The subscription period in Katalysen Ventures AB (publ) share issue starts today

Today, 25 March 2022, is the first day of the subscription period in Katalysen Ventures AB (publ)’s (”Katalysen” or the “Company”) share issue prior to planned listing on Spotlight Stock Market (the “IPO”). The subscription period lasts until 10 April 2022. A fully subscribed share issue will provide the Company with a total approx. SEK 11 million before deduction of transaction related costs. Memorandum, teaser and subscription forms are available on the websites of the Company (www.katalysen.com), Nordic Issuing (www.nordic-issuing.se) and Spotlight Stock Market (www.spotlightstockmarket.com). In addition, it is possible to subscribe via Scrive on Nordic Issuing's website.

Background and motive
Katalysen was founded in 2007 by entrepreneur and business developer Peter Almberg and was established as a “venture developer” in 2015. Today, Katalysen consists of eleven venture developers operating from offices in Stockholm, Sweden and Geneva, Switzerland. To date, Katalysen has invested its expertise and capital in 25 businesses.

By adding a combination of active expertise and financial capital, the Company reduces risk and increases the likelihood of success for more clients and their investors. These clients are generally in early stages, with company valuations of around SEK 30-300 million. In exchange for expertise and financial capital, Katalysen receives shares and stock options (generally long-term warrants). Stock options give Katalysen increased leverage without taking on debt, and a portfolio company that sees a 3X increase in value can, thanks to stock options, give Katalysen a return of up to 12X.

The motive behind the offering and listing on Spotlight Stock Market is to continue to create shareholder value by adding expertise and financial capital to early-stage companies in a structured way. With the issue proceeds, Katalysen intends to, among other things, expand the team and thus the expertise offered to clients, add more financial capital in new clients and continue to support the current portfolio. The IPO is also intended to strengthen the working capital. The listing will, among other things, create increased opportunities for good marketing of both the Company and its services. Furthermore, it will facilitate possible future share issues, which will help to maintain a high rate of development and expansion. A listing also helps to facilitate potential acquisitions of other companies, while providing the public exposure to unlisted companies that may otherwise be difficult to reach. An investment in Katalysen may therefore be an opportunity for diversification of an individual's overall investment portfolio. The companies in which Katalysen invests are generally characterised by relatively high risk.

Katalysen has been approved for listing subject to the condition that the minimum limit and a sufficient number of shareholders are met in the upcoming IPO. More information on Katalysen and the offering is presented in the Company’s memorandum which is available via the Company's (www.katalysen.com), Nordic Issuing’s (www.nordic-issuing.se) and Spotlight Stock Market’s (www.spotlightstockmarket.com) respective websites. Teaser and application forms will be available on the above-mentioned websites as of today, 25 March 2022. In addition, it is possible to subscribe via Scrive on Nordic Issuing's website.
