In the near future, a launch is planned in Southeast Asia with India and Vietnam and in the Middle East. The Company needs to strengthen its resources related to sales and marketing, as well as support for distributors. Feedback from customers has also shown a need for peripheral equipment for the instrument, which will result in additional sales for the Company. Parts of the proceeds is planned to be used for these development projects.

Upon full exercise of the warrants included in the issued units for subscription of B-shares, the Company will be provided additionally approximately SEK 13.1 million, before deductions for issue costs of approximately SEK 0.7 million. Use of the net proceeds from the Rights Issue is planned to be used and distributed according to the following order of priority and scope:

• Strengthen and expand sales and marketing: approximately 55 percent
• Development projects: approximately 20 percent
• Working capital: approximately 25 percent

The Rights Issue

The Board of Directors in Calmark has on the August 23, 2022, resolved, conditional on the Extraordinary General Meeting’s subsequent approval, to conduct a Rights Issue that consists of a maximum of 16,333,192 newly issued B-shares and 4,083,298 new warrants. Upon full subscription in the Rights Issue, the Company will receive approximately SEK 26.1 million, before issue costs. The Company's share capital may increase with maximum of approximately SEK 1,633,319.20, which is in total a maximum share capital of approximately SEK 4,889,957.90.

All registered shareholders on the record date September 27, 2022, has preferential rights to subscribe for units in relation to their existing shareholdings, whereby each existing share entitles to one (1) unit right and eight (8) unit rights entitle to subscription of one (1) unit. One (1) unit consists of four (4) newly issued B-shares and one (1) newly issued warrant. The subscription price is SEK 6.40 per unit, corresponding to SEK 1.60 per B-share (the warrants are issued free of charge).

Subscription of units shall also be possible without the support of unit rights. In the event that not all units are subscribed with the support of unit rights, the board shall, within the framework of the Rights Issue’s maximum amount, decide on the allocation of units according to the following principles. Allotment shall be made firstly to those who have subscribed for units by exercise of unit rights, regardless of whether they were shareholders on the record date or not, and in the event of oversubscription, in relation to the number of unit rights that each has exercised for subscription of units, and to the extent that this is not possible, by drawing of lots; Secondly, to those who have applied for subscription of units without exercise of unit rights, and to the extent that this is not possible, by drawing of lots; Thirdly and lastly, any remaining units shall be allocated to those who have provided guarantee commitments to subscribe for units, pro-rata on the basis of their guarantee undertaking and, to the extent that this cannot be done, through drawing of lots.

The subscription period runs from September 29, 2022, until October 13, 2022. Unit rights that are not exercised during the subscription period become invalid and lose their value. Trading of unit rights is expected to take place on the Spotlight Stock Market during the period from September 29, 2022, until October 10, 2022. Trading in BTU’s (paid subscribed units) is expected to take place from September 29, 2022, until the issue is registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

The dilutive effect for the shareholders who choose to not participate in the Rights Issue amounts to approximately 33.3 percent of the capital (calculated by dividing the number of new B-shares as a result of the Rights Issue with the total number of shares in the Company after a fully subscribed Rights Issue) and approximately 30.9 percent of the votes (calculated by dividing the number of new votes as a result of the Rights Issue with the total number of votes in the Company after the fully subscribed Rights Issue). In the event of full subscription of the Rights Issue and full subscription and exercise of the warrants included in the issued units, the dilution will amount to approximately 7.7 percent of the capital and approximately 7.2 percent of the votes. Total dilution assuming that the Rights Issue is fully subscribed, and all warrants are exercised amounts to approximately 38.5 percent of the capital and approximately 35.9 percent of the votes.

Warrants of series 2022/2023

The exercise period for the subscription of B-shares supported by the warrants will run from August 14, 2023, until August 28, 2023.

The subscription price for the subscription of B-shares using warrants will correspond to 75 percent of the volume-weighted average price paid for the Company's B-shares on Spotlight Stock Market during a period of ten (10) trading days prior to August 14, 2023. However, the subscription price cannot be higher than SEK 3.20 and not lower than SEK 1.60. This means that upon full subscription, the Company can receive up to SEK 13.1 million (before issue costs), depending on the exercise price, and if all the warrants are exercised for share subscription. Thus, the share capital may increase with a maximum of approximately SEK 408,329.80, which is in total a maximum share capital of approximately SEK 5,308,287.70.

The warrants are intended to be admitted to trading on the Spotlight Stock Market after the final registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Subscription undertakings and guarantee commitments

The Rights Issue is covered to approximately 28.3 percent by subscription undertakings and to approximately 51.7 percent by guarantee commitments. In total, approximately 80 percent of the Rights Issue is covered by subscription undertakings and guarantee commitments. Subscription undertakings have been submitted by a number of existing shareholders in the Company, including Wingefors Invest AB (SEK 2,529,427), Tef Invest AS (SEK 895,360), Millenium Falcon AS (SEK 1,434,944), Bengt Braun (SEK 373,274), Gainbridge Novus Nordic (SEK 1,000,000) and parts of the management and board (SEK 222,956).

About Calmark

Calmark Sweden AB is a MedTech company that develops and sells a point-of-care (POC) analysis system for a more time- and cost-efficient diagnostics procedure of common medical conditions in newborns. The unique test platform consists of a portable instrument and test cassettes for various biomarkers. Market launch of the first test, Neo-Bilirubin began in 2020. In developed healthcare systems, the introduction of POC tests leads to large costs savings and shorter healthcare chains. In less developed healthcare systems, Calmark's products offers a support for diagnosis that does not exist today as access to hospital laboratories is often limited. Calmark aims to become a global leader and in the long-term offer all relevant tests for newborns regardless of where in the world they are born. In addition to products for newborns, Calmark also sells a POC test for assessing the severity of covid-19. The B-share is listed on the Spotlight Stock Market and is traded under the name CALMA B.
