In connection with the Offering or sale of securities referred to herein, the Global Coordinator and Bookrunner may over allot securities/conduct stabilization or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the securities at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. The stabilizing measures aimed at supporting the share price may be performed from the first day of trading in the shares on Nasdaq First North Premier, and for a maximum subsequent period of 30 calendar days. These stabilizing transactions can be carried out at a price not exceeding the price set in the Offer, and can be made on Nasdaq First North Premier, the OTC-market or otherwise.

The stabilizing measures may result in the market price of the shares reaching a level which is not sustainable in the long term and which exceeds the price that would otherwise prevail in the market. The fact that stabilizing measures may be carried out does not mean that these measures will necessarily be carried out. Further, stabilizing measures that have been initiated may be discontinued at any time. No later than by the end of the seventh trading day after stabilisation transactions have been undertaken, the Global Coordinator and Bookrunner shall disclose that the stabilisation transactions have been undertaken in accordance with Article 5(4) in EU's Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014. Within one week of the end of the stabilisation period, the Global Coordinator and Bookrunner will make public whether or not stabilisation was undertaken, the date on which stabilisation commenced, the date on which stabilisation last occurred, and the price range within which stabilisation was carried out, for each of the dates during which stabilisation transactions were carried out. Any stabilization action or over-allotment will be conducted by the Global Coordinator and Bookrunner in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
