay-on 2024 including social security costs is estimated to approximately SEK 0.9 million before tax. The corresponding total cost with full achievement of Performance Target 1 and Performance Target 2, including a share price increase of 60 percent during the vesting period, is estimated to approximately SEK 1.2 million before tax. LTIP Stay-on 2024 will have marginal effects on Orexo’s key ratios since delivery of shares shall be made by way of transfer of Orexo’s repurchased shares as is described under section “Delivery under LTIP Stay-on 2024” below. Since delivery of shares under LTIP Stay-on 2024 shall be made by way of transfer of Orexo’s repurchased shares, LTIP Stay-on 2024 entails no dilution of the shareholding of the company. The maximum level of dilution for all other outstanding long-term incentive programs in the company amounts to 0 percent, since delivery of shares shall be made by way of transfer of Orexo’s repurchased shares. Information on Orexo’s existing incentive programs can be found in the 2023 annual report, note 10 and 24, as well as on the company’s website www.orexo.com. Delivery under LTIP Stay-on 2024 The board of directors proposes that delivery of shares under LTIP Stay-on 2024 shall be made by way of transfer of Orexo’s repurchased shares. In addition, the board of directors proposes that delivery may also be satisfied through payment of a cash amount that is equal to the value of the Orexo share on the date of vesting less the applicable strike price for any Employee Stock Options. ________________________ A resolution in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal in item 18 shall only be valid where supported by not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting and resolutions in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal in items 19, 20 and 21 shall only be valid where supported by not less than nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

