Approval of the boards' resolution to issue new share
The extra general meeting resolved to approve the board of directors' resolution to issue a maximum of 15,761,105 shares, without preferential rights for the Company's shareholders. The total increase of the Company's share capital can amount to a maximum of SEK 788,055.25. The subscription price for the new shares is SEK 15.50 per share, which is based on the price determined in an accelerated book-building procedure carried out by Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ) and Numis Securities Limited, in total SEK 244,297,127.50. All shares have been subscribed for and allotted.

Right to subscribe for the new shares, without the shareholders' preferential rights, shall belong to investors who have notified their interest in the accelerated book-building procedure carried out by Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ) and Numis Securities Limited, which was announced on 26 January 2021.

The reason for the new share issue of shares, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, is to diversify the shareholder base among Swedish and international institutional investors and at the same time raise capital in a time efficient manner and at attractive terms in order to enable the continuous expansion. The proceeds from the share issue are intended to e.g., to take advantage of the current Live e-commerce market is growing at a much faster pace than the Company expected 9 months ago and through this offer an improved product, scale with more customers, and introduce the product to new verticals. Further financing will allow the Company to shorten its lead times from roadmap to execution and grow in parallel with the global market growth.

The general meeting resolved, in accordance with the board of directors' proposal, to authorize the board of directors to, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, on one or more occasions until the next annual general meeting, decide on new issue of shares, warrants and/or convertibles in the Company.

Information to distributors
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the shares in Bambuser have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "EU Target Market Assessment"). Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process in the United Kingdom, the target market assessment in respect of the shares in the Company has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for such shares is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook, and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("UK MiFIR"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of such shares to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate (the "UK Target Market Assessment" and, together with the EU Target Market Assessment, the "Target Market Assessment").. Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Distributors should note that: the price of the shares in Bambuser may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the shares in Bambuser offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the shares in Bambuser is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, Bambuser (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Directed Issue. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Joint Global Coordinators will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II or UK MiFIR; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the shares in Bambuser.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the shares in Bambuser and determining appropriate distribution channels.
