THIS PRESS RELEASE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO ACQUIRE SECURITIES IN PROSTATYPE GENOMICS AB. SEE ALSO THE “IMPORTANT INFORMATION” SECTION BELOW.

Prostatype Genomics AB ("Prostatype Genomics" or the "Company") announces that the Company's board, with the support of the authorization from the extraordinary general meeting on 21 April 2023, has resolved to issue 588,000 shares as guarantee compensation directed to a number of the guarantors who provided guarantee commitments in the preferential share issue that the Company carried out during the period 27 April to 11 May 2023, in accordance with the guarantee agreements entered into.

The guarantors who provided guarantee commitments in the preferential share issue had the option of having the compensation paid out in cash or in the form of issued shares in the Company, which was previously communicated in connection with the preferential share issue. In total, three guarantors have chosen to have the guarantee compensation paid out in shares. The company's board has therefore resolved, with the support of the authorization from the extraordinary general meeting on 21 April 2023, to issue 588,000 shares as compensation to these guarantors, which will increase the company's share capital by approximately SEK 35,280. The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential right were to enable a successful capital acquisition and to fulfill the guarantee agreements entered into.

The shares are issued at a price of SEK 0.25 per share, which corresponds to the subscription price in the preferential share issue and is therefore considered market-based in the board's assessment. The board has resolved that payment shall be made by offsetting the respective guarantor's claim on the Company. The guarantors’ total claim amounts to SEK 147,000. When these 588,000 shares together with the 96,009,888 shares that were issued in the preferential share issue have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, the number of shares in the Company will amount to 119,460,007 shares, and the Company's share capital to approximately SEK 7,167,600.42. The dilution that accrues as a result of the directed share issue to the guarantors amounts to approximately 0.5 percent after the preferential share issue has been registered.

The company has had no specific costs related to the directed share issue as this takes place as part of the work on the preferential share issue. However, the cash part of the warranty compensation that the Company needs to pay out is reduced to approximately SEK 2.0 million, from previously SEK 2.1 million.