The authorization comprises shares that correspond to a maximum of ten (10) per cent of the total number of shares issued by the Company at the time when the authorisation is utilized. The newly issues shares must be subscribed for in cash, in kind or with the right of set-off. The reasons for the deviation from the preferential right is that the Company must be able to issue shares as payment in connection with agreements in company acquisitions, or alternatively raise capital for such acquisitions. The Board, the CEO or the person appointed by one of them shall have the right to make minor adjustments to the above decisions that may prove necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. Special majority requirement A resolution under this item is valid only if it is supported by shareholders with at least two-thirds of the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting. Item 16 – Resolutions on implementation of a warrant-based incentive program 2024-2027 and directed issue of warrants The Board proposes that the general meeting resolves to issue a long-term incentive program as follows, comprising of a directed new issuance of warrants. Issue of warrants The Board of AQ Group AB (publ) proposes that the AGM establish a long-term warrant-based incentive program for employees within the AQ Group (the “Program”) by carrying out a private placement in respect of not more than 155,000 warrants, entailing an increase in the share capital of not more than SEK 310,000 if the private placement is fully taken up. Background and motive The Board finds it important and in the interest of all shareholders that the employees in the AQ Group have a long-term interest in good value development in the Company. Through a warrant-based incentive program for the AQ Group's employees, employees' rewards can be linked to the Company's future earnings and value development. The long-term value growth is thereby rewarded, and shareholders and affected employees have common goals. Share-based incentive programs also create a Group-wide focus for the employees concerned and thereby promotes long-term actions. The program is also considered to make it easier for the Company to recruit and retain key employees. The Board therefore assesses, based on the design of the Program, that there is no need to establish any predetermined and measurable performance criteria for participation in the Program. The reason for not applying the shareholders’ pre-emption rights is to introduce a warrant-based incentive program in the Company whereby the employees are offered to take part in and work for a positive value development of the share in the Company during the period covered by the proposed Program, and to enable the Company to recruit and retain competent and committed employees. The Board assesses that the Program may have a positive impact on the Company's continued development, for the benefit of the Company as well as its shareholders. In light of the terms and conditions, the size of the allotment and other circumstances, the Board deem that the proposed Program, in accordance with the below, is reasonable and beneficial to the Company and its shareholders. Main terms and conditions of the Program 1. The right to subscribe warrants is, with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, given to employees in the AQ Group who are offered participation in the Program. The warrants are intended to be offered to the participants on market terms in even lots of 500 warrants. A participant may register for subscription of a lower but not higher number of warrants than stated. The participants are divided into three categories. The Board is authorized to decide on the allotment of warrants in accordance with the principles established by the annual general meeting. The Program will include a maximum of the following number of warrants to the following employees (the "Participants"): Category Number Maximum number Maximum number of warrants/category of of persons warrants/personCEO 1 10 000 10 000GM 9 5 000 45 000Other key 40 2 500 100 000employeesTotal 50 155 000 2. All warrants shall be issued at market price to the Participants. The price per warrant shall then correspond to the warrant's market value calculated using the customary valuation model (the so-called Black-Scholes model) based on the listed share price and other prevailing market conditions on the day for subscription. Calculation of market value and calculation of subscription price regarding subscription of a new share in the Company shall be performed by Grant Thornton Sweden AB, or, if this is not possible, by another independent valuation institution. 3. Subscription of warrants shall be made on a special subscription list during the period commencing on 29 April 2024 up to and including 6 May 2024. The Board is entitled to extend the period. 4. Each warrant entitles to subscription of one (1) new share in the Company. Subscription of new shares by support of the warrants may take place during the subscription period from the day following the Company’s publication of the interim period 1 January – 31 March 2027, however not earlier than 12 May 2027 up to and including 10 June 2027, taking into account the insider regulation in force at any given time. If the Company has not published any such interim report, subscription may still take place during the period from 12 May 2027 up to and including 10 June 2027, taking into account the insider regulations in force at any given time. 5. The subscription price per share shall correspond to 125 percent of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period commencing on 19 April 2024 up to and including 2 May 2024. Days on which no price paid or bid price is recorded should not be included in the calculation. The subscription price arrived at through this calculation should be rounded off to the nearest whole ten öre, whereby four öre (4) should be rounded down and five öre (5) and above rounded up. The subscription price is not permitted to be lower than the quotient value of the Company’s shares. In connection with subscription of shares exercised through a warrant, the part of the subscription price that exceeds the quotient value shall be added to the non-restricted share premium reserve. 6. Simultaneously with the subscription, payment shall be made in cash to an account designated by the Company for the number of shares to which the subscription relates. 7. The newly issued shares following exercise of the warrants shall carry an entitlement to participate in dividends for the first time on the next record date for dividends which occurs after subscription of shares is effected. 8. In accordance with the complete terms and conditions of the warrants, the subscription price as well as the number of shares that each warrant entitles to subscription may be recalculated in the event of a bonus issue, new issue of shares, issue of warrants or convertibles, and in certain other cases. Furthermore, the time for the exercise of the warrants may be brought forward or postponed in certain cases. The complete terms and conditions of warrants are set out in Appendix A. 9. The Board or a person appointed by the Board shall be authorized to make any minor adjustments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. Costs, dilution and effects on relevant key ratios Based on a price for the Company's share of SEK 545.00 a subscription price of SEK 681.25 per share, a risk-free interest rate of 2.47 percent and a volatility of 32.0 percent, the value per warrant has been estimated at SEK 91.39, which gives a value for all warrants of SEK 14 165 450. Calculated on the basis of the above-mentioned estimated warrant value and that the Participants will pay market value for the warrants, the Program is only expected to incur certain limited costs, mainly in the form of external consulting fees and administration regarding the warrants and the Program as a whole. It is proposed that a maximum of 155 000 warrants be issued that can be exercised for subscription of a total of a maximum of 155 000 shares, which corresponds to a dilution effect of a maximum of one (1) percent. The Company's share capital may increase by a maximum of SEK 310 000, with reservation of the increase that may be caused by the fact that recalculation may take place in accordance with the terms of the warrants. The dilution and costs of establishing and administering the Program are expected to have a marginal impact on the Company's key ratios. Preparation of the proposal The proposal has been prepared by the Board after obtaining the viewpoint of majority shareholders and independent experts and has been addressed at board meetings in early 2024. Outstanding and previous share-related incentive programs There is one outstanding warrant-based incentive program, 2022-2025, resolved upon at the annual general meeting 2022. For a description of this, please refer to the company's website and annual report for 2023.

