Not for disclosure, distribution or publication, directly or indirectly, in or into the US, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa or Singapore.
According to the announcement in connection to the offer to acquire shares in Actic and the listing of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq Stockholm (the “Offering”) the Global Coordinator may effect transactions on Nasdaq Stockholm aimed at supporting the market price of the shares at levels above or at the same level as those which might otherwise prevail in the open market.

Matters discussed in this announcement may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are all statements that do not pertain to historical facts and events, and statements that are attributable to the future and may be identified by words such as “deem”, “assess”, “expect”, “await”, “wait”, “judge”, “assume”, “predict”, “can”, “will”, “shall”, “should or ought to”, “according to estimates”, “consider”, “may”, “plan”, “potential”, “calculate”, “as far as is known” or similar expressions suitable for identifying information that refers to future events. This applies in particular to statements referring to future results, financial position, cash flow, plans and expectations for the company’s operations and management, future growth and profitability, general economic and regulatory environment, and other circumstances which affect the company. Forward-looking statements are based on current estimates and assumptions, which are based on the company’s current intelligence. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which may result in actual results, including the company’s financial position, cash flow and profits, deviating considerably from the results which expressly or indirectly form the basis of, or are described in, the statements, or may result in expectations which, expressly or indirectly, form the basis of or are described in the statements not being met or turning out to be less advantageous compared to the results which, expressly or indirectly, formed the basis of or were described in the statements. The Company’s business is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties which may result in forward-looking statements being inaccurate or an estimate or calculation being incorrect. Therefore, potential investors should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements herein and are strongly advised to read the sections of the prospectus that include a more detailed description of factors which have an effect on the company’s business and the market in which the company operates.
