Press release: Uppsala, Sweden, May 30, 2023. Dicot AB (publ) completed a rights issue of units during January 2023 which was oversubscribed to 110%. One unit consisted of four newly issued shares, three warrants of series TO4 and three warrants of series TO5. Each warrant of series TO4 entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share during the period from and including June 1, 2023, to and including June 15, 2023, with payment in cash and shall correspond to 70 % of the volume-weighted average price of Dicot's share during the period from and including May 15, 2023, to and including May 29, 2023, but not less than the quota value and not exceeding SEK 0.20 per share. During the measurement period, the volume-weighted average price in Dicot’s share was approximately SEK 0.157, and therefore, the exercise price for the warrants of series TO4 is set to SEK 0.11. The subscription period for the warrants of series TO4 runs from June 1, 2023, up to and including June 15, 2023.
NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, SOUTH AFRICA OR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR OTHER MEASURES.
If all the warrants of series TO4 are exercised for the subscription of new shares, Dicot will receive approximately SEK 24.8 million before issuing costs. In order for the warrants not to expire without value, it is required that the holder actively subscribes for new shares no later than June 15, 2023, or sells the warrants no later than June13, 2023.

A summary of the terms for the warrants of series TO4:
- Subscription period: June 1 – 15, 2023
- Last day of trading in warrants of series TO4: June 13, 2023
- Issue volume: 225,229,530 warrants of series TO4, which entitles to subscription of 225,229,530 shares. If all warrants are exercised, Dicot will receive approximately SEK 24.8 million before issuing costs.
- Exercise price: SEK 0.11 per share.
- Dilution: Upon full exercise of the warrants of series TO4, the number of shares may increase with not more than 225,229,530 shares, from 437,409,060 to 662,638,590 and the share capital to increase with not more than SEK 1,576,606.71, from SEK 3,061,863.42 to SEK 4,638,470.13.