24SevenOffice Group AB received court ruling on price for shares in Busy Technologies AS

24SevenOffice is currently involved in a legal matter with the founders of Busy Technologies AS (“Busy”) concerning the terms of an earnout agreement and the founders’ admitted tax fraud. The core of the dispute lies in whether Busy fulfilled specific financial criterias that would allow its founders to exercise an option to sell their remaining shares in Busy to 24SevenOffice. The option for the founders to sell their shares only applies if Busy 1) has not raised additional capital after the initial investment of 2.5 MNOK and 2) has an ARR over 3 MNOK. Through the preliminary ruling, the judge has avoided addressing questions of fraud related to the founders' misuse of Norway's SkatteFUNN scheme and illegal loans, which would impact the first covenant detailing the additional capital. These issues are pending investigation by the tax authorities and police and must be clarified before impacting a potential future court decision. Given this, 24SevenOffice is weighing the option of an appeal, contingent on the timeline of these external investigations.

Are you struggling with a broken toilet flush? There are many potential reasons why a toilet flush may suddenly stop working. A toilet flush is something that you want to fix quickly. Otherwise, you'll struggle to get rid of the waste. It's particularly important to act quickly if you only have one toilet in the home, as many people do. [A person putting a tissue in a toilet Description automatically generated] So, how do you go about fixing a toilet flush? Plumbing expert, David Cruz at MyJobQuote.co.uk  has created this guide on how to identify and fix common toilet flush issues. So if you’re struggling with a toilet flush problem, look no further and have your toilet up and running again in no time. Common Causes of a Broken Toilet Flush? There are several things that may cause your toilet flush to stop working. Below is a list of the most common culprits: · A problem with the toilet handle · The tank’s water levels are too low · The toilet is clogged · There is a drain line problem How Can You Tell If a Toilet Flush Is Broken? There are several things that you may notice that can indicate you have a broken toilet flush. For example, you may notice that when you push down on the flush handle, nothing happens. Alternatively, you may notice that a small amount of water enters the bowl when you flush it, but not enough water to complete the toilet flushing process. In other cases, a clog may be the issue. If this is the case, you may notice that when you flush the toilet, the water rises and won’t continue down the drain. How Do You Fix a Toilet Flush? The method for fixing a toilet flush will depend on the reason why it is broken. Each problem requires a different fixing method. Below are a few of the most common causes of a broken toilet flush and how to fix them: Toilet Handle Problem If you push down your toilet handle, but nothing is happening, this is usually down to an issue with the handle, and this is often one of the easiest fixes. If you don't see any water movement at all when you push down the handle, this means that your toilet handle has disconnected and simply needs to be reattached. On the inside of the toilet tank, the flushing handle is connected to a chain and a small arm that work together to lift the flapper when the handle is pressed. When you press on the toilet handle, the flapper raises, and water is dumped into the toilet bowl. Small issues, such as a broken link in the chain or a loose nut, can cause the handle to disconnect from the flapper. Fixing this problem is as simple as just reconnecting some basic parts depending on what has become disconnected. Low Tank Water Levels When there is not enough water in the toilet tank, the toilet won't be able to flush because not enough water can be dumped into the bowl. You can check if this is the problem by looking at the back of the toilet tank. The water levels should be up to around an inch below the top of the overflow tube. To fix this issue, it's usually as simple as twisting the flush valve. If the toilet's water intake valve has been bumped, it may not be getting the water needed to flush properly. In other cases, the float ball may not have been adjusted appropriately, making it sink too low and signal that the tank is full before it actually is. In which case, the ball simply needs to be adjusted in height. In rare cases, the problem may be down to problems with your water pressure, leaks in the pipes, or other problems that will require the assistance of a professional plumber. Clogged Toilet In a lot of cases, the problem isn't due to an issue with the toilet itself but an issue of a clog inside the toilet. Toilets are designed to handle a certain amount and type of waste. It can be quite easy for toilets to become blocked with things like wipes, sanitary products, or large quantities of toilet rolls. If you have a clog in the toilet, it's usually quite obvious as the water won't go down when the toilet is flushed. Some clogs that are quite close to the surface can be dealt with yourself. You may be able to plunge the clog or poke it until it can move through the system. For more stubborn clogs, you will likely need to hire a professional plumber, as they will have the tools and skills necessary to remove the clog without damaging your system. Drain Line Problem It is possible that everything on your toilet is working correctly, but it still won't flush. This usually means that the issue is deeper within the plumbing. The drain lines move your waste to your sewer, and this can experience a range of issues. If your toilet isn't flushing due to a drain line problem, you may notice that all of the drains in your house aren't working. Your sinks, bathtub, and shower may get backed up, or they may drain very slowly. The drain line may be clogged, and this requires the help of a professional plumber to come and unclog it. If your drain line is leaking or broken, this can also prevent your toilet from flushing. Things like trees and other roots in the garden may grow into the drain line and cause damage. You may need a CCTV drain survey  to determine the drain line issue before hiring a plumber to fix the problem at hand. Final Thoughts As you can see, there are several reasons why a toilet flush may break. However, the majority of toilet flush problems can be fixed quite easily. Begin by identifying the problem with your toilet flush and then follow the steps in this guide to fix your toilet flush quickly and easily.

The Offer is made to select minority shareholders and is open for acceptance until April 5, 2024. Africa Oil is under no obligation to purchase any specific number of shares in Impact. Africa Oil Chief Executive Officer, Dr Roger Tucker, commented: “The farm down agreement with TotalEnergies materially enhances Impact’s  investment case for Africa Oil. At no upfront cost, we retain exposure to the Venus development, and to the significant follow-on upside potential on Blocks 2912/2913B. Venus is expected to add significant reserves and production to Africa Oil’s portfolio from the late 2020s through the 2030s. This measured advance in our strategic shareholding strengthens our influence over Impact, in line with our objectives for 2024. These include positioning Africa Oil as the leading Independent E&P company in the Orange Basin, underpinned by its interests held through Impact, and its direct position in Block 3B/4B with a retained 17% interest on the completion of the farm down agreement with TotalEnergies and QatarEnergy, announced on March 6, 2024.

Elkem and Ferroglobe to study CCS in a common hub in Rana

"We are pleased to receive this grant from Enova, which will enable us to continue our important work towards reducing our carbon footprint. CCS is essential to reach net zero by 2050, and with this pre-study we will continue developing the strategy and maturing the concept for capturing and storing the CO2 from our plants. Funding, such as from Enova, is vital to make this project a reality," said Helge Aasen, CEO of Elkem.Elkem also plans to increase the use of biocarbon as a reductant within 2031, and some of the captured CO2 from Rana will be biogenic. This means that there is potential for negative emissions. “Support schemes which make CCS viable in a competitive global industry is necessary if we are to reach net zero. Credits for carbon removal is also among the possibilities, and we are glad the Norwegian government is looking into different potential financing schemes for carbon removal,” said Helge Aasen. The objective of the pre-study is to establish technical solutions for a carbon capture, liquefaction, temporary storage and off-loading system at port, and energy recovery systems, integrated to the two smelting plants. The technical solutions and documentation will be detailed to enable capex and opex estimates and preparing to further mature the projects. "We are pleased to support Elkem's work on the development of this exciting carbon capture project. Carbon capture technology will play a crucial role in the transition to a low-emission society, and this project is an important step in the right direction," says CEO of Enova, Nils Kristian Nakstad.The total CO2 emissions from the two plants will be about 520,000 MT CO2/year, and the project is planning for a capture rate of about 95%. This capture level was achieved in Ekem’s pilot project, which was completed in 2023. Part of the CO2 will be biogenic, and total energy recovered is between 900-1000 GWh, sufficient for carbon capture and domestic heat system in Mo i Rana, with excess energy delivered to the grid as electrical power.The overall budget for the pre-study is 33.4 MNOK, and the project will be executed during 2024, with the final reporting during Q1/2025.
